My next letter will probably be dat
ed rom the Black Hills. We have
concluded to spend another month
wandering through the hills and
dsles. in hopes that fortune may yet
smile on US, and If our hopes fail us.
we will then take up u backward
march. Although the summers are
40 delightful the winters are very
severe, and the storms long and bitter.
Snow falls to an unprecedented depth,
and no would willingly encounter
its rigor. After all that can be said of
nature and her enjoyments, there are a
few things pertaining to the settle
meuts that make us anxious to see
them again. One is out of the world
here entirely; no newspapers, very
few books, and above all, none of the
softer sex grace these solitudes. and
we long for these statements. If we
should make any new discoveries, or
anything Of interest transpire, l will
duly forward the notes thereof.

Is 1t Statesmanshipl 2

The craftsmanship of Hayes admin
istration has not developed extraordi-
nary strength. Two defeated candi-
dates for the governhrship of two
Southern States were attempting to eX-
ercise the functions of their Offices
when the Cabinet met for the first time.
These usurpers maintain the same rev.
olutionary attitude to-day, supported
by the Federal bayOnets Grant placed
in Columbia and New Orleans TO pro-
tect them from the operations OF judi
cial process emanatng from the right
full State authorities. In his inaugu-
raj address Hayes emphatically an
nounced the policy of nOn-intervention
10 the operations Of the State govern
ments by the Federal power. There
was, therefore, only one course for him
to take. The usurpers Packard aud
Chamberlain claim legitimacy, with
the people of their respective States
fatty against them and repudiating
them. They are utterly unable TO ex-
ercise gubernatorial functions they
can not collect taxes their govern
ments" are absolute shams. These
shams the Administration has sup
ported for. three weeks, on the plea
that it did not fully grasp the situation,
aud must have time to consider the
subject" There is no craftsmanship
here. The whole country suffers from
the effects of the vacillating movements
of the, Presidential weathercock. First
a new election was proposed in the two
States. \This was glaringly uuconsti-
tutiOual, aud necessltated tho exercise
of dictatorial power on the part Of
Hayes. Fortunately for his reputH-
ton, he abandoned this scheme. Then
came the letters of Messrs. Matthews
and Evarts, asking Packard and Cham
berlain to resign, and clearly intima-
ting that the Administration expected
them to do il. The usurpers refused,
and chuckled over the fact that by the
request for their designations they were
virtually acknowledged as governors.
Hayes approved these letters. They
proved abortive. Then came the
commission" scheme, which, If put in
operation, will probably proloDg the
settlement until Congress meets IN
June. 1t is condemned as farcieal by
thinking men Of both parties. There
Is no statesmanshlp IN the commis-
sion" scheme. The fact is, Hayes has
nothing to do with the recognition
Of State. Grant assumed that States
were provinces, and manipulated them
at pleasure. Hayes seems 70 be pos
sessed of the same heretical notion.
The Constitution gives the President
no power to lord it over States. IL
does require him, together with the
Senate and House, as acting for the
States, to guarantee to every State in
the Union republican form Of gov
ernment." Such are the governments
of Hampton and Nichols. Such are
not the shams of Packard and Cham
berlain. The constitutional duty Of
Hayes, as chief executive, is, therefore,
to remove at once the bayonet obstruc-
tions which prevent the free exercise
Of "a republican form OF government"
in Louisiana and South Carolina
That would be statesmanship. Shrink
ing his manifest duty in the premises
is not statesmanship.-- Courier-J0iu-
nat.

Firnlness and PrudenceA

The South, to become prosperous
and powerful, must act independently
of Northern parties. She must dictate
her own terms as the condition of her
alliance hereafter, and no longer con y
sent to keep her nose to the grindstone
for the benefit of those who cannot if
so disposed, aud who probably would
not if they could at any cost to them
selves, promote her substantial mate
rial interests. To secure the asoen-
dency of party in sympathy with the
overwhelming majority of intelligent
taxpayers of our section-a party that
would respect the will of that majority
and appoint to official positions those
who command their respect aud con-
fidence and leave each State of the
South free to select its own rulers aud
to administer its own affairs, under
the Constitution, in accord with the
will of the majority party that
would not withhold from the South
such immunities, privileges, and gov
ernment aid as they claim for the East,
North, and West is what we desire,
and the Conservatives of the South
have only to stand firm with unbroken
ranks to secure their terms. Already
the solid South" has excited the alarm
of the Northern fanatic and opened
his eyes to the necessity of change
of policy. 1t was this that defeated
the bloody-shirt Morton and Blaine at
Cincinnati and compelled the nomina-
ton of the more moderate Hayes and
firmness aud prudence is all that is
wanting now, we verify believe, to Sc
cure from the present Administration,
dependent as it is, with an opposition
majority in one house and a closely
balanced vote in the other, upon con-
servative support for its success, such
terms as will substantially secure to
our section all that we are entitled to
under the Constitution, which is all
we have a right TO demand or any party
the right to concede; letevery Southern
man then stand fast by his conserva-
tism, and yield not to overtures per-
sonal to himself alone, aud we will be
able to compel such treatment as the
mere sense of right and justice would
probably never secure our section at
the hands of the preiudiced North
Richmond Wing.

that letter2
Mr.. Foster-It was a statement by
Mr.. Matthews and myself as to what
we believed would be the policy of
President Hayes in dealing with the
Southern question. 1t contained moth
ing more than was contained in my
speech on the subject. We did not re-
tain copy of the letter, and can not
give its exact contents.
Reporter-Whati is your opinion as
tothe object of the publication of false
reports regarding this matter?
Mr.. Foster-Its object is evidently
to weaken and cripple the Admintra-
tion in dealing with this Southern
question, and to disaffect Southern
men who are working in good faith to
uphold and sustain the President.

them. and In the face of the earnest
remonstrances of their constituents
IF few had faltered, the panic would
have been general, the work of the
Commission would have been fruitless
and before this time, in my opinion, a
hurricane of war would have been
sweeping over the land.
Hope deferred has sickened the
hearts of Southern men. | do not un-
derstand nor do | appreciate the de-
lay of President Hayes. He ought
not to hesitate. The whole country
expected this great and good work at
his hands. Passionate men are heap
ing invectives upon the heads of those
Democrats who voted to stand by the
execution of the electoral bill. This
pains me, but causes no regret for my
action.
In conclusion, I will say that I
have full faith in the fulfillment of
the assurances contained in the let
ters of Messrs. Foster and Math-
thews. They are honorable men. | can
not believe that they would attempt
deliberate deception. They are the
intimate friends of the President.
They knew his views, and expressed
them in these letters. An honest con-
struction of their language means that
the atonomy of Louisiana and South
Carolina should be restored.
1t is impossible that the President,
under all the circumstances, in view of
his own utterances and the promises
of his friends, can refuse at once to
make Louisiana and South Carolina as
free as Ohio, and have the flag float
over States, not provinces-over free
men, not subjects. )" If done, the peace
and prosperity of the Republic will be
secured; if not done, the whole re-
sponsibility for the consequences,
whatever they may be, will rest upon
President Hayes.

ture.

Not satisfied with introducing about
thirty bills to repeal the dog law. the
Legislature set about devising means
to swindle the creditors Of the State
out of what is justly their due. One
OF their acts was to fix the rate at one
mill on the dollar. This is repudih-
ton, and was meant fer that The
exising rate of four mills will not pay
current expenses and interest on the
debt, so the Legislature gave the cred
itors warning of what to expect by
putting the rate at one mill on the dol
lar. And that, too, just after the
bondholders in New York had most
generously offered to donate 10 the
State forty per cent Of the debt. That
is, they offered to take sixty cents on
the dollar in new bonds, running thirty
years, thus donating TO the State near
ly one-half of what is owing them.
And that, too, when the State is am
ply able to pay every cent of the debt,
face value.
This yelp of poverty is merely the
cloak OF dishonesty. There is not a
State which borders Tennessee but
that has as higher rate of taxation
than four mills. This tells the story
Of dishonesty aud bad faith too plainly
to be mistaken. If the rate here was
higher than surrounding States, there
might be some occasion OF complaint,
but as it is, the present treatment of
the creditors is downright dishonesty.
Take the average rate Of taxation Ia
Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Missouri,
West Virginia and Kentucky, and ap-
ply il to Tennessee, aud it would be
amply sufficient to pay current expen-
ses and interest on the public debt.
Yet, in the face of this, the creditors
generously offer to throw off forty per
cent. of this debt, and Only ask for
the interest on the balance, and a very
small sum to be laid aside each year
as a sinking fund for ultimate redemp-
ton of the new bonds given for the
old on bisis ofsixty cents on the dol
lar.
Yet they are met by "A summary re-
duction of the rate to one mill on the
dollar, which will not half pay cur
rent expenses This is to force the
creditors to take thirty three cents on
the dollar, or some such small per
cent, or Tepudiate altogether. In the
history of rascality and reputation
there are few instances the equal ofthis.
The tlush of shame is brought 10 the
face of every States honor man in
Tennessee, for he is made a party TO
the wrong done these innocent eredl-
tors. They have parted with their
money on the plighted faith and honor
of the State, and after waiting patient
ly some years for their interest, they
are told in effect to take thirty or forty
cents on the dollar for their debts,
or nothingl And that, too, by State
which is abundantly able to pay, aud
which has not even the excuse Of levy
ing higher rate Of taxation than any
Of the surrounding States.

EIGHT years ago Gen. Grant entered
the White House amid the clapping
of hands and the acclaim Of the nation.
Hayes enters the Presidency with
scarcely a ripple of enthusiasm. Grant
took the Presidency honestly. Hayes
takes it by the theft. Grant accepted
the Presidency-a hero. Hayes ae-
cepts it-a weakling. Grant took the
Presidency a second time with pop
ular majority of three-quarters Of a
million of votes. Hayes takes it in a
minority of nearly a million of the
white votes of the country. Grant was
made President in 1868 by an Eleeto-
raj vote of 214 to H. Hayes is made
President by minority of % in the
Electoral vote-and the Returning
Boards. Grant is a man of great Arm
ness, of invincible determination, of
boundless devotion to his friends, with
the qualities of leader, with the abil-
ity. the consistency, to hold party to-
gether. Hayes possesses none of these
qualities. He begins the exercise of
the Administration that was stolen,
with confusion, and falsehood, and a
quarrel. Grant had the alteration of
his party. Hayes has its contempt.
And with all these splendid advanta-
ges, with integrity equal to that OF
Hayes, President Grant could not save
the Republican party from defeat he
could only keep his head above water
by the aid of those modern buOys Of
the Republican party called Returning
Boards, and a Commission. Can
Hayes hope to do better? The ele-
ments of weakness and decay are in
herent in the party whose mission is
ended. IfGrant, real leader, could
not save it, Hayes can not, Neither
imperial diguities, nor the gloom Of
solitude" says Tacitus, could save
Tiberius from himself" Hayes can
not save the Republican party from
itself And this is why Democrats,
gazing on the confusion into which the
Administration of Mr.. Hayes is al
ready plunged, may, like Paul at the
Three Taverns, thank God and take
courage Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, states
that he only accepted the position on
the commission to Louisiana after the
frequent solicitation and urgent advice
of leading Democrats in Washington
and New Orleans. He hopes the COM
mission may be able to forward the

can see no feasible plan for doing so
now. He thinks the way will be found
clear when the commission reaches
Louisiana and takes in the situation.
He will heartily cooperate in doing

terest of establishing the rightful gov
ernment.
