BY studying the Congressional Record
we find that two-thirds Of the Demo
cratic members who flibustered to de-
feat the Presidential count under the Ar
bitration bill, while they denounced the
board, took occasion to praise the bill it
self. Mr. Atkins, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, pronounced "the law a good
one," but dealt righteous damnation
upon the "eight miscreant men, who
stabbed the vitals of the Constitution un-
der cover of it. Others said it was a
Democratic measure because, uninstruct-
ed by TIE people, majority of the Dem
ocratic members voted for 1t. So did a
large number of the worst Radicals. We
protest that it is not Democratic meas
ure, but temporary expedient devised
by men Of both parties. If it is a
Democratic measure it is a putrid out
growth, an excrescence which ought to
be carved away from the body polite
without delay. The people will be slow
to devote their time and substance to
the achievement of Reform victories at
the polls hereafter il they have reason to
apprehend that they will be seized by
the nape and summarily led from victo-
rious fields to a High Commission
slaughter pen.

In Hon. A. S. Hewitt's letter of resig-
nation as Chairman of the National Dem
ooratic Committee, this statement is
made:
Inasmuch as differences of opinion exist
in regard to the policy which has been
pursued by the Democratic party since
the election, | have only to say that so
far as my action is concerned, whatever
has been done has received the approval
of the Executive Committee.
The differences" relate altogether to
Mr.. Hewitfs unfortunate leadership in
the matter of the Joint Commission blum
der; but he has no right to shift any
part of the responsibility upon the
Committee. 1t was never consulted
While the scheme was pending, report
was circulated that the Committee would
be called to consider the question and
the member from this State requested a
Representative in Congress from Missis-
sippi to serve as his proxy, with this in
junction:
Exercise your discretion on ali ques-
tons, except the Electoral Bill. Give
no vote endorsing or sanctioning it.

Hon. L. @. c. LAMAR's admittance
to his seat 10 the Senate with but a single
dissenting vote, is a triumphant answer
by that body to the charges of fraud and
intimidation which had been made to
impeach the Democratic victory in Mis-
sissippi in 1878. The vote is the more
significant because it was cast in the face
of the report of the Boutwell, committee.
1t was declaration of the Senate in
which even Morton participated that the
conclusion of that report that the election
was carried by illegal means, was not
warranted by the testimony. Missis-
sippi is relieved from the unjust imputa-
ton, and will henceforth be represented
in the Senate by citizen of her own
choice, fully accredited and able to speak
and to to act in her name. A new page
mas been written in her history.

SRr. Hayes Southern Policy.

The Washington Republican says that
the President will submit the Southern
question to his cabinet, and then after
consultation, determine his course and
''take such steps as he may deem expe-
dent" We thought it had been de-
cided 1t was so stated by his friends
during the electoral count according to
the statements of the Louisiana Repre-
sentatives. We fear he is letting Il

cess IS simple The United States
troops are a standing menace. Take
them away. Leave Governors Mich
oils and Hampton to execute the laws of
their respective States. They viii es-
tablish order and keep the peace upon
the basis Of equal rights to all without re-
gard to race, color or previous condition.
Tie problem will be solved. It cannot
be satisfactorily settled any other way.

Sure Enough.

| In the last hours of his Administration
Gen. Grant virtually confessed that his
military interference with the Southern
States was wrong. In appealing from
his decision not to continue the use OF
troops to maintain the government of
Packard in Louisiana, the pretender re-
minded the President that Gov Nicholrs
! represented the same cause which was
suppressed by the bayonet in 1874; and
added significantly:
''The validity of nay title as Governor
F." having been passed upon by the only
" tribunal known to the State laws, and
i" being noe confirmed By the decision Of The
:" National Tribunal, [ deem it my duty
I" to maintain the government by all
g means at my command"
There is no resisting this logic With
out the vote of louisiana Hayes would
have fallen short of the number requisite
to his installation and Packard has the
same title to office that he has. If the
latter is tainted and unworthy of recogni-
ton, as it undoubtedly is, so is the
former We Will be delighted if the new
President should carry out in good faith
his pledge not to employ the army to sup
port the Packard establishment in Louis
lana. We will be all the more gratifed
for the reason that in doing so he will
impeach his own claim to the Presidency.

Hon. HI. D.sNHOmey.

The Washington Gazette publishes tbs
speech of Hon. III. D. Money against
proceeding with the electoral count in
consequence of the refusal of the Presi-
dent of the Senate to open the certificate
which he had arbitrarily withheld, with
this deserved tribute to its author. The
Gazette is the only Democratic journal
published at the Capital:
No State in the Union had more at stake
in the just settlement Of the Presidential
succession than Mississippi, and foremost
among those who battled 20 defeat the ini-
quitous scheme to count in Hayes was her
energetic aud faithful Representative from
the Third District, Hon. III. D. MONEY. Fer

people as the time when the plot to cheat
them out of their hard-earned victory was

It is wrong to 10 Ike the Northern Dem-

representatives of the two sections on
that score. The facts are clearly stated
in the annexed article from the PhiIadel-

ton Plan and thought it nothing less than
heresy to have opposed it in its inception
and crime to have defeated the count
after it had commenced. From its stand

the following observations

The Cabinet appointments were all
confirmed. There was but one proper
course for Democrats to pursue. 1t was
to vote for the confirmation, provided the
persons named are qualified for the duties
of the offices for which they are appointed,
without reference to their political opin-
ions. Democrats expected Mr.. Hayes,
rs matter of course, to appoint Repub-
licans; and it is not for them to enter
into an examination of the various shades
of opinions which they may hold. If he
chooses to appoint Democrats, monde
scripts or go-betweens, the rule of action
ought to be the same. He is entitled to
his own choice of agents for administer
ing the government; and his political
opponents should concern themselves no
further than to require that they shall
be honest and capable.

Gov. Hayes will, undoub.e lily, in
making his Southern appointments, select
only men who live in the South, and are

hesitate in appointing Democrats when
