THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
The President still Hopeful
Of Its SucceSS-The OUT
look in Ohio.


Mr.. Cowles, the proprietor of the
Cleveland Leader, had an interview
with the President last night, during
which the political situation was
freely discussed by the latter. Mr.
Cowles told the President that the
dissatisfaction among the Ohio Re
publicans at the Southern policy is
so great as to probably result in the
State being lost to the Republicans
in October next by the Republicans
refusing to vote. The President
eUnced no surprise at this, but said
that although temporary defeat
might be encountered at the polls, in
the end the party would be stronger
than ever. The politics of the coun-
tfy are in a diseased condition, and
require severe treatment to be made
healthy again-not unlike the treat
ment extended by surgeons to per
sons who have diseased limbs. The
course taken by the surgeon is Sc
we're, but is the only course left to
save the life Of the patient. The
President says lie entertains no
doubt of the success of his policy,
which viii destroy the color line IN
politics and bring the best men in
both parties to the front. He ex-
pected that the Republicans would
certainly carry North Carolina and
Tennessee at the next election, and
already the Democratic party in
South Carolina, Is showing signs of
breaking up. He expected that
Hampton would pursue such a
course that two years hence the Re
publicans will be glad to nominate
and run him as their candidate for
Governor. The President said that
he also believed the Republicans
would carry Louisiana at the next
election, and that the Democratic
party in that State Will not be able
to hold together These, he said,
will be the fruits of the Southern
policy, which Just now is not accept
able to all Republicans.

The Constitutional Amend
mont.

The editor Of the West Union De-
fender, Hon. J. W. Eylar, who was
a member of the Legislature, and
voted for the Constitutional Amend
ment which is to be submitted to the
people at the October election, pre-
sents through his paper, the follow
ing facts in regard to the expense
of the existing Judiciary system, as
compared with that Of the new sys-
tem proposed by the amendment.
As we desire our readers to be
thoroughly posted on this important
subject, we shall from time to time
publish such arguments both for
and against the Amendment as may
be advanced by its friends and op-
ponents
Under our present system we
have 81 Common Pleas and Supe-
rior Court Judges, who receive a sal
ary of S2,5OO each, making a total
of S155,OO per annum. By turn
ing to the last State Auditor s report
it will be seen that the salaries of the
Probate Judges of this State amount
ed in the year ending September,
1876, to $2O3,3O2.7O, thus making
the combined annual salaries of the
Common Pleas and Probate Judges
S358, ,3O2.7O.
Under the new system it is pro
posed to abolish the Probate Court,
and set up in its place q County
Court with Common Pleas and Pro
bate jurisdiction. It will take IS
Judges to run these Courts, who, if
they receive a salary of 81, 800 each
will cost the people S220,000 per
annum. In addition to this it is
proposed to create a District Court
composed of twenty Judges, who, if
they receive a salary of $4,000 each,
will make the new Judicial system
cost the people of Ohio S280,00O per
year, or one hundred and thirty
eight thousand dollars less than the
present system. In Hamilton and
Cuyahoga counties the present Judi
ciaI force will have to be maintained
at cost of S55,O00 per annum,
which viii reduce the above esti-
mates that much, leaving a net saw
ing to the people, however, OF over
$4,000 per annum.
It strikes us that if there is no
other reason why the new system
should be adopted this alone is sufi-
cient, and should be considered by
the taxpayers. In addition to this,
however, there viii be a saving of at
least $4,000 per annum in the way
of Jury fees. The Courts Of the
State are so crowded that very few
cases can be reached when dOcketed;
and such persons as attend our
Courts have seen juries sitting
around for days with nothing to do
because thereof 1t is safe to say
that this item alone costs each coun-
ty in Ohio, on an average, at least
$500 per annum. In the counties of
this sub division the average is
greater, being so much as $1,000
per annum in an adjoining county,
and not less than $500 in this
county.
It is our opinion that the amend
ment should be ratified and to this
end we hope that the good sense Of
thinking people viii triumph over
the bad judgment of the newspapers
and expectant politicians who are
fighting it.

Our Republican exchanges in
Southern Ohio are generally pleased
with hesuggestion of our townsman,
H S. Doggett, Esq, for State
School Commissioner.
The Wilmington Republican says
We see from some of our exchang-
ies that H. S. Doggett, Esq, Super
intendent of the Hillsboro Schools, is
favorably spoken of as a candidate
on the Republican ticket for State
School Commissioner. We second
the suggestion, and from what we
know Of Mr.. DOggett's qualifications,
we are led to believe that he would
be the right man in the right place.
The Wilmington Journal says
The name ofMr. Il. S. Doggett, of
Highland county, has been suggest
ed as State School Commissioner at
the coming election. We would be
glad to see Mr.. Doggett's name upon
the Republican ticket. He is a man
Of excellent qualifications and would
do credit to himself and the State if
elected. We believe the voters OF
this county would heartily endorse
his nomination.
Mr.. H. S. Doggett, of Hillsboro,
is spoken of as probable candidate
before the Republican State Conven-
ton for nomination for the Office OF
State School Commissioner Mr..
Doggett is now Superintendent of
the Hillsboro schools, and is highly
esteemed as a gentleman and scholar,
and his friends are strong in the be-
lief that he is in possession of those
qualities that are desirable in the
position to which they desire to pro
mote him.-[S [Scioto Gazette.

of the records TO Columbus, but we suppose they
