The Southern Question.

We cannot approve the Presi-
dents policy o. another Southern
commission; but if nothing else will
do-if he is too timid or too mean
to do justice in accordance with his
promises-suchm men as Gov. Brown
and Kenneth Raynor can render
valuable service to the country by
serving on the Commission. There
is no sense in another investigation.
Commission after commission, and
delegation after delegation, have re-
ported on this subject, and nothing
was ever more thoroughly investi
gated. And yet the President hes
itates to act, and appoints another
commission simply for delay. Mean
time the commercial, industrial and
social interests of the country are
languishing. A few more weeks
delay will be fatal. No preparation
for crops can be made until the
question is settled in Louisiana.
The planters can do nothing. They
have no supplies, and can get none
without credit. The merchants and
capitalists can not afford to make
advances to them until confidence
and peace are assured, and there
can never be confidence and peace
with Federal bayonets unfolding
usurping and hated local govern
ment. Hayes has deceived the
country. He promised to act
promptly in Withdrawing troops
from the South, but the party lash
has been laid across his shoulders
and he hesitates. Our great Second
jackson" (Great Cody hesitates to
do right. This usurpation in South
Carolina and Louisiana is griev.
Gus wrong, and Mr.. Hayes knows
it and has acknowledged it. His
plain duty is to withdraw the troops
and permit the legally elected State
governments to assume authority.
But the anarchists of his party,
Morton, Garfield, Blaine, Chandler
d Co, the men who controlled
Grant, seem to have the same intlu
ence with him that they did with
Grant, and he seeks delay through
the agency of another "commis
sion" He has surrendered to the
extremists much sooner than we
expected. His promises, which
gave hope to the country, have been
disregarded and he stands to-day
before the country a second
Grant" and not a Jackson. Now
it is in order for him to put two
good men like Brown and Reynor
on the commission and three per-
jurers like Bradley. Then his infa-
my will be complete. This com
mission is likely to prove another S
to fraud. Gov. Brown will have |

From the Fort Worth Texas
Daily Democrat we clip the follow
ing item:
Bill Arp, late of Georgia, the man
who furnished the witticisms and
odd sayings, which Charles H.
Smith prepared and published some
years ago, was accidentally KILLED
near this place, Decatur, Texas, J
on Monday, March 9Th. He fell
from a wagon loaded with corn, the
wheels passing over his neck, kill
ing him instantly. When he left
home in the morning he told his
family be would never again be
permitted to enter the house alive;
and, strange to say, he was within
fifty yards of the house on his re-
turn when the sad accident occurred
which terminated so fatally. He
was a remarkable man, but replete
with original ideas and witty say
ings, he rarely ever spoke without
saying something pithy.
