How little reason there is for disappointment
r the delay in withdrawing the troops from the South
we'll stated in The Washington STAR and its words can
- ordored with profit by all parties: Ever since MI
,,ros has been inaugurated he has been overrun by
ALLEGATIONS representing the dual Governors III Lousi-
ana and South Carolina, who have offered endless pans

troops we're be withdrawn and Packard and ChamDer
lain would be forced by surrounding CIRCUMSTANCE "

Discussing the Southern question in the last
issue of Harpers Weekly, Mr. George W. Curtis says
Nobody can be justly reproached for saying that a
policy which lost to the Republicans every southern
State which has cectuay protected the negro and
which has mbittered the jeaousies OF classes ana Oh
race however indispensable it may nave been "neh
adopted is not a wise permanent policy. policy may
have been wise and unavoidable IL years ago. when IL
modify in order to secure more surely the
results for which IL was originally adopted. There can
be no doubt that If the freedmen had been abandoned at
the end of the tho local selfgovernment OF the
old slavchodng class and the white trash they Wouu
have been reduced TO condition little better than
slavery That danger has in great measure pasSedaWay
Twelve years have taught the citizens their power
ana the Old citizens the necessity 1or the own %
frjeuty relations. And above all, whatever wrongs
may 4
The remedy is be sought under the law, ana under me
law only There cannot be one KIND OF national prOte-
ZION in one ate aud another kind i'll another state III

Yet another plan for solving the Southern
,rohes that of The P0qbkecUsie Eagle which wants
President Hayes to go down to the disputed states MN
self The EGgie says: ave reason why an lnfo-
nr,etv should attach TO his going. on the other
hand there appear TO us many good reasons
why he should go. No more importanf work
resents itself to his Administration than the pacl-
etion Of those States. No work to be done in Washing
ton within the month compares with II i'll gravity OF
IL, the decacy OF management required for It's proper
eompetion The simple fact OF President HayeSS pres
epce would help greatly to put both parties on cr DcSV
behavior and thus establish conditions favorable to an
apdcablc AMI mutually honorable settlement There are
abundant lrcccouts for visits by the President 10 Var
ops uart Of the country ascertain their condition and
wants Washington himself made an extended tOar
through the South for that purpose soon alter MS eec
