THE Democratic party bias always "a.

lHE DemoCrauc party mas always Ia
ken position hostile to military inter.
ference on the part of the United States
Government in State affairs. Our whole
system Of government is against it; the
Constitution is againstit, as practiced by
the Republican party in power. Home
rule--local self-government by the peo-
pie, express the idea entertained by the
founders Of the government, and always
approved by. the people.
The great question in our politics since
the conclusion of the war has, been this
thing Of The general government inter
fering by the strong arm of the military
to sustain usurping and robbing carpet
baggers in power in the Southern States.
The Republican leaders and organs and
their administrations have continually
approved this interference and defended
the same. Even during the late Presi-
dental campaign this was the case.
But during the progress of the count,
Mr.. Hayes, through his friends, Foster,
Matthews and others, pledged himself,
if counted in, to withdraw the troops from
South Carolina and Louisiana at once,
and thus place those bulldozed States on
the same plane of right that other States
are. 1t was this pledge that induced
Democratic members Of the House to
permit the count to go on to conclu-
sion favorable to Hayes and Wheeler,
But for this pledge the fraud would not
have been consummated, and Mr. Hayes
the man defeated, would not have been
counted in.
Now the policy which Mr.. Hayes
through his friends agreed to carry out
in the South is simply the Democratic
policy, and we regret that he has not car
ried it out in prompt, Democratic way.
He is bungling terribly; and we fear,
the evil elements of his party, the same
elements that have hitherto ruled it, will
again prevail. There being no insurrec-
ton in those States, Mr.. Hayes as Pres
ident' should instantly have ordered the
army withdrawn. That was his duty
under the bargain by which he was
counted in. Mr.. Hayes's hesitation and
delay has given the radical element
greater opportunity to assail him fierce
ly, and discuss the matter that has been
discussed and reported on for years
Packard comes at Hayes with bold de.
fant letter. Wendell Phillips assails
him and his policy fercely.
If President Hayes lacks power to
keep an army in New Orleans to hold
the State House, surely he has no right
under the Constitution, to send civil
commission into it. And ifhe has power
to send a commission to investigate,
consider and discuss, he must expect
Packard and company to take hand,
and all this may lead to disagreeable
consequences, especially to Mr.. Hayes
Packard and company will be very likely
to inquire if Mr.. Hayes is lawfully elect

We much regret Mr.. Hayes's blunder.

not do better than this he had better
throw up the sponge and resign, and let

running this government in accordance
with Truth, Justice and the Constitution.

to nav for it then, but that her husband,

his invariable rule was to sell only 10r
cash on delivery, when some angry Woorus
were spoken, and Beach left. Soon alter

men who proceeded to attack him with
canes or clubs. A scuffle ensued, when
one of the men drew pistol and shot
Reach This man turned out to be Zoe,
