PRESIDENT HAYES AND HIS
SOUTHERN POLICY.
A Washington correspondent, wr

A washington correspondent, WIFI
ing to the New York Herald, says:
The determination of the President
to have nothing in Louis ana but
peace gives great satisfaction here,
where it is considered a settled queS-
ton that President Hayes will, on an
understanding with Governors Mich
OILS and Hampton that no Disorders or
injustice shall he allowed, remove the
troops and let those States govern
themselves according to the will OF
their people. When this Is done, a
Southern Democrat said on Sunday,
"Tnere will cease to lie any Southern
question: and it is the opinion of the
lest informed men here that the new
President will find himself cordially
supported in the South by a r-specta
bic and numerous class in all proper
measures of policy, and that he Will
find no difficulty i'll procuring the help
of influential men in all these States,
natives and old residents.
1t is already reported by persons
who pretend to be we'll informed tn At
the new Cabinet will contain two
Southern men, and the name of sem
ator Hamilton, of Texas, and General
Gibson of Louisiana; Governor Hamp
Ton, of South Carolina; Ex-Governor
Browne, of Tennessee, and others are
mentioned. 1t is possible, however,
that President Hayes will find no
Southern men whom he wants willing
at this time to enter his Cabinet, anh
that they Will say to him that they
prefer to give hin for the present All
independent support, and let further
and closer alliances of the Cabinet
kind wait until his general policy and
his course toward the southern States
have had time to declare them>elve'
and TO be understood 10y the Southern
people. This decision would be a wise
one, and it would, no doubt, he agree

could, at a subsequent period, make
room in his Cabinet for such Southern
men as he should then see would give
more strength to his administration.

WHAT HENDRICKS SAYS.

The New York Rerald's ~Indianapo-
lis correspondent interviewed Hen

election As a defeat. He continued,
very decidedly: The Commission

result will be the election of Hayes.

will not be satisfactory to the country.
and the longer the people think upon
it the more will it he condemned. But
for this Commission bill, the Senate
would have elected Hayes and the
House 1Ilden. Both would have been
inaugurated. Hayes would have had
the support of the army, the office
holders and other of the
Government, leaving Tilden nothing
TO fight with. had a fight been deemed
advisable. The statement hat Hayes
Will recognize the Nichols govern

Cassidy.

1t always pleases us when we hear
good things said of our 'Senior," and
for this reason we take pleasure in
copying the following truthful, first
class notice from the Virginia Enter
prise: 'Sepator George w. Cassidy
deserves well from the people OF TINS
State. He is always clear in his views,
and is generally in the right when any
question of importance is under con-
sideration. A friend who came up
from Carson last evening assures US
that his speech yesterday was the
strongest and best speech OF SEES
sion. He showed that the proposed
compromise of the bullion tax was en-
tirely i'm the interest of the people at
large, and gave facts and figures to
prove how much of a reduction in tax
alton would be effected by the adoption
of the measure. He spoke simply for
the people and their interests, advocat-
ing the measu as n which appealed
directly to the common sense OF
every taxpayer in the State. 1t is with
pleasure that we are able to lay this
record before the public. We wish
we had a copy of the speech, that we
might place it where it would make
its own appeal for the approval OF the
people. The brief synopsis furnished
by the telegraph will, however, give
an idea of it's bearings. Senator Cas-
sidv learned long ago a fact which
some of his brother Senators seem in
capable of compromising, namely:
That upon the mines hangs the pros
peritv of the State; that but COMPARE
lively few men ever have the ability,
pluck and money combined to open
and develop mines; that these should
be- encouraged in every reasonable
way. He knows very we'll, too, what
IL wsuits mean, and what is implied
when the proposition is made for. a
S ate to borrow money. We are glad
that he has put himself uponthe record
in such a way that his enemies, two
wears hence, will be forced to confess
that in sagaclty he proved himself, in
his bullion-tax business, the superior

THE FRENCH PROGRESSIvEIDEA

With the continued life and rapidly
growing strength of the French Re-
public, papal power seems to be wan
ing, and it is not unlikely that the time
is not a decade in advance OF US when
it will have passed away altogether, so
far as its control of politics is concerned.
The expected death Of the Pope-for
at So years of age I've the immortats
of the French Academy sink into sec
ond childishness and mere oblivion
creates but little real interest in France
and still less in Italy. The fact is that
papacy has ceased to be a political
power in those countries, and free
thinkers, not courts, occupy cardinals
and the episcopacy. To be sure, the
clergy are making a desperate fight to
regain their ascendency over modern
society, but in France, at least, tina,
end recedes more and more from their
feverish grasp. Unfortunately for
them the clergy give their antagonists
too many occasions for attack, and
from the one sided results of these fire.
qusnt encounters between Church and
State we judge the French Republic tc
be resolved that the Church shall con.
fine itself to spiritual functions, fol
which it is endowed, and leave poll
tics to politicians. AS a European steE
towards severing the influences of re.
ligion from those of politics, this state
of things is noteworthy. 1t is demo.
cratic doctrine that all may freely i'm
bibe with safety to the country.
