Administration Of Mr.. Hayes, SO long as
he faithfully adheres to the principles

In the midst of denunciatious by Wen
dell Phillips, james G. Blaine, Ben Wade,
Ben Butler, and the Camerons, Mr. Hayes
has received the commentators of Gov.
Hartranft, of Pennsylvania. But the evi.
dence of the coming revolt in the Repub-
lican party aecumulates. 1t is evident
that Mr.. Hayes will have to throw himself
upon the Democratic party for support,
unless he backs squarely down from his
present position towards the South. If he
stands firm and is able to secure follow
ing Of three or four Republican Senators,
he can secure the cooperation of both
branches of Congress against the ultra
Radicals.

Washington dispatches complain Of the In
sutheiency OF the appropriations for coast
armament during the past four years, and say
there is not a gun upon any Of our fortifca'
tons Of sufficient calibre TO prevent power
tel iron. clad from entering any Of our har-
bors. Several experimental guns have been
made during the last two or three years, but
they are useless for want Of money to test
them. II is also said that in small arms we
are now worse off than we were in 1851.
If congress would listen to our Army
and Navy officers, they would burn up in
powder, and expend in one experiment or
another, all the money in the Treasury,
and then call for more. They have been
testing" for years, one sort of gun after
another, until they have shot away ammu-
milton enough in foolish experiments, to
go long way towards paying of our ua-
tional debt. Some of cur Notifications
have been shot to pieces to aid in this
testing process. We are in no danger
from foreign iron-clads just now, and need
no heavy expensive guns in our coast for
ti6cations; and if it be true that We are
worse of for small arms than we were in
1861, after an annual expenditure of some
s4O,OOO,OOO for military purposes, it is
difficult to say what amount would have
to be expended TO put the country in a
proper state of defence. We should have
to bankrupt the treasury and the people
to satisfy the demands of the military.

script the Doctor read the poem to the
President and family and a few friends
who were present The sentiments of the
production were approved by Mr.. Hayes,

for the compliment aad the gift. DR..
Etchison will be remembered as the author
Of the doggerel purporting to be "a petit
ton of Eve Thousand ladies in behalf Of
local option" presented to the Legislature
Of 1874, in which he managed to incor-
porate all the names of the members.
Five thousand copies of it were ordered to
be printed by the House. The Doctors
poetic machine runs ordinarily without
grease, but we suspect the lines to Mr..
Hayes, look, ultimately, to fabrication

The belief is sprea ding that the colored
race in South Carolina and Louisiana will
fare infinitely better under Hampton and
Nichols than they did under the Radical
carpet-bag regime. 1t is well known that
in South Carolina especially, nothing was
done for their education, the public school
money being all expended by dishonest
officials for other than school purposes.
The carpet-baggers in both States are
packing up to leave, and there will be no
one, now, to stir up and foment discon-
tent and riot, and peace and order may be
expected to prevail to a much greater ex
tent than heretofore.
