IFrom the Delaware County Republican,
1t is too soon to speak freely Of the
Presidents policy, for it is being devel-
oped SO slowly that no one can guess
what a month will bring forth. Our dis
appointment at the result in South Caro-
lima is tempered by the fact that all par
ties admitted that Hayes bad fairly car.
ried its electoral vote. The legal au-
thorities said Chamberlain had likewise
carried the State, but this return was
disputed by the Democratic Congression
al committee. Alike policy pursued in
Louisiana will be fatal to President
Hayes's title to his own office, for no one
ever contended that Packard ran behind
the Presidential ticket.
we believe that Hayes was fairly elect.
ed, and claim that bis title TO the Office
cannot be fairly disputed. So holding,
we are more than ever anxious that nei
ther he nor any Of his Cabinet shall wea-
ken that title IN any way, and that those
of them who have apenchant for playing
with edged tools should be checked in
good time.
From present indications, the Southern
question will not be settled before the
meeting OF Congress, and many believe
that the conciliatory policy OF Hayes il
only designed TO capture the organization
OF the House. This we doubt, for, with
South Carolina and Louisiana given over
to rebel control. the United States Senate
will be lost The Republican majority
there is but four and these changes will
give the Democrats two majority, and
with it the power to cripple the Admin
istration and practically dictate its sp-
pointments. SO that any such pro
Iramme. il it involved such yielding in
Louisiana 40 was manifested in the case
of South Carolina. would be fatal mis-
take-a political mistake like TO that

FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES FOSTER

We do not see how the Republican
party Of Ohio can avoid nominating
Charles Foster for Governor. lie and
Stanley Matthews made contract with
the Southern Dem ocrats just before the
adjournment OF Congress. by which il
was agreed that the rebels should cease
filibustering and let Hayes be counted in.
and Foster and Matthews pledged Hayes
TO turn over South Carolina and Louisi-
ana to the rebels. The dicker has been
carried out 80 far to the very letter. and
Matthews has been rewarded by an elec
tion to the u. s. Senate. Now let Fos.
ter receive his reward by q nomination
for Governor, and let all the present
members of the Legislature which en-
dorsed the dicker by the election Of Mat
thews. be nominated for reelection.
There will have to be another election
for U. >. Senator by the Legislature
which will be elected next fall, as Mat
thews will only serve out the unexpired
term OF John Sherman.
Now we want to see whether the peo-
pie OF Ohio are in favor OF the sell out,
and the policy" OF President Hayes.
and the nomination of Foster and the
men who elected Stanley Matthews will
settle the QUESTION.

HOW rs THIS?

We found the following in the tele-
graphic report of the proceedings in the
House Of Representatives of last Friday:
The Senate's amendments to the reso-
luton providing for printing the consti-
tutional amendments excited a sharp de.
bate in the House.
The Senate set the price at seventy
cents per square. Mr.. Monahan moved
to strike out seventy and insert fifty. The
motion was defeated.
Mr. Converse moved to set the price
at seventy five cents; defeated by 46 TO
81
Mr.. Bohl moved to set the price at
sixty.five cents; agreed to. The other
amendments were rejected and a Com
mittee of Conference asked Tor.
On Saturday, April 7, 1877, we receiv-
ed letter from Mr. Monahan, at Colum.
bus. inclosing the proposed constitution
al amendment. lie wrote to us that it
must be published at least six months
prior to the October election, and we
must issue an extra not later than Mon
day, the 9th, and that we would be paid
eighty cents per square for the first inser-
AiOht NNhAS NhGh
insertion. This would amount to over
5000, and would justify us in the expense g
OF getting out an extra. The men wLo
do the work in the Office had gone homo,
but we went after them, and got them 10
work, and on Saturday got out the extra
and mailed large portion of it.
Now let us suppose a case.
DR. Monahan is our family physician
Suppose we get our arm broken. We
know that the regular train has left Co

nifty is earnestly requested to take an
active part in this great work. to contri
butte something to the aid OF an object SO
praiseworthy.
The object 10 not SO much to display
artistic accomplishment as TO create in
the hearts Of all our people a living de
sire for a higher attainment in music
and literature, to instil in their minds a
greater love and esteem for these noble
and elevating arts. In the arrangement
of the programme the aim of the Associ.
alton was to furnish something for all
grades Of society in the county.
The success of the entertainment will
depend mainly upon the singers Ye:
by no means should the literary part be
ignored. Music and literature should
go hand in hand. However the burden
OF the present entertainment as arranged
for. rests principally upon the vocalists.
In every community there are those
who can sing. Let such persons unite
in choirs and take some part in this no
BILE work. If you can not form a choir
large enough to sing the grand choruses,
confine your efforts to the pieces requir-
ing less number.
Every Sabbath School that has been
accustomed to participate in the musical
part of our County Celebrations, can per
form Majesty" Pull for the Shore"
and other pieces with credit to them
selves and interest to spectators. In
deed, think there is hardly a commu-
nifty in the county that can not find
something on the programme within its
ability.
No society should stand aloof because
it feels unable to win some or even any
of the prizes. What though you should
win nothing, you will be benefited by

THE DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

When the extra session OF Congress
shall have met, the Democrats will have
an opportunity OF showing to the coun-
try whether they have been telling the
truth when they say they believe Hayes
was not honestly elected President. If
he is not honestly President, he has no
right to administer the government, and
his administration has no more right b
use the public money than Peter CooFer
has. IL has been the principal argupent
against Chamberlain and Packard. fthat
they could not collect taxes, and ftheir
State Governm ents would have to 4tarve
out II the Democratic majority in
Congress are not fools as well as raAcals,
they will not appropriate single doAar,
for any purpose. while Hayes acts as
President. He cannot complain, after
his action in the South Carolina and
Louisiana cases. The argument then
was, that State Governments which are
not able to sustain themselves, are not
fit to exist. Precisely the same rule
should apply to National Government
Ii will be said that the army should be
paid, but we fail to see any use for a
