Political lettings.

The recent election in Chicago proves,
says the Tribune, that the Germans have re-
turned to the Republican party in body
A LARGE meeting of colored voters Of
Columbus, Ohio, the other day, passed resolu-
tons approving of the Southern policy of
President Hayes.
IT is expected that proclamation will be
issued this week converting Congress on
June 4th. 1t is now manifested that great
deal Of business besides the army will need
to be transacted.
LET the President rest assured that in do
ing what is right for the country, and oppos
ing what is wrong in his party, he will gain
ten friends among the people for every
malcontent in his party.-New York Express
THE Presidents Southern policy is an ex-
pertinent. But the continuation of the old
policy unfortunately hasn't even that claim
to consideration. Instead of being an ex-
pertinent, il is demonstrated failure

WHATEVER may be thought of the wis
dom or temper of Mr. Blaine's assault on
the Presidents course, there is no question
that he expressed the actual disappointment
and irritation of a large Republican follow.

CLERK ADAMS, of the national House of
Representatives, has at last made up his list
of members, giving the democrats major
ity of twelve He does this by claiming
democrats wherever the matter is in doubt,
and, in some instances, where Republicans
hold certificates of election from the proper
state authorities.
THE anxiety of the New York Sun about
the Republican party is fairly pathetic. 1t
says "Now Mr.. Hayes turns his back on
the party which nominated him, and on the
men who put him into office. The recre-
ancy of Andrew johnson, though more VIC.

dangerous to the party or to the country as
that of Rutherford B. Hayes
JUsT how the Louisiana case is to be set
tied we shall not undertake to say, but that
it will be settled and that speedily, so far
as the federal administration is concerned,
we have no doubt whatever. The Presi.
dents policy has been adopted with deliber-
alton, aud it will not be put aside because
the Packard and Nichols parties refuse to
come to an agreement.-NeW York Euenng
Post.
WE believe that Mr.. Randall will take a
more enlarged view of things than in the
past that he will cooperate in every ra-
tional scheme of remedial legislation, and
that he will constitute the committees of
the house in manner the most propitious
to the welfare of the nation. With such
impressions, and we believe them to be well
founded, we shall not regret the reelection
of Mr.. Randall. Philadelphia Press.
"TnE result of the elections held in va.
rous parts of the North the last few days,
says the Louisville Courier journal dem },
does not substantiate such democratic
hopes as built themselves upon the notion OF
great popular reaction against the Elec.
toral Commission. There has been no reac.
ton at all" The inference, in the opinion
of the Courier Journal, is that the people
have become tired of political discord aud
are inclined to give President Hayes con.
ciliatory policy fair trial The Courie,
journal is right.
