TIE POLITICAL SITUATION.


its diplomacy with this domestic enemy Is a
national misfortune. Really the best thing
President Hayes can DO is To confess that
he is rot de jure President, make practical
abdication of his Office by dismissinG his
present heads of departments, and, after the
constitutional fashion established now In
En- gland, appointing 9th rs 10 be selrc" d
for him by the Democratic majority OF our
American House OF Commons.

The experiment which Hayes has made
shows that there are men i'm the South who

Til den has been swiadlrd out of the Prcsi-

the South justice, ana yield 10 the demand
which the Northern Democrats have made
for ten years. that the bayonetS be removed
from the throats of the Southern people that
is no reason why Southern Democrats should
desert their old friends and commence bar
tering and trading with new converts.

Mr. II ayes is un lertakiny to do justice by

New Orleans Picayune
IfMr. Hayes made any bargain alfectiG 9
| the Louisiana case, at the ii II of his inaugII-
ration, he has not yet discharged his part
of the obligation. Weeks have passed since
he went into Office, and yet lie has rather
receded than advanced from the last posi-
| ton of his predecessor He has nothing
| touching the status q't0. Thus far Matthews
an Hayes have served as brilliant illust-a-
tions of the scieace of getting something Tor
nothing. The long delay lays foundation
for the suspicion of duplioity AMI adds
plausibility to the announcement that the
President will try to secure the organic l.
ton of the House before he puts his policy
and pledges into practical operation.

The Hayes Republicans of the North are
just now very conciliatory and pleasant in
their honeyed utterances to the Southern
whites. They appeal to them to reflect ANA
consider whether their true interests DO not
lie in the direction OF coalition with the
better elements of the Republican party.
All til 1t we have to say to them at the pres
ent tim. l., thai the dilltorincss and tim idi-
sion in settling the Louisiana question, are
not calculated to inspire any alarming
amount of confidence and enthusi ism in the
South.
ST. Louis Republican ]
When Southern Democrats forget the war
which the Republican party has wagcd o.
them and theirs for twenty years past, then
and not before-will they abandon their
Northern allies and affiliate with their enc
mics.

The proposition to 'rcorganizt n Lcgisla-
turc" composed of members which ''both
sides coucedc to be elected" is in effect a
proposition to allow the supporters of the
Returning Board fraud to take advantage
of their own wrong, and to place n
number Of Conservative mem bers, who
have been actually elected w the People,
and whose title has been fraudulently de-
MED, at the mercy of partisan maj Drity
Y. Y. SUM-
The sharp managers who directed the ac-
ton of the Electoral Com mission, and got "A
snap Judgment by which Fraudulent
President was put in the White House, have
sought to make Il bargain by which The or
ganizAtion of the new House of Representa-
tives might be captured. Indeed, the two
schemes Of counting in Hayes and clccting
a Speaker fashioned after his model formed
practically but one plan.

The roll OF the next House of Representa-
tives, as prepared 10y the Clerk, Mr.. Adams,
is not salts factory to the henchmen o: the
Fraudulent President. 1t was all i'm portant
to his policy of bargain gnG sale that the
Democratic majority should be reduced to
the narrOwest margin. Mr.. Adams has dis
appointed that hope, and hence these tears
Yazoo Herald Democrat
There is no banner yet unfurled to the

other has defended our cause from the time
we laid down our arms.
