... WASHINGTON, June II, 1877.
Cincinnati often puts in an appear
ance in the city in the person of some
one OF her many "tayorite sons" The
latest arrival is that of the
HON. STANLEY MATTHEWS,
whom some claim to be the handspring
OF the 2 esidenps policy. On dit that the
President dislikes to have il spoken of
as "his policy" Hayes policy" etc.
He says it is not the policy of any man,
but it Is the true policy Of right aud JUS
tlce, and that he is simply enforcing it.
Well, perhaps that is the best way TO
put 1t; but no matter how we speak of it,
we can all agree that it is mighty good
policy and we want mnre of it.
WHEREFORE?
What does the Hon. Stanley Matthews
want this time? is now the question,
Perhaps 1t is none of our business. but
SO long as the new OIio Senator is a
public man he must expect to have his
steps shadowed and his business looked
alter-by correspondents.
We presume he is here in the inter-
est of the 'Southsrn Policy" lie has a
double reason to wish success to the
Policy. First, because he thinks it is
right per sc; secondly, because if that
policy succeeds, Mr.. Matthews will sue
ceed.-0imself tor the long term in the
fails, Ohio will elect Il d mocratic l. egis.
lature and set MIR. Matthews aside, .
RISING STAR.
On dit that new aspirant for Sena-
torial h0nors is looming up in Ohio. on
the Democratic side. I'VE refer to Hon.
Fra"k Hurd. of Toledo, the man who led
the ONO representation in Congress- i'm
It's efforts to tilllbuster against the count
ing III OF Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Hur.'s friends
here say he is jolly good fellow, and
ought to have the piace-provlded al
ways the Assembly is Democratic. That
depends pretty much on Hamilton Coun-
ty, you know. So Mr. Matthews will
have the fight III his own county, which
makes 1t All the m>re interesting.
COLONEL JACK WHARTON.
ProbaDl! no appulntmenL made BY MIR,
Hayes since his inauguration has pro.
yoked more criticism than his appoint
ment OF Colonel Jack Wharton to be
Marshal OF L:usiana in place of Pitkin,
removed. P!tklh>s .riends are very Bit
ter, and the Rel ubIican organ here, the
National Republican,, is down heavy on
wharton, cla ming MS appointment was
a mis- take, etc. The Truth is, the re.
moval Of Pitkin and the ub,titution of
Wharton seemed necessary in order to
complete the pac tication of Louisiana,
Wharton IL enurely acceptable to the
Nichols men, and az ;he same time he is
popular wItn large wing vi the Pack
ard party. So tina, alter all, il is diff
cult to see what thele is to censure the
Pre- siuent for, Weare inclined To think
that most Of the outcry is from Pitkin's
friends.
DANA RINGS THE BILL.
There Is great satlsIuuL.vu here over
the fact That Hon. AluHzO B.l Assls.-
ant Secretary OF tue Iuteriur. Ias smell
Dana, OF the New York sun, lor his al
legged iibels on Bel, in charging that
Bell had been discharged from the
Treasury Department for lncompelency.
ana that Bell nad kept his VIE drawing
salary Tor doing nothing, etc. The
papers were served on Dana on Satur-
day, and the damage AIMED is put at
$780, Dana hus lew friends mere, and
Ills enemies would h0ld high carnival to
see him mu,ct in a heavy sum.
