Washington Letter.
WAsH1NeroN. d. c. Mar. 8, 1877.

The SITUATION The Democrats
have accepted the unlock ed for deliv-
erance from the discord which he's
been systematically created by the
GRANTEES for party purposes, with de-
vout gratitude, and without carping
at the instrumentality by which it has
been brought about. How Gov. Hayes
satisfies his conscience to accept Office
from the foul hands by whose agency
Grant conferred IL upon him is no con-
Germ of the Democrats. They do not
make themselves responsible for it by
supporting him in every just measure.
But self-respect and public policy alike
forbid them from accepting Office un-
der him. The Democrats can best ad-
vance Hayes Southern policy by
making no ehtangling alliances, but
holding tho President. to, strict ac-.
countability. ii:a bsnaqo nav
Senator Sherman, who was con,
tirmed by the Senate yesterday as the
Secretary of the Treasury by very
ssmall majority, owes his success to the
Democrats. as his own party opposed
him bitterly Had all the Democratic
I Senators voted against him he would
have been rejected. -ss 14i14- ,bgjngo
