GOVERNOR HAYES SOUTHERN POLICY

The presidential succession having been
settled, the question of most interesi
is, What will be the southern policy OF
the incoming administration Beside this
question, that of civil service reform and
OF an early return to specie payments are
OF minor consequence. In Its right decision
is involved the peace of the country, good
government, o pure administration, and,
to a great extent, civil service reform.
With g hearty union between the two sec
tions of the country, the question OF civil
service reform will give but little trouble
"A wise, independent, firm and fearless
executive can work it out and command
the ascent of the country. Without south
ern pacifcation, nc effort looking toward a
reform in the civil service will be of more
than temporary avail. Specie payments
must, In a measure, take care of itself. An
executive, however wise, is powerless OF
himself. He cannot act without necessary
legislation on the part of congress. With
congress the responsibility rests whether
specie payments shall be resumed, or
whether the country shall drift helplessly,
almost hopelessly, along as it has for q de-
cade of years.
The matter of a southern policy is al
most, if not wholly, in the hands of the
president. Fortunately, Governor Hayes
has not left us in the dark as to his policy.
In his letter of acceptance. he says that the
first necessity" of the southern states
is an intelligent and honest administration
OF government which will protect all
classes of citizens in all their political
and private rights. Surely such carpet
bag governments as have oppressed the peo-
pie of Louisiana, South Carolina and other
of the southern states, and have disgraced
the country, as well as civilization, are no,
intelligent and honest administrations .
With the example of Arkansas before him;
with the condition Of that state and her
people under carpet bag governments sus-
tanned by military force, contrasted with
the same state and people under a govern
ment of her own choice and sustained by
the popular will instead of federal bay
onets, President Hayes will not long hest
tate TO decide what the ''6rst necessity" OF
these southern states is. With General
q and what a change there has bet n
In lis opinions in two years-he thinks the
entire people are tired of the military
being employed to sustain a state govern
ment. Ii a republican state government
cannot sustain itself, then 1t will have TO
give away" And to this all of the peo-
pie, carpet baggers excepted, will with one
accord respond, "amen."
Further along, in his letter OF accent.
ance, he says that "a division Of political
"parties, resting merely upon distinctions
"of race, or upon sectional lines, is al.
ways unfortunate and may be die
astrous." After stating that the welfare
of the south depends upon the attractions

The Best Hand Wins.

On Monday morning q stranger entered
the Middlesex street depot in Lowell with
a two gallon jug in his hand, and, after
looking the bystanders over, came to the
conclusion they were all honest, and set his
jug of whisky down. He asked the depot
master, Mr.. Brigham, if it would be safe
there, and he was informed that he had
better put q tag on it. The stranger
searched his pockets and finally found the
deuce of clubs, which he used as the tag
necessary for security. He then stepped
out for a few moments, and during his alb
'ence three thirsty fellows came along, and
acting on the principle that a tray beats
he deuce, claimed the trick, took the jug
and departed, and when the owner re-
turned he was convinced that he had been
euchred.

Mr.. Edmunds has left a wife, several
children and and grandchildren, who arc
in some degree comforted with the assur-
ance that his spiritual influence will, as
heretofore, guide and direct them in the
way of right.
He has ever had the entire confidence OF
his towns people, and has been honored
with nearly every office in their gift. Be-
Ing kind and indulgent, he was much re-
spected by his acquaintance everywhere.
As a legislator he always opposed class
legislation and m~onopolies of every species.
The weak, invariably, went to him for pro-
lection when oppressed by the strong.
When the enemies of human advance

e The supreme court, at Woodstock, Tues
day, heard arguments on the exceptions of
the respondent, Henry Gravelin, convicted
at the December term Of the county court
of the murder of Herbert G. White. The
state offered in evidence, as tending to show
q motive for the murder, the indictment
found against Gravelin at the December
term, 1875, for defacing the buildings of
his neighbor Weston, and which was based
in part upon the testimony Of White. To
this the respondent excepted. and alao to
the refusal of the court to admit photo
graphs showing the appearance of the
blood corpuscles of different animals.
Joined in the hearing is a motion for a new
trial on the ground that one of the grand
jury which found the murder indictment,
and two of the petit jurors who tried the
case, all from the town of Chester, were
deawn by an unauthorized person and not
by the sheriff or his deputy, as the law di-
reefs, although it is conceded that the per-
son who drew the jurymen was verbally
requested to do SO by the sheriff. The de-
cision of the court will be rendered at the
close of the term.

The Fate Of Fields Bill Scaled.

Democrats say that if Dudley Fields bill
passes the senate, Hayes will never be
president. 1t was the purpose of the DEM
ocrats managing the bill to have it referred
in the senate to the committee on the Judi
ciary. On the committee Conkling stands
second, and, during tho absence of Ed
munds on the electoral commission, is act
ing chairman. They had confidently hoped
that a favorable report on the bill might
be obtained from this committee, but the
opponents Of the bill were not caught nap
ping. Directly 1t was received at the sen-
ate, a motion was made to refer it TO the
committee on privileges and elections. No
serious or proper parliamentary objections
could be made to such a reference, as IT had
come from the committee on %prerogatives
and privileges in the house. Accordingly,
it was sent to the committee. Morton is
chairman and Logan second, and, in Nor
toms absence on the electoral commission,
acting chairman. A glance at this COM
mittee indicates how forlorn the task of
David Dudley Field is to receive a report
from it upon anything likely to injure the
chances of Governor Hayes. Morton of

Herman of New York, Christiapcy of
Michigan, Keller of Colorado, and McDon-
aid of Indiana, the committee, ia evidently
a nurse which cares not for the bill, and it
certainly will not be reported from that
committee, unless by some astounding
chance it happened in the closing bours of
the session of March 8 that Hayes cannot
be inaugurated, and some temporary ex-
pedient is necessary.

Senator Conkling's Position,

In asserting that Senator Conkling was
engaged in any sort of combination to de-
feat the presidential count to further his
ambition at the expense of his party, by
seeking an alliance with the democrats, he
has been slandered for come purposes as
yet unknown. Conkling himself author
ICES the statement that the whole affair is
an unmitigated, malignant and malicious
f~alsehood, SO far as he is concerned, and
that there is, he believes, nothing in any
part of the story.

worth having-except, perhaps, for the

ia large enough to require the whole services

no further complaints of interference in
local politics, and not much danger of de.

Mr.. EDITOR II noticed in your pa
per of Nov. S'h, 1877, q notice Of the
closing of the Campbellsport Sabbath
| School, aud the presentation of beau
tiful Office chair.
There is asequel to that presentation
of another kind which have not seen
published, which commenced about
Oct. 10Th, 1877. and lasted for several
days. By the request of Mr.. Seymour
Strong. of Edinburgh, his creditors
presented their notes and got paid off
in mahogany-top sheep at beautiful
prices ranging from to 30 dollars
per head, worth from 81 to 81 and
other property in the same proportion,
and the fun of it is that ali of his prop
erty he claimed to be under a chattel
mortgage, but he could dispose of il
at such prices If his creditors had
mind to take them at such or take
nothing. Such were his terms. Well,
now, he may be good professor,
(Which undoubtedly he isl but is he
professor of what he attempts to teach.
He may be a good man but as tho old
darkey said, 81 love the white folks
for loying me, but love myself the

There will probably be great many
that will miss him and shed tear or
two because he is going to leave the
state, but there are many more who
would have been equally as glad if he
lad left the state years ago.

How to Ju dgc n Town. +.

The Jefferson City (Mo.) Journal
tells the following:
About q week ago, q gentleman, q
Tennesseean, representing a capital OF
0,OOO, in search Of a location at which
to engage in business, gave us a call,
and,after stating his mission West,
asked to look at our paper. We hand
ed him the morning Journal. To our
surprise he did not stop to read our
newsy local pick ups or our attrac
tive editorial page. but turned at once
to the advertising columns and CON-
menced counting over their space.
'Well,' said he, glanciug up, Il, that
all? Is that all the business OF this
town!
oh no. said we, 'here is theTribune
with few advertisements that do not
appear in the Journal
He then counted two additional 10.
cal business advertisements in theTri.
bune and again looked up with the
remark:
And that is all is itV Why you
haven't got near as much of a town
here as l thought you had.' And then
we explained to him that we had a
great many business men who do not
advertise.
They are not business men TO hurt
If they don't advertise was his answer.
We could not contradict him and
were powerleas to vindicaIe the claims
of the city. He left US, ssyin if he had
time he would look around, but thought
this was no place for him.

The New Disciple Church.

The new Disciple Church, on Pros
pect street, was dedicated Oh Sunday
last with appropriate ceremonies. The
house was filed OH the occasion to it's
utmost capacity, and many we're com
PEELED to depart for the want of even
standing room in the church.
This is the finest church in the
county aud attracts the attention and
receives the admiration of all who
have visited it. The design is the
work OF Mr.. Charles Baldwin, young
architect of our town, who has had
charge Of the work of reconstruction,
and right well has it been done. The
building 10 elegant both in its external
and intei nal construction and in all iss
arrangements it is complete. 1t is
elegantly carpeted and seated and
comfortably warmed by two furnaces
in the basement. The lighting is most
admirable, and could not be bettered.
1t consists of two elegant chandeliers
with twelve gas jets each, two lights
each side OF the rostrum, two at the
singers seats aud two in the gallery,
aud when the gas Is turned on the au-
ditorium is as light as day. This part
of the work exhibits the skill of Mr..
Thomas Dunmore, our village gas filter
and is well and acceptably done.
The Disciples of Revenna are to be
that they have 80 large,
and elegant a house of
worship, and still more upon the fact
that it is unincumbered by debt, the
payment of which is not fully provided
for, as at the close of the morning and
evening exercises on Sunday an ap-
peal was made to tho audience for
funds TO wipe out all encumbrance
upon the building, which was gener-
ously responded to, and an amount
pledged amply sufficient for the pur.
pose.
