TranquiiizIn1 the south and Coneiiiuting the
Hon. Eli Perkins.

ATLANTA, Ga. March ia great rcNOlu-
ton has boon going ON in the South for the last
wook. Tho appointment Of such mon ~ Mr.
Eyart- and Col. Key in the Cabinet has certainly
tunduililed the South They feel now that they
have a friend at court. They feel that with an
old rebel soldier in TIE Cabinet thcre will always
De one present To- represent their interests.
A week ago ami every Democrat in the South
was cursing Pr -iicnt Hayes. The hatred for
senator Morton. ex-senator Chandler. senator
Cameron. and senator Blaine here in the South
is something that cannot De- des ribcd. Before
the inaugural they all thought that President
Hayes. though having a kind heart would be
managed entirely by the old politicians. Now.
when they see him really come out and carry
out conciliatory policy and back 1t up by APP
pointing Col. KY in the Cab.net.a broad smile
ripple, all over the face " the South.
| have addressed audiences in six cities in
Tennessee and kentu'S within the last tn
days and everywhere that the name Of Hayes
has been mentioned the audience has inter
rIpted with prolonged cheers. OF course there
are old pot-housc politicians AMI some un-
patriotic young ladies who abuse the North and
abuse President Hayes because he lives there
They will reject any policy on the ground that
no good can come out of Nazareth" But the
young working hearts of the South feel warmer
toward Hayes and the North than ut any time
before since the war.
What will completely win the South back?'
asked an old resident in stevenson. Alabama.

The Rn..inn Communal system.

At this time problem, only second in i'm
portance TO the Acknowledgement Of the scrfs.
Is giving rise to earnest discussion through
ont Russia. \ commission of inquiry,
charged with the examination Of the pecu-
liar forms Of collective land tenure which
obtain in large part Of the empire has
recommended the summary abolition Of the
communal system The execution Of such
measure seems impracticablc; but consider
ing tho relation of the question t. the de-
vclopment Of that country. as well as 10 the
schemes and aspirations Of social rciUrncrs
in general, il l. worth while 10 mark what il
said for and against the existing Institutions,
and how far they have been affected by the
manumis-ion Of the peasant class.
1t j. a curious fact that the collective own
cr-hp Of real property in the rural COM
munltins, which is the most salient feature
Of Mu,covito society, was one oi the last TO
attract notice at home or abroad. Indeed,
the visit Of Baron HAXIHAUsES about thirty
years ago may hc SAID to have revealed it
TO western Europe. 1t Is now known that
this species Of tenure, in which Sl1vuphlo-
have chosen to sec the Distinctive, phi
mordial out.rowth Of the Russian ma
tion AMI the formula of a new civiliAa-
tion, is the survival of an institution once

The Last of secor Robson.

We are not surprised that SrcoR robson
spoke very fcclngly when, on Wednesday,
he parted with his old suborlinatcs u the
Navy Department. He was giving up a
place which has been very profitable t. him,
and was taking last farewell Of public Off
cial station. Whatever happens to SEcoR
robson hereafter, oi this we may be tolcr-
ably ceriain-he will never again occupy a
seat in any Cabinet at Washington, or hold
any high Office in the gilt Of the people. H.

nftcrward permitted this man to go on pill

SEcoR claim, rotten job, against which Mr..

against which Congress had passed an OK
press statute and which SEcOR robson
paid in direct and fragrant violation OF law.
That transaction alone, which THE Sun at
the time exposed in all its parts, leaving no
room to doubt its dishonesty, which Mr..
WELLEs stigmatzcd a. an outrage and n

The First Practical Triumph of the Re-
beiliOn.

The first practical triumph of the Rebel
lion now bids fair to be achieved under the
administration OF Mr.. HAYES. What the
rebels failed to accomplish by force Of arms,
they are about to initiate by a cunning ar
rangcment in the Post Office Department, at
the head of which former rebel officer has
been placed. The old scheme of JONI c.
CALHOUN to establish Il dual Government
as the first and fatal step in the direction of
an ultimate separation, has been revived
and is TO be applied to one of the depart
ments possessing the most extensive power
and patronage. We are to have, in effect, u
Dul Post O0icc Department.
We make this statement on the authority
OF the ablest Republican paper in the coun-
try, the Nclc York Times The following Is
an extract from special despatch from
Washington which was published in that
journal yesterday morning:

So We are to have, substantially, two POST
mastcr-Gcncral-, one for the North and one
for the South, one for the loyal states and
the other for the rebel statcsl Although
these two Postmnstcrs occupy apartments
under the same roof, yet their powers and
duties are to be almost as distinct and sep
aratc as if one were Postmaster under the
Confederate Government, Of which he was
an adhcrent, and the other Postmaster under
the old Nag. which he never pulled downl
Ii the plan works successfully, a. applied
t. this important department. We may cx-
poet to see it next introduced into the War
and Navy departments; and. ultimately.
who knows that the original project Of the
great Nullilicr and Seccssioni7t. JOHN c.
CALHOUN, Of a Dual Presidency, may not be
insisted upon as q measure Of peace de-
manded by the distracted South?
We have Just one comment to make II
SAMUEL ]. TILDES had been inauguratcl as
President, and If this same experiment had
been intcrlopcd under him, he would have
been impeached as soon as articles could be
preferred against him.
The country cannot regard with indiiIer-
ence this significant innovation. With tho
very first introduction Of q rebel into the
Cabinet, We witness the introduction of rebc
principles and projects also.
