SOME men have said, in regard to
the policy of President Hayes, ''How
viii you get back, if his policy is not
received! ! What will you do?" They
do not seem to realize that there is
no place to get back to. 1t is ike a
plain offer of good on the part of
government, and if the offer is re-
iected the government is not changed
or hurt. The only party who re-
ceives injury is the party who rejects
the offer of Cancellation and trust.

THrRR is an effort being made i,

THERE is an effort being made in
Louisiana to bring the late Return
ing Board of that State into court,
on the charge of having issued fraud
ulent election returns, and number
Of Democratic writer's are quite ju-
bilant over the matter, expressing a
deep desire that the Board be taken
into an ex rebel court and there pun
ished Through these courts they
expec. to make out case against the
Board that will answer as the enter
ing wedge for prosecution against
Hayes.
The movement is q short-sighted
one.
1t is short-sighted, for it will not
reach Hayes, even if they succeed
in convicting the Board through the
aid of false testimony and packed
juries, for the Democratic party was
not satisfied with the count of num-
ber of States, and would be satisfied
with no settlement but such as was
agreed to by Congress in bill that
created the Electoral Commission,
and the Electoral Commission de-
clared Hayes elected
1t is short-sighted, for if they sue
ceed in convicting the Board after
having secured all the Offices they
desired but the Office of President, it
will open the eyes of the world to the
fact that there opponents are to be
punished. The fact will be made
clear as MONDAY that just as soon as
they get the power they will turn the
tables on the men who put down re
bellion, and restore the old order of
affairs.
Once such purpose becomes clear
to the public mind, sad and bitter
change will take place in the affairs
of the men of the South they will
be swept as never before, and such
roots as are left viii not have strength
enough to take care Of themselves !;
they will have other things to think
of than to shape the destiny of
nation The day of wrath will then
begin.
