Carolina. There is no room longer to doubt
that this will be the result worked out
peaceably by the President, and by the in
telligent, earnest people ofthose States.
MERRIAM Mercury
the Democrats in the House who suffer
ed Hayes to be counted in a President hav.
ing the power to prevent, had understood
that the bargain they made inclu led a tcdtt-
ina to find out condition of aff dir" 10 JUS
tify removal, think you they would have
struck the bargain ut all? Prepostcrous
Like blind horse now, Hayes is stumbling
over broken pledges at every step.
Choctaw Leader
The South has weathcred the gale o: OPP
pre- sion So far. which has been hurled upon
them by the purtanical element of the
North. and the hands of the Democratic
party are uusoicd by public pnnder, and
Ia il remain so II Mr.. Hayes is sincere IN
his Southern policy he will, we hope, have
courage enough to carry It out, but before
the Dam ncratic party, or any part OF IL,
rushes irautically into the lions jaws, as
our Southern Congressman did, let us, by
all means, have some little insurance OF the
Presidents good Intentions. We can lose
nothing by waiting.
ENTERPRISE Courier.
Let the canvass begin in July or August,
then with a good ticket in the field, and
thoaough organic alton, we need have no
fears that IsadicaliSm will triumph. Missis-
sippi will give as large majority for the
State ticket in November next As she did for
Samuel j. Tilden.
Lexington Advertiser.l
1t is our candid opinion that Mr.. Hayes
had olly two policies, the first Of which
was To get into the Presidency, and to that
end he was willing for his friends To make
any bargains they saw tit To make, which
bargain he would not scIupie to say was
unaurhoriz.d, whenever it suited him To 80
declare; aud the other is to let matters
alone aW lille, gain all he can by his procras
tiuation commission, and then to be govern
ed by circumstances.
Hlud,boro Democrat.
The scallawags OF this State are ''sctting"
for Pr, sident Hayes. They expect To cap
turc some fat positions from him. Some
that we know will be disappointed.
Iazoo Herald Democrat
Hayes p ,licy is not particularly pleasing
either to the North or the South. 1t may
be rcseJnbed to Fanny Ellsler's ballet dress
which was too long for one part of the au
dience and too short for the other,
Kinds County Gaa tie.
1t is matter ofhonest pride and satis-
faction with many of our people, that while
Kinds is one OF the heaviest voting and
largest tax paying counties in the State,
and gives about the heaviest Democratic
majority, she presents no candidate Dor a
place on the State ticket, and 1t is not likely
that her sister counties will force nomina-
;Ion upon any one of her citizens.
Port Gibson Reveille.l
The much-ab;Iscd Northern Democracy
set US an example worthy of emulation.
Hopeless, for example, as is the condition
of the Vermont Democracy, they have for
30 years rallied, and rallied again. faithful
to the ballot box "as spIing to he's season."

them, and yet they vOte-vote upon princi-
pie,

Let us still keepup our organization and

What hope l. thoro nor the future Of a
Republic when every issue decided by the

depths OF degradation, W hen the Ba,gofng

Vicksburg Herald
The great Commission IL only an agent
to barter and dicker az last We were in
formed that thaI they went to New Orleans
to act as statesmen, We find that they went
to engage in political intrigue. While this
intrigue is going on, all the great interests
of Louisiana and we may say OF the whole
are allowed to suffer. Shame on
such work.
