POLITICAL NOTES.

Did any one during the count Of the cleo
tora vote sell short the Southern policy of the Ad
| minstrationf
1t is beginning to dawn upon the intelli-
gence OF some political potters that President Hayes is
composed of very refractory article ofclay.

An impartial President, according to the
Democratic conception, is who, in regard 70 the
Southern question and every other question: does ex.
acy what Democrats demand Of him, does II precisely

always hazardous proceeding. But signing promise
