WAsHINdToN, March 2l.-The hypocrisy of
the Administration OF Returning Board Hayes
in dealing with the Louisiana case was clearly
shown by the action Of his Cabinet Yesterday
and to-day. For two long and anxious weeks
the representatives Of tho Conservative party in
Louisiana and South Carolina have been hold
ing almost daily interviews with Hayes and his
Cabinet. They have been promised everything,
but at the same time have been exhorted to be
patient and coniding. They have been all
this, and moro. Indccd. thoy have almost lost
their manhood in their anxiety to secure some
thing like justice for their poor suffering people
They wero willing to agrcc w almost any terms,
save to barter outright their own honor and
that Of the people they represented. They lis
tened impaticntly. II is true. but still without
exhibiting their disgust. to the propositions OF
barter and trade, coming through Stanley Mat
thews, Charley Foster. and other iobbers and
schemers who were anxious TO build up an Adj
ministration party Mt the South for their benefit.
and now they find that tho platitudcs and
gencrnlitics in Inycs's inaugural. and the fine
promises In his private letters to Fos-
ter, written TO be shown to Southern
Democrats. really meant nothing and
were only Intended to deude them. With the
meaningless speech 10 his Cabinet about HIS
southern policy, and. when he concluded. a res

still. Hayes. with all his talk about being ama-
bly, obstnntc, with all his decarations Of firm
ness, yielded aud allowed the bloody Shirt poll
ticians with sherman at the head to dictate his
| policy-unanimOu-ly upon the main issue. and
hy q vote Of four to three sherman. Thompson.
and kcyl on all subsidiary questions.
