the methods adopted are not suhvcr-
sive Of the principles underlying The war
for national existence, and do not jcor-
ardiZe the substantial fruits of victory
attained at such incalculabic cost, they
should provoke but little discussion.
President HAYES challenges the conf
dcnce of the country hv his honesty of
character and undeuiable sincerity of
purpose, and we believe the result of
his proposed policy towards the South
will display equal Judgment and sagac
itv. Stated briefly, the hope of the
President is to break down the color
line in the Southern States, by the com
plete protection of all citizens in the
free ENJOYMENT Of all their constitu-
tional rights" This policy was unmis-
takablv foreshadowed in his letter Of
acceptance. THE moral and material
prosperity Of the Southern States can
abe most cilectuallv advanced by a
hearty and generous recognition of
1.-THE rights of all by ala recognition
without reserve or exception" Ac-
cepting these declarations as evidence
of the object sought to be attained, it
is noticeable that the methods to be
adopted are predicatod upon the une-
uuivocal recognition by the Southern
whites of the fullest and completcst
civil and religious freedom, secured to
the freedmen of the South, through the
amendment to the Constitution, and the
laws passed by Congress to secure their
enforcement In other words, PreSi-
dent HAYES recognizes the fact that the
be exercised to secure the right of peace
able citizenship to the white and black
man alike, leaving all other questions
of political character to be determined
by the legally expressed will of the peo-
pie of the different disturbed States
That President Hayes is actuated by
the highest and most patriotic motives
no reasonable man can doubt, and he is
indeed a ptiable partisan who with
holds his sympathy in the consum-
nation of an end so desirable as the
restoration of permanent peace and or
der to localities recently the theaters of
scenes alike disgraeeful to humanity and
civilization

THE PRESIDENTS SOUTHERN POLICY

1t must be apparent to every intelli-
gent observer, that the course indicated
by President Hayes with reference to
Southern politics, must have incalcula-
hle influence upon the future of the
Republican party. Whatever may be
its final result, whether Of success or
of failure, one fact is certain, that the
nation at large sustains the policy
which the President has announced,
and will accord him all the moral sup
port he may require, in applying to his
views the severe test of actual and judi
cious experiment. 1t is true that there
is considerable element of the Rcpub-
lcan party to which the mere idea Of
concession is distasteful Who regard
the disposition Of the President to con-
cliate the South, by according it rep
resentative in his Cabinet, as an equiro-
cal method to conciliate his political
enemies at the expense of his political
friends, and who view with suspicion a
policy that places power in the hands
of men who have but recently BETRAYED
the most solemn governmental trusts.
Making reasonable allowance however,
for every objection to the Presidents
policy, so far as he has indicated it, it
still must commend itself to the final
acceptance Of all with whom patriot
ism is higher motive than party
Besides, it must seem to be ample time
to criticse it when it is more specifi-
cally announced and more definitely
indicated. Our present knowledge of
it does not extend beyond the announce
ment Of the leading or cardinal ideas of
the President in his determination to
adopt more generous methods in deal
ing with the South. Indeed, so long as

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The system of civil service, proposed
by President Hayes, promises to be
thorough and effective He is very
earnest in referenc to it, and his efforts
will be directed to bring about such
reforms as he indicated in his inaugural
address. This embraces thorough
reform, not merely Of certain abuses
and practices of official patronage, which
have obtained the sanction of usage in
the several departments of the Govern
ment, but contemplates a change in the
system of appointment itself; a reform
that shall be thorough and radical, a
return to the principles and practices
of the founders of the Government. 1t
can be confidently stated then that it is
the fixed purpose of the President, so
far as practicable, to carry out to the
letter the utterances of his letter of
acceptance. Appointments will not be
made merely for partisan services, nor
will Congressman he regarded as hav-
ing an inherent right to control them
The action of the Cabinet, on Tuesday,
with reference to this subject indicates
the practical system contemplated
General rules for the government of
appointments were discussed. The
most important one was that Congress
men shall not dictate appointments as
rewards for personal services. Their
recommendations will be duly consid-
ered but such Endorsements will not lie
final and will not be held as binding
upon the President In order to give
shape to the policy to be pursued in
making appointments, three members Of
the Cabinet We're requested to draft
general rules, to be reported at an early
dav 1t is designed to make these rules
so comprehensive, that all cases may be
determined under them As soon as
they are perfected, they will be made
public, so that those seeking places
under the Government may know the
precise course of procedure to be fol-
lowed. 1t is generally understood at
Washington that, until the details Of
the system shall be fully arranged, no
new appointments to Office will be made,
except where vacancies occur by expira-
tion of commissions

which will not only give satisfaction to
the people, but also disarm the crit-
cism Of Republicans who were disposed
to take exception to the appointment to
Cabinet position of an Independent
Southern Democrat. Changes will not
be made in the postal service, except for
cause, and the efficiency and character
of applicants for appointments will be
rigdly inquired into. AS he was placed
in the Cabinet to represent the South,
he will endeavor to make such appoint
ments as will be calculated to conciliate
all conflicting local interests.

MORE MEN have been financially
ruined by becoming security for others

q wrong one, and it should be abolished
No man should be required or solicited
to make himself liable for the obliga-
tion of another in which he has not a
moneyed interest. That he should do
so is not business. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple and disastrous in practice 1t

WHY ADVERTISED People sometimes
ask why does DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. I. spend so much money in advertising
his family medicines, which are so well
known aud surpasS all other remedies IN
popularity and sale 1t is well known
that \. T. Steward consider ed it good
policy, and undoubtedly it payed him, tn
spend many thousand dollars in advertising
his goods, yet nobody questioned the ex-
cellence of his merchandise. The grand
secret of success lies in offering only goods
which possess merit to sustain themselves,
and then through liberal and persistent
advertising making the people thorougly
acquainted with their good qualities. Men
do not succeed in amassng great fortunes,
establishing thriving and permanent bust
ness, and founding substantial Institutions
like DIR. Perce's $ Grand lnvalids' Hotel at
Buffalo, which cost over two hundred
thousand dollars, unless their business be
legitimate, their goods meritorious, and
their services which they render the people
genuine and valuable. DR.. Pierce does
not attempt to humhng you by telling you
'hat his Golden Medical Discovery will
cure all diseases. He says, "ii your lungs
are half wasted by consumption, my Dis
ccvery will not cure you, yet as a remedy
Tor severe coughs. and all curable bronchial
throat, and lung attectans, | believe it to
be unsurpassed as a remedy The people
have confidence in his medicines because
lie does not owe recommend them, and when
tried they give satisfaction. His Medical
Adviser, book of over nine hundred
pages, illustrated by two bundled and
eighty-two engravings and bound in cloth
and gilt, is offered to the people at so
moderate price $l.50, postpaid, that it is

"STAND by the President seems to
be standing editorial head in the Re
publican newspapers. There is one
great duty at the present time for every
citizen. 1t is to stand by the Presi-
dent. Every word of his yet spoken,
every act of his yet done, demands tie
cordial and earnest favor of patriotic
men of every party. He has started
right and started bravely. He has ex-
ercised in the selection Of his Cabinet
only the proper prerogative of his Of

of any gentleman named for the head

AFTER all, it seems that the wars
among the Republican Senators, the
differences and disagreements, and ieal-
ousies and rivalries, the fierce antagon-
ism and mischief to pay generally, were
the work of newspaper correspondents,

respondent who can kick up the most
dust and keep it up the longest, like
the jugger tossing balls in circus, is
the smartest fellow.

THE voice of the American people
has no uncertain sound in its commenda-
tion Of the conciliatory policy of Presi-
dent Hayes. If any one doubts the
power of that voice, as expressed
through the journals of the country,
let him look at the sudden collapse of
the Senate's opposition to the Cabinet
appointments. Not until they have the
most positive and convincing proof of
the impracticablity Of the pacific plans
of the President, will they question the

WASHINGTON CORRESPON DENCE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10, 1877.
DEAR WrIG:-YeSterday being Sunday,
the political horizon indicated very little
that might be considered startling or of
unusual interest. Newspaper Row seemed
deserted, and in the hotels was noticed an
absence of the busy throng of political gos-
sips that usually crowd the corridors. Al
together people are satisfied. The great
contest is ended, and the ardor of puhlic
interest has correspondingly moderated.
Everybody regards the outlook as favorable,
and whatever agitation there is now in
public attention seems consequent on the
future Southern policy of President Hayes.
Just what that policy will be ha. engrossed
the minds OF people for some time, until
now, when all other things of Importance
appear settled, the one question is, what
Will be done regarding Louisiana and South
Carolina? Conjecture is wild and rumor
frantic over what somebody says somebody
else thinks, but all seem to agree upon the
idea that the manner of treating the gov
ernments of the two States will receive the
early attention of President Hayes.
The general impression is that the Senate
will adjourn within the next ten days, with
oSt taking any action upon the South Caro-
lima or Louisiana contestants leaving the
President free to act without the least
embarrassment. Should. however, the Sen
ate change its mind and decide to consider
the matter in question, the probabilities are
that the present session will! be prO:racted
some time.
