and his Cabinet, in n herangue at Philadel.
phia, on Monday night He set down HAYES
as fool; Sherman as man whose only
record is that he entered Congress poor and
left it rich; Evarts as a political trimmer
with No principles " inscribed upon his

HAYES PoLICY-A great deal has been
said about Hayes's peace policy, and the
blessings which were to flow from its exer-
else, but it would be difficult, we imagine, to
define it. There has been n cry of peace
Peace" when there is no peace He has
kept in office many Of the most corrupt ap-
pointees of President Grant. He continues
to sustain the fraudulent carpct-bag Govern
ments in Louisiana and South Carolina,
which would evaporate in day if they were
not supported by his troops. He has ap-
pointed Democrat Postmaster General, and
set his Republican predecessor, Tyner, to
watch him and see that he makes no appoint
ments but such as will help to strengthen
the Republican party. His policy, if he has
one, seems to be to deceive with fair words
and lying promises, while he steadily pur-
sues the course of Grant, but in a more
crafty and subtle manner. Hereafter let him
be judged by his deeds, not by his words.

gave vslt to their irritation. The notary
rushed out OF his private Office to ind
the clerks convulssd with laughter. and
ten Infatuated hunchbacks clicked with

WINGED them that they were the victims
