moro earnest friends among tho South
ern people than Tilden had prior to the

the revolution In public sentiment Is
almost beyond belief, and ho Expresses
the conviction that within six months
President Hayes will DO moro popular IN
the South than he Is now in tho North.

orally approved. The Charleston Ne'''
aud Courier says /: "Tho tidihgs FROM
Washington will send a thrill Of joy and
hope through the whole South. IL Is
almost too good to be true, that alter
sixteen long years n tumult and suffer
ing, South Carolina and Louisiana art
once more TO take their rightful position
as sovereign States Of tho American
Union. and peers politically Of Maine
and Massachusetts,"
The Heruld's leading editorial hopes
the Southern question will soon be
ended, but hopes 1t will be accomplished
without any bargain whereby men will
be forced upon the South whom 1t doe'
not want. like Packard, Chamberlain,
Kellogg. and many others.
