A BETTER MAN
Is in his place To-day, though he has no
business there, more than you or we,
dear reader. But in spite of the fraud
and corruption by which he was elected
he is endeavoring to act in accordance
with precepts of right and justice.
When we heard before his Inauguration
that he would recognize Nichols as Gov
.c I nf
South Carolina, we could not believe it
for the recognition of Nichols was equal
to an admission of lis own defeat. But
he had either to do that OF behold the
Inauguration of guerilla war in the
South. He knew thar men will not

rights; he knew that the taxes in the
South under military. and carpet-bag

ton; and that the negroes had awoke to
full sense of the way in which they
had been
DUPED AND CAJOLED
Into voting against the interests of the
only men who could give them work.
The carpet-bagger was backed by the
army and the Attorney Generals Office.
$50 be put up Sambo for the Legislature
where he voted him for thieving bills
and pocketed the lions share. giving
S&inbo a gold watch and a few circus
tickets. Sambo went back home to get
work from his former owner, only to
receive his curses for voting away all
the peoples money in subsidies to pa
per railroads aud other legalized lar
cenies. Meantime. the thief had gone
back to Washington to tell Judge Flax
brake. of the Outrage Mill, all about
those poor prosecuted negroes and
those atrocious White Leagues. There
fore the number of Democratic votes
in the black ranks. is no great matter of
wonder. 1t must be borne in mind
that
THE REBEL ELEMENT
Owns the lands and that the Southern
States are merely agricultural commu-
mites as yet. True it is, that Rich
mond, Atlanta and Huntsville, possess
better water power than Lowell. Law
renee and Nashua, and that they are
nearer to the cotton fields. But what
capitalist will invest his millions in a
country where state of anarchy pre-
walls? Answer that. Now if Ben But
ler and his class of men can keep up
agitations and rumors of riots in the
South, the cotton crop may be- worked
up in Massachusetts for some time to
come. But once let the South become
tranquil and then the capital will be
invested there. The cotton crop will
be worked up at home and the Eastern
towns, like Lowell, become wilder
ness of smokeless chimneys.
HAYES KNOWS ALL THIS
And knows that the time has come
when he can not allow the army to be
used for any such purposes as it has
been. He knows that an exasperated
people are liable to do anything when
they are robbed of their liberties and
swindled out of their rights. He knows
that the ascendancy of his7party9is only
nominal; that he was beaten over a
quarter million Of votes by popular re-
turn; that the party which elected him
is a minority in that branch of Con
gress where the appropriations must
originate; and lastly that ne was made
President not by the people but by
III politicians. Hence, being man
of ordinary good SENSE and knowing
that the
POWER OF THE PEOPLE
Is greater than that Of the politicians.
he has determined to cut loose from the
corruptionists. Hence the deep grief Of
Blaine. Morton, Sargent and the whole
nest of ultra Republicans over the Ca
binet. They hate Evarts because he
defended Andy johnson with such sig
nal ability; they hate Schurz because b e
was the first man to call public atten-
ton to the corruption and profigacy of
Grants administration; and they hate
Key on general principles because he is
I. Democrat. 1t is not likely that any
more of Hayes cabinet nominees will
be confirmed by the present executive,
but be will wait till next session and
