THERE are many Hayes Republicans
in this community who applaud the
Presidents Southern policy but unless
decisive and prompt steps are taken to
bring those Mississippi murderers to
Justice, the beauties of that policy will
become lost in the cloud of Indignation
which the horrible butchery creates.
A FAMILY of several brothers and SIS
tiers residing on farm in Beaver county,
Pa. kept several thousand dollars in

time. Finally the courts had to give
up, and ninety-seventy years interest

principal, made nearly $52, 900. The
amount was paid to the grandsons of
the original claimant.
The talk about there being much dis
satisfaction in Ohio with President
Hayes, and the probable defeat Of the
Republican party in that state at the
next election is largely the result of an
unrestrained exercise of the reportorial
imagination. A few sore heads among
Republicans, and the Democratic politi-
clans who fear that Hayes policy will
demoralize their party, no doubt pretend
| to see omens of disaster to the Repub-
lican party; but such men are not safe
| prophets.
