The Colored Citizens of
Ohio Endorse the PyeSi-
DENTS Southern Policy.

Ohio Endorse the PIeSl7
DENTS Southern Policy.
The Hamilton Telegraph says
In what light the Presidents South
ern Policy is regarded by the Color
ed men themselves, may be seen in
the extracts we give herewith from a
circular drafted a few days ago by
Geo. W. Williams and Alfred J. An
derson, and distributed through the
Southern States. Messrs. Anderson
and Williams were appointed a com
mittee by the Colored citizens of
Ohio in Convention assembled in
Cincinnati, May 18th, to prepare a
circular. After reviewing the IN
happy condition of the Colored man
in the South from the close Of the
war to the present time, the commit
tee strongly endorse the course the
President has adopted, and say:
"But what other course could the
President have pursued, under the
circumstances ? The Republican
Governors of South Carolina and
Louisiana confessed, in official docu-
ments to the Executive, that their
gubernatoriaI chairs were tOttering /;
and that without the Intervention of
the bayonet they would certainly
fall. A voice, loud and peremptory,
came from both North and South,
protesting against Federal interfer-
+. ence, and praying for local self-gov-
ernment. The President obeyed
that voice. But, not without first
exacting the most binding pledges
from Hampton and Nichols that
they would respect the Amendments
to the Constitution, and give the
widest liberation to all political
opinions, and protect both races in
the exercise Of the elective franchise.
President Hayes has committed him
self to the support and enforce
ment Of the Constitutional Amend
meGts in the hearing Of his country
men, and the nation will not soon
forget his solemn pledges"
After declaring that a continuance
in the old policy would proIOng the
era of sectional strife and do no
benefit to the COIored man, the adj
dress concludes
"An unfaltering trust In God, and
an unwavenng confidence in the Chief
Executive of the Nation, will give
abundant opportunity for the testing
of a policy which, at present, many
are won't to regard with disfavOr If
we had the slightest reason to doubt
the honesty or political integrity of
President Hayes, we would not en-
courage you to aid his Southern
measures, either by sympathy or
act.

THELITTLE BLUE BADGE.
q MurphY SOM

TUHB-"wE'LL HAVE TO GET THE STYLE"
Sung by Misses Nora and Ida Cluxton Words
]. r. Cluxton.
/.
To all dear friends song III sing,
Ola King that is quite old,
De visits both the rich and poor,
And has many banks Of gold.
He was born of the fruitful corn and grape,
And nursed in the social bowl,
His name is Old King Alcohol,
Who has ruined many a soul.
CHORUS.
Come one, come all, both great and small,
And sign this Murphy pledge,
It will do you good to carry the card,
And wear the little blue badge.
.
He has for his victims he high and low,
And in almost every place,
He has left the mari; Of 50. Oy
On many youthful face.
Oh then, dear friends, come now with nc,
And sign this Murphy pledge,
And shoulder to shoulder we will stand,
and wear the little blue badge.
CHORUS.
Oh then, "with charity for all,
And malice towards nOne,"
We here do pledge our sacred word,
"God helping" wen press on!
8.
This cruel King o'er earth has reigued
For more than a thousand years,
With his great black fiag of misery
All wet with woman's tears.
And children still are crying
As in the days of yore,
In tattered rags, in hunger and cold,
Begging from door to door.
CHoRUs-Oh! then with charity, &C, sc.
Wen drive this monster from our land,
Nor rest till victory's won,
WeTI vanquish him with Tore alone,
Nor fire single gun.
Wen plant our flag Oh every sea,
And keep it in the van.
This mighty ball keep rolling on,
Till we rescue every man.
CHoRUs-Oh! then with charity, &c, &C.
5.
Our mothers dear who prayed in faith
In street and in saloon
Now see their work rewarded,
And hail the precious boon.
Come, father, mother, sister, brother,
And join this Murphy band,
And Tor each other we will live,
For united we viii stand.
CHORUS.
Come one, come all, both great and small,
And sign this Murphy pledge,
1t will do you good to carry the card,
Ard wear the little blue badge.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY

The POSTMASTER GENERAL GIVES
SOME REASONS Why IT SHOULD BE
CULTIVATED BY THE SoUTH-AN AD-
VERSE OPINION
The Memphis CTenn.) Appeal pub
fishes the following extract from a let
ter from Postmaster General Key to
his brother at Chattanooga, Tenn.
every little is doing in regard to
Southern appointments. I presume
the President is feeling his way as
to these. He desires to be as lib
eral toward the Southern people as
he dare. The Presidents Southern
policy-his action as to South Carroll
ma and Louisiana-has arrayed
against him Blaine, Wade, Wendell
Phillips, the carpet baggers and 9th
er bloOdy-shirt Republicans. The
Democrats have a majority in the
House, and this detection may give
an opposition majority in the Senate.
To give the President the power to
carry out his Southernpolicy,it is nee
essary that he have a majority in both
Houses favorable to his administra-
ton. Whether he shall have this
majority depends on the Southern
Democrats. If they oppose the Ad-
ministration, elect Northern Dem
ocrat such as Randall, or Sayler, to
the Speakership, and ally themselves
with disafected Republicans to fight
the Administration, he will be compell-
ed to use his official patronage in such
way as to give his Administration
strength in his own party whereas,
should Democrats wisely extend him
a support, he will be able to deal his
patronage iberalIy,and revOlutionize
the system of federal patronage
which has existed in the South since
the war. Southern Democrats a1cac
hare the pO10er to redeem the South
If they see proper to use 1t. The
President is determined in his South
ern policy, if the South will give him
support necessary to carry it out.
In my opinion the true method for
the Democratic party of the South to
protect itself, and maintain its sue
cessful organization, is for that party
to declare in favor of Mr.. Hayes Ad-
mistration,not as Republicans, but as
Democrats, upon his Southern poll
cy. It the Presidents Southern
policy fails, the Southern Democrat
&c party 1oiH be to JJa,Re for It,. the
people 10iU Eno10 1t, and hold 1t re-
8pOuSi6Le."

The effect of the European war on
the grain product Of the United
States has been Investigated by the
bureau of statistics, and the result is
altogether encouraging. It appears
that from September 1, 1876, to
April 1, of this year-the period
since the harvest--there have been
placed in the English market from
this country, 49,751, 900 bushels Of
wheat against 50, ,24O,OOO for the cor
responding period of the year before,
showing a decrease of over 13,000,-
600 of bushels in our expectation Of
wheat to England for the same date
The importation into Great Britain
from other sources has been nearly
100000 bushels against nearly
34,0O0,OOO of the previous year. This
shows that there is quite a deficit in
England as compared with former
years. The effect of this Will be to
stimulate American expectations Of
grain very largely, in the opinion Of
the bureau.

Two months have enabled the peO-
pie of this country to know their
President very we'll. Now, nobody
ventures to suggest that be is a
weak man. His opponents, indeed,
have concluded to represent that he
is a politician of great sagacity and
skill, and & man of singular courage
and frmness-a cold, calculating,
unscrupulous, and powerful leader.
His friends find that he is all that
they had ventured to hope. The
majority of citizens, astonished at
the strength and courage which he
has shown, and finding no trace Of
trickery in lis straightforward ad-
herence to noble purposes boldly
avowed, are especially gratifed be-
cause, even in two short months, he
has shown that he not only means
to accomplish, but knows how to &C
compish, the great reforms for
which the country has especially
Ionged.-[N. Y Tribune.

The editorial brethren of Mr.
CowIes of Cleveland do not agree
with him in his gloomy view of the
future of the Republican party in
Ohio. The Herald Of the same city
says it dissents decidedly from his
opinions, and while there is some
dissatisfaction it is rapidly disap-
pearing. Even our old friend Of the
Miami Union is dumbfounded at the
success Of the Presidents policy,
and hasn't had the manhood to give
a solitary pat on the back of the
grumblers for the space of two
weeks. Things is working.-[ [Piqua
