1T is not often hat the mass Of men
are touched very deeply by the SORROWS
Of royalty. The kings aud princes live
so far apart from their fellows, they have
so little in common with other people
and their ways are so different from our
ways, that there is hardly a p%rovocation
to the tenderer forms Of sympathy. But
there will be few considerate persons
who will not feel a pang Of genuine pity
for those royal folks TO whom the death
Of Queen Mercedes has brought bitter
anguish. Her youth and what was
known of the artless simplicity of her
character gave her claim to special in
terest. She was not much more than q
child, for last Monday was her eighteenth
birthday, and whatever poisonous in
huences the atmosphere Of courts exert
for the destruction Of character, there
had been no time for her TO lose any Of
the freshness Of her charms of mind and
body. The bloom was on her cheek
when the summons came, aud better still,
it was on her affection. twas a new thing
in that court, polluted by memories
Of uncomfortable crimes against do
nestle purity, and stained with the recol.

HAYES AND sHERMAN GUILTY,
An English Opinion OF she Hayes
Administration.


Pail Mall Gazette, June ISL
1t is the conduct OF Mr.. Hayes since
his attainment to power that is o the
most painful subject Of contemplation
for patriotic Americans. A ruler may
stop on the safe side Of impeachment
aud yet be guilty Of sets by which he
Justly f~orfeits the confidence OF the gov
erned. When President Hayes was
raised to the supreme authority by the
decision of the electoral commission, the
majority of the American people were
p-obably convinced that y wrong had
been done, but they were unwilling to
believe that the President vas in any
way a party to it. But if the evidence
taken within the past fortnight before
the committee Of inquiry be not q mass
Of malignant perjury, it appears that the
men whom the President selected to fiji
the highest offices in the State were d.
reclly implicated in the corrupt transac-
tions BY which the votes Of Louisiana
aud Florida we're taken away from Mr..
Tilden.
Unless Secretary Sherman and Sena-
tor Matthews aud the American minis
tiers at Paris, Vienna and st. Petersburg
are able to prove that they are the vic.
Tins Of q conspiracy, it must be ac-
knowledged that the puriicstion Of poll.
tics Of which the Hayes administration
boosted has made live progress by com
parison even with the worst period OF
General Grants rule. If it be suggested
that the President was ignorant of the
part which his friends played in the
couating Of the votes in Louisiana and
Florida, the answer viii be that there
are limits to human credulity. Mr..
Hayes, it may be admitted, was justified
in believing that his friends-Mr. Sher
man, Mr.. Matthews, and the rest-did
nothing during their visit to the South
that was inconsistent with the %stricresi
honor. But he can scarcely have been
ignorant of the repute 10 which the loes
Republican agents aud the members o.
the returning boards were held, or of th'
popular impression that those persons
had deprived Mr.. Tilden Of his majority
by fraud. Yet Mr.. Hayes, while profess
ing the warmest zeal for civil service re
form, went out of bis way to offer higl
and lucrative Offices to men who, wher
they nov appear to testify against thl
Republican cause, are denounced by thI
Republicans as unworthy TO be believed
on oath.

his company he has the carpet'baggers

should come in, in 1880, be can have an
ether taste OF the peaceful and constitu'

not the province of the Democratic party

contrary to bring back the government
