TIE President has determined to use
the whole power of the law to bring to
justice and punish the perpetrators of
the stupendous frauds and outragcs
committed IN some Of the Southern
States in the late elections, and, in pur-
suance of this purpose, a number of the
offenders have been arrested and held
to bail, and other arrests will follow
President Hayes is thoroughly in earn
est in this matter, and has made the an
nouncement that if any of the law Off
GERS of the government shall prove re-
miss in their duty, they will be replaced
by others more efficient, and that he
will exhaust every legal resource to de-
fend Republicans and Democrats alike
in the exercise of their political rights.
The announcement of this determine
ton to enforce the laws and political
equality under them, is being represent
ed by some of the anti-administration
papers as Presidential new depar-
ture," an abandonment by the Presi-
dent of his policy of Cancellation. This
is not just, for the Southern policy of
the administration never contemplated
it's abandonment of the responsibility
to see that the laws were executed and
criminals punished The possible ne
cessity for just such decided action as
is now being taken, has not been ignor-
ed by the President, though he did hope
that the sense of justice and patriotism
in the Southern people would render it
unnecessary The following extract
from Washington special to the Chi
cago Tribune no doubt correctly ex-
presses the Presidents sentiments.
The President does not regard his dealings
with the South a failure. He is as much con-
WINGED now as ever that the course was right.
and the only practical and just one to pursue.
He is of course disappointed in not receiving
more general response to the generous adj
vances on the part of the Administrations but
the mouth of the South is closed against max
ing complaint on the ground of the interfer-
ence of the Government, and has been left
without excuse for the late frauds and out
RACES. He still looks for lasting good to re-
suit in the South from his cOnciliatory course.
While he does not intend to change the main
features of his dealings with the South, he
will exert the whole power of the Law Depart
ment of the Government to secure the prompt
punishment of all offenders engaged in the
late Outrages.

The Davenport Democrat, in the fol-
lowing reference to the result of the
late elections, conveys deserved re-
buke to it's own party, and an equally
well deserved recognition of the high
and honest position held by the Repub-
lican party in the campaign throughout
the country. 1t says:
Undoubtedly the success that attended the
Republicans is attributable directly to the fact
the Democrats had largely gone off after
strange gods in the form of rag money and
suspicious schemes of finance. The Republic
cans early took stand for good money, and
thus attracted many Of the conservative,
thinking classes of both parties. There is

WE notice that good many of our
exchanges are speaking a good word for
the State Register in connection with
suggestions Of papers worthy Of the
support and patronage of Iowa readers.
We can very cordially agree with almost
everything said by our contemporaries in
praise of the Register. As racy, new
sy, vigorous, enterprising newspaper,
fully up to the times, it has few equals;
and on the point Of ability and general
excellence, without reference to its ad-
vantages as State paper, it is fully as
worthy of the support of Iowa people
as any metropolitan journal. This is with
out reference to any opinion we may
entertain regarding it's value as politi-
cal oracle. As our readers arc aware,
we have found frequent occasion to
crticise the vehement partisanship that
finds expression in the editorial columns
OF the Register, and we are not now pre-
pared to endorse, without qualification,
the soundness of it's judgment in deal
ing with political subjects, either from
a party or a general point of view. But
this does not prevent us from appreci-
ating the fact that the Register is a
model newspaper in all other respects,
and in none more so than it's admirable
agricultural department. We find no
agricultural reading that in interest and
practical value to the tiller of the soil,
or in evidence of thorough mastery of
the subjects treated, quite comes up to
the able articles and suggestions of the
elder Clarkson in the State Register.
We notice that some of our cotempora-
ries give this department of the paper
the first place, and we are not sure that
they are not right.

affords and on paying his way like white

THE New York Herald predicts that
the Democratic party will be compelled
to recede from its hostility to resump-

ton on the first of January, and adds:
The credit of its forced retreat will be chiefly
due to the courage, vigor and sagacity of the
Republican party in its united campaign for
honest money in the elections of the present
autumn. 1t is the Republican party that has
breasted the tide of greenback fanaticism, ar
rested it and turned it back, and that party de-
from the issue.

II has been the earnest wish Of the
citizens of this county that her inter-
ests should be properly represented in
our Legislature. Hitherto our repre-
sentation has been divided, and we
have labored under difficulties in se-
curing Just legislation. AS the DINO
cratic party was entirely successful in
The Ito canvass, we had hoped that our
large delegation would be felt to our
advantage, and il is tie wish OF our
citizens, that our delegation shall act
with uuanmity to tho end that II may
Oc powerful to aid US. 1t Is therefore to
be regretted that one Of our Sena.
tors look the course he did on Wednes.
lay. We are sure there was no de-
mand for any such course, and that it
is universally condemned in this coun-
ty. We allude TO Senator Cowan's ac-
ton toward Senator Furlong. The
citiz ms Of this county elected General
Furlong to the Senate, and they knew
precisely what they were doing. If his
colleague has forgotten, for reasons
best known to himself, the great SER
vice Senator Furlong has done the State
and county, our citizens have not, and
their vindicalion, 1t seems to us, should
have been sufficient. Gen. Furlong
was as true as steel TO the interests OIL
the whole State at time when his ser.
vices were almost invaluable, and We
are much gratified that the efforts tc
mortify him were met by Senators
from every part Of the State just as WI
know they would have been met b!
ninety.nine one hundrcdths of the in
telligent citizens of this county, and i
Senator Cowan feels the rebuke no re
ceived, he has only himself to blame
