The south in the Senate.
Hnahinnton 6nndau Herald

In noting the sharp antithesis between
the brutal bearing of the Republican lead
ers in the Senate, and the dignity and sum
cheney of the Southern leader6 during the
struggle of the past week, the country will
be sure to award a great advantage to the
South. Southern Senators are simply types
of race, which, with all its faults, was never
mean-whose great men were truly great
because they superadded courage and the
love of truth to ability and learning. Sneers
at the ~chivalry'' of the South, at its @trop-
icaI oratory,n and It's love of sentimental
politics." will cease TO be fashionable some
of these days. The country Is rapidly
learning that a strong infusion OF the South
ern qualities into the counting room states
manship and hard materialism OF New
England and New York will give US .
broader and better civilization.
Senator Hoar may congratulate himself
that the stricken Senator from North Car
olina was prevented By illness from admin
istering the punishment adequate to his own
pedagogical impertinence. But while ht
may see in Ransom knightly gentleman
who never gave an insult and never sub
mitted to one, he may probably study the
bearing and character OF a man in whom
the aspiring American Senator may always
find model.
The Radical .ssmall fry' Senators of the
pattern OF Wadleigh and Mcmillan served
to point moral tor the benefit of Edmunds
and Conkling, by giving to Ben Hill some
slight provocation for the display of the
power of debate which Georgia well under
stood when she placed him in the senate.
The South, not less than the Democratic
party. is immensely the gamer from such
game displays of proves as Senator Cor
don gave in his assault upon the inconsis
tehcIes, the bubbles, subterfuges, sneers
and manners OF Conkling and Edmunsls
The superciIious Senator from New York
invited the "palpable hit'' which Gordon
gave him when he said in Tuesdays
debate that s'rhetorle did not require
truth and accuracy of statement to produce
its finest effects" That is fact,s quick
ly responded the Georgian, "of which the
speeches of the Senator from New York
always furnish Illustration" The bravery
and dignity of the South, in contrast with
the cruelty of her. prosecutors and malig-
1ers, were never Better asserted than In the
i'm FASHIONED outbufsts of Indignation with
which Gordon answered Edmunds on

To the Editor of the NeV Pork Sun.
The recent presence in our city of "Ex.
Gov. Hayes of Ohio,'' recalls to my mind an
incident heard related while in MISSISSIPPI
pi last month.
In the Chancery Clerks office, at Macon
Miss. which is the county site of Noxubee
county. hangs a massive Seth Thomas cal
endar clock. At the time of the creation
of Joe Bradley's 8 to commission, Mr..
Robert G. Patty, the Chancery Clerk,
placed in a conspicuour place over the dial
of this Clock the words Give US fair
count - At the very hour the Electoral
Commission counted in" the aforesaid ex-
Governor, this clock, which up to that time
had kept correct time, ceased to run, and
although skilled workman has given it
his attention, it refuses to keep correct time.

Why Not!
NesO York Sun.

Soon after the exposure of the frauds oil
the old Tammany Ring, nearly the whole of
them had the decency to flee to foreign parts
Now that w. e. Chandler has exposed the
frauds whereby HAYES was counted in as
President, why should not the entire Elec-
toral Ring abscond beyond the seas? A few
have already led the way. For example,
Noyes has gone to Paris, Stoughton to St.
Petersburg, and Kasson to Vienna. But
what long string of worthless yet finger
among US! Look at specimen: Evarts OF

The Silver Dollar

The Chicago Tribune says that the silver
dollar was abolished so secretly that Gen
Grant, though he signed the law, did MOI
know IL for eight months afterward, wheT
he wrote to friend expressing his regret
that the coinage Of the silver dollar was moi
progressing to his satisfaction. It is also
said that two years and half after the pas
sage of the act, Gen. Hayes did not know it.
since In all his speeches during his cam
paign against Allen in 1875, he advocated
the payment of all our debts in ''gOld and
silver" The Tribune thinks that had the
fact been generally known, Allen could
have beaten Hayes, and, of course, the latter
would not have been thought of for the
Presidency.
