1t is appropriate at this time to repub-
lish the following brave letter. How tru-
ly the old Senator describes the conduct
Of the miserable political traitor, now de-
serted by the few toadies who surrounded
him when this letter was written:
JEFFERSON, o, April O. 1877.
Mr. U. II. Painter. Washington, D. C.:
Ny DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 5th
was duly received. You ask whether !
remember what said in favor OF Presi-
dent Hayes in my endeavor to procure
his nomination at the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. / do remember it, after what has
since transpired with indignation and a
bitterness Of soul that never felt before.
You know with what untiring zeal !
labored for the emancipation Of the slaves
Of the South, and to procure justice for
them before and during the time / was
in Congress, and l supposed Gov. Hayes
was in full accord with me on this subject
But have been deceived, betrayed, and
even humiliated by the course he has
taken to a degree that / have not Ian
guage to express. During the first month
OF his Administration we find him closet
ed with two Of the worst and most ma
lignant enemies Of the colored race that
can be found in all that slave cursed
region, and there consulting with those
maleiactOrs how best he can put these
colored people under the iron heel Of
their most bitter enemies. and reduce
them to O condition infinitely worse than
before they were made free. And for
Hayes to do this to the men who had at
the hazard of their lives, given him the
votes without which he never could have
had the power to do this terrible injus.
tice
No doubt he meditates the destruction
Of the party that elected him. A con-
temptation of all this fills me with amaze
ment and inexpressible indignation. My
only consolation is that history informs
me that better men than ! ever pretend
ed 10 be have in like manner been de-
ceived. Some have attempted to excuse
him by saying that he means well, but
hell is paved with just such good inten-
tions. Truly yours,

The " Y Tribune is not so much Of
Hayes organ as it was last summer. It
says:
The Administration starts on the sec
ond year of its course with a rattling es-
cort of enemies and a slim and discour-
aged following Of friends Its chief con-
ISOLATION would seem TO be that the latter
squad can't be much smaller
From an editorial in the same number
Of the Tribune, we take the following:
with proper management, by the
proper use of influences which rightly
belong to the Chief Executive-and not
by the prostitution Of patronage-it seems
to us that the Republicans in Congress
could have been rallied to the defence Of
the National credit and the protection Of
our com mercial and industrial interests.
We are not certain that it is even yet too
late to bring back the demoralized party
to its ancient faith and strength. Bull no
serious effort to that end has been made
by the man to whom the party looks as
its leader. He has packed the Senate
and the Cabinet with adyersaries of his
own financial creed, and he has innO-
Gently given encouragement to the party
he desired TO defeat Meanwhile be has
lost all his friends, and he has not ac-
complished the reforms upon which he
set his heart. Everybody respects him.
Everybody who has personal intercourse
with him likes him. But it is impossible
not to see that the first year Of his ad
ministration has been a sad failure. and
that the second year opens with dark
prospects.

The Returning Board Case.

There has been such a conflict Of opin-
ion as to whether Governor Nichols
could or could not pardon Anderson,
when the Legislature was not in session,
that we have been at the pains Of exam
ining the Louisiana Constitution in that
particular. No pardon can be made
without the sanction Of the Senate, and
consequently none can be issued when
the Senate is not in session. A reprieve
can, however, be issued under such cir
cumstances; and, in the case of General
Anderson, this would simply result in
staying the execution of the sentence
until the Senate again came together.
Anderson would, meanwhile, remain iu
Jail at leisure, instead Of going to the
Penitentiary at hard labor. The Senate
adjourned, or was to have adjourned,
yesterday.
Meanwhile this question has been
thrown somewhat into the background
by the sudden, and apparently authorita-
tive, announcement that Governor Mich
oils has not the least intention of issuing
pardon or reprieve. lt is an open
secret in Washington that two members
of the Cabinet most affiliated with "the
policy" had been assured that pardon
would be forthcoming and that Ander
SON himself had telegraphed that he had
been led to expect one. 1t was this in
formation, doubtless, which led the Pres
ident to withhold the letter wherein he
was to announce himself as about ready
to become indignant; and it is not at all
impossible that the talk of pardon was
a nice little trick to keep the letter out
of the way until the adjournment of the
Louisiana Legislature should render
pardon impossible At least, it had that
effect, if it was not started with that pur-
pose.
Now, perhaps, the President will give
Us the letter The country would really
enjoy reading it--vculd like TO sec hoE
much Of Ga Indignation he processes to
be about ready to call up and discharge
upon long expectant community. Now
that it is clearly seen, beyond all question.
that Governor Nichols is a submissive If
not willing tool in the hands OF the
White League, the country would really
like to know what the President thinks
of it-and what he thinks Of the success
of the policy" which he promised to
change the moment that he became con
vinced of its made uacv. Il is ret clear
exactly how, % thia stage. he soui@ ces
about changing it; but wc should like TO
learn his sentiments on the subject. any
way Let Us have the letter--and per.

rect thing to suppress documents Of that
character. Give Us a fair count Gin

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
by THE EDITOR


For many years, duringan subsequent
to the war, acted as secretary Of the
Republican Central Committee of jack
son county When the State Central
Committee would write to us to know
what speakers we desired, always asked
for Senator Wade, when his name was on
the list of speakers, and he was sent here
two or three different years. Once he
spoke at the Fair Ground. to a very large
audience, and Rev. A. Abbott sat on the
stand with him. The Democratic paper
here was awfully shocked that preacher
should sit on the platform with Wade
he was so profane, you know.
heard once of number of Presbyte-
rian ministers who were talking about
Wade, when one of them said he feared
Wade was profane-that some times he
swore. Another remarked that he no.
ticed that Wade always swore on the
right side.
Wade was not a profane man. Jesus
Christ used rougher language when de-
nouncing the Pharisees and hypocrites,
than Wade ever used towards a much
meaner set-the copperhead Democrats.
Cursing sin, and sinners, is not profanity.
That consists in using the name of Deity
with irreverence.
Senator Wade was a devout man. He
read the Bible through two or three times,
in his youth, and he adhered most de-
voutly and truly to its principles. Never
will forget the grand and eloquent man.
ner in which he commenced a speech on
the Public Square in this place. He was
speaking Of the Republican party and he
said the foundation of its principles was
laid away down, deep, on the rock of
Gods eternal truth and justice.
Benjamin F. Wade was the greatest
man who ever lived in this country, with,
perhaps, the exception of Thaddeus
Stevens. He is one of the few who never
sacrificed principle for any thing He
had no price. The price of Webster
Clay, Sumner, Chase, Greeley, and others,
was the Presidency A lady friend once
speaking to Wade about Chase having
aspirations for the Presidency, said: "Mr.
Wade, it is said that you also have aspir-
ations in that direction" 81 hope to
God ! have not, for it has made id
fools of all who have such aspirations"
said he.
1t is admitted that the death of. the
great man was caused by his labor at the
Cincinnati convention, his work and anx-
iety through the campaign and the count,
and his deep disappointment and bitter
ness of soul" as he expressed it, at the
cruel treachery of Hayes.
The most bitter enemy Senator Wade
ever had, never for moment limited that
he was not thoroughly honest, both polit-
ically and personally.

One by one the policy papers are 70
saking the President. like rats deserting
from a sinking ship The New York
Tribune has been firm supporter Of tho
President, but now it has an editorial
nearly every day, mildly denouncing him
as a failure.
Here is an extract from an editorial in
the Tribune:
"Such is the record of one year Of Pres
ident Hayes 1t ought to be criticised,
frankly and unsparingly, and those are
his best friends who tell him the truth.
Thus far his administration is a failure
/ is doubtful whether he has still the
power to make it anything else"
The Cincinnati Commercial has been
going it blind for Hayes, but here is one
of its recent Washington dispatches:
"A former member Of Congress, who in
one of the State conventions last year,
did much to stay the tide of opposition
to the new Federal Administration, has
been visiting this city, and in converse
tion represents that the dissatisfaction
with the general policy Of the Admins
tration is growing rapidly. He predicts
that from present indications President
Hayes will soon be left without a sub
stantial following or support; that the
Republicans Of the Union will draw away
from him entirely and in conventions
and elsewhere act for themselves, dis
claiming all responsibility for the course
pursued by the Administration.

The Jackson Standard cumbers its col
umns full page with the filthy details Of
a trial for adultery. Extra sales from
such enterprise will turn to ashes in the
hand. We are astonished at Mackley.-

That reminds US of little story DR..
Johnson had got out his great Dictionary,
when lady friend, Of the same kind of
transcendental modesty as our brother
Alderman, congratulated johnson, and
told him that she was SO much pleased
that he had not put any vulgar words in
his Dictionary. True madam" said he,
"butI perceive that you have been search
ing for them"
There are eight columns on q "fall
page" of the Standard, and the report OF
the adultery case which so shocked our
brother, occupied much less than one
column. There are many men who think
they have got religion" and who, call.
ing it ''unjustifable prevarication," tell
any falsehood that may suit their wicked
purposes.
We advise brother Alderman to take
into partnership some truly good man.
He, (Alderman,) can play the part of the
wicked partner nearly as well as the
Reed family do with the truly good Dea
con Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati
Gazette.

Gruggs had lain there for what seemed
to be ages, and the night was getting
exceedingly cold, still his determination
was strong, when he heard the voice of
one Of his neighbors, asking: What's
that, down there on the trackT And
he heard his wifA's voice answer "Why,
it's that old fool Of mine; wants to be
killed. But, thank goodness. the express
is two hours late, and he'll freeze to death

up from the track, and went right in, and
sat down by the kitchen stove. He

1t is a dangerous thing to tackle Col
Ingersoll. Some months ago we read a
little story about him which illustrates
our meaning Several persons were in
company, telling anecdotes, and among
them was man who made very loud
professions Of being religious This man
told a smutty story, at which all laughed
except Ingersoll He said to the man
who told the dirty story, Mr.. -, is
there nothing in your religion which for
bids your telling such stories as that q
well, no, said the man, IL think not"
well, there is in mine, said Ingersoll,
and he left that company. 1t is said that
it very much checked the propensity of
the man for telling smutty stories.
A few days ago we found the following
good thing in one of our exchanges:
