POLITICAL NOTES.

examplep They will If they see chance
to win in that way.-M Y. Tribune.
Ras~ Since the fraud investigation has
ended in farce, there is very marked
decline in Tilden stock The general
conclusion is that the indefatigable pipe
layer and mischief-maker is the biggest
fraud that can. be found. albany Jour
ndk
nay When there is general rising
against the old slave-holding bourbons,
who think they have a divine right to
rule, and that the masses are their born
vassals, there will be some prospect of
the regeneration of the South, but not
till then. Philadelphia Press.
Rsy- JEFF Davis rejoices that the South
has "regained local self-government."
This is an unexpected though not very
gratifying Endorsement of the processes
by which Nichols and Hampton were
allowed to usurp the Governments of
the States of Louisiana and South Car
olina. National Republican.
Rs5s A Washington correspondent of
the Boston Herald says Hayes could
just as well have had the support of
Conkling and Butler as their opposi-
tion, if he had been willing to have it
on their own terms. The terms of Conk-
ling and his friends were simply that
the Administration should be Republic
an. Instead, it is Southern Democratic.
-Uttca Republican.
RtayH Senator Thurman is trying to in
crease his Presidential prospects by de-
claring himself IN favor of the repeal
of the Resumption act The gentleman
has been known all his life as an advo-
cate of hard money. But then Demo-
cratic statesman will reverse any of his
beliefs for the sake of being President;
will, if necessary, favor the repeal of
everything from the decalogue to the
fifteenth amendment Denver Tribune.
Rs5~ The Empress Augusta, of Ger
many, wrote an autograph letter to
Gen. Grant, while he was in Berlin ex-
pressing the Emperor regret that he
had not been able to receive him. OF
course this must be accepted as another
proof of Grants imperialist designs.
Gath and Dana will have to write few
columns about Philadelphia Bu!le-
tin.
REgH One of the striking features of
the present Administration is its fondness
for Liberal Republicans, Democrats and
ex-rebels. Eighty per cent. of the men
appointed to office since President
Hayes took possession of the White
House have been voting the Democratic
ticket and fit into the rebellion on
the Confederate side.-N Y. COmercidL
AdUertiSer.
Bayn "If any man of the several in
this country who pretend to know all
about the intricate subject of finances,
will tell us how an unlimited increase
of currency will enable a man to get
money who has nothing to sell, he will
greatly oblige a good many. At the
same time he might tell us how the in
crease of "moneyn will increase the
value of farm products, and also keep
at par the gold now in the market. -
West Union (Io,oa) Gazette.
nT~ We are panied to see an occa-
sional snub administered to those So
called Republican papers that delight
in idolizing the Bayards, the Stephenses,
the Gordons, and the whole brood of
ex-Confederate Brigadiers. But it is
inevitable, and they must bearit. Bay
ard is the latest one to ego back ON
his worshipers. He did it in his letter
to the Tammany clique in New York,
commencing the Potter investigation.
Democratic non-partisanship, as usual,
turns out to be the most transparent
partisanship, and Bayard's worshipers
must chew their own words. Boston

Day" The Republicans are confident of
their ability to carry Indiana this year.
They are organizing in every county
and getting right down to earnest, hard
work. If they can elect the next Legis-
lature, thereby securing Republican
Senator for six years to succeed Dan
Voorhees,, and hold their present
strength in the lower house of Con-
gress, they will earn the gratitude of
the Republicans of every State and COW
er themselves with glory. And they
declare they will do it.-HaWk-Eye.
REEn Instead of following the noble
example of Gen. Lee and Gen. Breck-
inridge, who sought refuge from their
hopes decayed at the close of the war,
and ended their lives in honor, though
clouded by misfortune, Mr.. Davis seeks
opportunities to parade his sentiments
upon every occasion. His conspicuous
failure as leader in the South and his
constant efforts to justify the mistakes
of his life, when better men are willing
to forget them, make him a peculiar
enemy of the people of the section
which is hungering for peace and pros
perity. Baltimore Gazette.
BlE" Secretary Sherman's last letter
to Mr.. Potter is blow right between
that gentleman's eyes. 1t shows the
utter inconsistency of the course of
that committee, which zealously en-
deavored to prove the negative in re-
gard to intimidation in the Feliciana
parishes, but obstinately refuses to al
low any evidence to be received upon
the affirmative of the issue. Secretary
Sherman shows both the weak and
wicked attitude assumed by the COM
mittee, and is decidedly refreshing
reading for these sultry days. Mr..
Potter is poor match for the Secretary
as writer of vigorous epistles.-
ester Democrat and Chronicle.
Rs6~ By these suspensions the Presi-
dent has set the Republican party free.
He has won the favor of those who
complained of his hesitation to act. He
has taken away from the faction OPP
posed to him their whole armory. He
has stricken down the machinen and
given opportunity to individual Repub-
licans to think and act for themselves.
You may be sure that the Custom-House
cannot be used under the new manage
ment to sell out Republican candidates,
nor to trade either with Tammany Hall
or Mr.. Tilden. Upon any fair, un-
biased expression of Judgment there has
been no day when the Republicans of
New York would not condemn as mex
cusable the factious movements for
crippling and Obstructing the admins
tration of Mr.. Hayes in his efforts to
correct abuses, enforce the laws and
lead us back to general prosperity.-N.
