From the Columbus Sunday Herald
Key to the Southern Policy.

An esteemed correspondent at New
ark writes as follows:
II believe your opposition to what you
consider the policy OF President Hayes in
regard to the South. is consistent and
honest; and in view Of present occur
rences in South Carolina and elsewhere,
| cannot but ON in that opposition, al
though | have hitherto been one of the
Presidents warmest supporters. l have

of your paper. and | should like now to

the Republican party l still consider
him sincere. although | must admit that
he is mistaken and weak"

policy 1t is the opinion of the Herald
however, that ii the Presidents actions
are to be understood, either Tor the SAX
OF present security or the future truth Of
history, that the idea of his personal
sincerity must be abandoned
Hayes, alter the election of 1876, feared
either that he had not been elected at
all. or that anyway he was going to be-
counted out; and to attain the Presiden
tial chair, he entered into bargain with
the rebels of the South. by which. in
consideration of their allowing him to
secure the Presidency, he agreed to the
o, erthrow by force of the Republican
State governments of Louisiana and
| South Carolina, and further agreed to let
| White League and Rife Clubs work their
will upon the white and colored Republi
cans of the South. This bargain is the
key to his conduct. On no other theory
can it be explained. If he believed him
self rightful President, then he knew
that Packard and Chamberlain were
rightful Governors, and was bound by
official oath to sustain them. If they
were not rightGul Governors, then he

Where he stopped to have his meal.

paper shall extingui.h debt. 1t does
not create money. 1t only sets up a new
kind Of bankrupt act, by which those can
get a legal release who are not able to
pay their debts. And the touchstone is
that no government can fix the amount
OF property that its paper shall buy. The
attempt has been made many times. 1t
has always failed The holder of prop
erty sells or not. as he pleases, and if he
will not take Government paper at all it
is not money at all. in dealing with him
Or if he will take it at only half its face
then it represents only half its face in
money.
Precisely the same thing would happen
il fat money should be issued No hold
er of property would sell, unless the price
should be made high enough to satisfy
him If he considered the paper worth
20 cents on the dollar, he would demand
$5 in that paper for property worth 81.
If he considered the paper worthless, he
would refuse to sell at all. All that
Government could possibly do nould BE-
to rob the creditor, by making worthless
paper effective for the discharge OF debts
And that is exactly what those want who
hate the creditors by whose loans the
Union was saved.

The Harvest Sheaf.

There's a lonely sheaf in the havest field
That weary hands have bound,
And left for many day and night
Alone on the story ground.
Some tired heart m ust have looked
For a harvest of peace and love,
To gather at last but the hopes that died
Meath the clouds which gathered above.
s& All over the world there are harvest fields,
And in some the reapers are gay;
In others the sewers with tear-Dlind eyes
Turn empty-h handed away.
o Summer, why scatter thy sunbeains bright
Only for some who sow,
While there are hearts where the grains OF JOY
Are struggling through clouds to grow
But the lonely sheaf in the harvest field
That some weary hand has bound
VIII stand through shadow and cloud and rain
Alone on the rugged ground,
Till the patient Sower himself grows ripe
For the harvest of heaven above,
And is gathered home by the Fathers hand
And saved by the Fathers love.

Sand Electoral Commissions could justify
him to his own conscience in holding on
to a seat which he himself believed to be
long to another man. And that's his
dilemma. Either he knows he is not
rightful President, or he knows he vic
] lated his oath in permitting an armed
| mob to overturn Packard and Chamber
| lain. Is such a dilemma consistent with
personal sincerity or honesty? Let our
| correspondent study the matter carefully.
Hayes Southern policy then simply
followed as a consequence of the bargain
he entered into with the usurping trait.
ors of the South. As long as he consid-
ers that bargain binding, he will not lit
ashand to stay the course of outrage and
murder that is sweeping over South Car
olira and other States AS long as he
adheres to it, he will look on and see
ruthlessly murdered and trampled under
foot the very colored men for whose sake
alone he expressed special desire to be
elected As long as he adheres to that
bargain, he will have practically abdicat
ed the high powers and duties OF his
office which he has sworn to preserve
intact
But as the bargain was in the first
place dishonorable and infamous, he il
not in honor bound to adhere to it 1t
is not yet too late to reassume the con
stitutional authority which he has laid
aside. Not yet too late to extend pro.
lection to the betrayed and insulted Re-
publicans of the South. Not yet too late
to send hope and consolation to the des,
olate hearts of the faithful blacks Not
yet too late at least to make the issue,
hurl defiance at the enemies of constitu-
tIonal freedom, and on that issue rouse
again the patriotism and conscience of
the land.
And there is faint hope that Hayes
may break the unworthy bonds that have
ietUered both the President and the man.
There is faint hope that when Attorney
General Devens recently SAID to South
Carolina Northup, Il want no trafficking
or guarantees, but simple respect for the
constitutional rights of citizens" he ex
pressed the sentiments of the President
himself If so, and if Hayes invokes and
exercises the power the Constitution
places in his hand to enforce the laws
and secure the equal rights OF all, the
Herald will. in IT'S humble sphere be
