THEP0LIcY.

The conclusion is at last reached by Mr..
Hayes that his Southern policy is failure
Communics lions from Louisiana to the Radi-
calls at Washington from their defeated broth
ers say that the Republican party down there
can never be recognized unless by force-the
return of the Grant rsle. There are also some
rumors from like source about intimidation
in South Carolina. The South is soidly Dem
ocratic, therefore Hayes removal Of the bayo-
net from the Halls of Legislation and an army
from their guardianship of the ballot boz,
and performance Of other duties for the restor-
alton Of States rights is failure. In a par
tiEan view he regards the matter. In this
light his policy, which was 10 gather the
South to his support and endorsement. has
been far-reashing failure. His official career
is the result of crime and must be pregnant
with disappointments to himself He may
perform all manner Of righteous DECIDE, but the
source OF bis official life is SO foul as to swal
low up ell following amends. The question
Sands so !: He restored the full right Of suf
frage to prosecuted people, and they exer
cised that right; they voted their politica
sentiments. which were contrary to Hayes ;
therefore the President made failure when
he performed the duties of his Office, and Sc
cnfed to people the rights which were their
70 demand. All that does not encourag,
fraud and roguery, according to Republican
morality, 10 a failure-a vice. The Republi
can party must be reorganized by force. Tn,

DEATHS

DIED, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Jno W. Holland, near Dckersou's Station,
on Thursday, November T. Mrs. EMILY ANN
TRUNDLE, relict of the late Hezekiah Trun-
die, In the sixty-6fth year OF her age.
No tribute that could be written 10 the men,
DRY Of Mrs. Trundle but would seem weak and
wanting 10 those whose privilege il has been
10 know her. Charity was no empty word
with her; religion was no vacant theory. Her
hand, her heart, her faith, all were ever active
IN deeds Of goodness and mercy. In the dis
posal OF her bounty she knew no criterion but
the need OF the recipient she cared not whether
he were worthy or unworthy, whether be
would be grateful or ungrateful. Her duties
as wife, mother aud sister were rendered with
the most touching and affeciionate tenderness,
and there is not one who ever knew her who
cannot truly call her friend. Her hospitality
was proverDial, even in region celebrated
Tor hospitality. She was consistent member
OF the Church 10 which she belonged. but her
religion extended through and beyond Church
divisions into that broad, holy Christian faith
that recognizes all mankind as brothers, es-
pecially the weak and needy. Many one to-
day can say that he has lost bis best friend /,
and not one OF her acquaintauee but from bis
heart prays that she rests In peace.

The elections are over and we trust the
country 10 again safe. When willy, ambitious
and somewhat INSCRIPTIONS men like Ben
Butler are candidates for high Office and go
into the contest to win at all hazards, we do
not always feel assured of our national safety
until after the election, for there is no coali-
ton or fraud or other deviltry that will not
be resorted TO in order to reap success. II is
all very well to pooh. pooh at Kearneyism,
fraudulent votes and registrations, yet The
differe nee between many of the elections now
held in our great cities and the selections OF
rulers 10 ancient Rome by resort TO arms, is
only one of degree and time, and courage only
is needed TO develop cootin uous and persistent
ballot box stutfing into the force given by an
armed mob under the guidance of Kearney
or a Cohan, or may we say a Ben Butler? To
be sure Mr.. Butler is man of peace, but TO

CUMBERLAND NEWS.

Our friend, the Cumberland Ne,cs, quotes
our comments upon the late election and in an
introduction 10 the same infers that we ''pro-
pose to have hand, by way Of retaliation, in
failure elections" Our article warrants no
such inference. We do not feel called upon to
make any apology for what we have said upon
the subject, but will say further that The defeat
recsstly accomplished is not a defeat to the
Democracy--it is the success of rings and com.
binations, especially IN Cumberland where The
opposition was a heterogeneous mixture O.
disappointed Office seekers. We have been
with the Democracy for many years. We
were there In the last fight, and In the future
Intend to stick to the old flag. No departure
In ours, thank you we will take it straight.
The NeWs is mistaken IL it thinks to hide its
attempt at aggravating the Democratic disease
In his section by giving us the ridiculous pol
Icy Of retaliation. We will do what we deem
our duty, and that means our level best for
the Democracy.

Cape May is in ashes. The last season at
this popular seaside city was so brilliant and
prosperous to hotel-keepers that there can be
little doubt that the buildings destroyed by
the fire Of Saturday last will be replaced be-
fore the next season opens. The destruction
Of property, however, has been very great.
The principal houses burned are the Atlantic
Hotel, Congress Hall, Ocean House, Columbia
House Centre House, Avenue House, Wyom-
ing House, Merchants Hotel McCrary's,
Kings, Freyer's, Cahill's, Judge Hambur
gers, Eliza Miller's, Suelkeys, Alexander
McConuell's, some of the cottages and private
dwellings. The entire loss is estimated at
S400, 900, about half covered by insurance.
This is the second general conhagration that
has swept this resort. In 1869 II was nearly
destroyed by fire. The site of this watering
place is so richly endowed by nature that no
reasonable amount of disaster can prevent its
remaining fvorite summer resort.

Considerable difficulty Is experienced in
Baltimore to induce al: Iradesmen TO take sill

low as 80 cents, while some merchants make
point Of announcing that trade dollars will
be received by them at par 10 payment for
goods. The New York quotations for Ameri.

will not sccept trade dollars from their Gus
toners, but banker said he could bur them
AZ per cent. discount, or 90 cents on the
dollar. for any considerable amount. which
would be margin enough when he sold them
in Ne~ York. Baltimore bullion dealers pay
81 cents for trade dollars IN sums from one
dollar upward. The trade dollar has 400
grains, aud the legal-iender silver dollar 4l2i
grains. vet the one which weighs the most is
worth the least In paper.

EXTRAORDINARY HoRsE.-Tbere seems to be

JUDGE BOwIE'S CHARGE TO THE
GRAND JURY.
Gentlemen of the G, and jury :

Gentlemen Of the Grand jury:
Your powers and duties are 80 well known,
that il seems almost an idle ceremony to dwell
upon them.
1t is not so much, however, the kno " ledge Of
| as an earnest devotion to duty that is necessa-
ry to the faithful discharge OF public trusts.
Custom wears of the edge of conscience and
duls our sense of obligation.
We need 10 be reminded day after day OF
what the law requires of US, especially when
we act as a body or in a collective capacity
Everything durable and valuable lives by
repetition. All the great processes OF the nat
ural and moral world are developed by rota-
tion. The seasons, the planets, the currents
Of animal and vegetable life continually re.
volve. So The principles Of civil government
are preserved by constant reassertion.
1t IS an ividous task to seek out aud pros
ecute offences. But il is better for society tina
this duty should be committed to a body oil
citizens, selected for their discretion, iuielli-
gence and inparlialiiy than depend upon the
impulses of passion, prejudice or revenge,
which might actuaie individuals.
The great advantage Of prosecutions con-
Quoted by Indictment, rather than informa-
ton, is that the former secures dispassionate
investigation by disinterested jurors, purged
by their oatbs CT all palice, hatred or i'll will
on the one hand, and Of fear, favor or affection
on the other. Hence, all prosecutions BY in
formers have been long prohibited and dscon-
tinued in this State.
| Still, Grand Jurors may be made the in
struments Of private malice and revenge, or
popular prejudice aud passion, unless they are
careful to sift the character and motives oil
witnesses, and distinguish between the testi-
mony of credible, intelligent witnesses aud the
accusations OF irresponsible persons, prompted

A laxity Of principles leads to demoralizs-
toa. This Is a truism. To guard against
such IN the party it is necessary that the par
y engage in representing the extent Of such
an evil. There are lessons TO he learned from the
last eight, and it would be foolIshness to shut
our eyes to facts that actually exist, and one
is that our own ranks need discipline as much
as the enemy needs watching. We tpro-
pose, being Democratic journal, TO be silent
for the sake Of little favor, but whenever we
deem 1t necessary to point out flaws for RENE
dy In our own organization or points of at
tack In the opposition's we shall certainly do
