PRESIDENT HAYES SOUTHER'
POLICY.


A Washington special says President Hayes
stated yesterday relating to Southern bull doing
at the recent elections, that the time for discus
sion was passed 1t was now too late for any
thing but the most determined and vigorous &C
tion. This determination was reached several
days ago, aud the deliberations of the cabinet on
this subject since then have BEEN comparatively
brief, aud confined mainly to the consideration of
the duty OF the attorney general In the premises.
The President says: "When the policy, latter
ly termed Southern policy, of the adminisI ration
was naugurated, it was with the earnest desire to
concate Sou bern leaders; to round off the
sharp angles of sect ionsl differences and to soft
en- the aspersions Of political strife. No one will
deny that the attempt to enforce this policy was
most earnestly made, nor that it was carried out
with conscientious desire to accomplish the re-
suit for which it was inaugurated. Of the per-
sona and PARTISAN sacrifice in this effort, and OF
the consequent interruption of certain relations
which had previously existed between myself and
some OF NY supporters, have nothing to say just
now, but it appears the leaders who made these
pledges either did not exert themselves to keep
them, OF were unable to do so.
In fact am reluctantly forced TO admit that the
experiment Was failure. The first election oil
Importance held since it was attempted, has prov
I'd that "A fair election with free suffrage for every
voter In the South is an impossisihty under the
existing condition OF thngs. IL is not because the
republican party appears as the sufferer in these
results that complain. 1t is because suffrage
and freedom OF political rights have have been
intertered with, that am called upon to take
cognizance OF these disturbances.
Ii tue facts were exactly reversed and if the re-
pubcans had committed these Outrsges upon the
democrats, my duty would be the same. 1t will
not do for me any official before whom the
questions may come, to treat them otherwise than
IN an unr artisan way. The partisan press will
naturally take partisan view OF the case, and l
will be held to account for aiding the republicans,
(the 'stalwarts' mean, IN Haunting the bloody
shirt, as it is called
don't think Southern democratic leaders are
responsible for these crimes. Hampton, for ex-
ample, has tiled repeatedly to repress the violence
which characterized the campaign in South Caro-
lima, ana failed"
The President also said 81 cannot expect to
hold the office do without being kicked and cuff
ed little, but for all that shall do my duty as
chief magistrate OF the people, democrats and re-
publicans alike, and 10 the faithful execution OF
the laws Of justice shall demand punishment of
this or that man whatever his political connection
may be. l shall not be deferred by criticism.
All know IS that great crime has been COM
mitted, and that it is my duty to punish the Grim
Ials."
