The Aspects Of Cancellation.

1t seems TO he a favorable opportunity
now to take brief review of the progress OF
paritcation and Cancellation in the South
crn States. 1t is lifting time also to make
brief reference to the policy Of the Presi-
dent relating TO the South, and the fruits
that are being gathered thcreirom in the
way Of peace and fraternity between the
two sections of the country. While we have
from the first regarded the Southern policy
OF President HAYES as grave error Of judy
ment, based upon fictitious promises, we
have not impeached or criticised his patri
otism of motive and integrity Of purpose
But, unfortunately, lie has been deceived
and deludcd by Southern hypocrisy and
trcachery into measures that have proved
dclusiye and dangerous to personal right
and the public welfare, and the sooner he
whistles down brakes and stops the
train from going any farther in
the direction it has been travelling.
the better it will be for the whole country.
The time has come when, if there is con-
ccalcd in his composition grain of Roman
tirmncss and independence OF spirit, he
must assert these qualities in an effort
promptly to guard the future from c0nsc-
qucuccs that will prove equally disastrous
| to his administration and the peace and
happiness of the country at large
1t is said that the President has taken q
step in the direction of producing n stay of
the proceedings in Louisiana, under which
the members of the returning board are be-
| ing mercilessly pursued and perse-
cutcd by subsidized juries and suborned
witnesses, even to the dungeons of the
State, when they are in fact innocent
of any crime against the laws. The
cursed spirit which prompted rebellion
is now rife in the South, and under local
| laws it has determined either to incarcerate
or eXpel from that section every man who
dares to assert his rights ard principles as a
Republican.
If President HAYES has written any let,
ter TO Attorney -General DEv EMS on the sub
ject of the Louisiana prosecutions and prose
cutions as is minated the public are no
aware Of its purport or character by it
publication to the world. But the Southern
press assumes that he has, and it does no
WOO him as sweetly and lovingly as for
nery. Tho Atlanta Ca Constitution Ia

And so HAYES Is concerned in the Louisian
prosecutions? Verify he looks forward to

December 9th 1877, a stray copy which aoated
into our sight, says: The patriotic peo-
pie of Hamburg fired several salvos

Which sentence induces us to remark, that 1t
was fortunate that General BUTLER was absent
from Hamburg, when these guns were fired

have had them so primcd, that some Of the
