CONGRESSMAN JOHN GodDE has been giving
his Virginia constituents an explanation of his
course in Congress. A prominent cause oi
complaint against him was the failure OF the
William and Mary College bill. Mr.. Goodc
explains that the Northern people are pecu.
liarly sensitive on the subject OF Southern war
claims" and hence he thought II wise to put
the bill over to the next session, when, "as ]
have reason to believe, there will be better
prospect Of success" That is what the whole
South believes, and its faith will be seen to
have been well grounded If the Democ, ats
carry the elections this fall
President HAYES has all along consoled
himself for the loss Of Republican friendship
by his Southern policy, by the theory that an
independent movement would spring to the
front In the South and deprive the Democracy
of its boasted solidity. His chief reliance in
South Carolina has been Wade Hampton
Hampton made loud professions of admiration
for the President personally and of sympathy
with his policy. Recently Wade's sincerity
has been put TO the tost. A few discOntented
Democrats in that State talked Of starting q
new or independent Democratic party. This
did not suit Hampton, and he proved his de-
yotiOn to Hayes by promptly denouncing the
scheme, and commanding his friends to stick
faithfully TO the old Democratic organization
the party OF Tilden, JEFF Davis, Toonibs, and
Tammany. So now that consolation fails and
the unfortunate President seems destined tC
go through the remainder Of his term Without
even third party to back him.
