The CINCINNATI Gozetfe srgues that the
fact of the President having been such a
warm advocate of the policy OF concilis-
tion, will give additional force and strength
10 the new position which circumstances
have forced him, reluctantly, 10 take. Says
the Gazette:
But II the President has been extreme in
his attempts at Cancellation, this very fact
is now bringing a strength TO the Republi-
can pIrty which il could have obtained in no
other way. By his course he has len the
Democrats OF the South without a shadow o
excuse. There is no pretense that political
adventures from the North Were eating up
their substance. There was no ground for
complaint that the hand Of the general gov
ernrnent rested heavily upon them Further.
in the States where fraud and barbarism
have had full sway, their own chosen and
popular leaders had pledged their own honor
and the honor OF the people of their States
that the legal and constitutional rights OF all
asses should be sacredly maintained
And now, in view OF all that the President
has done, and in view of these pledges vio-
lated as ruthlessly as oaths were brok en- to go
into rebellion, the whole Republican party,
gathering strength which would never have
come to it except for the Presidents course,
is falling into line as the North once before
fell into armed ranks TO compel the obssrv-
ance of law and enforce the provisions of the
Constitution. The Presidents position was
right when he adoptei.it, and while Republi-
cans have had good reason TO criticize some
of the steps in regard to patronage taken un
der It, in the main it has been right, a right
and statesmanlike thing to try, and 10 persist
in until the South either accepted ii in good
faith, or, by repudiating it, left herself with
out excuse. The failure ofthe policy" carries
with II as strong yindication as its success
could bring. And as the North once more
solidifies itself against lawlessness, the def
ance of the Constitution, and the barharism
of the South, no Southern lman or Northern
doughface can complain that this Republican
administration has not made every advance
that men of honor could demand.

Excellent as hospitality is, in the main, it
NAV be so managed as to become fault.
IL requires more attention and delicacy
than Is commonly supposed; and when
these are absent, as they often are, the end
it has, or ought to have, in view is apt to
be frustrated. Hospitality is, in many
cases, regarded too materially-too much
from the side of the entertainer, too little
from the side of the entertained. Persons
who offer il are frequently 80 satisfied 10 be
showy and profuse that they think OF very
little else. Their hospitality, conspicuous
and generous though it be, is a dismal fail
ure, surfeiting, tiring, and worrying those
it was especially designed to gladden. and
crafty.
Many Engllshmen who have done the
States, as they would put it, have returned
home to long illness, invalidism, or death,
and the American climate Is made respon-
sIble therefor II Is the national hospital
ity, sufficient to destroy giant, that is or
was the cause Of their suffering. There are
to-day scores of celebrated Europeans who
are anxious to see the Republic, but who
are deferred from coming by fear Of our
hospitality They are sure that they have
not the constitution and the vigor to endure
it. They stand in dread of our mistaken
generosity; they apprehend that they may
be distressed and injured by an inordinate
and supernatural kindness. Verify, this
sort of hospitality is worse, especially for
its recipients, than no hospitality at all.

lSt Lonis Republican, III

Nothwithst anding the poetical presump-
tion that every American ri imbibss an
undying affection for republican institutions
at the m Maternal breast, it has become quite
the fashion of late years for those American
girls who are supposed to represent "our
best society" TO marry titled foreigners
whenever they can. Hardly a month passes
without glowing account IN the papers OF
the alliance Of some fair daughter OF the
New World with some arisiocratic scion OF
the Old; the giving away Of some lovely
incarnation of the stars and stripes and uni
versai suffrage, to some youthful or aged
exponent Of monarchisl government and
hereditary nobility. These accounts, hand
somely colored, and perhaps, brilliantly
exaggerated for home consumption, serve
to rouse the envy or the ambition OF other
daughters; and the consequence Is that "a
custom more honored in the bresch than In
the Observance" is increasing much more
rapidly than the public or private interest
seems to demand.

One more word about the intrinsic value
of hard money. Gold bullion is worth $3.50 f;
the metal can be increased in speculative
value TO about $500, and no more. Pig
iron is marketable at less than one cent per
pound bu; iron can be manufactured into
