that he had made regular contribution TO the com-

any of his predecessors. Mr. Foster also under

The Southern policy of President Hayes, as
it is called. is no longer a subject of reason
able discussion. He did merely mis- duty. We
do not think he did it in the most skifuI way,
or with much consideration for the In
terests OF the party that gave him
the power. But he dad it, He re-
fused to employ United States troops TO
keep in power gang Of thieves. That some
of them called themselves Republicans did not
seem to him good reason for disregardinR the
Constitution. Because he declined to keep
the thieves in Office and in power, they have
said ugly things about him, and, in their saw
age criticism, have sometimes hit weak
point. But The fact remains that as between

LOUISIANA DEMOCRACY on FINANCE

LOUISIANA DEMOCRACY on FINANCE
It's very remarkable circumstance that not
withstanding the fact that the Louisiana Demo-
Gratis met in convention the other day and for
INFLATED, in q series of vigorous resolutions, a
catalogue Of demands oyerturning and upsetting
pretty much everything in the existing situation,
things continue TO go on about the same as
usual, aud no living soul has paid the slight
est heed TO what the Louisiana Democrats say
they must and will have They demanded
demand is such good word in platforms /;
It has such an Od-fashioned ante-belum
sound; carries one back to the good old days,
and leaves entirely out of account the two un-
important facts that there has been war
and that the Democratic party has been out
of power and not in circumstances to enforce
demands for nearly twenty years-but they
demanded "that the National banking system
abe abolished and National bank-notes re-
"tired, and in lieu thereof that the Govern
"ment of the United States issue an
equal amount of Treasury notes COM
"monly known as greenbacks;" " the
unconditional repeal OF the laws imposing
tax upon the circulation of State banks y
" the immediate and unconditional repeal OF
" the Resumption Act )" '' that the bonds and
obligations of the National Government
should be paid in legal-tender ereenbacks -
and "the repeal Of all laws passed subsequent
" to the original law creating the public debt by
(which obligations of contract have been made
more onerous." 1t will be observed that the
Democrats of Louisiana don't mean TO lose
anything by not demanding it. And yet the
world goes swinging ON, and men do bust
ness and exchange groceries for National
bank notes, and don't seem to realize the
frightfuI fact that unless the Resumption
Act is Immediately repealed-which of
course it can't be without an extra session
of Congress-eYery dollar bill in circulation
will be worth from one quarter TO half cent
more next December than it is to-day. And
they don't seem to miss the good old currency
issued by State banks which have been taxed
out of existence, and which tho Louisiana
Democrats banker after and want to see re-
stored by the repeal Of the tax. It is very
queer that the Louisiana Democrats should
have so little attention paid their demands.
And yet what abundant encouragement
there is in the simple fact that these UNI
questionably competent and able persons have
come forward and tackled the whole sub
ject Of finance in this large and hearty way.
1t may be said that most of the de-
mands made by the Louisiana Democrats are

POLITICAL NOTES

The chances magnify that it will be Tilden and
Thurman next time.
The {" Ohio idea" Is simply the rag baby galvan-
lied into life again and rechrlstened.
Kearney is showing so much devotion that Butler
can do no less than give him the second place on
bis ticket for 1880.
for his devotion to the various forms reputation
embraced in the Ohio idea" Mr.. Cox amply de-
serves it.
Hendricks was pretty nearly exhausted as o Presi-
Dental candidate before. but that last speech has
disposed of HIM utterly. The straddle was so pain
fully apparent that everybody ridicules him.
The way to attack the elections this Fall is to
proceed on the superstition that Republican gains in
the South are almost out Of the question: and to put
the hardest kind OF work into all the close Northern
districts. If few Southern districts happen along
TO swell the majority, why so much the better.
Ex-Governor Palmer's frank criticisms on the II
inois Democrats have stirred up lively breeze in
that State. The Democratic press sets him down
fatty as an avowed enemy of his party, and says he
has no more right tospeak for the 200 900 Democrats
OF Illinois than Zamiel has to speak for eonQrega-
ton Of saints The trouble with the Governor is
that his Republican antecedents created IN him a
habit of telling the truth-and truth always acts
like rcd rag on the untamed Democracy.
Colonel Henry N. Hoyf. the Republican candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, estimates the
strength OF the Nationals in his State at 100 900,
instead OF the 100000 votes their leaders claim.
He tells Che Editor Of The Rochester Express that he
thinks the new party will draw mora heavily from
tho Democrats than from the Republicans He
never saw the Republican party in more effective
fghtng order or better organized than IL IL to-day.

it does not in any way touch the power to
pay for property taken or destroyed oy me
United States, or any person acting IN It's
name, nor to restore property destroyed in the
progress of war by the joint action OF both
forces, nor to refund the cotton tax, nor TO
pay for property seized, captured or abandoned
after the war, nor for supplies and rents OF
buildings Examination of the long list, else
where given, of claims now pending at WASH
ington, shows that not a single class or variety
is affected by the section cited, unless it be by
the prohibition of payment for slaves enamel
pated.
But whatever scope or Interpretation may
be given to the amendment will matter little
if Democrats gain full control. 1t is notorl-
Gus fact that the Solid South has steadily in
sisted that ratification of this amendment was
gained by duress and fraud. that it never was
duly adopted, and is entirely void. 1t is
amazing impudence in Mr.. Voorhees,, inasmuch
as he has been one of the most violent and
extreme men in this opinion, to set up at this
late day, as a safe barrier to Democratic
legislation, an amendment which, at the
head of so many Democrats, he has so
often denounced as void. In fact, there IS
one chance of defence against the threatening
avalanche of Southern jobs and claims. That
is to take care that the Republican party has
ample power. The elections this Fall would
appear to the people immeasurably more inn
portant if they could fully realize the temper
and the demands of the Solid South, or the
subserviency of the Northern Democracy.

General Merritt made such a good Naval Officer
and Surveyor, that he ought 10 be allowed to prove
himself an equally good Collector, If he can, with
ont being subjected ut the start to unjust criticism.
Somebody has misled The BHlletiR INTO charging
that the Collector has been making wholesale re-
movals Il was even said editorially that most of
the officers who have done the really inn
portant work have been swept away, and
their places taken by men whom 1t will
take years to qualify properly. The Collector has
made the double mistake OF failing to appreciate
the quality Of the work done by the old officers and
of supposiug that it could be properly done by
novices" Now the facts are that Collector Merritt
did not swear Mr.. LydeelIer in again among the
Deputy Collectors, for what seemed to him good
reasons, and that Collector Arthurs private secre-
tary resigned and these are all the removals
that he has made in the Custom House II was
quite as much of blunder to hold General Merritt
responsible for the Appraisers Department, with
which he has nothing to do.

The Judge said he believed the inS
