HAYES ON SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.
Washington telegraphic advices inform
the country that r. B. Hayes, the radical
presidential fraud, will report to congress an
elaborate review of southern election trou-
bles. Fortified by reports of radical agents
specially appointed to make out cases of
great perfidy, though official lying be neces.
sary, Hayes will probably accom-
plish his part of the concocted
scheme to perfection. Incidents, in them
selves unimportant subjected to political
microscopic investigation, will be magnifed
until they loom up as horrors of the first
magnitude, all OF which will be done to fire
the northern heart and obscure radical ras-
cality. The subject is eminently suggestive,
famous proceedings by which Hayes
occupies his present position the
date of which is so recent
that they have lost none of their vivid vii
lainy by the lapse of time. Every word that
Hayes may utter relative to southern cleo
ton outrages will recall the history Of radl.

him; perjuries, like kissing serpents, will
crawl forth from their hiding places
and denounce HIM; frauds almost Innu-
merable will confront him. aud the fact that
the thrice damned scoundrels who occupy
federal offices conferred by Hayes as rewards
of their crimes, will completely overwhelm
him with condemnation. He can no more
escape from these things than a cobra can
shed its fangs or a leopard change its spots.
No criminal in his dungeon was ever more
surrounded with darkness than Hayes is with
infamy, and the devil reproving sin is an
appropriate illustration OF Hayes condemn
ing southern election outrsges. This fact
will appear in all OF its haggard-
ness when the Potter commit
tee reports to congress the results
of its investigations. That report will be

will shake the political fabric from center to
