HOW THE MESSAGE Is REGARDED.

The public press throughout the country
has almost without exception published and
commented upon the Presidents message
and so far rs our observation extends no
state paper of equal importance for years
has encountered so little severe criticism
The Republican journals, with great una
nimity, have referred to it in q kind
spirit and favorable tone. Not word of
unfriendly denunciation or even of harsh
criticism has come under our observation in
scanning a large number of Republican
papers scattered over the country. The
Democratic press make wry faces at the
message, but their criticisms are confined to
that portion which relates to the rank in
Justice exercised toward Republicans in the
Southern States, and they are Of weak,
pettifogging order, that, at the worst, at
tempt TO justify general wrong in the
South under an assumption that similar i'll
huences are brought to bear upon
voters in limited localities at the North.
This is a weak invention, which the Demo-
Gratis themselves do not treat with anything
more than hollow show of seriousness.
They know there is nothing in 1t, and they
only resort to il to gratiiy their bull-dOZing
brethren at the South, who are chatting
greatly under that peculiar feature of the
message, because it touches them on the
raw. The only objection raised by the
southern press against it is its presentation
of the late election wrongs in that section
in such truthful and Just terms that they
cannot be met aud answered, and which
must stand as undisputcd and undisturbed
history. This message reflects great credit
upon the moderation and justice of the
President, and brings him higher need of
all his official efforts put together since he
entered the executive chair
National Republican., 1878-12-06
THE PuEsIDESr,s MESSAGE.

The Albany ErCning Journal says of the
message: "There is nothing in it for criti-
cism. 1t will excite no controversies
among Republicans; it should excite
none among patriots of any party If it
encounters Democratic assaults it only
proves the perversity of their PARTISAN
ship" II adds:
Southern question. On this subject the Presi-
dent talks out In temperate and self.contain ned
but firm aud decided terms The people of
the country will welcome this attitude which
Is more In harmony with their feeling and their
sense of public duty. The President speaks
like u man somewhat trammeled by past
position, but at the same tno like one who
feels that his confidence has been misplaced
and abused. lie trusted the good faith of the
South. lie looked for generosity in return for
generosity. lie gave a free hand and counted
on free hand back. His policy was an act
and a iRith-the act is past and irrcdccmablc,
and tho faith Is shaken. So much of the
policy as turned on the decision between the
local governments Is irreversiDlc; so much of
it as rested on confidence in tho honor and
fairness of the ruling forces in the South can
bo changed. The President finds that his
trust should have been mistrust, and he
plainly says so.
His condemnation is uuimpassioned and ju
dicial it comes from one whose bias and com
initials were on the other side; and 1t is all the
more forcihlc aud impressive on this account.
He docs not assail the South he indulges in
no bitterness OF yituperatOn he th calm and
mid but he speaks the simple truth. He
secs the crimes against free speech and free
suffrage, and firmly reprobates them. No fair
minded man in the country can take issue
with his tone OF his declarations; no honorable
man in the South it'elf can resent them. In
the presence of great public exigcncy, involv-
ing the rights and the liberties of the people,
no simply meet his obligations as the Chief
Magistrate of tho nation. He wants no new
laws; hO only wants the means to execute the
laws already on the statute book, aud let us see
whether uny party will be insane enough to
deny them. We hail tho Presidents utter
Rnce5 on this commanding question, and the
Republicans of tho cOuntry--we trust all pa.

he feeble Of mind, would probable reduce
him to the deplorable mental condition as
cribed 10 the hermit Of Oregon. The At
torney-General gave an opinion which
seemed to the passing reader at the time to
establish beyond question Mr.. REEDS title
10 seat in the Fire Board. Now comes the
JACK BuNsBY of the District government
and gives an opinion "as is an opinion"
Those who were inclined to believe in the
soundness of the Attorney Generals con-
cisely-stated opinion will be dazed, con-
fused, confounded with the glitter of legal
gencrlities and the labyrinths Of JACK
BUNsBY's involved sentences. He not only
proves that Mr.. REED has no title, but, dis
porting like huge porpoise proud of its
size and powers in the worly sea Of law and
logic, he goes further, and shows that Mr..
REED never was fire commissioner, and
never could have been one. After reading
this opinion, It seems strange that Mr..
REED even dared 10 assert that he ever was
a fire commissioner.
If another thousand or two were added to
the attorneys salary, in which event, OF
course, the public would have right to ex-
pect still more wonderful legal feats, 1t
would not be at all surprising If it were
proved not only that Mr.. REED never was a
fire commissioner, but that there never was
Mr. REED at all except in the imagination
of few dcluded individuals. This sort Of
legal extinguishment would undoubtedly
be highly useful to the executive officers Of
the District when they are bothered to know
how to rid themselves of too Jealous Off
cial, and If our hint is adopted 1t may not
be long before the doughty attorney will be
gratiied with another increase in his pay.

THE House Committee on Appropriations
have reported four of the twelve general
appropriation bills and two Ct them have
already passed the House and gone to the
Senate. Under ordinary circumstances it
might be questioned whether II is wise to
rush these bills through without proper
conference with the administrative officers
Of the Government and careful considera-
tion by the committee and the House ; but,
in view of the present constitution of the
two Houses, the course is dorbtless wise one.

adopted by the committee on sight, hacks

the commerce of the United States. II Is
as well, under the circumstances, that
these bills be rushed through the House, rs
1t will afford the Senate committees and
the Senate more time for careful and in-
telligent consideration of them.

MOT nrcArsr WE WANTED To-"

The JHginid Star is in very unhappy
frame of mind Not long ago we called at
tenton to the fact, since then most emphat-
ically reiterated in the recent message of
President HAYES, that the Southern BOur-
bons, by absorbing the increase OF represcn-
tation consequent upon the war amend
ments to the Constitution, had pcrpetrated
a great political theft, because they do not
allow the blacks, upon whose votes that in
crease is based, to participate in national
elections At this our Old Coifee-Pot CO.
temporary grew wrnthy and boasted that
the North meaning the General Govern
ment) will be compelled TO submit to the
representation of this disfranchised ele-
"ment in the national councils until it
can legally rid itself of it, which, the Star
adds ait can never do without the aid Of a
"portion of the South, and that 1t will
never get" But to show the true spirit of
this emincntly representative conservative
journal in the sham Conservative State of
Virginia we further quote from it as fol-
lows.
II required two-thirds vote Of all the
States of the Union to enfranchisc that ele-
ment" and II will require similar vote to do
away with 1t. We helped you create this "elc-
ment," not because we wanted to, but because
you forced us to It with the bayonct. That
instrument Of torture having gone out Of fash
ion, and being no longer welded so poten'
italy, We propose that you submit with beconf-
ing grace to the plIysic you prepared for us.
Not because he wanted to" is the perth
-, L., .lanI,r,tin,, x.,h;pl, hn-
trays the true inspiration of Bourbonism,
and at the same time admits the truth of all
our assertions regarding the existence of q
bull.dozing animus In the South This ad-
mission being accepted, it follows naturally
that bull-dozing in all its various forms has
been carried into practice in that section
in Virginia in the mider forms, and in
South Carolina and Louisiana In the DEM
onstratiOns Of rifle clubs, White Lcaguers,
and downright assassination. The logic of
all this is that the bayonet, which was legit-
imately used TO force the South to accept
the constitutional amendments, must yet be
used in the same way 10 enforce their pro-
visions not rs an instrument of torture by
any means, but as n powerful
and sufficient agency Of justice. In
other words, the South must again
be subjected with becoming grace, the
best it can command, to the physic it has
prepared for itself by its dishonesty in re-
fusing to abide by the results of its appeal
to arms. This is no vain nor empty threat,
and although its execution may be long de-
layed, The time will come when its fulfill
ment will be acknowledged. The more the
question is discussed the more certain this
result, for when it is discussed the inevitable
consequence is the exposure, as in this in
stance, of the hollowness OF Southern Demo-
cratic loyalty to our changed governmental
system. 1t Is by such betrayals that the
loyal North is being educated out of the
channels of Gush and jug-handled, imbecile,
Liberalism into which portion of the Re-
publican party strayed in '72-76

tect HILL from active duty pending
the indictment that has been found
assigned for this act is a point that has
been raised by the prosecution that 1t is
not proper for an indicted person to have

point; but one thing is evident, if Mr.

must needs be when taken in that quarter.
Bull-dozing, persecution, and murder are rs
potent agencies of dsfranchsement as the
