The Cipher Dispatches and Congress

1t has been the hope of Democrats
that the revelations made by trans
lated cipher dispatches would cease
to have Importance after the election.
''They were made in order to "affect
the election" said Democrats, ''and
"nOW will be allowed to die out of
memory" This notion will be found
entirely mistaken. The facts were
not made known with a view to serve
the purpose Of any party in any elec-
ton, nor with an expectation that
very great immediate effect could be
produced by their disclosure. They
have more permanent meaning, for
they teach, Il the degree of honesty
and sincerity which prevails in the
Democratic party; ~ the necessity
of holding political parties to more
rigid responsibility for the acts of
their agents, committees, leaders and
candidates and (3) the necessity of
Immediate changes in the mode of
electing a President. Particularly
for the latter reason, public opinion
ought to be throughly aroused. 1t
can no longer be tolerated that one
man may have it in his power to sell
out a nation. Corruption is bad
enough at the best, and dangerous
enough. But it must seem little less
than miracle, to any upright and
intelligent citizen, that the defects
of our present machinery of govern
ment have not resulted before this in
a sale of the Presidency at auction.
The people can be trusted. But the
individuals whom they select are not
always honest or true,
For the present, the immediate
necessity is to concentrate public
opinion upon the conduct of the
Democratic party its agents in 1876.
The matter will not die out. Let no
one lay that fiattering JUNCTION to his
soul. Congress will be compelled
either to shield or formally to expose
the criminals. We shall see how
many members are disposed to hide
a truth because it happened to hurt
their party. The pettifogging eva
sions of newspaper cards and Inter
views'' will give place to the sworn
testimony and the searching cross
examination. Men who have cheaply
denied things in print will be invited
to answer where a false declaration
may lead to Jail. PERHAPS the con-
scienceless journalists who have
made bold to assert that some dis
patches ''must be forgeries," may
haye to testify on what ground, if
any, they are accustomed to base ed
itorial statements. In short, the
country will probably have a fair
opportunity this Winter of learning
precisely what Reform" means in
Democratic mouths, and what lead
ing Democrats are willing to see
Reform" promoted by the bribery
of officials. The subject will not be
dropped quite so soon as many De -
ocrats would like To have it, they
may rest assured. ". y. TibUpe.

From all parts of the country re.
ports come Of the immense sales and
Increasing demand for that desery-
lngly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable STANDARD" the
price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced to $50, including all the at
tachmentS, and at once secured for
them a popularity among the peo-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
Ell by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the STANDARD" Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outsell
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead of all others in beauty and
durability of its work, ease of man
agement, light running and certainty
OF operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work.
lnS parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of a
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular. that will outlast
any Machine, and at a price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
orderfree of charge. And sent to any
part Of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment of
the bill. We can predict equally as
large Il demand for them in this
section as in others. Families desir-

seize the chance should apply for SO

President Hayes and his Policy

WASHINGTON, November II. -
The Star this afternoon prints the
! following semi official statement {:
Two positions of great importance
in the politics Of the country have,
within the past few days, been as
signed the President. One, that he
has abandoned the Southern policy.
the other that h has, by giving way
in that policy, brought about a ''rec-
onciliation" between the Admins
tration and the so-called stalwart
wing Of the Republicans, of the ele-
ments Of which have been, since the
inauguration of the cOnciliation pol
icy, alienated from him. Both OF
these statements are either untrue or
are given an improper coloring. AS
to the reported change of policy re-
garding the South there is nOthi q
in it. The method OF dealing with
the Southern States which the Preei.
dent has seen fit to pursue is the
same now as it was when Inaugural
ted. This policy was in no respect
whatever an experiment" The
President considered and still con
siders it matter Of duty to see that
in administering the laws of the
land the constitutional rights of ev-
cry citizen in every portion of the
country usually and alike should be
fully respected and guarded. 1t is
pretty generally conceded that the
South under bayonet rule was not
enjoying the free government youch-
safed it by the Constitution. To re-
move that rule was duty the Pres
ident considered as devolving upon
him, and it was accordingly served.
He has gone on with the determina-
nation of securing, as far as lay in
his power, that every citizen shall be
protected in TIE full and flee exercise
of all his rights and privileges. With
this determination he has coupled a
very strong desire not to use the mil
itary branch of the government, ex-
cept to quell insurrection and put
down riots. All violations of the
law should, he has always held, and
still holds, be punished by civil pro-
cesse5 if possible. Therefore, when
it was leared prior to the recent e,ec
tions that Republican voters at the
notably in South Carolina,
Louisiana and Alabama would be in
| terfered with in the exercise of their
franchise rights, the Attorney Gen
eral ordered the United States Dis.
trict Attorney for those States to see
that all violators of the law in this
respect were promptly arrested and
brought to trial; and after the elec-
tions, Notwithstanding the advances
/ for compromise from those arrested,
/ the Attorney General was last Satur-
day instructed to prosecute offenders
to the utmost limits of the law.
Neither of these instructions could
be regarded as ga change of policy"
They were but the carrying QUE OF

the Presidents determination to see
that the laws are enforced every
where. The statement that the Pres
ldent has recently said that he had
tried the plan of conciliation and
found 1t a complete failure is untrue.
The President has never made such a
statement. 1t is true that he does
not think that the South has fespon-
ded as it should to his good iDten-
tions, but nevertheless he does not
intend to change in any manner the
course of his administration upon
this account. This course, as has pre-
viously been said, is moi 4 South IN

been reconciliation between the
Administration and the dissatisfied
leaders of the Republican party, it
may be stated that in order that
there might be "a reconciliation" as
the phrase is, it would be necessary
that the President should come at
least partially to the way of thinking
held by leaders Of theparty to which
he is to be reconciled. The Presi-
dent has never seen any reason why
he should cease to do his duty. be-
cause some portion of his party were
dissatisfied with his methods. He
has always desired and still desires
that the utmost harmony should eX-
ist in the party. If leaders of the
party after interchanging views with
him see that they have misunder-
stood his course and conduct, and
think tlat it would be good that past
differences should be heated, the
President is ready to respond heart
lily. That such is the case is no
doubt true, and the party which cleo
ted the President to office is certain
ly now, with few exceptions, ready,
as Representative White, of Penn
sylvania says, to "lo0k to future re-
suits and forget the effect of the past
with its past differences" If this is
reconciliation, well and good

In summing up the causes for the
Republican victory. due thanks
should be given to the valiant service
of the Potter Committee. Next to
the cipher disclosures the Grand
Combination Exhibition of fImbeciles
and Truth Shatterers probably did
more to defeat the Democrats than
any other one cause. The commit
tee demonstrated that 1t was impos-
sible to find any Republican fraud,
and that even the most cautious IRE
form" investigator was unable to do
days work without taking the
cover off a Democratic villany or
two.

Ex-Governor Curtin owes his de-
feat in Pennsylvania to the mistrust
OF the Democracy. They were afraid
he had not sufficiently forgotten his
old Republican principles. and so
they stayed away from the polls and
let him be defeated. The Democrat
ic candidate for Governor in that dis
trict received majority of 1000, yet
Curtin is beaten by 269 votes. Mr..
Curtin must be conyinced by this
that he is by all odds too respectable
a gentleman ever to make an accep-
table Democrat. The unwashed do
not like him and never will.

Business About to Improve.
New York Herald, 3d.J


The immediate future is full OF promise.
On every hand mems energies, SO long pa
ralyzed, are reviving. Want and distress
have sensibly stimulated the enterprise and
skill Of our people. Economy in all branches
Of government, State and Federal, is the
rule and no longer the exception. A great
er number Of men are willing to work for a
living than at any time since the war, and
farmers and skiliul and industrious mechan-
les in all parts Of the country are earning q
living. Few men are making rapid for
tunes, and speculation has undoubtedly
received blow; but faithful, punctual,
honest, and skilful labor is already getting
the moderate reward with which it was sat.
isfed before 1850. tits curious sign OF
the times that in many OF our cities house.
building has recommended, but the houses
are mostly small and inexpensive. Finally,
there is little doubt that II the people who
now cry out about the severe pressure oil
| the times and demand o new imitation could
be examined it would be found that they
consist almost entirely OF two classes
tramps, and spectators who bought at the
| top OF an inflated market and are suffering
the results OF their incautious ventures
But no &gisiation can, help these two
| classes.
