The Southern Policy.
PRESIDENT HAYES INCLINED TO BELIEVE IT
FAILURE.


WAsHINGToN, Nov. lathe National
Republican publishes the following Very
naturally, in view of the Democratic con-
duct of the late campaign i'll the Southern
States. the President has been frequently
interviewed by leading Republicans from all
S~sui'Ts e the country, and especially from
the south. The fact that the Democrats of
that section have violated all the pledges
made to him to accord TO the blacks their
rights and privileges of citizenship, and
have thereby robbed the r. publican party
of its due proportion of representation in
the next House, has prompted these inter
views, the ultimate design being to urge the
President to exhaust the legitimate resource
OF his office in bringing the perpetrators of
these great crimes to justice, but the Presi-
dent, in his utterancPs at these inter views,
has carefully and persistently refused to
take partisan view of the situation. His
attention was called yesterday to an
editorial paragraph in the morning
National Republican, announcing that
the Southern situation would be earnestly
discussed at the regular Cabinet meeting
To this he replied: That is a mistake. The
time tor discussion has passed. 1t is now
100 late for anything but the most deter
mind and vigorous action. This determi-
nation was reached several days ago, and
the deliberations of the Cabinet on this sub
iect since then nave been com paratively
brief and confined mainly to the considera-
ton of the duty of the Attorney General in
the premises
To these remarks the interviewer replied
approvingly, and then asked the President
how he accounted for the result of solid
South in face of the pledges of fair dealing
by the leading southern Democrats.
The Pre>ident-'That question leads di
rectly to discussion of what has been lat
terly termed the Southern policy of the ad-
ministratiOn. When that policy was inaug
urated it with an earnest desire to con-
cilate the Southern leaders, tn round off the
sharp angles of sectional differences and
soften the asperities of political strife. No
one will deny that the attempt to enforce
this policy was most earnestly made, nor
that il was carried out with conscientious
desire to accom- plish the result for which it
had been inaugurated. OF the personal and
partisan sacrifices | made in this effort, and
of the consequent interruption OF certain
relations which previously existed betw cen
myself and some of my supporters. L have
nothing to say just now, but it appears that
the leaders who m ade those pledges either
did not exert themselves to keep them or
were unable to do so. In fact, am reluc-
family forced to admit that the experiment
was failure The first election of impor-
tance held since it was attempted has proved
that elections with free suffrage for every
voter in the South, are an impossibility
under the existing condition of things.

what Secretary Evarss Says.

Regarding the result in the South he re-
GREETED very much that single Republican
representative had not been elected.
"There area said he t'five millions OF coll
ored Republicans and two millions of
white Republicans in the South, and it is a
disgrace that these 1000 900 of people
should be without representation in Con-
gress." There were districts, he added, in
which it was known that the Republicans
b I'd large majorities, and yet they were not
permitted to peacefully vote for their can
didates. he had hopes, however, that this
would be changed In due time.

Spanish P~eculiarities.

Many facts relating to foreign
countries, which strike Americans
as being curious to a degree, reach
us from time to time. A Spanish
soldier, we are told, will fight for a
week on an empty stomach provided
he can look forward to playing his
guitar on the seventh day. In his
country, if a bull intended for the
fight falls i'll, the animal is sent to
an infirmary. The chief toreador
has a fortune of two million
francs; his combat costume repre-
sents one hundred thousand francs
III diamonds alone; he is courted by
the highest society in Madrid, is a
member of the chief aristocratic
club; yet his wife is a fish-monger's
daughter, and still helps her moth
er IN the market. On days when
her husband performs she sits at
her balcony with her children to
receive couriers, who come on horse
back waving a white flag as a sign
of ucces in the arena. The ac-
count of how a titled lady in Rus
STA has discovered to her cost the
penalties of expressing in too en-
phatlc a manner her disapproval of
her governess' behavior, will, if
true, convey a curious idea Of some
social customs in that country. The
Princess Manwelloff had a habit
OF striking her governess, a lady of
noble birth, and the latter COM
planned of her to the local justice.
In this instance, the law was a res

A Righteous Ruling.

The Supreme Court of North
Carolina has recently made a de-
cision to which we respectfully IN
yite the attention of the bar and
bench of Philadelphia. In the
case of Coble vs.. Coble, the court
held that ."where the Judge per-
mitted the plaintiff counsel IN u
civil ase to wantonly berate and
Willy a defendant in his speech to
the jury, it was sufficient ground to
give the defendant a new trial"
This is righteous ruling. Parties
defendant will be astonished to find
hat they have some undreamed of
rights which have been pluckcd
from the depths like drowned
honor.

Why Ladies are Called
Ducks.

Because they are not all tame.
Because there is a good deal of
sport to be got out Of the wild ones.
Because they may be captured.
Because they may be sold. Because
as proved by the results of the pub
lie examinations, they may be
plucked. Because, as we can see
IN the illustrated newspapers, they
may be drawn. Because they may
be beautl ully done, a good deal Of
butter being usually employed in
the process. Because they are Of
ten well-basted. Because they are
always dressed in some fashion for
dinner. Because they have long
bills. Because there are ALWAYS
plenty of them in the market.

Medical use of Salt.

In many cases of disOrdered
stomach a teaspOonful of salt is a
certain cure. In the violent inter-
nal aching, termed collie, add a
teaspoonful of salt to a pint of cold
water, drink it and go to bed; it is
one of the speediest remedies
known. The same will revive a
person who seems almost dead from
receiving a very heavy fall, etc.
In an apopletic fit no time should
be lost in pouring down salt water,
if sufficient sensibility remains to
allow of swallowing; if not, the
head must be sponged with cold
water until the returns, when
salt will completely restore the pa
tient from his lethargy.
In a fit the feet should be placed
in warm water, with mustard ad-
ded, and the legs briskly rubbed,
all bandages removed from the
neck, and a cold apartment procur-
ed if possible. In many cases of
bleeding at the lung, when other
remedies failed, DR.. Rush found
two teaspoonfuls of salt completely
stayed the blood.
In cases of bite from a mad dog,
wash the part with strong brine
for an hour, then bind on some salt
with a rag.
In toothache, warm salt and
water held to the part, and renew
ed two or three or four times, will
relieve in most S If the gums
be affected, wash the mouth with
brine. If the teeth be covered with
tartar, wash twice a day with salt
and water. In swelled neck, wash
the part with brine, and drink
it twice a day, also until cured.
Salt will expel worms, if used IN
the food in moderate degree, and
aids digestion, but salt meat is IN
furious if used much.

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side. 1t Is
the right side. The times may be
hard. but it will make them no
easier to wear a gloomy and sad
countenance. 1t is the sunshine
and not the cloud that gives beauty
to the flower. There is always be-
tore or around us that which should
cheer and fill the heart with warmth
and gladness. The sky is blue ten
times where it is black once. You
have troubles, it may be. So have
others. None are free from them !;
and perhaps it is we'll that none
could be. They give sinew and
tone 10 life, fortitude and courage
TO man. That would be IA dull sea,
and the sailor would never acquire
skill, where there is nothing 20 dis
turb its surface. 1t is the duty OF
everyone to extract all the happl-
ness and enjoyment he cal within
and without him ]; and, above all,
he should look on the bright side.
What though things do look a little
dark : The longest lane will turn,
and the night will end IN broad
day. Lin the long run, the great
balance rights itself. What appears
III becomes well-that which APP
pears wrong, right. Men are not
made to hang down their heads or
lips, and those who do only show
that they are departing from the
paths of true common sense and
right. There is more virtue in one
sunbeam than in a whole hemis-
phere of clouds and gloom. There
fore, we repeat, look on the right
side. Cultivate all that is warm
and genial-not the cold and repul-
siye, the dark and morose.

selves at a beautiful country resi-

rounded by extensive fields of luxu-
RANT cotton and the richest corn.
Several hundred joined US in II
anticipated jubilee, and the Young,
the happy, and the gay danced to
the music that thrilled the halls of
that hospltable mansion. Merry
voices echoed through the different
apartments, and noisy children
played out IN the cool shade. Down
to the mill ut the foot of the hill
each OF Us took our friends and
watched the snowy meal silently
grinding, sitting and boiling and
tumbling into the neat chest. Near
by, out IN some shady nook here
and there, sat a merry group,
dropping the hook and line, and
with loud laughter jerking the sill
very fish ashore.
The boats were light and free,
and near the miller's door our short
but pleasant voyage began. We
steered our way up the smooth
stream, returning
"Under the hanging limbs of the will

Never dreaming nor thinking of the
raging pillows"
Below us fell the wasting water
over the dam, tossing and foaming,
ripping and roaring as if trying to
initiate the famous Niagara, as we
saw 1t from the bridge. Virginia,
North Carolina, Arkansas and Ala
Dallla were we'll represented. nQer
the trees near the well in the
bachelors yard, the long table was
spread, %groaning under the burden
of rich and varied luxuries, pre-
pared by the fair hands of his lady
friends for this important occasion.
The aged and infirm, the venerable,
both young men and maidens, and
prattling children, all enjoyed in
the superlative this delicious repast.
Dinner being over, music was
again heard in the halls and dane
ing and chatting continued to be
the order of the passing day. Late
in the afternoon we left this man
sion with the solitary inmate
standing in front of the veranda,
watching each vehicle as it rolled
away with a favorite, leaving him
to mediate upon the pleasures of
the day, and convincing him Of the
vanity of all earthly things, plainly
showing ''how blessings brighter
as they take their flight"

by Gov. SWAIN, TO be the best at
that time IN the State. He had a
law school, and in the absence OF
ordinary schools, some Of his law
students usually taught his chill
dren. Andrew j ckson came hitb-
er, as an applicant for ADMISSION, but
circumstances of a domestic nature
compelled Col. Avery to refuse to
receive him. Col. Avery's eldest
daughter never forgot Jackson's
personal appearance and what a re-
lief 1t was to her childish mind to
lind that he was not going to remain
in the family to become her tutor.
At that day the dress Of the gentle
man was exceedingly artistic and
elaborate, and Col. Avery carried
through life the fastidious habits
which early training had made
necessary to his comfort. He wore
his hair IN "a queue, linen cambria
frllls at wrists and hos IN, heavy
silver buckets fastened to his shoes
and carriers he wore knee breeches,
and long silk stockings, and coats
with the strait collar. Jackson's
appearance, as described by the lit
tie girl who was afraid that her
fathers receiving him as a law stu
dent, would necessarily install him
in the position of tutor to herself,
"a in striking contrast to all this
old time elegance. Poor fellow he
was zone the less a gentleman on
account of his brown linsey suit
and blue yarn stockings, but the
little ladies couldn't see it. Jack
son was proud and sensitive, and
this refusal CALLED him to the quick.
Years afterwards when he met Col.
Avery at the bar, he showed his re-
sentiment by outbursts of temper,
and it ended in the duel in which
Col. Avery behaved with such no.
bic magnanimity: standing uphim,
self to be shot at, but firing into
the air, rather than take the life of
the impetuous youth, who deliber-
ately fired at him. Jackson's dis
like evaporated, us usual, with the
smoke of his pistol, and he ever
afterwards seemed to feel for Col.
Avery the most cordial esteem.
After he became President, he said
there was no men living, for whom
he had greater respect" Duelling,
in all of its forms, is horrible, and
Andrew Jackson's duels, stand out,
in the chequered drama of his life,
like scenes of fire and blood from
pandemonium. Col. Avery owned
more than a hundred thousand
acres of land in various tracts. The
home place, Swan Ponds, is still
owned (but much curtailed in ex
tent by his only living grandson,
Major (now judge A. c. Avery.
He is said to have been tall, ovel
six feet in height, and to have
strikingly resembled his grandson,
the late Waightstill w. Avery, OF
Morganton.
