dissatisfaction with the Presidents sell
out to the rebels In the issue Of last
we find the following articles:
Hard money speeches by the Presi-
dent may be needed in Winchester But
we should have been glad to hear, in
place of all the truths he proclaimed on
Thursday, one clear, distinct, ringing ut
terance declaring the determination Of
the Administration to secure to every
man, in every part of the land, with all
the powers vested in it by the Constitu
ton and the laws, every right the Consti-
tuition gives Such a speech would have
had the merits OF time and occasion. A
missionary to the Marquesas Islands
would not preach to the natives on Ijusti-
fication by faith until he had denounced
to them the wickedness Of Cannibalism."
"sAnd now if President Hayes could find
convenient pretext for extending his autumn
al jOurneyings into South Carolina, it might
improve the condition OF things there, especial
ly were he TO dwell with amiable emphasis on
the necessity of allowing all citizens equal po-
of their political rights.-ICommercial.
"a capital suggestion We commend
it to the attention of the Republican
Congressional Committee, and to tfe
Commercially friend Gorham in particu-
diately in Sumter county. From thence
he should at least extend his campaign
tour through Edgefeld. A joint debate
might, perhaps. be arranged for him with
Hamburg Butler"
The indianapolis Journal remarks
concerning the Presidents Southern pol

sickened at his utter failure We fail
to see any evidence that he is 'sickened.'
We admit however, that it is a necessa-
ry logical inference from the concession
that he is q sincere Republican The
Journal further says: We believe the
great body of the Republicans of the
North sincerely regret his failure. They
cherished the hope all through the North
that when the time of the elections
should come around all classes would be
left free to discuss the issues, and go to
the polls unmolested and exercise
the right of suffrage without fear of in
jury to person, family or estate. Is it
correct that any sagacious Republican.
North or South, ever INDUCED such a
hope, including expectation? There is
not a Republican that would not have
been heartily glad if, contrary to all rea-
sonable hope, the best results had follow
ed the Presidents course But it is no
disappointment that the only results
have been 'sickening failures from the
beginning Any consciousness of this
failure, or of the disgust of sincere Re-
publicans at the betrayal of their cause,
appears never to have disturbed the
peaceful breast of His Serenity in the
White House."
THE UNITED STATES AS HYPOCRITE.
"'The President has taken steps, through the
proper officers, TO have the outrage perpetrated
at Sumter, South Carolina, investigated with a
view of aSceI tanning who is responsible, and
whether or not there has been an open viola
ton of United States laws. District Attorney
Northlup has he case in charge and will, SAID
a member of the Cabinet to your correspond
ent, make an energetic investigation of the out
rage and report the facts promptly
Though the above, which appeared in
our yesterdays issue, is from our own
| correspondent. we are none the less con-
strained to pronounce it-and the flood
of similar stuff which is being poured
out from Washington with a view to
soothing the indignant North-as su-
premely ridiculous. The idea of District
Attorney Northrup doing anything to
protect the rights of Republicans in
South Carolina is an insult to common
sense. He was appointed by the Presi
dent, at the dictation of Wade Hampton
| (these are facts OF record), for the very
purpose that the outrage issue might not
be forced upon the attention of the Gov
ernment H is an ex Secessionist, and
appointed as such, in order that the legal
machinery of the United States should
not conflict with the Hampton method
of retaining South Carolina under Demo
cratic control 1t is in this that we see
the most insidious and censurable feature

ed, so far as in his power lay, the United
States Attorneyships, Marshalships, and
even Judgeships, in the South, in the
by securing peace (sic) by closing the
only avenue through which outraged
freedmen could officially make known
their grievances, and force the United
States to redress them.
"As to the manner in which the scheme
works the following, from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, relating to the outrages in Sumter
county, South Carolina, is a sample o
the abundant evidence afoat:
"'The recent attitude of the Administration
is ridiculed, and the letter of the Attorne.

United States Marshals themselves, although
directed to be present at a meeting in Sumie
county, last Saturday, did not appear there
and have sent 10 report'to the Attorney Gen

by Hampton's aids at public meeting, an

cial correspondents as to the great thing
which the Administration is making u
its mind to get ready to prepare t
