Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, says
President Hayes will find nothing &C.
curing in the South to justify any
abandonment of his Southern policy or
departure from it. Mr.. Lamar says the
election in Mississippi was as peaceable
as any election in the world could be,
and there was no organization of the
democratic party in the State. He says
the South is more solid in favor of self
preservation than divided as to national
politics. In regard to the next presi-
dency, Mr.. Lamar says no man in the
nation is more honored and beloved in
the South than Senator Bayard, of Del

Enthusiastically supported by the Southern
people as Hendricks or Thurman, il

GRAY FROM GRIEF.-The Wythe-
vile Enterprise says that Mr.. VIM. A..
Belew, of Grenada, Miss, formerly of
Botetourt county, Va, arrived in that
place Sunday and presents a sad in
stance of the effects Of grief in changing
the color of his hair and beard. Mr..
Belew lost his wife from fever at Grand
Junction, Miss, as she was en- route to
this place, and added to this his four
children, brother and nurse we're fever
stricken and he remained with and
nursed them all through safely. The
subject of this notice is about SO years
of age, and his hair and beard, unmix-
ed by gray previous to his great grief
and care of mind, is now of a color be-
fitting one Of SO years. seniority, and this
great change was wrought in the short
space of two months. 5ss l-- sEs5

The CRADLE AND THE GRAVE Our
brother of the Petersburg Post makes q
hit-a very decided one-in the follow
ing paragraph IN his paper:
During our civil war the Confederates
were charged with having to .rob the
cradle and the grave" to recruit theiI
armies. That was nearly the truth. But
we are glad to observe that, since the
close of the war, all the robbing of era
dies ofliving children and graves of dead
men's bones have been confined exclu-
sively to the North and West !
The kidnapping of poor Charley Ross
and other infants, and the daring rob-
berry of the graves of Colonel Harrison,
of Ohio and A. T. Stewart, of New York,
presents the horrifying picture in its
true colors. No such atrocious crimes
as either of those have been heard of in
any portioniof the South. Tn9H

- YET ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
"A fact that seems to have escaped gem
-eral attention is the leaving of party
of explorers from indianapolis for the
North pole. They intend.to proceed to
the Red River of the North and descend
said river as far as Pembina. There a
smaller steamer will carry the exploring
party as far north as navigation will
permit. They will then proceed as best
they can to Fort York, on the west side
Of Hudson Bay, in about So degrees
north latitude. At this point they will
put their boats together, carried in sec
tious, and push as far north as 80 de-
grees before going into winter quarters.
The Governor General of Canada, it is
understood, has received instructions
from the home government in Great
Britain to aid the expedition in every
possible way. A band of fifty tried Es-
quimaux trappers and fishermen are en-
gagged to accompany the explorers, thor
oughly equipped for the voyage with
trained dogs, sledges, reindeer, &c. : !.
Gen. g. T. Beauregard. according to a
fpurported interview in the New York
Sun, thinks that with "wise counsels, a
broader statesmanship, and a stronger
and more vigorous administration at the
seat of the Confederate government"
the result ofthe late civil war might
have been very different. Gen. Beau
regard is represented as declaring that
in 1861 the Confederate government had
the chance to buy six first class English
steamers. He urged the authorities to
improve it, but they thought the wal
| would not last long enough to make it
| worth while. Later, he was for attack
ing the blockading Federal fleets with
torpedo boats, but again his advice was
overruled. At the beginning of the wal
he urged the formation of companies Of
colored laborers, to be turned into sol
diers if necessary, and to be rewarded
with their freedom and with PENSIONS
In 1864 he found that Gen Lee was OF
the same mind. But this policy was not
adopted until it was too late to carry il
out. st s..ss,. ...s .ss,.i

1t was only short time ago that the
"roughs" of Evansville, indiana, made
an assault upon the colored people O
that town, and drove out of it all ofthen
they didn't kill. The presence of a few
others, who accompanied visiting
military company to that town. in thu
capacity of servants, aroused the ire o
the same set last week, and they Were
only prevented from a repetition of thei
former murderous violence by the arm
ed interference of the soidiers. Som,
people may think it strange that Fresi
dent Hayes has not sent for the U. s
district attorney and marshal of Indiana
ordered them to be vigorous in thu
punishment of the Offenders, and in
structed them to the effect that the at
fidavit of an irresponsible and purchas
able negro will be sufficient warrant fol
the arrest and imprisonment OF the mos
respectable citizen of Evansville and it
neighborhood, but such persons are no
"well up" in geography. Tsr &

been condemned to death, had his right

Tortured by thirst, he called for some

The PRESIDENTS "PoLICY."--The
bloody.shirt politicians will not be sable
to derive much consolation from Mr.
Evart's carefully worded declarations. =
These, as being premeditated and spok-
en- with authority, have more import
ance that usually attaches to such "in>
terviews." Mr.. Evarts says that to talk
of change in the Presidents southern
policy is ito fall into a popular error
and use popular phrase illustrative of
the methods of political managers, but
not applicable to the present admistra-
ton in the conduct of its official af-
fairs" The President, he said, never
had policy; he has. simply done his
duty under the constitution and with
out attempting any experiments. As
for the .'outrages," if any have been
perpetrated. they will be punished, not
by dragonnades, but by due process Of
law. The acts of violence which are
complained of, Mr.. Evarts thinks, are
restricted pretty much to South Caro-
lima and Louisiana. They will be re-
pressed if the law can repress them
The idea of force and arms is repug-
nant to the people of the North, and
Mr.. Evarts seems to think that the re-
publican party has been saved by the
persistence of Mr.. Hayes in refusing to
employ the means which were SO famil-
/ lar to General Grant. In his own Ian
guage, he considers it 'providential that
| matters have shaped themselves 80 as to
place this obnoxious question of force
out of politics." and he well added that

Mr.. FBEECHER HAS A GOOD WORD
FOR CATHOLICS AT Plymouth Church
on Sunday morning last, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher read notice in relation
to fair to be held in order to raise
money to build q new hospital in Brook
lyn to be managed by Sisters of Charity,
to be non sectarian like the institutions
now in the hands of the same parties,
and to have ward for incurables. Mr..
Beecher spoke very warmly in praise OF
the enterprise. 1.-THE time has passed, I"
he said, s'or at least, I think, is passing,
when we thought it necessary to bristls
at the name of Roman Catholic. This
ponderous system of forms and religious
ordinances may not be to our taste, but
they develop among them as earnest
Christians and as conscientious teachers
as can, be found anywhere else; and l
have no question that good souls ase as
largely found among that communion
as can be found in any other commu-
MON. I know of no way of winning
Christians by bembarding them or by
building up walls between them and
you higher and higher. You are moi
called upon to approve their ordinances
but when they present themselves te
you with work of true Christian char
ity there is an opportunity to show youl
cordial sympathy with them. There
fore commend to you this enterprise
and trust by your presence and YOU
liberality you will show them that yor
are not merely blind haters." ~. ;

ed to the home of the young lady. The
bridal party were on the floor, and the
magistrate had nearly finished the job,
when Donovan, to the surprise of every
one, rushed in and declared that the
ceremony should proceed no further
Donovan grabbed the girl by the waist
and exclaimed, in piteous accents, "Oh,
Meliss, don't you consent, for you prom
Used me first" Ayres had her around
the neck, and yelled in stentorian tones.
AGO on, Squire, we are half-married
now; finish up the job" The magis-
trate, under the circumstances, refused

married, is no better off than he was be-
fore, and Donovan is disconsolate.
