oel these delusions, and to discover
that the Administrator has no follow
ing, North or South, East or West. 1t
Is tolerated, aud only exercises the
power derived from fraudulent possess Z
sion of the vast public patronage and
Offices. In this condition of things,
Hayes has been seeking to get reco2-
milton inside the party, which he was
for having deserted, and to
recover his lost ground by accepting
the terms of it's real leaders. The Re-
nublican managers who want to use
the patronage and Offices, as they have
been accustomed to do, were willing to
receive him, in order to obtain the de-
sired control for 1880.
The evidence of this bargain may be |
found, first in the resignation OF Mr..
Christiancy, purchased by a foreign !
mission, so as to open the door for the |
return of Zach Chandler to the Senate; |
and secondly, in the many local ap- !
pointments since then, all pointing In
the direction of a contract to which |
Hayes and all his concern are parties.
AS a token of adhesion, most of them,
including Mr.. Evarts, were conspicu-
GUS in the audience at Mr.. Conkling's
speech. That was intended as sign
of reconciliation.
Members of the present Cabinet
were among the foremost to denounce
military interference. When Gen.
Sheridan seized the Legislature of
| Louisiana, and proposed to outlaw
large part of the population, and to
try them as banditti before a drum
head court martial organized to con-
vict, Carl Schurz, then a liberal mind
ed Senator, spoke as follows:
"United States soldiers, with fixed
oCv0iHn9t
them, and took them out of the legis-
lative hall by force. I cannot,
therefore, escape from the deliberate
convictions conviction conscientious
lv formed-that the deed done on the
, 4th of January, in the State House o.
Louisiana, by the military forces o1
the United States, constitutes gross
and manifest violation of the Constitu
. ton and laws of this republic. 1
= this can be done in Louisiana, and i
/ such things be sustained by Congress
how long will it be before it can be
;. done in Massachusetts and in Ohio
He who in a place like ours falls 4
stop. or even justifies q blow at thu
i fundamental laws of the land, make
,, himself the accomPlice Of those Wh'
n strike at the life of the republic, ant
6 at the liberties Of the people,"
e Those fragrant outrages were sus
- tanned by Gen. Grant and the Heput
lican party in Congress, and MI
Schurz is now cooperating with them
! to repeat other enormitics against tn
A. freedom of elections, in the desperat
IS hone of restoring the same men I

Evarts had b}azed the path in men
orable protest, at Cooper institute
against the military usurpation
r. Louisiana. These are his words:
Of ssWhen men vote and when the
% chosen officers meet, and when witt
out violence and without deinonstr

'' conduct the affairs of their poiltlc
. ,, government, no soldiers can a'ateIje''c.
All AL There are two very distinct fir
,he lines of limitation, which observe
raj will protect the machinery of the go
'"' crnment for the people to-day, that
,lic that the sole intervention of the FedeE
power within State authority shall
to suppress violence, and that th'
Office after that shall not assume to
tbe further ztu1ess ache,e S,evited by the !
rug oye,,e authority of the State.
