POLITICAL NOTES.

No protest has yet come from the
South against Jefferson Dayss recent
declaration that the Southern women are
"bringing up their children to yndicate
the principles we failed 10 establish" The
only remonStrance is a faint fear that such
outspokenness may injure the South.
The nomination OF Mr. Davis, who
served in the Union army as private sol
der and refused promotion, reminds the
New York Mail Of Nathaniel Macon. who
was Senator from Georgia for over thirty
years and until he declined longer 10 serve

The end aud the net result OF the extra

Hayes What % disgusting business
The Southern planters aud those who
speak for them ~ the North or 90 llr
South, say that the negroes in their employ
are prosperous AMI coutcutcd. When the
colorcd men Of the South speak they tell
different story. At a great meeting OF tLc
colOrrd citizens Of Alabama. held 20 Hunts
VILE hast week. resolutions were adopted
declaring that they were deprived of civil
and political liberty, and Invested OF every
political right conferred upon them by the
nation; that they are denied fair and im-
partial trials i'm the courts that although
they constitute half of the population uf
the State. no colorcd man Is allowed % ,.t

ColOrcd men OF the South % Obtain homes

ton and equal laws may De secured for
them and their children.
As we have before said. there has al.
way, been chronic trouble az the Iye Office
in regard 10 the division OF the loaycs and
fishes The latest grief about that e,tab-
lishmcnt relates 10 the loss Of % position
I'm the custom house by the editors SOIL
The Age complains that the abolition OF
the place held by the young man last JAM
uary, was merely for the purpose Of getting
rid Of him and also for furnishing the SON
for the fathers political sins. Even IL hi,
be SO. there really seems little ground Tor
complaint on the part OF the .lgs. That
paper has generally held political prefer
mcut to be the reward of faithful party
services When Rev. Mr.. Parker was dr-
priycd of his place IN the custom house,
and Mr.. RuSt's son appointed thereto, the
Ig,. if we remember rightly justified tir
act on the ground that the depO>ed official
was not 4 Republican worker and was not
reliable m respect o. voting the full Re-
publican ticket. Tn, understanding va,
that the place was not given So much 20
the young man who filed 10. Us gratitra-
tion % the father; and why should not thi,
doctrine Of rewards and puni>hmcuts have
two sides; II j. undoubtedly better to as
sign the real rather than the ostcn>lJlr
reason for the removal; nevertheless
Judge Boarlmau has a well settled conyic-
ton that hc was legi,Atcd out or Office iu
a roundabout way. and that brother Rust
was accessory before thc. fact.
When We come to look 40 the matter 0'
public expenses, too, there Is also some
thing % Doc said The pay of young Nr.
Rust was ~lulj. while the new officer w.I

charge the office OF Inspector. which.
