Was lie Double-Faced 2

EFFrGY SARGENT Is by no means a modern
GEORGE WASHINGTON nevertheless, the
story he tells about HAYES, In his letter to
Gov. KINKEAD Of Nevada, may be true
The ex-senator charges Mr.. HAYES and
Mr. EvARTs with dupliclty in their treat
ment OF the Chinese question II what he
says be well founded, the Callfornians are
right IN accusing HAYES Of trenchery:
Letit not thought that the representative Of the
Paeirc entered into this struggle Nou. assurances of
executive sympathy and approval We supposed We
unde rsiuot. thar such bill would be approved found
Mi HAYES and Mr. EyARTs IN repeated interviews, #
could Judge from conversations extremely anti Chinese.
They hardly needed Information ready were they to
hpprehcnd aud sympathize Was this mere prctcnce or
1d they disown their convictions when the seusgless
elamor against them camel Icoues. doubt this
point In either prcteNt found 10 veto the
bill and the message contained courtesy for the
slaughtered opinions OF few weeks before
There are two circumstances that support
EFFIGY SARGENT's view Of the conduct OF
HAYES in this matter. The first is the visit
OF Erring Brother KEY TO California last
summer, during which he gave the people
OF San Francisco assurances that the HAYES
Administration sympathized in their dis
tress about the Chinese. The second is the
emphasis that IIAYEs's veto message lays
on the section added to the hfteen-passenger
bill, formally declaring a part Of the BUR-
LISoAME treaty abrogated thus avoiding
any declaration against the principle OF
race discrimination independently Of the
wrong done in violating the treaty.
The truth seems to be that HAYEs's policy
IN this matter has been the one laid down
by the eminent Mr.. PIcRwIcK, to shout
with the majority" Last summer, there
was little interest and no cutlery regarding
the Chinese question, save on the Pacific
coast. BY expressing his sympathy with
the people there, at that time HAYES fol-
lowed Mr. PIcKwICR's golden rule. But
when the fifteen passenger bill was passed.

Ono View.

A distinguished statesman, who has been
largely identified with the Republican party,
but who nevertheless voted for DR.. HORACE
GREELEY for President, takes this view Of
the political condition Of the country:
He thinks the rise OF the extremists in the
South has revived and reinyigoratcd the
extremists in the North.
This is his way of accounting for the re-
election of LOGAN, CARPENTER, and ZAcH-
ARIAH CHANDLER
The statesman We refer to is OF the opn-
ion that GRANT may again be elected by the
same current of feeling that has restored to
the Senate such extremists as LOGAN, CAR
PEWTER, ana CHANDLER.
This is one view. 1t is an interesting view
We shall see.
