TIE CRY ABOUT COUPONS.

than the amount imposed by the Nc
Culloch bill, leaving her bound for an
nual deficits which swell year by year
and disable her from maintaining her
public schools, and deludlng her people
with the reckless assertion that she can
maintain her prosperity, peace, and fair
name, and get nd OF her debt, BY DEFY
ing the solemn action other legislatures
and courts, BY denouncing her creditors,
and by setting up a revolutionary gov
eminent TO repndiate her solemn con-
tracts?
These opponents of the debt settle
clement make large drafts upon what
they nresume to be popular ignorance
in other assaults upon the McCulloch
bill. They invcigh against the exemp'
ton of the bonds from taxation. The
creditors agree TO surrender nearly a
million dollars a year Of annual interest
for ten years, and nearly SIX hundred
thousand for the next twenty years. II
il well known that only about ten mil
lions of the bonds are held in Virginia.
These only are taxable by Virginia,
under recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States. and must
be taxed at their market value. Virginia
therefore practically sdrrenders a tax
amounting to about twenty-five thous-
and dollars in a settlement by which
the creditors surrender the above large
amounts, Yet some OF the chef OF said
oppOnents who thus seek TO impose ON
the people actually voted for the Bocock'
Fowler bill, which equally exempted the
bonds from taxation.

revealed, would damage their party, they
would have called for an investigation of
the cipher correspondence long ago To
which we reply that the Dispdtch is either
ignorant of the facts or wilfully misrepre-
sents them. The truth is the fullest cx-
posure has already been made of the cipher
dispatches sent and receiycdby Republicans
in the campaign of 1876. WILLIAM E.
CHANDLER's testimony before the POTTER
Committee last summer formed significant
part Of this exposure; but there was nothing
serious about them TO expose And it is
known that if ex-senator CARPENTER, then
TnDEN's attorney, had not interlered to
prevent the publicity of his clients bank
account, as well as to influence certain Sem
ators to cry quits when the Senate had the
matter in charge, the most complete inquiry
would have been made into every branch
of this subject, In short, the Republicans
to a man, in the committee and out of it,
have all along been autagonized in their de-
sire to make this investigation complete and
searching by the interested opposition OF
the TILDEN Democracy.

PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.

A close analysis of President HAYES adj
ministration now that il is approaching the
end of its second year and has developed so
far as tits possible the line of policy" to be
followed during the remaining two years,
reveals the fact that the Administration has
learned much from experience that it should
have known from intuition. We refer, of
course, 10 its treatment of the Southern
question, which has undergone change
from indecisive Cancellation to sturdy or
stalwari Rcpublicauism. In short, the
President has ceased TO throw administra-
tive pearls before Bourbon Democratic
swine But there still remains within the
inncrmOst inspirations of the Administra-
ton haukering, so to speak, after the
weals-lIneed methods of sO-caled Liberal
ism, which serves TO drive away from its
support many active political agencies the
friendship of which is worth cultvating.
The man Is yet to be found who will deny
that President HAYES is what is ordinarily
called pure man, as politics go; but the
| trouble is a man may he as immaculate as
" the untrodden snown and be of no more
use to the world of politics, and especially
to his own party, than an iecle 1t is be-
cause he is thus pure, and because the Op-
position, including the avalanche Of Demo.
cratic smelling committees that has been
poured upon him, cannot saya word against
the purity of his administration, that many
of his partisan friends are all the more anx
ious that he should come out boldly in firm
alliance with the persistently consistent ell
ements of true Republicauism. The ioc
that such an alliance as this would have
saved him from the unpleasan
and embarrassing antagonisms Will
the Republican majority Of the Senate
which now exist should appeal to his bette

In n letter explaining a misapprehension of

guilty of the bascness Of which you accuse me.

judgment in the premises and induce him
to make further and more acceptable pro-
gress in the direction of thorough accord
with the heartiest impulses of the over
whelming masses of the party.
Every one who knows anything about the
circumstances of this unfortunate difference
between the President and the Senate is
aware that it had its origin in the misnamed
Liberalism-in reality Proscriptionism-
which inveighs against so-callcd machine
politics, and, under the cover of Reform,
pcrpetuates the selfish interests of pre-
scribed clique of uninnucntial theorists.
Messrs, ARTHUR aud CORNELL were sus-
pended from their respective offices more
than six months ago, before the exposure
of the villainous trcachery of the
Southern Bourbons had effected n
true reform in the opinions and
predictions Of those Liberal theorists be-
fore Cancellation was blightcd, in fact, and
when the mistaken idea was cherished in
the hearts Of good as well rs hopeful men
that there might be a middle ground be-
tween the two parties upon which true Con
seryatism could find resting place. Now
however, that the experience of the Noycm-
her elections has solidified the party in all
other respects, these suspensions remain rs n
cause of dissension, the heritage of the
blunders and misconceptions of the past.
And the misfortune is that a perverse ad-
herence TO those blunders, us well as refu-
sal to forgive or condone thcm has resulted
in widening of the breach between the
opposing parties. The result is that the
suspended officers will not be withdrawn
and the nominees TO supplant them are in
danger Of being rejected.
But if the President and Secretary SHER-
MAN, the latter of whom is now at the fore
| front as the representative Of the Admins
! tration, could be persuaded to offer tc
their Republican opponents the same kind
of yielding Cancellation the Administration
was in the habit of Offering TO its Demo
cratic opponents six months ago, this pain
| full arrangement of party discipline would
instantly cease. And there would be moth
ing unmanly in such concession for it /
demanded in the interests of amicable feel
ing, the amity, we mean, which is Il pre-
requisite to the success Of Republican ef
| forts to overthrow the common enemy, De

A SOLID GRAND JURY.

The Oxford Miss Edgle furnishes the
following interesting certificate relating to
the grand jury in the United States District
Court of that State which was called to try
cases of bull-dozing, ballot-box stuling &c,
in connection with the late Congressional
election:
We, the undersigned grand jurors, sum-
mOned for December term, 1873, of the United
States District Court for the northern district
of Mississippi, do hereby certify that we voted
as follows in the Presidential contest in 1876,
and in the Congressional contest in 1878: w.

1t occurs to us that a marshal who would
summon such political grand jury to try
cases growing out of political wrong-doing
, should be called upon to "step down and
OUT with very little delay The trouble
with the marshal of Mississippi is that
about all of his deputies are "or the best
Democrats;n that is, of the "bull- doing,
negro-killing Radical-hating stripe" and
for his employing such deputies, while
there are plenty of good and competent
men-Republicans to discharge such
duties, he should be summarily dismissed
1t looks as if this marshal is as much en-
titled to the scrutiniling attention of the
Government in regard TO the proper dis
charge of his duties rs the marshal of Lou
isiana. The truth is these Mississippian'
have no more respect for the laws of the
Federal Government than they had for the
