Enough is as good as feast, even of the
negro exodus to the most rantankerous of
Radicals, and we are not at Iall surprised
to hear that SGov. st. John, after all his
philanthropic parade, has got enough at
last In his recent letter to the sanitary
commission of Kansas he says:
I'VE have already received and cared
for between four and FIVE thousand of
these people (colored refugees) here in
Kansas. The labor market has been. l
will say, overstocked with them. 1t is
utterly impossible to obtain employment
for them now. The funds of the associa-
ton are about exhausted, and to send more
of them here in addition to the number
that are already here and must be provi-
ded for, would be cruel outrage upon the
black man, and twill necessarily result in
much suffering on their part tor the want
OF food or the opportunity to earn it, So
far as l am personally concerned | shall
never officially or otherwise forbid any
human being, who is willing to obey the
laws and make an honest effort to better
his condition and become good citizen
from entering the state of Kansas. ]

destitute blacks to send them here noto, il

sick and disabled, all it is possible for ou

Hayes in his veto No. 5, declared that

that marshals should not be paid for legi-

For some time past Agnes jerks has
been haunting Washington, and it was
known that she had the entree of the
White House and of the several depart
ments. The public has understood that
the administration was in some Way re-
warding her for swearing that she wrote
the letter to Webster, the Louisiana cleo
ton supervisor, which was sigued With
the name of John Sherman, but it has
not been known exactly how this was
done. On the 18th, there appeared in
one of the Washington papers a letter
from one of the department clerks which
clears up this very slight mystery The
letter is as follows:

What Does it Meanp

At first very family, in occasional two
line paragraphs. it was limited that MIR.
Hayes would, if the party demanded it,
accept denomination" This extract APP
peared simultaneously in large number
Of our republican exchanges, and created a
mere passing notice, to be forgotten, or
considered a good joke on the nephew Of
his uncle, at Washing ton. But from these
first surroundings come more distinct
statements. and from two lines the item
has grown to one quarter column notices.
If this were confined to one or two papers,
the explanation would be easy; it would
mean simply that Mr.. Hayes had one OF
two enthusiastic admirers foolish enough
to defend fraud, or anxious for political
preferment. The sudden collapse Of the
Grant boom, the announcement that Grant
will remain abroad another year, and the
very emphatic intimation to Mr.. Sherman
that the Maine republicans want none Of
his splendid financial policy in his speeches
in that state, together with other points OF
lesser note, go to form the conclusion thai
Hayes is figuring for denomination. Ii
this could only be-if by some unforeseen
blunder the republican convention could
be induced to nominate Hayes in 1880, the
democratic party should then pass a reso-
lutiou of thanks. Ifonly this man Hayes
nomination could be forced, what an easy
victory democracy would achieve. How
democratic orators would delight to refer
Mr.. Hayes to his part 10 the presidency
steal Of 1876, and rehearse the details o.
that damnable transaction to which ht
was a willing party, and to the acts
of periured returning boards, acting
in accordance with previously arranged
plan, the details of which were submitted
10 Hayes, were approved by him, and con
summated by his direction. How pleas
ant it would be for democrats to product
the evidence to prove these charges, ant
how easily they could be proved. l
would be no great task to render Mr.
Hayes name a stencil in the nostrils of tn
American people, to point to him as tn
great fraud of 1876, a man hardened b
association with corrupt advisers, seekin
to dare public opinion and by cheek an
arbitrary assumption of power, and b
using the machinery of the governmer
Tor accomplishing his own ends, endeavOI
ing to repeat in 1880, that which Gale
forth universal condemnation in 1915
Will the republican party play this card
Will that party attempt to glority fraud
1880? There Is nothing the leaders {
that party would not do to continue
power, and as Hayes is but pliable too
ready and willing to enter into conspirt
cy with them, it need surprise DO one

There seems to be desire on the part
of certain republican politicians to be can

entirely unwarranted. Among the gentle

as Colfax. Orth and Ben. Harrison. But
these desires won't hurt anything, for, as
