The Enquirer SAYS: A correspondent of
the Enquirer, now in the South, sends MS
the outlines of a scheme the existence of
which has been hinted for some time past,
namely, to work up sentiment for Haves'
denomination from a Southern standpoint,
and thus make it appear that he is Re
publican necessity for the Presidential
campaign of next year. President Ha, es'
policy toward the S,uth-we mean his pol
ic of action, not of words--has done much
to strengthen him with the people there.
He may be narrow-mnded partisan in
is attitude toward q Democratic Congress;
he may have vetoed bills whose Justice and
equity were as widely recognized as the
}eclaration of Independence itself; he NAV
have refused to sanction appropria-
tions for the army and the Depart
ment of Justice; he may have
insisted that Deputy United States Mar
shals should watch every election In the
cities of the North; but for all this, his
dealings with the Southern people have
been such as were nominatedin the bond.
Peace has been restored to the South not hy
!. e interference of the mailed hand of the
Federal Government but because it was
allowed to conduct their own affairs lust as
the Northern States conduct theirs.-Cin-

not riously low, there were seven days of
