Mr. Hayes has abandoned his

He reached this conclusion, it is
said, after consultation with some
of the best informed undertakers*
in the country.
Turn About’s Fair Play.
t. Louis olobe-Democrat.
The Confederate army surren-
dered to Grant on the 9th of April,
1805, in Virginia. And on the 9th
of April, 1879, the same army, un-
der nearly the same leaders, is de-
manding the surrender of the fed-
eial army at Washington.

K ansas City 'I imes.
Colonel Forney, of the Philadel-
phia Progress, predicts that Tilden
will be unanimously nominated,
conditionally upon his unanimous
withdrawal, on account of old age,
in favor of Sam Randall as the
Democratic candidate. The sub-
stitute is as bad as the original—
the remedy worse than the disease.

do to kill Tilden with and save
the Democratic party to the nation.
The Rebels are again in power,
howl the bloody-shirt press; and
yet one Northern bank subscribes
to $.>0,000,000 of the government
four per cent. loan. The North
must admire “brigadier” rule.
Some one sent a Missouri editor
a bank note detector ; and now
the editor wants the man to send
him some bank notes with which
to test the accuracy of the de-
tector before a notice can be
written.
\s soon as Car tor Harrison is formally
inaugurated the Confederate brigadiers
will take possession of ( bicasro. and the
Ohio man who edits The Okolona llowler
will start it branch of the paper ns city
organ. It will he terrible, but that's what
the election meant.—Chicago Times.
Well, now, really, if the country
wants to coufedcratize itself—
whatever that may mean—hasn’t
the country a right to do it! This
talk about “ Confederate briga-
diers” is all nonsense. If the
country prefers a Rebel brigadier
to a Radical whisky thief, hasn’t
the country a right to its prefer-
ence ? Majorities rule in repub-
lics.
Some of the terribly oppressed
darkies are already returning to
de old cabin door and the bull-
dozers of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. The Qlobe-Dcmocrat has in-
tei viewed a party who were
“gwine home,” and this is what
one Southern mal-treated negro
said :
"W'en I <;it buck to Talulah I expec’ to
make a speech, I do.”
"What are you going to say, Henry ?”
asked the reporter.
“I’m a goin’to tell all my frien’s, and
everybody Hse’s frien’s, and all de pus-
sons 1 meet,” and Henry waved his bar in
wild and extravagant gesture. “Folks,
ef you turn you’ faces up de river ’dout
knowin’ whar you's goin’, let me tell you
you’ goin’ to sutfah badly. Don't you
tool you’selves lookin’ to-Kansas, or after
bettah places ’n yo’ got now. You won’t
find vv'at yu’ goin’ fo’. Let me tell you
you won’t. W’en I wuz here I had a idee
ga’den, and fo’teen hogs, and mules and
plow, and ev’vthing; and I could lay
down on my belly on a bar and enj'y the
water I drank. But l went Norf, an’
hyeah 1 am. home-sick and nigh distract-
ed. Folks in de Norf don’t want you nig-
gahs, and don’t you go.”
Zach’s Annihilator.
Washington Post.
Perhaps Z. Chandler was more
astonished at the news from Chi-
cago yesterday morning than any
other citizen of the republic. He
couldn’t begin to understand how
the Democrats could carry that
city after 27,000 copies of his Jeff
Davis annihilator had been sent
there.
His Military Record.
Washington Post.
While the military records of
the various Democratic and Re-
publican senators tiro being over-
hauled and their distinguishing
features re-exhibited for general
information, Zaoh Chandler should
not be forgotten, for the eminent
stalwart from Michigan is provided
with a record, though a short one.
It extended fiorn Bull Run to
Washington.
A Platform.
Washington Post.
The time is come when it is nec-
essary lor Democrats to contend
for the fundamental principles of
freedom.
The centralizing tendencies of
the Republican party, its forced
marches in the direction of what
its leading spirits denominate “a
strong government,” have en-
croached upon the area of individ-
ual liberty and assailed the rights
of the people to manage their lo-
cal concerns until there is an im-
perative necessity to re-enunciati*
the rudimentary doctrines of De-
mocracy and reset the prostrated
and half - forgotten landmarks
erected by our revolutionary fath-
ers.
We have proposed as oar plat
form, “ free speech, a free press,
a free ballot, honest juries and an
honest count”—a creed broad
enough to embrace all the friends
of democratic-republican govern
rnent, and a ere* d whose princi
pies are equally important to every
citizen in every station of life. It
includes nothing but the simplest
guarantees of the constitution, yet
most of them have been absolutely
denied to, and are still withheld
from, a largi* proportion of the
people, and the other two—free
speech and a free press — have
been menaced,and arc marked for
the next objects of Republican ag-
gression.
What the Local Papers Say
of It.
From ihe Enquirer—Democratic.
It has been a remarkable con-
test. The United States govern-
ment* was threatened, it was loudly
proclaimed. All the power of the
National Republican party that
could be brought to bear upon this
local election was summoned to
the rescue of the party in this city.
The passions of the late civil war
were • all invoked with devilish
skill. The bloody shirt was waved
with damnable dexterity. On the
Democratic behalf no such course
was pursued. The attempt was
honestly m de to keep the local
election within the proper boun-
daries. The Enquirer, on its part,
has nothing to regret in the can-
vass. It has no word to unsay. It
has uttered no abusive word
touching any of the candidates on
the Republican ticket. It has not
sought to excite passions, to kin-
dle which is dishonorable in a
journal, and to encourage which
is dishonorable in a city like Cin-
cinnati. We have spoken as we
believed, for the interests of Cin-
cinnati, and have no lies of
which to repent, after the battle.
The canvass on the Republican
side has been one of falsehood.
The political attack made upon the
head of the ticket, for the head of
the ticket bore the brunt of the
political attack, was unsurpassed
in injustice, malignity and venom
A brave Union soldier, to further
political ends, was assailed as a
“Confederate candidate,” and
there were men ignorant enough,
and intelligent men narrow-minded
and bigoted enough, to vote
against Colonel Harris on that
ground alone. The Republicans
rallied as though there were a
presidency at stake. Indeed, a
congress and a presidency, and
defunct Coofederacy were actually
brought into t lie contest.
THE NEXT CENSUS.
How It Will Be Taken.
From the Commercial—Republican.
Cincinnati has spoken, and her
voice is for the Union. The fight
was fairly and squarely made. It
was an issue between the South-
ern Confederacy revived and the
United States, and there is no
mistaking the meaning of the ver-
dict. The Democrats chose to
plant themselves on a platform
which affirmed that the declared
purpose of the Confederate ma-
jority in congress to override the
constitution; to wipe from the
statute books all war legislation,
and to take away the safe-guards
of the ballot box, was right, and
that the American people ap-
proved it. On that platform the
battle was fought. Local and per-
sonal considerations were lost
sight of in the overshadowing
question of the maintenance of
the nation. The vote poll* d was
the largest ever drawn out at a
spring election in Cincinnati, and
in spite of the most determined
and unscrupulous work of the
Democracy in the canvass and at
the polls, the Republicans have
gained the victory. * * *
To those who have made the
fight for the Union and the laws
in Cincinnati, the thanks of all
true Republicans are tendered.
The Germans have given fresh
proof of their devotion to freedom
and honest^rinciples, and to them
the important result of yesterday
is largely due. But, more than to
anyone else, the Republicans are
indebted for their victory to Judge
Hoadly and the Democratic mana-
gers of the music hall convention,
who projected into the canvass
the issue which the Confederates
have raised in the national house
of representatives.

re-
It is gravely announced in a dis-
patch from Cincinnati that Mr.
Jenkins, a sexton living in one of
the suburbs of the city, has dis-
covered that he is heir to an es-
tate of several millions, more or
less, in England. Years ago the
father of the fortunate sexton’s
grandmother bought lands which
are now in the “ heart of London.”
As might have been expected, the
investor in suburban property
died, the property became valu-
able, there were no English heirs
for it, and the authorities, with
characteristic generosity, adver-
tised for some American to come
and lake it Such things are of
almost daily occurrence—in the
newspapers. Mr. Jenkins has con-'
Why Texas is Slandered.
Denison Herald.
Barlow, a very nice citizen
Corsicana, got beastly drunk
ceutly, went home, and shot his
wife down as though she was a
a dog. The noble officers of the
law gracious'y admitted him to
bail in the sum of $1,500, which
other good and representative cit-
izens of beautiful Corsicana very
promptly furnished. Here we wish
to interpose a word in favor of
the noble murderer—particularly
those who murder women—against
such excessive bail. We respect
fully direct the attention of judges
of Texas to the VUIth amend-
ment to the constitution of the
United States, which reads : “Ex-
cessive bail shall not be required.”
And we would remind Mr. Barlow
that he has good and sufficient
cause for action against the hard-
hearted judge who fixed the
amount of his bail. Such excess-
ive bail is calculated to drive ipur-
derers from Texas, and outsiders
will have good reason to believe
that we estimate the value of a hu-
man life in Texas at*$ 1,500 or less.
We cannot permit these inroads
upon the constitution to pass by
unnoticed, for, if not checked in
time, such commissions may pos-
sibly lead to the hanging of a mur-
derer—which would be too bad.
—As a result of General Fitz
John Porter’s vindication it is said
that he is to be appointed colonel
in the regular army and given his
old regiment, the Thirteenth in-
fantry, if he will again accept ser-
vice under the government which
has so shamefully treated him
Another result is that he will be
entitled to $90,000 back pay for
the lime he has been unjustly sus-
pended from duty. It is to be
supposed that this will be one item
in a new appropriation bill that
the Democrats in congress will
not squabble over. General Por-
ter’s original offense was that lie
was a Democrat.
New York Tribune.
General Walker, superintendent
of the next census, tells a reporter
of the New Haven Register, that
the main bod;y of the work will be
undertaken next fall. There will
be two or three months of prepa-
ration, and the census itself will
be taken in a month’s time. The
statistical matter in reference to
the population of cities and towns
lie will give the public in a very
short time. The last census lie
gave in printed form in 1872; this
time the period will be much
shorter. He contrasts this work
with previous censuses, which
were of little practical value. The
census taken in 18G0 was nominally
published in 1807, but really not
till 1808. The census taken in
1850 was not published till 1859
There was nothing but historical
interest to work done in that way.
The country was growing and the
population changing so rapidly
that such censuses were far from
the actual state of the country
when published. The new census
law, he said, put extra work upon
the superintendent. The month
the census was being taken he
likened to a battle when the gen-
eral must be at his headquarters
Having taken one census he was
better qualified to take another
for he knew what improvements
to make. This was one reason
why he could complete the census
much more rapidly than before.
When the work was being done
he could be at Washington with
his fingers on the telegraph keys,
so that if there were a break here
or there it could instantly be re
paired.
—“ Do you pray before j'ou
eat?” asked Red Cloud of a gen-
tleman who entertained that gen-
tle old savage at dinner. “No,”
said his host, somewhat shame-
facedly. “Then you will not steal
from me,” replied the chief, with
evident satisfaction and earnest
ness.

—Official reports show that more
than $30,000,000 are paid annually
by the United States for imported
fibres—flax, hemp and juti—and
this, too, notwithstanding the fact
that in no other country in the
world can these fibres be grown
so well and cheaply. It has been
demonstrated that jute can be
profitably grown in South Caro-
lina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana,
Texas, and wherever there is a,
hot, damp climate, and a soil of
sandy clay or alluvial mould. It is
four times as productive as cot-
ton or flax, and requires not more
than one-tenth the labor to pro-
duce it.

THE SUN FOR 1879.
The Sun will be printed every day during the
yeartocome. lu ptirtm.-e' and’ method will be
the same a in the past: To present nil the news
in u readable shape, and to tell the truth though
the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue to b«
Independent of everybody and everything save
the I'nith and i sown convictions of duty. That
is the only policy which an honest neiv.-j aiier
need have. 1 hat Is the po Icy which has w*-n
for this newspaper the confide.-.ce nml f, ieudthip
of a wider constituency than was ever enjoyed
by any other American journal.
The Min is the news uper for the people. It is
not for the rich man against the poor mau, or
tor the poor m n a ainst the rich man, hut it
seeks to do equal Justice to alt interests of the
community. It is not die organ of an person,
class, sector p >rtv. There need be no m sterv
about its loves and hates. It is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. It is for
the honest Democrat against the di.-honest lie-
pub! irnn, ami lor the honest Benublican against
the dishonest Democrat. It does not take its
cue from the utterances of any politician or po-
litical organization. It gives its support unre-
servedly when men or mea-ures are in agree-
ment with • lie constitution and with the princi-
ples upon which t* is republic was F-uniled for
the people. Whei everthe constitution and con-
stitutional principles are violated — as in the
outrageous con i iracy of 870, by \* hich a man
uot elected was placed in the president’s oltice
where lie still remains—it speaks out for tt c
right. That is t lie Sun’s idea of hide, endence.
In Ihls respect here will be no change in the
programme for i8i!>.
The Sun has fairly earned ttie hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts ami
sizes. It hopes to deserve :hat hatred not less
in the year bdtthan in |.-7s, 1877, or *ny year
