To the Editor of the Courier:
The readers of the Courier doubtless
labor under the impression that, we were
always identified with the Democratic
party; this, however, is not the case. For
a series of years previous to the war,
and during that entire period we were ac
tively identified with the Radical party.
We are led into this explanation through
the columns of the Courier, from the
fact that it has a circulation in this vicini
ty. It is eagerly sought after by the Re
publicans here, who seem quite anxious to
get hold of what they very politely term “a
Rtbel paper.” They have a great curiosity
to see the paper, but as a matter of course,
not one of them would dare support it
even if they wanted to; because the eyes
of their master are ever upon them, and
the party lash would be vigorously ap
plied for such a misdemeanor. Every
number of the Courier that makes its
appearance here, however, is clandestinely
perused by the rank and file of the Radi
cal party. We shall, therefore, assign a
few reasons for having left the party. In
the first place, we made the discovery that
the country was no longer safe under the
rule of the Radical party. The bitter

Columhus, O., Feb. 20,1877.—To the
Editor of the Chicago Inter- Ocean : There
will b'e a great deal of speculation and
Tery diversified opinions throughout the
country for the next thirty days as to
Gov. Hayes’ views in regard to the po
litical future of the South. There wil.
be those who will claim that Gov.
Hayes is ready for a compromise, and
others who will say tbat Gov. Hayes
will carry out President Grant’s policy
of policing the South.
Now, I have been in Columbns for
two days. I have talked witlre Gover
nor Hayes, talked with his secretaries,
talked with his friends and advisers,
and I will tell you just where Governor
Hayes stands.
The burden of Governor Hayt;
thoughts just now is:
“How shall I make the Sooth govern
herself?”
The president-elect is satisfied that
the policy of General Grant—leaving
the ex-rebels on one side and the
Northern Republicans and negroes on
the other—has not been a successful
policy.
Governor Hayes is satisfied that
there must be a new party in the South
—or two new parties—separated, not
by the color line, but by a political
line. H:s policy will be to try and
separate the native white vote—divide
it—throwing the old hardshell rebel
vote with the ignorant negroes into a
Democratic party, and the old Union
Whigs and intelligent negroes into a
new Union or Republican party.
Then he proposes to withdraw the
troops and let each parey take care of
the other.
Will Gov. Hayes jeopardize the ne-
gro?
No, he will not He will treat with
no party not based on the last consti
tutional amendments and on the per
fect equality—political and religious—
of the colored man.
His idea is to foster a new party,
based on absolute justice to all men,
and a party that will divide offices and
honors with all colored men worthy of
them. When be can find such a party
coming to meet him from the South,
Gov. Hayes will meet it half way. He
will say to it:. Now police the South
yourselves reward (without distinction
of color) your patriots; punish (without
distinction of color) your criminals;
and protect (without distinction of col
or) your children.
Governor Hayes will not concede a
point that may be construed into a
compromise; but he is prayerfully in
earnest in the idea that the South must
be made self-governing—that the color
line must be broken down before there
.can be perpetual peace, and before the
'^Southern half of the Republic can be
’ homogeneous with the Northern half.
He believes the political distinction
must be political, not social—that not
only the white vote must be separated
but also the negro vote.
It was Jere Black who, hearing the
decision this time, quietly remarked
“O, jam the jam, jam, jam to jell.”
Cornelius Vanderbilt thinks his papa
ought to have left him fifteen or twenty
milions. He will probably try to break
the will.
Bayard Taylor is acquainted with a
hippopotamus that looks into his face
with a touching delight when he ad-
'dresses it in Arabic.
Don Fiatt on Simon’s Breach.
T!ie town is all agog with fun over
a breach of promise suit brought by
a buxom widow against my benevolent
old highwayman, Simon Cameron.
Simon is very old. The memory of
man runneth not to the contrary in
Pennsylvania when Simon was not
engaged in the purchase of Legislatures
or making money from the public treas
ury. He is such an antique of animat
ed rascality that, could he have been
spared from the Senate, he would bave
Deen put under a glass case at the Cen
tennial and labelled, “Useless, but very
rare and curious.” In the Senate he i3
called, “Old Palsy, from Pennsylvania,”
and when he rises his bones rattle so
a3 to be beard in the galleries. The
idea of suing such an old codger for a
breach of marriage contract is extreme
ly ludicrous.
The writ was served upon him in the
Senate Chamber. The a ppearance of a
sheriff’s officer on the floor created a
sensation, and around the writ as it
rested on Simon’s desk the solemn old-
time boys walked, looking at it very
like a lot of crows eyeing a steel-trap
with an egg in it. Old Christiancv
gazed sadly at Simon, and said :
“Better bave married her, Simon
better have married her, old cock.
And out of the Treasury, too!”
Sitting Bull chuckled aud winked,
and wanted to know if Simon had
jumped from a window or done any
thing of that sort.
Old Hannibal Hamlin buttoned in
feeble manner his blue swallowtail,
and gazed at Simon with all the inten
sity of expression found in the eyes of
deceased mackerel.
“Find a good apple-sass lawyer,
cried Logan, “and prove an alibi.'”
Z. Chandler threw his arms affection
ately about the neck-of Simon and
aid :
‘Sit on her, sit on her, old codger,
’ll help you.”
Jones, of Nevada, offered to go Si
mon’s bail, provided the child was
After the legislature adjourned in
Atlanta last Thursday, sine die, the
members bad a ’’high old time.” The
following were the proceedings:
The gentleman from Banks called
the House to order, and for half a
hour fun was fast and furious.
Among the resolutions, etc., were the
following:
Resolved, That the member from
Whitfield be appointed to preach the
funeral of the beloved, but defunct fel
low-citizens, Retrenchment and Reform.
Mr. Fort made a point of order that
the question of retrenchment aud re
form had been indefinitely postponed.
Resolved, That one square yard of the
cheek of the gentleman from Banks be
appropriated to ha’f-sole the heads ol
the gentleman from Randolph and
Meriwether.
The principal keeper of the peniten
tiary begs leave to announce that he is
here prepared to take the Legislature
to the coal mines in the State of Dade.
All the resolutions passed unani
mously. The whole concluded in
burst of eloquence from the member

fluence of the Southern sun and some
old whisky, not only made love to the
widow, but inveigled her to Washing
ton, where he had her quartered on the
Treasury. From time to time he prom
ised marriage. Now, it is said, the fair
complainant is in possession of certain
love-letters badly written and wretched
ly spelled, for Simon is not “one of
them literary fellers,” to use his own
phraseology, such as Sumner. These
litterrary efforts at. love-making will
prove interesting reading, while certain
spicy, but scandalous stories, will add
zest to the proceedings. When asked
if he wouldn’t compromise, the old fel
low said :
“Certainly I will; she may kiss mv
foot.”
That is what this dignified Senator
from Pennsylvania calls a compromise.

The Situation in a Nutshell.
Men of all-parties have settled down
to the solemn conclusion that Judge
Joseph Bradley is to bo the Presiden

It is very funny to see the old New

seven Democrats on one side and seven
Republicans on the other, and hum
ming abstractedly that well-known air.

never will waltz to you’’.—which is tho

A Repablicah Nightmare.
New York, February 21.—A Tri- \
bunc special from Columbus, Ohio, says: I
The Democrats claim to have discov- j
ered a scheme on the part of the Re
publicans which would defeat them,
even should they succeed in delaying
the count until after the fourth qf March.
The plot, as they, have it, is that as
soon as the Republicans are confident!
that the count will not be allowed
to pioceed, John Sb6rcoau will tender
his resignation as Senator. The Ohio
Legislature will declare a vacancy, and
elect Governor Hayes to fill {he unex
pired term in the Senate. Governor
Hayes will then be made President pro
tern, and Acting President until another |
election can be had.
