AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I Ex-Smatob Norwood believe* Hayes was inaugurated by fraud and Ilia policy will result in tbs nunc. Tac harbor of Antwerp la now lllumi- neted et night by eleotrio light*, end it ie proposed to apply them to the public squares of the oity. Ouili.x An Yu, the eeoond Chinamen who settled in New York, was buried Sunday. He married an Irish girl and was a oonvert to Oatholioiam. Ninon Marob 4, upward* of 6,000 appli* cation* for offioes, other than postmaatem, have been received by Postmaster General Key, of which one-half are from Tonnes* see. Tna Cincinnati Commercial thinka Sit ting Bull the man who is responsible for the new polioy of the Administration, because Bitting Bnll wants to raise W(b)igs. CownsATiiDiTioMs.—Kellogg and Pack ard have exchanged congratulatory tele grams. Their worthy brother Hayes, all benefloiaries of Returning Boards, are happy together. It is told of Gladstone that he likes dukes, and Disraeli once said of him that to see him shaking hands with a dnke was like Jacob wrestling with the angel," he was so loath to let go of him. In 1870, tor every £100 reoeived by the railway companies of Great Britain, £48 was expended. Year after year the pro- portion of working coats has increased, until in 1874 it ooat £65 to earn £100. In 1876, matters were ao far improvod that it cost only £64, and last year only a trifle over £60. Fbaudulxisoy Hayes married Miss Webb, daughter of Dr. Webb, of Ohilli- oothe. Henator Stanley Matthews mar ried a Mias Ulaok, of Tennessee. Dr. Joseph Webb, Mrs. Hayes' brother, mar ried a sister of Mr. Mstthews. His Frand- ulenoy and Henator Matthews are broth- era-iu law of Dr. Webb. At the White House, the other day, Grant said a good thing. He hsd been stopped upon the street by offloe-seekers, and asked to endorse their papers. "Mr. Hayes,” said he, coming into the room, “these fellows are all after me to sign their papers; thoy seem to think I bavo more influence with this administration than I had with the last one." A mam named John Johnston, and claiming to be a brother of Gen. Joe Johnston and Colonel of the Tenth Geor gia Cavalry, applied reoently for lodgings at the station house in Canandaigua, New York. He said that before the war he was the owner of twelve hundred acres of land, and doubtless this was about as true as his other statements. * At the meeting between Lord Beacons field and his Exoellenoy the Chinese Min ister, the conversation turnod on tho length of tho envoy's stay. “May yon,’’ said my Lord of Beaoonafleld, with the oordial smile whioh suits him so well, “find it pleasant to remain in our country till you have taught me Chineee /" It was a pretty allusion to perpetuity whioh,when tranalated, gratified the envoy. A New York correspondent: “Mis* Thnrsby ia so cold that I doubt if a steady diet of thunderbolts would eveu take the chill off, and the listonor, with the ther monte ter at DO deg., would aigh for an overooat. A steady engagement of three months in the orator of Vesuvius,with the volcano well fired np, would posaibly in. dues something like the ahadow of an emotion, but I wonldn’t back Vesuvius very heavily to win.” Gov. Hampton showed a pretty oorreot appreciation of the situation when he re- stalked the other day to the correspondent of the Charleston Journal of Commerce, who had asked bis opinion about the proposition to have a new election in South Carolina, that be would not enter tain ii fora moment. “But,” he added, “if Mr. Hayes would oouaent to make a new raoe for the Presidency, he would be quite willing to mske a new oanvaas for the office of Governor.” A Complete Change —The New York Time* ia the ablest Republican journal of thp North. A few days sinoa it was urg ing the Bouth to aooept the olive branoh and Hayes’ polioy, and among other things advooating the removal of troops. In Tuesday's editorial tactics are changed, and the editor questions the j udioiousnesa of withdrawing the troops from Louisiana and Bouth Carolina. The artiole says that “they are there in pursuance of law, to perform a duty imposed by tho Con stitution. They do not offend the law* abiding oitizens, nor interfere with anybody's rights. Their withdrawal would be simply a gratification for the feelings of a faction of the Bouth. It ia said the troops oould be easily returned, bnt the Time* asks if the troops were re moved and the Democrats take possession of the Btate government, will they oall on Hayes to order back the troops, what* ever may be the need of them; and if not, how oan they legally be returned? It ar gues that the removal of the troops might prove a fatal blunder, instead of a step toward a just and desirable conciliation of the Bouth. THE MLLT IDEA OF MUTISM AN0 ■I YIMIRM THE BOOTH. The Northern Republioan press have already sounded the alarm. They will make desperate efforts to ooRtrol the next Congress and secure the Speakership and the rest of the ottoae. The Independent journals iotimate it ia to be done by se cret bribery and the appointment of Dem orals to offioes. The Republicans by their course suggest the plan will be by building the Mississippi levee* and the Southern Pacific Railroad. The policy of Mr. Hayes thus far has not been one ealeulaled to inspire trust and oonfldenoe, but rather the very opposite. He has vio lated solemn pledges his friends made, and falsehood is not rewarded by a eeoond belief. The Bouth is not to be bought like a pack of sheep. The Southern Democrat who deserts hie colors in the contests against the representatives of eucoessfnl fraud will dig his own political grave. Men of doubtful associations must prepare for inevitable defeat at the next election. The idea of separating the former Whigs from the Democrats is sm other fallacious dream. The re mains of that grand party—the true men of if—are inflexibly opposed to radicalism in every shape and form. Many of its leaders have drawn the most brilliant prizes the political world oau offer; won them by the united votes of Democrats and Whigs. The latter were among the staunchest supporters of the Gonfederaoy, and entertain the greatest animosity against the party that is oon- tiuually oppressing the South, and crush ing self-government out of two Slates. It is the chimera of a factious brain for the Republicans to obtain any following in this seotion, even though troops were removed from Louisiana and Bouth Caro lina and the wordy promises of Hayes fulfilled. He baa already shown he will not keop one of them, and that he is the “President of my party” just as Gen. Grant was. He is fair in words—in sots an oppressor and partisan. The Democratic party is stronger now than it ever was and more firmly united, llayee is pursuing the very policy that will more strougly knit it together. It has the House. In two years it will have the Benate and in four will eleot a President and inaugurate him. There is no hope for the extirpation of military rule, peaoe and looal self-government until this is done. PMAUDUI.EHCY'S FIRST HOVE. We have all been waiting very patient ly for the candidate of the Returning Boards, Btate and National, to offer the Bouth something. Well, he has. His appointees, eveu the so oalled Democrat, Key, has announced, are to be Republi cans, when any good one oan be obtain ed. That's the idea of the National party whioh Bradley'a man was to head. We are really glad of it. Notioe ia olearly given : “No Democrats need apply.” That's the olive branoh extended. As he offers nothing, it oan be aooepted very well. His friends next pledged that troops would be removed from Louisiana and Bouth Carolina. He promised con sideration, when the Democrats asked him to fulfill those plighted words, n* has considered, and the result is that Wheeler,another oreatureof swindling and oheating, is to bead a commission to Lou isiana to sustain Paokard. No oommission is to be trusted to give a fair report on Boutbern matters, that is composed of a majority of Republicans. Btill less, oan anything just oome from Wheeler? He and Paokard are in the same boat. Both were beaten, but the Returning Roard de dared them eleeted. Louisiana has had experience in Wheeler compromises. Of course Wheeler wilt not decide against himself by determining against his con federate. By doing so he wonld demon* strate the falsity of bis own tenure of offloe. . The Louisianians should have nothing to do with him. When the Dem ocrats had the power to prevent a deolar- stion of Hayes and Wheeler as President and Vice President, and it was feared they would do so, Judge Btanley Matthews and Congressman Foster, confidential friends of Hayes, pledged their words of honor that Hsyes would remove the troops from Louisiana and Bouth Carolina. llayee still keeps sol diers in both States to sustain Packard and Chamberlain, and sends a oommission to report favorably on these two worthies. As it is inevitable, we must accept this too. It is some more of the same paoiflo polioy, but doesn’t it mske the South love him, and is it not oaloulated to gain him adherents ? As he is offering nothing but the gifts of extreme lt*dioal partisanship’ he is making hosts of friend* here, and so dividing the solid South that in 1880, the Republicans will be so overwhelmingly defeated that the Returning Bonds will not have the glimmer of a hope to oouot them Let us have more of the same class of pacifloation. It makes us love the fraud so muoh that we are becoming more solidified than ever in opposition. Let him go ahead abd pacify ua some more. There is a great desire to know what is the aim of a oreature who allows himself to forfeit the pledge of honor, given by his most intimate advocate*, and evidently by (lis authority. Let the sham olive branch be pnt away. The Bouth desires no mock f irendship* under the guise of a few honeyed words, while a blow at her dearest interests is given. Eud the farce for the true inwardness has been shown. “If It were don* when 'Us dons, Then ’twer* better it war* don* quickly.” —Salomon Taylor, a colored man, who was convioted in one of the oourts of Mobile, seven years ago, of manslaughter, and wa* sentenced to the penitentiary for life, was pardoned, on Monday last, by Gov. Houston. Taylor is quite a youni man. He was under the influence o Whiskey at the time of the deed, and there was a quarrel over a gam* of cards. By good oonduot he succeeded in inter- eating some of the friends of hi* former owner in his behalf, and aa he had lived in Tennessee, Governor Porter of that State interceded for him. Colombia special to Charleston Journal of Commerce: Hon. B. 8. Cox ia in the oity and called on Governor Hampton, with whom he bad a long conversation. In conversation with members of the press, Mr. Cox positively denied the re port that he was her* in the capacity of a special messenger from Hayes. He says he ia on his way to Aiken, where he ia going tor a season of rest and reoupa ra tion. He does not seem to know what to think about the situation, but his oonfldenoe in the justice of Hampton's cause. He seems to be in considerable doubt as to what Hayes' oooree towards the Bouth will be, but says the Southern people aboald take whatever he offers them aa Elijah did the food from tba ra vens, believing that it oomes from the Lord, and not objeoting to the LOUISIANA AND THE SOUTH DIS- C1UBTEB. Every Democrat in the entire South is utterly disgusted with Hie Fraudulsnoy, and especially those of Louisiana. He Is evidently endeavoring to shift the reapon* sibility from his own shoulders to that of commission headed by his subaltern, who, after pronounoing the Returning Board a fraud, aooept* the seo- ond highest gift of the nation. Noth ing good oan be oxpeoted from auoh body. It will be composed of a Republican majority and a shameless compromise which will relieve Hays* from responsibility will no doubt be pro posed. Experience has taught us that any approach from the Radical party bearing the aemblanoe of an olive branoh should be looked upon, not with auspio- ion only, but as a oertain attempt at de ception, and should be promptly repulsed until actions proving its ainoerity. This Commission proposes to deluge the principal Southern oities with speech es advooating “His Fraodulenoy’s” pol ioy. Let them spare us this infilotion. The polioy oan only be explained by ac tions, not by the generalities of a plausi ble speaker. Don't worry the life out of us by talk. We have orators in abund ance in the Bouth and trusted leaders. They will talk, and all can under- nd when the “ Fraud ” fulfills pledge. Appointing Key to office, after bis declarations, means nothing— all are waiting for something to be done. Then, some light oan be afforded. Don’t surfeit our seotion with more gas from an inflated bag. Hayes has promised enongh. Let him take off his troops. Don’t run the people out of the land by speeches. Bpare the country such a grievauoe, auoh a terrible bore. His people know no more of his polioy than others do, and oan furnish no enlightenment. We all are fully aware of that 8 to 7 transaction. There'* nothing to explain, so don't weary the seotion with talk. The proposition is seriously made to form a sea of the desert of Sahara by cutting a obannel to let in the waters of the Mediter ranean—an enterprise regarded as entire ly feasible, more so, in faot, than the out- ting of the Isthmus of Darien, whioh may be said to be an assured project. A Ger man scientific writer, however, goes so far aa to assert that the Sahara project, if carried out, would eventually turn Eu rope into another Greenland. He alleges that the diversion of the Gulf Stream, by the cutting of the Suez oausl, has already begun to have an influence on the climate of Europe, and that the covering of the burning sands of the great Afrioan desert with water would destroy the hot winds, whioh are neoessary for the melting of the Alpine snow and ioe, and would final ly result in a glaoial formation that would overwhelm Italy. He instances the change* in climate in Australia and New Guinea by the deviation of a warm our rent of water, whioh formerly ran through Torres Straits as a praotioal illustration of bis theory. Judge Bbadley, says the Philadelphia Time*, oommita the folly of moat a us pooled publio men of seeking and flaunt iug in the faoe of the public tho readily fashioned certificates of oharaoter whioh publio letter* and petitions furnish. Some of his Newark friends,*pparently sensible that he has damaged himself by lA decis ions on the Electoral Commission, have taken the usual plan adopted to bolster constable*, oounoilmen and other victims of ambition in petty contests, and ad dressed him a publio letter indorsing his flexible law that shut the door against in. quiry in Florida and Louisiana and swung it wide open in Oregon, and he has been weak enough to reply. The faot that a Judge would oouaent to defend himself ou a grave judioial issue before a town meeting or a mob of signers to a publio letter, is a confession that he is sensitive as to just criticism of his acts. No enemy of Judge Bradley oould have harmed him half so muoh by the most earnest and well directed aasaalts against him, as be has harmed himself by machine effort* to suae tain his decision. Ia his case silenoe is golden, and forgetfulness is safety. YAZOO FRAUD. O0V. TROUP AND SLAVERY. Leaving out portions of the artiole, we olip this from the Savannah Newe edito rial : The Yazoo fraud is no ehild of Mill- edgeville. It was not born or oonceived in the old honored ospital, nor was it given vitality by the signature of the Gov ernor in the oapital. * * * The Yazoo sat was passed on the 7th of January 17D6, in Augusta, the then oapital, and signed by Governor George Mat thews. The resoinding aot was signed by the Governor on the 13th February, 17D6, and the Yazoo fraud aot was burnt in the Capitol aquare of Louisville,whioh had4>eeu mad* the oapital of the Btate. Governor James Johnson was the most conspicuous person on the occasion. You have hi* potrait hanging up in the Opera House, in the Representative Hall, but the light is so miserable that bis noble faoe oannot well be seen. * * * The moat conspicuous persona in pat ting through the Yazoo fraud, were James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a member of the old Continental Congress, and one of the Judge* of the Bupreme Court of the United State* at the time; Gen. James Gunn, United States Senator from Geor gia; Nathaniel Pendleton, Diatriet Judge of the United Btates for Georgia; Mathew MoAUister, Distriot Attorney for the Dis trict of Georgia; William Btith, Judge of the Superior Court of Georgia; also, Hon. Georg* Walker, of Riohtuoud, and Wil liam Longstreet and Zaohariah Cox of Georgia, and Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina. There was a certain message from Gov. George M. Troup, whioh wa* written in the Capitol at MiUedgeville, and the glory of the old bnilding is made dear in the heart of every Georgian who loves virtue, honor, truth, and reaped* State right*. That message was written on the . [OoauaaaMated.1 NOHINATtOB FOR HfifMVHI. Editor Enquirer-Sun: Bin—Among the many question; agita ting tba minds of tha people ia the Con vention.

Mr. Editor: We know that your ex pression of some fears about the deal re of the people tot a Convention was aot fath er to a wish, tor every good, intelligent citizen, you know, is anxious to secure to Georgia, at an early period, aa good and just laws as her oitiaens oan desire. We are glad to see that some interest is being manifested in this matter, and that some good oitizens have been named for the place. We Jo not think that any man should seek to represent the people in this Con vention, but tbs rather, the people seek him. We think well, very well of the parties who have been named, and know of others as meritorious and oapable of serving both Btate and county. We must be allowed to suggest that the commercial is only secondary to the planting interest, and should have a very prominent part in this Convention. They are the sinews of peaoe now and desirous of preserving peaoe, and the safest political element of the country—the suooess of all parties is their glory, and their am* bition is their seotion'* renown. They have aver been a progressiva folk, and good government and mercantile interest are synomymous terms. The only thing in history that has ever made them ami. grants is insecurity in liberty and proper- ty. Equality ia their great motto, and they should be heard from in the laws of the land.

'AN ALLEQEP BARTER. A STORY THAT THB SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS ABE TO wi-l- THEMSELVES FOB A MB** OT POTTAGE. Special to the Philadelphia Turn* ] Washington, Marsh 18,—rlt Is being whispered that the administration party are making overtures to tbs Demnerata of the Bouth to permit a Republican organi zation of the next House, under thelead- ership of Garfield, in return for looal self- government and river and harbor, levee, railroad and internal improvement appro priations. It is oertain that many South ern men take kindly to this proposition. Whether they will remain in that attitude after Hays* has withdrawn the troop* in South Carolina and Louisiana remains yet to be seen. Hayes has certainly the van tage ground now. Will he have it after be shall be permitted looal government to be restored ? Men are asking, oan ho antagonize the better element North by using Federal money to strengthen and sustain the adminis tration Bouth ? Leading Democrats do not believe that the Southern Senators and members will so readily forget the wrong* to whioh they have been subjected in the past twelve years, and whilst it ia oertain that they take kindly to this propo sition now, it 1* to be remembered that they are staking everything on the restora tion of self-government in the Bouth. The compensation for all this to the Demooratio party, say the longer headed Democrats, lies in the faot that if Hayes and the Federal power oan so shape legis lation in the next session of Congress aa to dictate the polioy to be pursued in a House organized by the Democrats, it will be better that he should take organi zation an eontrol. So far as the future of the Democracy is concerned, the result of such a condition of things in 1878 would be an assured majority in both houses. The Benate will be Demooratio at all events on the 4th of Marob, 1879. •TABLEY MATTHEWS. A CINCINNATI DEMOCRAT OH HIS ELECIION TO THE SENATE.

Aliundozing in Brooklyn.—Praotioal jokers have taken to hanging things round loosely in Brooklyn, to the disgust of the polio* foroe, who find themselves summoned at inoonvenient times to go and cut them down. On Bunday, Rounds man O'Brien and a seotion of the Ninth Preoinot were sent to out down a hanged man, oorner of Central avenue and Cop. per street, and found a stuffed figure bear ing a plaoard on its breast inscribed : | ALIUNDE JOE! j I Bbadley, the Bull-dozer. • They out it down and bore it solemnly to the Stationhonse, where it was incon tinently burned by order of the sergeant on duty. On Saturday night Oilloer Hill- berg found hanging td a lamp-poet, cor ner of Fulton and Oxford streets, the figure of a man marked “Rutherford B.
