The Southern people, not having seen a
president for twenty yearn, urc jubilunt
over the visit of Mr. Hayes in h.s
Southern tour. lie makes the Sotrhorn
people buliovo ho is a great frieml of
theirs, but had be no “ax to grim],’’ far
would it be from hi to to be ho familiar,
lie reminds us of some county p ilitiei am.
during an electioneering campaign,
shaking bands with everybody, lapping
and oatoxsing little, dirty chilJicn, prais
ing the women, but alter the election is
over, ho never notices thorn at all. Ah!
Mr. Hayes; don’t lie dread the turn ol
the approaching Congressional grind
stone 1!
In last, Thursday's Homo Courier, wo
find the Valedictory of John 11ix Hass,
E*q.. aho has for some time so well flllo I
thoehair of associate Editor of that long
established and sterling journal; and also
the Salutatory of Colonel William A.
Shorter, w ho takes his place.
Colonel Shorter mounts the editorial
tripod with an easy grace, and we most
heartily welcome him into the editorial
fraternity- He is a gentleman of lino
literary attainments, who has made his
mark in the legal prole don, and we
predict for him a brilliant career as a
journalist. His numerous friends in
Georgia and Alabama, will always be do
lighted to peruse the Courier now (h it
his facile pen will he employed in it-'
sound Democratic utterances.
The Savannah Xnrs speaking of the
New Constitution, closes a lengthy edi
torial of ability, which we heartily com
mend to (he earnest consideration of our
readers, in these words:
“Its rejection at the polls would reflect
lasting discredit, upon our people. It
would he saying plainly to the world that,
after all the complaint regarding the in
famy of. arpot-bug rule, and the injustice
which such rule worked upon the cith-v n
of this State, yet wo were forced to con
fess that they were more capable ol giving
us a good government than were men
who had long since made themselves
reputations, not only us leading minds in
the State, but in the entire South Such
a confession would lie humiliating in the
extreme, and would inure to our lasting
shame. “
A His h-tened Press.
For years in the past, we have enter
tained the belief that the press next to
the pulpit, weilded a power for good or
evil incalculable in its extent. T. o
morals of a community may be very cor
rectly determined by the character of the
newspapers circulating within its In umls.
If the literature he light and chaffy, so
arc the morals of the people; it’ it be
profane and vulgar, so again are the
people; if it be high toned, pure and
elevating, so are the people refined and
moral.
Many people in subscribing fora paper
never tor a moment look at these points,
nor give them a moiueut’ajeonsuleration.
The ore main idea is a paper; and they
never consider its character, nor the in
fluence it is to exert upon the family
readers. This is all wrong. A man
should scrutinize the ohu actor of a paper,
just as much as ho would that, of an in
dividual, before introducing hint into ! i
family circle. For would you brit i: .
the sacred precincts of your home, an,
who would habitually use profane and 1
vulgar language before your with a : 1 :
children? or that would utter teachings,
either by precept or example, that would
tend to load your family into erroneous
paths of morality or religion? \vhut
more or less do many of the tiewspap.-t
of the present day? Many of them con
tain much, calculated to make a modc.-t
aad refined female blush, and lay tln
ground-work of dissolute morals in our
ohildten. .
We—ail men—ate le.-pon-i! ].-, net
only to our Maker, but t> our e.-u-ory.
our families, for the influences we I in
to bear upon those with win mw. . ■ , i
ate or cotumunica: - in any manner. The
i press is fearfully responsible in tIT. re
spect, and should, therefore, bo very
jealous and circumspect in its advocacy of
those principle* of our to oa’ity and
religion, tending to tDo elevation of its
readers in a oon-i-tent and pure lifo.
Morality has only one foun.lati n -the
moral law as promulga t'd in tin- Ten
Commandment,s by Jehovah to Mo.-es
upon Sinai's burning I row. Any other
foundation upon which to pr.-di ate a
system of morality, is vain and unin
fluential, and woith nothing, it 1110-1
he founded upon and pressed homo upon
the conscience* of men, upon the - t rtt
and rigid principles of religion, and in ;
reference, immediately and ultimately, to
our responsibility to our Creator. This;
is as much the duty of the secular prc. x j
us the ministry, or religious press.
Upon this subji el the New York ,S 'an,
very opportunely an ! wi.-dy .-ays: “Our j
journal* fear ,0 touch religious questions,
lest they shall tir up aiiiuir-oiio- which 1
will I'O-aet to their damage. Much far ,

corcn onies arc us pounding 1-ra-s and a

President Hayes.
Mr. Hayes lie I teen swinging mound
the circle pretty extensively recently, f 1
what purpose can only he surmised.
lie knows full Well the precarious ten
urohy which ho holds oili.v. and it ha
been his steady aim since his ftundul nt
inductipu into it, to curvy favor with
sec.ions of (be nation, whether by guile
or strict inlogiity -bis ciafiinosis so
great it is impossiblo to determine.
But Mr. Ilayes docs not lie upon a I- I
ol’rosos devoi lof thorns- He undouhte.ily
has many “a thorn in the hto hufl'et''
him, among wh.eh may he mentioned llm
following as taken limn the Dnthalo
Cumin-, which thus tersely sets ir forth:
‘ Mr. Hayes should be warned in time
lest he fall in the clutches of the law.
Hardly six months in power, lie is already
threaten,d with imprisonment, line and
di,-qualification for cilice. T his is even
worse than the fate that was at one time
hanging over the head oh Andrew John
son; for llu: latter was threatened only
with icmoval and disquaiilieutiuii to hold
Federal offices, while Mi. 11 a\os seems to
be in imminent- peril oh losing his personal
liberty. The crime with which he is
charged is intimidation.
It is alleged that llutheriord Ik Hayes
conspired with one John Sherman to
threaten or in tin, 1 ate one Alonzo B.
Cornell, a citizen of the United States, in
the free exercise of his right, to hold and
enjoy the position of chairman of the Uo
publican Bi„te Committee ol New York,
a tight and privilege secured to him by
the constitution and l..\vs of the United ■
Slates.
“This grave charge, which, il sustained
would expose Mr. Hayes to a fine of not
more than live thousand dollars and im
prisonment for not more Ih.nl ten years,
besides disqualification to hold office un
der the general tioverument, is deliber
ately made by tlie Buffalo Coiumcn i tl, '
one of the foremost Republican journals
ol the State,”
And, concerning which the St. Louis
Times says:
“The partisans of Mr. Hayes will be
unable to disguise the ugly fact that the
action, or non-action, of the Administra
tion in the Cornell ease ixa com; lote and
cowardly surrender, on utter and i; glo
rious back down.”
Says Mr- Hayes: “My Sou shorn policy
is good tor the Southern people, an-! good
! for the IT.ion, amt pleasant to behold,
and God doth know that when y- u taste
its swceetiiess, yo shall be a- gods.”
So said an old tell >w, long time u,_,i to
a woman in a beautiful garden. She put
mull her hand, yielded to the seductive
I flattery, when indeed she saw the bait
1 pleasant to the eyes, and calculated to
1 make one wise; but, lo! it, was as worm
wood and gall, and the nakedm-- of the
twain wasdiscov. n and, and the aihiir ended
in snrov, p ibulati.in and anguish, the
! effects of which permeates a ; classes ol
! society, and clings to the latest posterity.

W ade Hampton.
YV ho has riot heard ef\V-i.le Hampton?
Hi name has become a household word
I in the nation, and of world-wide roputa
: ti- ti. Little, however, do the people
know the great secret of the magic there
is in If- name. The ground wrk of his
y rent tit: sand wiile-spteud p pularity wan
1 laid i-y Li Chl'i-lian mother in the early
i training of her child, by en-tuinping in
j dciibly ujton his infantile mind, principles
ol a living character, which has developed
j the greatest man now upon the American
I continent.
j Mrs. Martin, of Columbia, S. 0., who
has known hi u from boyhood, thus writes
to the Nashville OhrUtiuu Advocate :
“ .V ho has not heard of Wade Ilarnp
! ton, a- General in to, Southern (Jonfcd
| crate unity, and, more recently, a-Gov
ernor of the Mute of Mouth Carolina? A
man whom nil have so delighted to honor
that by this time, as in the ea.-e of the
great and go and Ari tides, some ar tired
of Ik tiring dim called The Ju-t.’ Yet
this title, if not a greater, in conneetion
with our Hampton, we in South farolma
have been uncustomed to hear applied to
him almost from his boyhood, for, if mu.
‘The Ju.it,' lie has always been entitled
‘The Uuod," an even more largely sig
nificant appellation.
“Yes, magic seemed the power of that
name to rouse a prostrate people, and
when aroused to a degrea that searuely
brooked control, to calm them us oil the
' troubled waters calm-. One word from
Hampton, ami ten thousand thou and
| sabers would have leaped from their scab
[hards, un! war might hive been again
| inaugurated, instead of peace, blessed
peace. But what a weight of respond
I bi'ity, in all that trying time, must have
pressed upon that lore must man, the rep
ii-scntative and leader, Hampton! A
I stinin upon soul, mind and body, that
none can know who did not watch, day in
and day out, the process of the political
re.loti ption of Mouth Carolina. Truly
.lid our leader n oil ‘the wi-dom of the
serpent and the harmles no s of the
dove,’ and God, in whom he trusted, and
to whom he prayed, gave him both.
“\\ hen I beheld him pi— through itu
eonsuui'"!, this 1.-ot fiery ordeal of Ins
life, I could n ‘i but roverPto the time 1
knew him in the long ago, when, as a
mere hoy, with his brothers and si.-ter t,
one evening at their home, ‘.Millwood,’ 1 1
heard his pious mother read aloud to;
them the Bible narrative of the ‘Three!
He hr. w Children,' making, as I recollect, |
her annotations on the lesson- The father j
ot these children was called by duty fro- j
.pruitly-from homo, but the mother, the!
tJuristinn mother, olii-.-i ,ted in Ids absotr-e
as prie less of her family, at: 1 we cat! !
trace ‘the unfeigned faith' in one good !
G. vernor to that w hich ‘dw. It (ir. t in his ;
grandmoth. rand Ii s mo 1 her.’ By these
he was carefully in true!ed ill (lie great :
Bible truths, w iiicli arc the best and only
sure foundation for high moral cxeeilcnce. 1
Maid one to Col. Hampton, the Governor's ;
father, w hen the Governor was quite a
youth, ‘How does it come about that God
hie'scs you with such a soil as Wade?'
With eharacteri-tie modesty Col. Hamp
ton replied, '1 expect 1 had very little to ,
do in making him such as he is, but you
must remember lie had a pious mother. ,
A S.viitdle.
A great deal has I icon said in the papers 1
about Indian wars in tin- north west, and ;
especially about Gen. 110-.vard’s pursuit
of the "-•• ea '<• 1" Indian Chief Joseph.
The New York /A rahl Collies to the ;
front with this bit of information upon ,
this subject, when it says, i. “would l-e
excellent if General Howard were really j
looking for Joseph. But ho is engaged;
in an enterprise of a different kind, as we ,
think it our duty now to inform the ;
public, which has been too long misled on i
the subject. We doubt, if there i- any
such man as Joseph, and we venture to
■ay that General Howard could not,even
if he w ould, make oath to the existence of
this Indian Mrs. Harris. There is no
competent proof ol his existence.” But
“as for Gen. Howard, he is engaged in an
interesting exploration of the interior of !
the continent, lie is not Tool ing for a i
man,’ as the street boys say; lie is making
a special 11 ward survey of s,.me parallel
i or another, and as the last besotted Con !
[ guess tailed to make an appropriation for ’
this -.vt rk Howard ingeniously got up a
! sham Indian war and a pretended Chief
I Joseph. It appears that llw-urd's
scientific Operations have been a good
j deal interrupted by Indians, who, w ith an
aversion to science for which they are
; notorious, have stolen his horses, iuter
• ruptod his needed sleep and robbed bis
j party of the,r spare whiskey. And for all
| these sufferings Howard now finds hint
self reviled as a failure oy a public which
supposed that he was pursuing the
Indians when, in fact, they were pursuing
I him. It'this thing goes oil much longer
: the Cause of science will require that some
; one shall a Ivertise in the personaleoluiuii
of the Herald, not for Joseph, but tor
liowaid.”
And thus, to give i.i.l and ccuifort to
1 this mat: Howard of Freedman's Bureau
notoriety, ami once a “pro-i lent or some-
I thing of a colored cim-'ge, whose walls
toll down like those cl llrdo j moo
■ factory,” the country has to bo swindled
1 by the action of a fraudulent President in
I sustaining or sending out this ra-cully
i Howard on an exploring expedition,
! under the fraudulent guise of searching
1 for a veritable Indian, which exists only
as a phantom. Verily this is an age of
fraud, swindle and corruption. Will not
Congress look into this matter, and if the
//■ rah/ i correct in the above, bring the
parties in plicated in the fraud to justice
for tho imposition thus sought to be
' palmed off upon the country?
Tiie Presidency to be Abolished.
Mutation is written indelibly upon
everything earthly. Nature with all its
paraphernalia, general an 1 specific, is not
the same one day with another- Nations,
kingdoms, empire* and -ill human gov
ernments lose their sameness amid the j
ev. r-varying changes of the caprices and
lustful desires of men.
The government of our fathers in lhi- [
“land of the free and hum sof the brave, |
has very j-> rceptibly lost its pristine glory,
and that we now have, is not that for 1
ivki li our fathers fought and bled. An 1 ;
now we find the last relic of our ancient [
glory about to be swept away to gratify ,
the carnal desires of base politicians. For j
the A’- .as ami Courier lias this for us to
reflect upon, extorting from us the ill- !
quiiy, whither are we drifting?
“Several mim.rously signed memorials
' will b. jo "--euted to Coiiere-s next

I low extensive such a desire prevail.- j
as expressed in the above for aboasliing 1

in the above the leaven is seen, and there j
is no telling how soon tho who!.: lump;
