i.:: V THE PBESIDE5TS POLICY. f-' A Singing letter from Senator HOI, of Oa. BgT atlakta, Ga.; October 2, 1S73. My Deab. Sir?In this day of mach printing it is almost impossible to have one's opinions: or motives correctly rep? resented. I suppose it is because mis? representation is so easy. I have never cas; any "slurs on the President." I have never expressed any "bitterness * towards Mr. Hayes," because I have never felt any. I have never complained ... or indulged in pique because Mr. Hayes - " did not appoint persons to office who were recommended by me. I have never recommended any. I have endorsed ' . some applicants as qualified, and have l. - greatly desired to see-the civil service ?mproved?especially in the South. I trust no man who knows me needs to be assured that, in the discharge of my public duties, I am incapable of being influenced by personal pique and dis ?'?-' appointments. With-me all personal feelings and relations, whether or friend? ship or otherwise, are subordinated to the pnblic good. But I should be very t'.ncandid if I did not confess that I have.been most grievously disappointed in Mr. Hayes and his administration. If my grievances were only personal, the world would never suspect it in my offi? cial conduct and opinions. It is because my grietance relates only to our Na? tional character and the pnblic weal that I make known its existence, and will proceed to set forth briefly the reasons ' for it. I believe that what is known as our ? "civil service" as it now exists, and has long existed, is a crime against popular government and civilization. I believe it has bsen the chief cause of many trou? bles and corruptions in the past, and, if not thoroughly reformed, will surely un dcrmino and destroy onr free institu? tions. I will- not stop here to discuss the grounds of this belief. They have been long and well considered, and have Sroducea absolute conviction. I always id abhor that old party slogan, "To the victor belongs the spoils," It was never suited to any but bandits and plunderers, and was always disgraceful to men claiming to be patriots and statesmen. It reduces the science of government to the ?tricks of gamblers, the hypocrisy of demagogues, and the bit ws of ruffians. I heard Mr. Hayes ,fnen, in his inaugural address, he an? nounced bis policy, or rather his pur? pose of civil service reform. To say I was pleased, would feebly express the truth. In spite of my conviction that ho was not elected by the people, but ? owgd-hia office to unmitigated frauds for . wbioh I believed he was not responsible, I felt frilling to bury this last and great? est wrong with the many that had pre? ceded it. and for which all sides were more or less responsible, and unite my bumble efforts in support of a policy which, in my judgment, promised escape to our whole country from all such wrongs in the future. What is spoken of as Mr. Hayes' ' Southern policy was of far less signifi? cance. This Southern policy was a necessity of the situation. Mr. Hayes had no power to avoid it, The end of carpet bag plnndering in the South and disgrace to the Nation bad come by events. Even General Grant saw that the army could no longer be used to set? tle contested- elections in the States, and maintain robbers in power. But . with onr corrupt and ever corrupting civil service the situation-was different. This evil had its origin before the war. It bad, grown up ander the nurture of the leaders of parlies. It had pushed its biazen supporters and beneficiaries to th a front seats of authority. It had grown and strengthened with every year, and seemed to have entrenched >tself impregnably during General Grant's administration. When, there? fore, in the very day of its insolent power, in the very midst of its pampered oourliers, and on the very field of its greatest sway, Mr. Hayes announced in clear and unfaltering voice his purpose to strangle this hydra of many heads, he seemed to exhibit the courage, manli? nesss and patriotism of one worthy to be President. This exhibition gave me ^ high hopes of the man, and several early, . free and frank interviews which I felt encouraged to seek with him greatly -rtrer.gtb.ened and encouraged these 'hopes. Now, my friend, it is the utter and rickening disappointment which these hopes have experienced, and nothing else, which has forced from me the few I words to which you allude, and which j have been falsely construed by Eepub . liean papers to 'express personal bitter- j ness and hostility on my part toward 'Mr. Hayes. In my opinion, Mr. Hayes . has utterly failed to improve?indeed, has strangely thrown away?an oppor? tunity to make for himself a name worthy to be enrolled with that of Washington, because that opportunity improved would have conferred on his ? country a benefit quite equal to any conferred by Washington himself. He has failed because be has shown himself utterly unequal to his opportunity. He has shown hirr self nnequal in that he has utterly failed to realize that the Chief Magistrat of a great country has no personal friends, no personal ene? mies, and owes no personal obligations, but is under obligations only to his country, and to that country's honor, j glory, prosperity, Constitution and laws. He has thrown away his opportunity to honor himself and even his country by recognizing an Obligation? to reward those who t>y frauds most disgraceful to their country gave him this opportunity.; ?~ He has thrown away the grandest op Eortunity ever jriven to a man, only that1 e might give offices and rewards to as j worthless a set of rapscallions as ever disgraced humanity. A man may be ' come President by reason of a crime, and yet himself not be tainted or even culpable. Twice, in our history, have men - become. Presidents by reasons of crime. Andrew Johnson became - President by retisou of a wicked and foul assassination. Mr. Hayes became Pres? ident by reason of a wicked and foul conspiracy to change, and which did change, the ballots of nhe people after those ballots bad been cast. Yet each became President through the forms of the Constitution and laws. How did Mr. Johnson deal with those who committed and who were charged with aiding to commit the crime by which he became President ? He pursued them for punishment with J sach vigor that, as all the world now believe, an innocent woman was hanged. How has Mr. Hayes dealt with those who committed, and those 1 who were charged with aiding to com- j mit, the crime by which he became President? If you will examine the list from the humblest manager of the election precincts in Florida and Louisi? ana, through the visiting statesmen as they are now in mockery called, and np to and through the Electoral Commis? sion, and show me one, black or white, high or low, who is known tobe guilty, or who is suspected of the guilt of this crime, who has not re? ceived or been offered an office, you will relieve to that extent the pain and mor? tification I feel in looking over these sickening developments. There was a woman charged to be among the con? spirator* in both crimes. In Mr. John? son's case Mrs. Surratt, protesting her innocence with an honest woman's tears, *' and a devoted mother's entreaties, was chained and mocked and bung! In - Mr. Hayes' case, Agnes Jenks, confess j> ing her gniltin brazen gibberish never before equalled, receives an office of good pay and little work in the Treasu? ry, and that, too, at a time when many . iadjea of unquestioned worth, with hun gry children, and husbands slain in bat? tle, were rudely turned away with the gruff answer, "no vacancies." If, in? stead of fleeing as a criminal, Wilkes Booth had sought the presence of-An? drew Johnson as one who bad rendered the latter good service, and Mr. John? son had entertained him at the Execu? tive Mansion and given him an office, what would the world have said ? What would you say ? Letters have been produced before the Potter Committee, written by Re? publican members of Congress, which were written to Republican friends and not intended for publication, which strikingly exhibit the superior influence of Kellogg, Packard, Wells aud Ander? son at the Executive Mansion. In other ways we know now that almost every person connected with the fraud has claimed or exercised specia. influence or favor at the White House. But the contrast may be stated in one short sen? tence. In Mr. Johnson's case all the criminals, real or suspected, were spe? cially marked for punishment. In Mr. Hayes' case all the criminals, real or suspected, were specially marked for re? ward. i I would be really glad if I could find some excuse, some apology., or some pal? liation foir the course Mr. Hayes has pursued in this matter. But, after full consideration, lean find none. It is no palliation to say that assassination was a greater crime than fraud. Both were crimes. If it is right to ireward crime I at all, then the greatest crimes should receive the highest rewards. Yon can j not produce innocence, much lesi merit, j by grading crimes. All deserve punish I ment and none are entitled to reward. | To reward fraud is a greater crime than to commit it, .for the reward invites many commissions. If Andrew John? son had rewarded Booth, the whole world' would have pronounced him a greater criminal than Booth. It. is diffi? cult to conceive of a greater crime than the defeat by fraud of the popular will in a government which rests on the pop? ular will. If there be a g -eater enme, it is committed by those who reward the authors of such fraud, for such reward | invites the perpetual defea; of the pop? ular will, and,' therefore, a direct sub? version cf the government, and assumes | the most insiduous form of treason. It is worse than no excuse?it is itself a crime?to say that Mr. Hayes was under obligations to these authors of fraud. If there had been no assassin Booth, there would have been no President Johnson. But, was the President, there? fore under obligation to the assassin 7 If there hnd been no frauds in Florida and Louisiana there would have been no President Hayes. Is the President, therefore, under obligation to all who helped commit the fraud ? It seems that , all have claimed reward. - | It is no apology to say ihat Mr. Hayes ! did not believe these people were guilty of any fraud. It was his duty to pro? tect the characer of the nation and the integrity of the Administration. He can do neither by placing great numbers of men in office who are charged with crimes, and whom largely more than half of the people believa are guilty. In truth, I do not believe any intelligent man doubts their guilt. But I trust we have in this country a sufficient number of men of unsuspected honesty to fill the offices, and both the public charac? ter and the public intemts require that only such men should be appointed. Besides, if these men were in truth in? nocent they would uot h .ve asked or ac? cepted office from Mr. Hayes, for they would not have been willing to bring weakness upon the Administration nor disrepute upon the civil service. Their universal and brazen demands for office is the highest proof of their guilt; for it shows they care nothing for Mr. Hayes ?nothing for the honor of the country ?nothing for the good repute of the civil service. Their every act in press? ing for office shows tl at reward was their object, and reward they mast have. Every man of the guilty gang who has not been satisfied with the office offered him has confessed the frauds. Every man who has not confessed the frauds has been kept satisfied w th office. Why should he confess whose confession would defeat his reward ? How does it happen that those only are not entitled to belief who confess the frauds? And how does it happen that the credit ^ of none was denied until after confession was made? It is no palliation now to say that the larger number of these appointments were made by certain members, or by a member, of the Cabinet. If Mr. John? son had made Wilkes Booth a member of his Cabinet, he could not have com? plained if Booth bad provided place; for his tools and subordinates. Never? theless, if, when the revelations on this subject were made before the Potter Com? mittee, Mr. Hayes had promptly order? ed a sweeping purgatic n from the civil service of these obnoxious characters, as I greatly hoped he would do, he would have been largely vindicated. In? stead, however, of dismissing any he ap? pointed more, and somu of the appoint? ments seemed to the s pecial purpose of suppressing or affecting testimony be- j fore that committee. If anything were i wanting to increase the wicked heinous ness of the frauds upon the ballots in Florida and Louisiana, it would be found in the only excuse which the authors and abettors of these frauds have offered for their perpetration. It must never be forgotton that the great facts are not denied bu". admitted, to-wit: That the ballots were changed after they were cast, and the verdict of the people reversed after it had b :en rendered aud was known. The excuse for this, as al? leged, is that there were intimidations at the precincts which prevented a free expression of the people. If this excuse is false in fact, tuen the crime stands confessed without excuse. Thoso of us I who have been familiar with carpet-bag [ villainies, knew from the first that the j excuse was false. Bi t the proof now j revealed abundantly shows that the ex? cuse is not only false, but was actual? ly manufactured for the express purpose j of a cover for the fraud. Thus the ex? cuse itselt becomes a part of the fraud, and the most infamous part of it. Not only was the excuse i -self manufactured, but the evidence to make the excuse de? ceive the Northern people was also manufactured in the Custom House in New Orleans, and ehewhere. Forgeries are shown to have been numerons, and perjuries were secured under promises of I reward. In this vile work men holding high positions took active part, and ; every one who took such part has re? ceived high office from Mr. Hayes, and has thus been enabled te become him? self a dispenser of rewards to his subor? dinates. Take it all in all?its origin, its ex? tent, its wicked adroitness, its delibera? tion, the variety of characters engaged, its numberless perjuries and reckless forgeries, its marvelous success and its absolute control of a great government of unequal patronage for its rewards ?and it must be confessed that the Presidential fraud of 1876 is without a parallel in auy history. It dwarfs all other frauds, conspiracies and robberies into comparative insignificance. If al? lowed to go unpunished it will elevate ' perjury into a vir. le, forgery into an art, and will reduce usurpation to a science! The Administration which I for one bad fondly hoped would inau? gurate a oew era of elevation, purity and efficiency in our civil service, has per? sistently identified its life, its power and its character with the frauds of its origin, and has thus done more thou all our previous history to bring that civil service into disrepute, and the advocates of its reform to ct nfusion and shame. The keenest pang of all is that which springs from the fact that will not down, thai; all this has been done to silence, gratify and reward as vile a set of scoundrels as ever robbed without re? morse or lied without blushing. It has given me no pleasuee to write this letter. I have been "slow and re? luctant to givo up the hopes I had formed of this Administration. I am not willing even now to discredit my own judgment of men so far as to ad? mit that my first impressions of Mr Hayes were altogether incorrect. I pre? fer to believe, and do believe, that he has fallen under the control of men who were deeply involved in the guilt of this fraud, and whose power over him be has not been able to resist. Even now, if he Vr-ould purge his Administra? tion of every person connected with the frauds, he might yet rally good men to his support, and close his term of service with something of benefit to bis country and respect for himself. But I fear the serpents of fraud have their coils so wrapped around him that he is unable, and may have become unwilling, to re? lease himself. There is but one more step between our free institutions and de? struction. The Government has become identified with fraud, and is administered by the authors of fraud. If the people shail fail to repudiate the fraud and its authors, abettors and rewarders, then we shall have entered upon that phase of] our career when the offices and immense patronage of this richest of countries will take the form of glittering prizes offered to induce the commissions of | crimes against the popular will. Assas? sins will bo made heroes, and the great? est criminals will become most entitled to enjoy the honors aud live on the bene? factions of Government. Beyond that, the man who talks of the safety and pu? rity of public governments will be a lunatic. Your friend, Bekj. H. Hill. Hon. Robert C. Humber, Eaton ton, Ga._ Miss Clara Louise Kellogg. Preceding Miss Kellogg'a concerts the newspapers teem with favorable notices, extracts from the press, and testimonials from the 'ate President Lincoln and others, reminding people of the power of I voice possessed by one of America's sweetest si tigers. If your confidence be secured by such advertisements, why shake the head and doubt while reading the testimonials of positive cures effected by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription ? It is nonsense for ladies afflicted with the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex to continue to suffer, or to submit to the harsh and caustic treatment now in vogue. The Favorite Prescription is sold by druggists under a positive guar? antee to cure. ? Col. Sam Dickerson, the celebrated colored lawyer in Charleston, was so cap? tivated with General Moise's speech at the grand Democratic demonstration on Wednesday, that he has abandoned the Radical party and joined the invincible red-shirt Democracy. It is mentioned as an incident of tho day that the drummer of the German Artillery being taken ill very suddenly, Col. Dickerson, who is an old drummer, and who served through the war in the Con fed rate army, at once volunteered to take his place, and marched down at the head of the Artil? lery, keeping time for the men.

The mortgage debt of the South Carolina Railroad, according to Judge Bonds decision rendered at Baltimore, is $6,000,000, and its floating indebtedness nearly $1,200,000. Death in the Staff of Life.?By the use of deleterious baking powder, bread becomes, instead of healthy food,an unwholesome mass, ruining the digestive organs. This danger may be avoided by usiBg only Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, which is decided by chemists to be perfectly wholesome. Deals Directly with Nature.? In extracting fruit flavors, Dr. Price deals directly with nature, and leaves the use of artificial extracts to those who have not the chemical knowledge to extract j from the true fruits. Dr. Price's Special Flavoring Extracts are conceded to have no peeri. in the market. Extra Liability to Malarial Infection. Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to the attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exposure; may, under such condi? tions, infect a system which, if healthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. The only way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. These results are accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safeguard against fever and ague and kindled disor? ders, as well as the best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent in vigorant of the organs of urination, and an active depurent, eliminating from the blood those acrid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments.

PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy.

This Is not a patent medicine, but Is prepared under the direction of Dr. M. w. Case, from his favorite prescription, which In an extensive practice of over twenty-seven years he has found most effective in all cases of disordered liver or impure blood. It Is ANTI-BILIOUS. It acts directly upon the liver, restoring It when diseased to its normal condition; and In regulating the activity of this great gland every other organ of the system is benefited. In Blood Diseases it has no equal as a purifier. It im? proves digestion, and assists nature to eliminate all impurities from the system; and while it is the cheapest medicine in the market, it is also superior to all known remedies. While it Is more effectual than Bine Mora, it Is mild and perfectly safe, containing nothing that can In the slightest degree injure the system. It does not sicken or give pain; neither docs It weaken the patient, nor leave the system constipated, as do most other medicines. Heartburn, Sick Stomach, Jaundice. Colic, Vertigo, Neuralgin, Palpitation of the Heart, Female Irrecularlties and Wcukneu, all Skin and Blond Disease*, Worms, Fever and Ague, and. Constipa? tion of the Bowels. In small doses It Is also a sure cure Cor Chronic Diarrhoea. Taken two or three times a ?ny, It pre? vent* Yellow Fever, Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Cholera, and Small-Pox. , U t\MM Trt RB U?B Dr. Case's live? *tmZ^mJLzJSJim Remedy and Blood your own Purlller'a Plawwt ^A^rrrAvi Tonic and Cordial. doctor ANTI-BILIOUS.
