THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY.
A Ulngtag latter from Senator Hill, of Ci?.
ATLANTA, GA., October 2,1878.
MY DEAE SIB-IO this dav of much
printing it is almost impossible to have
ono's opinions or motives correctly ny
resented, T aup?os o it is because mis*
representation M so easy. leave never
cast any "alura ou tho President." . I
have never expressed any "bitterness
* towards Mr. Hayes," because I have
never felt any. I have never complained
or iudulged in pique because Mr. Hayei
did not appoint persons to office who
were recommended by rae. I have never
recommended any. I have endorsed
some applicants tn qualified, and have
greatly desired to see the civil service
ira proved--especially in ?ho South. I
trust no man who knows me needs to be
assured that, in the discharge of my
fmblic duties,'I am incapable of being
pfluenced by per?.onnl piquo and dis
appointment:*. With me all persoual
feelings and relations, whether ot friend
ship or otherwise, are subordinated to
the public good. But I ehouhl be very
uncandid if I did not confess that I
have been most grievously disappointed
in Mr. Hayes and bis administration.
If my grievances wereonly personal, the
world would nover suspect it in my offi
cial conduct and opinions. It ls because
my grievance relates only to our Na
tional character and the public weal that
Tmake known ita cxistenco, and will
proceed to set forth briefly tho 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
fovcrnraent and civilization. I believe
t has been the chief cause of many trou
bles and corruptions in tbe past, and, if
not thoroughly reformed, will sui ely un
dermine and destroy our free institu
tions. I will not stop hero to discuss
tho grounds of this belief. They have
been long and well considered, and have
Sroduccdabsoluto conviction. I always
id abhor that old party slogan, "To
the victor belongs ttio spoils." lt was
never suited to any but bandits and
plunderers, and was always disgraceful
to men claiming lo bo patriots and
statesmen. It reduces tho science of
government to the ?tricks of gamblers,
tho hypocrisy of demagogues, and tho
blows of ruffians. I heard Mr. Hayes
when, in bis inaugural address, ho an
nounced his policy, or rather his pur
pose of civil service reform. To Bay I
was pleased, would feebly express the
truth. In spite of ray conviction that
he was not elected by the people, but
owed his office to unmitigated fnimbi for
which I bs!ie?ed ho wes not responaiblo.
I felt willing to bury this last and great
est wrong with the many that bud pre
ceded it, end for which all sides were
more or less responsible, and unite my
humble efforts in support of a policy
which, in my judgment, promised escape
to our whole country from all swC'h
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
bad no power to avoid it. The end of
carpet bag plundering in the South and
disgrace to the Nation had come by
ovc?U. Even Gcaeral Grant that
the army could no longer be used to set
tle contested elections lu tho States,
and maintain robbers in power. But
with our corrupt and ever corrupting
civil service the situation was different.
This evil had its origin bofore the war.
It had grown up under the nurture of
the leaders of parties. It had puahed
its brazen supporters and rusnnnciiiriM
to the front eeate ?f authority. It had
grown and strengthened with every
?rear, and seemed to have entrenched
tself impregnably during General
Grant's administration. When, there
fore, in tho very day of its insolent
power, in the very midst of its pampered
courtiers, ?od on the very field of ile
greatest sway, Mr. Hayes announced ie
clear and uufaltcn?g voice his purpose
to strangle this hydra of many heads,
he seemed to exhibit the courage, manli
ness and patriotism of one worthy to be
President. Thia exhibition gave me
high hopes of the man, and several early,
. free and frank interviews which I felt
encouraged to seek with him greatly
strengthened and encouraged these
Now, ni/ friend, it Is the utter and
sickening disappointment which these
hopes have experienced; and not bi UK
oise, which has forced from me the few
words to which you allude, and which
have been falsely construed by Repub
' Hean-papers to express personal bitter
ness ana hostility on my part toward
Mr. Hayes. In my opinion, Mr. Haye:
bas utterly failed to improve-indeed,
has strangely thrown away-an oppor
tunity to make for himself a name
worthy to be enrolled with that ol
Washington, because that opportunity
improved would have conferred oh bia
country a benefit quita equal to any
conferred by Washington himself. He
has failed because he has shown hirasall
utterly unequal to his opportunity, He
has shown himself coequal in that he
has utterly failed to realize that the
Chief Magistrate of a great country has
nu persona' friends, no personal ene
mies, and owes no personal obligations,
but is under obligation-- only to his
country, and to that country's honor,
flory, ?rcaperUy, Constitution and laws,
fa bas thrown away his opportunity tc
honor himself and even his country by
recognizing an obligation to reward
thos? who l>y frauds moat diagrasoful tc
their country gave him this opportunity
He has thrown away the - grandest op
portunity ever given to a man, only thal
ho might give offices and rewards to ai
worthless a set of rapscallions as evei
disgraced humanity. A man may be
come President by reason of a crime
and yet himself not be tainted or ever
culpable. Twice, in our history, have
?u6? bcCoras ?rcsidcr.ti . by rsiteoiii
of crime. Andrew Johnson became
President by reason of a wicked and foul
assassination. Mr. Hayes became Pres
iden!, by reason of a wicked and foul
conspiracy to change, and which did
change, the ballots of tho people aftei
those ballots had been east. Yet eact
became President through. tho formB ol
the Constitution and laws.
How did Mr. JohoBon deal with thost
who committed and who were charg?e
with aiding to commit th? erirai
hy which he became President ? Hi
pursr.30 them for p??Dihmciit witt
ouch vigor that, as all the work
now believe, au innocent womat
was banged. How bas Mr. Hayes deal
with those who committed, and thosi
who wera charged with aiding to oom
mit, the crime by which be beean*
President? If you will examine the Us
from the humblest manager of tin
election precincts in Florida and Louiai
ana, through ibo vWitirig statesmen &
they are now In mockery called, and oj
to and through the Electoral Commis
sion, ?nd show mo cae, black or white

Me. Hayes'- caee? Agnes Jeak?t confess
tog her gnilt in brazen gibberish neve:
gry children, and husbands slain in bat
tle, were rudely turned away with the
gruff answer, "no vacancies." It', in
stead of fleeing as a rn&iiii?l, Wilkes
Booth bad sought the presence of Au
drew Johnson as one who had rendered
tho latter good servi le, and Mr. John
son had entertained inn at the Exccu
tivo Mansion and givsn bim an oflice,
what would the world have said ? What
would you say 7
Letters bavo neen produced before
tho Potter Committee, written by Re
publican members of Congress, which
were written to Republican .'.lends and
not intended for publication, which
strikingly exhibit the superior iufluonre
of Kellogg, Packard. Wells and Ander
son at tlie Executive Mansion. Io other
ways we kuow now tba? almost every
person connected with tho fraud lins
claimed or exercised special influence or
favor at the White House. But the
contrast may be lated in one short sen
tence. In Mr. Johnson's case ali the
criminals, real or suspected, were spe
cially ruarked for punishment. In Mr.
Hayes' case all tbe criminals, real or
suspected, wero specially marked for re
ward.
I I would be really glad if I could find
some excuse, some apology, or some pal
liation for tlie courso Mr. Hayes has
pursued in this matter. But, after full
I consideration, I can find none. It Is no
palliation lo sny that assassination was
a greator crime than fraud. Both were
crimes. If it is right to reward crime
nt all, then the greatest crimes should
receive the highest rewards. You can
not produce innocence, much less merit,
by grading crimes. All deserve punish
ment and none are entitled to reward.
To reward fraud is a greater crime tlir.n
to commit it, for the reward invites
many commissions. If Andrew John
son had rewarded Booth, the whole
world would have pr..'jounced bim a
greater criminal than Booth. It is diffi
cult to conceive of a greater crime than
I tho defeat by fraud of the popular will
in a government which rests on the pop
ular will. If there be a greater crime,
i it is committed by those wno reward tho
j aut'iors of such fraud, for such reward
invite i tho perpetual defeat of the pop
ular will, and, therefore, a direct nub
version cf the government, and assumes
the most insiduous form of treason. It
is worso than no excuse-it ia itself a
crime-to nay that Mr. Hayes was under
obligations to these authors of fraud.
If lhere hud been no assassin Booth,
there would have been no President
Johnson. But, was the President, there
fore uudor obligation to tho assassin? Il
there had been no frauds in Florida and
Louisiana there would have been ne
President Hayes. Is the President,
therefore, under obligation to all who
helped commit tho fraud? It seems that
all have claimed reward.
It is no apology to Bay that Mr. Hayes
[did not belfevo these pcoplo wero guilty
of any fraud. It- was bis duty to pro
tect tho characer of tho nation and tin
integrity of the Administration. He can
do neither by placing creat numbers ol
men in oflice who are charged witt
crimes, and whom largely more thar
half of the people believe are guilty. Ir
truth, I do not believe any intelligent
mnn doubts their guilt. But I trust wi
have in this country a sufficient nun. JC.
of men of unsuspected honesty to lil
tho offices, and both tbs public charnc
ter sud the public interests require tba
only such men should be appointed
Besides, it these men were in truih in
uocent they would unt have asked or ac
cepted office from Mr. Hnyts, for the]
would not have been willing to brinj
weakness upon tho Administration no
disrepute upon the civil service. Th ci
universal and brazen demands for ollie
is the highest proof of their guilt ; for i
shown they caro nothing for Mr. Haye
-nothing' for the honor of the cou n tr;
-nothing for tho good reputo of th
civil service. Their every act inpress
lng for office Bhows that reward wa
their object, and reward they must have
Every man of tho guilty gang who ha
not been satisfied with the office offere
him has confessed the frauds. Ever,
man who hos not confessed the fraud
bas bt-ec kept satisfied -*.th yffico. Wh;
should he confess whoso confcitsioi
would defeat his reward ? How does I
happen that those only aro not entitle
to belief who confess the frauds? An
how doe9 it happen that the Credit C
none was denied until after coufessio
was mado?
It is no palliation now to say that tb
larger number of these appointment
were made by certain members, or by
member, of the Cabinet. If Mr. Jobi
ann had made Wilkes Buctb a nicrabc
of bis Cabinet, he could not havo con
filained if Booth bad provided plac<
br his tools and subordinates. Neve
theless, if, when tho revelations on th
subject were made beforo tho Potter Con
millee, Mr. Hayes had promptly orde
cd a sweeping purgation from tho civ
service of theso obnoxious character
as I greatly hoped ho would do, 1
would nave boen largely vindicated. Ii
stead, however, of dismissing any he n]
pointed more, sud some of the appoin
monta scorned to the special, purpose
suppressing or affecting tcstinuny b
foro that committee. If anything we
wanting to increase the Wicked heinou
ness of tho frauds upon the ballots I
Florida and Louisiana, it would !
found in the only axcuso which tl
authors and abettors of these fran
have offered for their perpetratio
It must never bo forgot ton that the gre
facts aro not denied but admitted, to-wi
That tho ballots were changed after tbs
were cast, and the verdict of tho pcop
reversed after it bad been rendered ai
was known. The excuse for thia, as t
leged, is thut there wero intimidatio
at the precincts which prevented a fr
expression of tho people. If this excu
is raise in fact, then tho crime stan
confessed without excuse. Those of
who havo boen familiar with carpet-b
villainies, knew from the first that t
excuse wa.-, false. But the proof ni
revealed abundantly shows that the e
euee la not only false, bot was actui
ly ssnnufactufed for th? Mnrcu nurrx
.of a cover for the fraud. Thus"the"e
cuse itselt becomes a part of the frat
and tho most infamous part of it. IS
only waa1 the excuse itself mnnufactun
but tho evidence to make the excuse <
?eive the Northern people was a
manufactured In the Custom House
New Orleans, and elsewhere. Forger
j are shown to have been numerous, a
I perjuries were secured under promises
reward. In this vile work men hold!
high positions took activo part, n
every one who^ took such part has
I c?iv?u uigu O iii Co fruin Mr. U?<f??, ?
hos thus beea enabled te become hi
salt' a dispenser of rewards to his sub
dinatcs.
Take it a'l In ell-Its origin, its i
tent, its wicked adroitness, its del ?be
tion, tho variety of characters eogag
its numberless . perjuries and reek!
forgeries, its marvelous success and
absolute control of ? great goverunv
nf unequal patronage for Tts rewa
-and it must be confessed that i
Presidential fraud of 1670 is without
; parallel in any history. It dwarfs
other fraud?, conspiracies and robbei
into comparativo insignificance. If
lowed to go unpunished it will elev
perjury into a virtue, forgory into
art, and will reduce usurpation t<
selene? I Tho Administration whicl
for one had fondly hoped would in
gurato ? new ora of elevation, purity .
sf5eh,vncy \u our civil service, has \
tdatcni?j identified its lifo, ita po
and its character sith the frauds of
origin, and has thus.done tio?a than
our previous history to bring that c
service into disrepute, and tbs advoc.
of its reform to coo.fuaion and sha
scoundrels RS ever robbed without re
morse or lied without blushing.
It lins given me no pleasuec to write
this letter. I have been*slow and re
luctant to givo up tho hopes I had
formed of this Administration. I a-n
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
ha; fallen under ?'>n control of men
who were deeply involved in the guilt
of this fraud, and where power over
him he has not been able to toeist. Even
now, if he would purge his Administra
tion of every person connected with the
frauds, he might yet rally good men to
his support, and close bis term of service
with something of benefit to his country
and respect for himself. Hut I fear the
serpents of fraud havo their coils so
wrapped around him that be 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 ie administered
by the authors of fraud. If thc people
shall fail to repudiate the fraud and its
authors, abettors and rewardcrs, then we
Hhall have entered upon that phase of |
our career when the offices aud immense
patronage of this richest of countries
will take the form of glittering prizes
offered to indtico the commissions of |
crimes ngaiu^t tho popular will. Assas
sins will oe made heroes, and the great
est criminals will become most entitled
.o enjoy the honors and live on the bene
factions of Government, Beyond that,
tho man who talks of the safety and pu
rity ol'public governments will be a
lunatic Your friend,

way to sccuru immunity from malaria in
localities where it is prevalent, is to tone

weakened digestion,* enriching thc blood,
and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary
secretion. These results arc accomplished
by nothing so effectively as Hosteler's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to bo tho most reliable safeguard

Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYgr&FMA AMD SICK USADACItZ.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge cf 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 ; .-.omctimcs the pain is
felt tinder 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, heav^
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; hts 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, ne distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
