WAsm11o-roN, OCt. 2. -- Ex-Marsal 1 it.kinl, a nlative of Louisiana, who, during the past fortnight has beel regaining here the 1physical strength lo.t during a recent sovero yellow fever attack at New Orleans, was visited by your correspondent to-day with the following rosult-: "Marshal., I see you are not in the Northern canvass ; do you make any speeches boforo your return ?" "No ; I had sptpulated to speak at the West early last month, but my illness prevented. "Will you elect any Re,)l1;-ican Congressmon in Louisiana? "Not one. I suspect that some of the Federal appointoos signified up hero that they had a Congres sional district hare and thoro in their pockot, but not one can be delivored, I apprehond. Tho Re publicans, indeed, are not now at work as an organization, but may to some extent reinforce the Nationale, who have nomines in the first.tlirce Congressional districts. I am a member of the Republican State Central Committee and never before knew such Ilukowarmnoss in the ranks as is now mnlilifost." "Do you ascribe this result to Mr. Hay1s' 'lpolicy?' " "The Republican party of the North is responsible. By its re construction plan it propped the Southern States with a military crutch, and when the President knocked it from under Louisiana this same party had for three years been denouncing the prop through its leading prints and the lipfs of a very considerablo elenieni. Grant's Attorney Goneral, Pierrepont, wrote Ames, of Mississippi, in '75, 'The public are tired out with these annial autumnal outbreaks.' Amos wen t dowi as the Republicans of Arkansas had toppled the year bo.. fore. Grant found himself antag onized by strong Republicans in Congress and by the more oracular joinnals of Lhe party, and so the Federal soldio, y wore pllled back northward by the coatt-ail, company by com1pany, regiment by regiment, until a meagre force was left at ro, moto points only. Grant's last official despatch southward from the White House was an admission to Augur that public sentiment would no longer sanction the maintenance of Southern State governments by Federal soldiery. He complainoad to me, and doubtless to others, nearly two years before, that this sen timen t afl'ordedl him so little support, outside of village papers, in what ho conceived lhe ought to (do with reference to the South." "Then do you think that Presi dent Hayes' policy faiily consists with that old Republican senti ment ?" THlE NEGRO NEGLEcTED. "The Republican party obviously thinks so as a whole, however restive seine of its statesmen, like ' Senator Conling, may be as to the Southern experiment. Look at its platforms in the October and No vember States this year. In that of Iowa alone is there any token of marked dissent. Conventions tu rn their backs on the South and an nounce that the finances are the paramount andl practically the only issue. The fault goes down deepe~r than any administration. He has done his utmiost to hold his Re~ publican outposts at the South and has gone down with them. The - p)arty that enfranchised him into a target has abandoned him even while sereaming 'outrages,' and with every pi'ovocation under Democratic criticisms mn this year's campaigns. ,Xt attempts no vindication or defence of its dealing with the - South and forgets its 'sacred honor' postulate save as regards the holder of a bond or duo bill-an obligation, of course, to bo scrupulously met. The sternest censors upon the National Republican partly to-day at the South are not Democrats, but Republicans, who, however simple and ignorant they may be, are generous-minded and quicko'ned with a keen instinct for- fair blay. I fear the divorce must come;i the R~epublican North has abandoned the political domicile wvhich its own hands fashioned It is a confession that reconstruction has been an utter and ignoble failure. The confession was substantially made, indeed1 b.efore Mr, flayes entered the White lHouse. The party hald already spanked the sod with a spade over its own issiues, and this fall it has put a s1lab over the sod," THE sOLuD BdU2iHl Td . tE j N OLSoD. pliti a\ft?~ reg piig Te eood element og nine-tonthis of the Ropublican force will doubtless fool thomsolves ab solved from all further obligation to a party that, after exliusting their utility, ignores them awl donies to their claim shaped by the Northein R1)ublicans tllslMLlVes It st-ttii 1 equal at lo,it, to that of the cOnolmical question in this ealvass.

A T the r o it meeting of the State Board ot &-x: miners, at Col; mbia, SANDFORD'S SE'Es OF ANALYTICAL ARITIIMETICS Was. among other text-books, ad pted fir usc in the public schools of South Carolina for the next five years. These Aithmetics are the out-como of thirty years experience of DR. SHELTON P. SANFORD of Georgia, one of the most skilful and Muccessful teachers in this country In clearness of definitions, fullness of slate exercises, thoroughneps of analysis and general completeness, they are unsurpassed, if indeed, equalled. They are eminently practical. Studying Sanford, pupils learn to think. Sinco'71-'73, Vany have been in use in the public and private schools of Charles ton city, in the private schools of Colum bia, etc., etc. Read the following en dorsements based on use of the books in the school: From HoN. Huon S. TuoMPsON, State Superintendent of Education. (At the time of writing) Principal Male Academy, Columbia, S. C., "Sanford's Arithmetics are sup 3rior to any that I have seen, in the fullnss of the examples, the clearness and jimplicity of the analyses, and the accuracy of the. rules and (einitions. This opinion is based upon a full and tho.ough test in the school-room. To those teachers who may examine these Arithmetics with reference to introduction, 1 would es pecially commend the treatment of Per centage and Profit and Loss. No text books that I have ever used are so satis factory to teachers and pupils." From Miss E. A. KELLY. Principal Char leston, (S. C.) Female Seminary. "CHAuLESTON, July 13, 1878.-Sanford's om mon School and Sanford's Higher Analytical Arithmetic have for five years F;tood the test of constant use in our class rooms. Wu think them better adapted to the wai,ts of our school than any other arithmetics with which we are acquainted." Under (date of July 22, 1878, Mrss MAnY 4 UnlOwNFIELD, .Sutumerville, S. ('.,writesg; "itaving used Sanford's Arithmetics( and Worcester's Dictionaries for several years as scl,ool books, an I seeing the beneficial results, I take great pleasure in i recon-mending them to the favorable notice of teachersi " From Miss ISAnEL D. MARTIN, Principal liigh School for Girls, Columbia, S. 0. "It affords me p)leasure to give my most unqualified dommendation ot San ford's Arithmetics.
