Tltl-WEEKIY EDI1r(.)N.} WINNSBORO. S. C., THURkDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1878 I 2 . HAYES AND TIHE SOUTIL --0 CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS AS TO 1115 PREMENT A TTI2'UDE. Sectional Fires Rekindled at the North --A Crusade Against the "Solid South".. The Campaign of 1880 Be gun--Curioulties of Ballot-Box Stuff-. ing. [Special to the New York Tribune.] WASHINGTON, November 13.-It has been authoritatively stated to night, on behalf of the President, that no change of his Southern policy is contemplated. So far as the relations of the tieneral- Gov ernment to all the States of the Union are concernel, the President remains in precisely the same atti, tudo as he did when he entered the White House. The present condi Lion of affairs in certain of the Southern States, whereby it ap pears that large numbers of citizens have been boldly denied the right to vote, simply calls for an impar tial enforcement of the laws, and this duty is not regarded as one to be administerel in a partisan spirit. "Had the situation been reversed," remarked the President, "I say now, as I have frequently said before, that the duty would be the same, and would be met with the same firmness." The fact of the dotermi nation on the part of the Adminis tration to make a vigorous prose cution of the violators of the law during the late election is not dis puted ; but it is claimed that this is im entire harmony with the policy horetofore pursued in the South as well as elsewhere. (Secial to the Baltimore Sun.] WASHINGTON, November 13.-It is ascertained to. day that the pur. ported interview with the President sent hence last night is a correct reflection of the present views and policy of the administration as re gards the South. The statement that the President said, in express language, that he was convinced his Southern policy was A - failure is understood, however, not to have been authorized, although his ap parent determination to reverse that policy might be understood as an admission to that effoct. In the language of a member of the Cabinet, the administration is de termined that every violation of the elections laws in every part of the South shall be ferreted out and the full penalty of the law visited upon the perpetrators, and those that are sent to the penitentiary may be sure that no pardon of the President -will intervene to prevent the serving out the full term of sentence. Such a thing as ballot box stuff ing was never known in the South so until after the war. Then it and kindred accomplishments were in troduced by that obliging class of Northern gon tlemnen wvho wvent there to take charge of the government of the Southern States and to spend the money of the taxpayer's for th)em. If ballot box stuffing has been done in South Carolina and other Southern States, as alleged, there can be no justification for it, and all those engaged in it shoukd be punished. But wvhy make fish of one and flesh of another ? In the >re,enminently Republican city of -Philadelphia ballot--box stuffing long since attainedI to the dignity of a fine art, but no complaints were ever made to the White House in consequence. A notorious ballot stuffer of Cincinnati, with several of his ,accomplices, was brought to justice, and they wore all sentenced to the penitentiary for their mis deeds. President Hayes pardoned every, member of this gang, comn nmenomng with the leader and ending only two months ago with the last one. A number of the "pudding" tickets, so..called, alleged to have been used by the Democrats in South Carolina, have been sent to this city. Several gentlemen huave taken samples of them to the White House for inspection by the Presi.' dent. He examined them with much interest, and wvas anxious to know the manner of their fraudulent use. If he had sent for one of the Cincinnatti ballot-box stuffers whom he has released, he could be initia., ted into all the mysteries of the bTsies" lwarts"' in the Rhepubli can party t 'Ik now that the Presi dent has thros himself into their arms. One of hemi said to--day, after reading the P?esident's viows agiven latnih,thatue old line Repulicghgndtseen 'n~ything emanate from. the White House since Lincoln's proclamation oman cipating the slaves, which would give them so much pleasure. A number of stalwarts were at the White House to.-day, including Representative Harry White of Pennsylvania, Postmaster Snowden of Philadelpnia, Col. Mosby, Col. Keogh, chairman of the North Carolina Republican committee, Cominissiner Raum, Postmaster General Key and others. The President devoted nearly tho .entire day to conversation with those gentlemen, and was warmly con gratulated by some of them on his change of views. Tihe President took occasion to observe that he does not consider that there will be any change in his policy, because his policy has always boon to uphold the Constitution and the laws and enforce the equal rights .of all citizens. Col. MIosby said to-day that in his opinion the. .battle of 1880 is already fought and won, and Grant is the man. The new crusade which it-has been determined by the Republican leaders shall be inaugurated against the "Solid South," has now formally been entered upon. Of one thing those leaders are convinced, that the best way for them to secure a "Solid North" is to keep up a "Solid South." This is the plan upon which the last two campaigns of the Republican party were con ducted. Mr. Zachariah Chandler managed the campaign in 1876. When Southern Republicans ap plied to him for funds he refused. He was frank and open in assigning his reasons. Said he, "You say there will be a Solid South if we don't help you. That is just what we want. We want a Solid South, and then we will have a YAid North." Mr. Chandler's son-in law, Mr. Hale, managed the cam paign of 1878, which has just closed. He conducted it on the same prin ciples exactly, but was more diplo inatic in his language. When the Southern Republicans came to him for money he talked sweetly and said lie would see what could be done, and nothing was done. Another Version. Mr. Hayes is represented as "an noyed and disgusted" over the statement mado of his views, by the National RepIdiblican, which statement he prono1unces "flagrantly erroneous in its most im portant particulars, and calculat6d to mislead the public." The follow - ing article from the Washington Star was submitted to the President and approved by him before publi cation : Two positions of great importance in the politics of the country have, within the past few days, been as, signed the. President-one, that he has abandoned in toto his S3uthern. policy ; the other, that he has, by giving way in that policy, brought about a 'reconciliation' between his administration and the so-called 'stalwart' wing of the Republican party, the elements of which have been, since the inauguration of the couciliation policy, alienated fromn him. Both of these statements are either uitrue, or are given an im proper coloriiig. As to the reported change of policy regarding the South, there is nothing in it. The method of deal ing with the Southern States, which the President has seen fit to pursue, is the same now as it was when in. augurated. This policy is in no re. spect whatever an experiment. The President considered, and still cons. siders, it a matter of duty to see that, in administering the laws ..of the land. the constitutional rights of every citizen, in every portion of the country, equally and alike, should be fully respected and guard-. ed. It is pretty .generally conceded that the South, under'bay~onet rule, was not enjoying the free govern ment vouchsafed it by the Constitu.. tion. To remove that rule was a duty the Presidentb considered .de volving upon him, and it was accord.. ingly removed. He has gone on with the determination of securing, as far as lay in his power, that every citizen shall be protected in the full and free exercise of all his rights and privileges. With this deter ination has been~ e upled .a very strong desire not to use~ the military branch of the government, except to quell insurrection and put down riot. All violations of the,-law should, he has always held and still. holds, be pudished by civil pr'ceeses, if -posa sible. Therefor'e, whe,n it % learned, prior to the, 4e6x4t elec tions that Ilepubhecan ivoters:in'the Mo 6 'inotably.in siouth (Jal'6?na, j2o4sana and -Mab*n *6ttil4 tainly be interfetsa VWb in f,tk: . ercise of their franchise rights, the Attorney-General ordered the United States District Attorpeys for -those States to see that allt violatorS of the law in this respect were promptly arrested and brought to trial ; and after the elocti6ns, not withstanding the advances for coin promise from those arrested, the Attorney - Gen oral was last Saturday instructed. to prosecute offenders to the utmost limits or the lIw. Neith ,or of the instructions could be re garded as "a change of policy." They were but the carrying out of the President's deteriminatioff to see that the laws are enforced everywhere. The statement that thQ Prasident has recently said that he had tried the -plan of conciliation and, 'found it a complete failure is untrue. The President has never made such a statement. It is true that he does not think the South has responded as it should to his good intentions, but nevertheless he does not intend to change, in any manner whatever, the course of his Ad,uiuistration upon this account. This dourse, as has previously been said, is not a Southern policy. It is not in any true sense a man poli6y. It is tbe enforcement of the laws by civil processes. As to the other statement, that there has been a re6ncilfition, be tween the Administratiow and the dissatisfied leaders of the Republi can party, it may be stated that in order that there might be 'a recon. ciliation,' as the phrase -is, it would be nuc:.sary that the President should come at least partially to the way of thinking held by, the leaders of the party with which he is to be 'reconciled.' The President has never seen any reason why he should cease to (to his duty because somb portion of his party was dissatisfied with his methods. He has always desired, and still desires, that the utmost harmony should exist in the p,trty. If leaders of the party, after interchanging views with him, see that they have misunderstood his course and conduct, and-tbink that it would be good .that past differ ences should be healed, the Presi dent is ready t> respond heartily. That such is t'dase isino- doubt, true, and the party which elected the President to office is certainly now, with few exceptions, "ready," as Representative White, of Penn sylvania. says, "to look to future results md forget the effete past with its past differences." If this is "reconciliation." well and good. ..A Nzw Yonx GIouL.-To the New York Oommercial Advertiser is due the palm, as the most brutal and maglignant newspaper in the United States. This sheet chuckles over the accident to Governor Hampton, and says : "But after all Hampton was not born to be..killed from a mule. He is much more likely to be honne: from the' stage of life in a different style..
