IIAYES' NBW SOUTIlEKÏi i'OLICY. The now administratim policy- toward the South is vory sharply outlinod by Mr. Hayes in an authorized interview pnblished in tho WashIngton National Rcpublican, Thia irtervidw was propared at the White ÏTouse, and has uil the hntibrtancé and gravity ol alepfcin.ma9h:i{í(. 'Hui Presidenfwxs aakog wpetqpr the Southern butrages liad been diecuaaed in the Cabinet He replied: "ïhat isamistako. Tho time for diBpussion ban pasaed. It is now too late for anythitig luit the most detorminecl and viiiin'cnis iction. 'l'hin newAinuaraOD WB8 roaehed several days ago, and tho delibcrations of tho Cabinot on tho subject sinco thon liavo boen comparativt'ly brief umi oonflned mainly to tho considoration of tho duty of the Attomey Goneral in tho premises." To these remarke the interviewer replied approvingly, and thon asked tho President how no accounted for tho result of a solid South iu the face of tlio pledges of fair dealing by Southern Demócrata. Tho President - That questiou leads directly to a diacusaion of whathaa been latterly termed the Southern policy of tho aduiiuiatration. When that policy was inaugúrate], it was with an eamest desiro to coueüiato the Soutliern loaders, to round off the sharp anglos of secrional differouees, and to softon the usperitios of political strifo. No one will deny that an attempt to enforce thia policy was earnostly made, nor that it was" carried out with a conscientious desire to accomplish the result for whiob it was inaugurated. Of tho personal and partiean sacrilices I mado in tina effort and of tho consequent intorruption of certaiu relations which had previouslv existed between myself and some of ray supporters I have nothingto say just now: but it appears that the loaclers who made these pledgeH either did not exert themselves to keep them or wero unable to do no. In fact, I am reluctantly forced to admit that the i'xporinfcnt was a failure. The first eleotion of importance held aince it was attempted has proven that fair elections with free suffrages for every voter in the Souti aro an impossibility under tlio existing condition of things. Interviewer - And the Kopublican party, oxcept in North Gari.ilina, has thereby been wiped out of existence in the South. The It ia not bccauso the Republican party appears as the sufferer in these results that I coniplain. It is because freo suf f rage aud frewlom of political right havo boen interforod with that I am ealled upou to tako cognizanco of these disturbauees. If tho facts were exactly roverscd, and if Kopublicana had pernïïtted theap ou trages upon Demócrata, my dnty wimkl He the Hmei It will not do foï me, or for any ofticial before whom tlieao quostions may come, to treat them otherwisc than in a non-partisan way. Thspartisan pronn will naturally take a partisan view, and I will be held to account for aiding Kepublicana - stalwarts, I mean - in tlaunting the oloody shirt, as it is oalled. Interviewer - Vea, it has been cha-ged tliat you are following in the footsteps of your predoeesaor. Tho President - W'ell, I expeet all that and more. I can't expeet to hold the office I do without being kiefced and cuffed a little, you know; but for all that I ahall do my duty as Chief Magiatrate of all tho people, DemKirata and Republicana alike ; and if , iu the faithful execution of the laws, justice hall demand the punishincnt of this man or that man, wh:it-vor nis political connections may be, I shall not be dek-rrecl by partisan criticisni. All that I know that (,'roat crimes havo been committed and ïIïb my duty to aid in the punishinent of the crimínale. Interviewer - And you do not think tho Southorn leaders - Pemooxfttk I mean - who havo promised so ofton to profeet the blacks of the South in tho exercise of thei'r rights are responaible for these crimes? The President (frankly)- I do not. Gov. Hampton, for cxaniple. has triod repoatedly to represa the vit lenco which has characterízed the campaign in South Carolina, aud failod. Such Repubhcana as Jndgo Loq, Mr. Rainey, and ex-State Senator Swails, of that Stato, havo a dvised me of these facts. They say that } Lampton cannot control the 'Ted sljirte," as tüey cali t hem, and they havo repoatedly informed mo o f the apeeches he has mado deprecating violince in the conduct of the campaign, and it appeara that Gov. Nicholls, in Louisiana, is earnestly opposed to these proceodings in his S tate. Interviewer- Then the oflicersof the Department of Justice havo been instructed to carry 0 i t tho proeeedings already begon against these d ) predators ': The President - Not only against those who havo already been arreeted, but againat others who will soon be arreated It ia proposed to make a clean eweep of thia business and exhaust every legal resourco in the execution of 1 ostice. The integrity of American citizenahip ü as beon grossly violated in widespread locali! ies. It muat and hall be vindicaied. THE EAST.
