There is no doubht in our mind a'out Foster, Matthews, and others of Haycs's friends. having, by their words, acts, and letters. caused the opposition to the counting in of Hayre to cease. Since he has been counted in, there is a disposition on the partof these men to deny that there was any agreement. This is bad faith. to say the very least of it. The whole history of the time after the elec tion in Nove nber up to the tune the result was anemounced, is a hi-tory of fair promises by .Mr. Hayes and his frtends to the South. Foster Made his speech in Congress, saying that Hayes would rule over States, not proy. inces. It was not necessary for him to throw out his opinion as to Hayes's policy, but he did do it, and Hayes wotea him an autograph letter thanking him for it, and endorsed it. But this was not enough. and John Young Brown, of Kentucky, Sneator Gorldon, and others demanded written proofs, and they were given. If these are no areenmelt, what were they given for? If they are not bilding on Hayes, why did his intimate, trested friends gave them? What earthly use have the Soeutherners for any rg.e-,.nent unless it is respected by the Administration? These letters were written and these words were spoken, that HUayes mi;,ht he made President, and these men know it. While the Southern Representatives did not wish to oppose the decision of the Electoral Commission and throw the country into anarchy and perhaps into revolution, they were williag to take that sisk rather thian tart two States should con. titue to be piir.ed down by bayonets. They told the President's friendls this, and these men satisfied them that the Iayonets would hbe removed f.m South Carolina and Louisi. anm, if the count was allowed to proceed. The count was allowed to proceed, and now the Presidents fiends dare to say that the Southerners were too easily satisfed. That may be, ks there seems to be some doubt about the honor of the men with whom they were dealing.-i'irksberg Herald. It appeas ato as that the Republicans are very much inclined to feed our party leaders on such chafd as promises, that are made to be broken, and that the said leaders are a little too eas;ly satlisfd with such chat, con. sidering the character of the hands that o(er i it. There can bevery littleconlidence placed in the pledges of a man who will accept an eice obtained by freed, or in his frieeds who place him there by such means, aeeding to our ideas of honor and iteegity. The people of every portioa of Louisima are deeply, intensely moved. The electrie I spark that should nhappily bear oear towns and villages the inaelligence that the Federal goveranent bad reoogeined Packard, would kindle into a daece and geeaencbls ame the indimenuo of our outraged people.

IB SOIL 0N THE B ISSISIPPi AND ITS TRIBUTAD IES. STie New York Sun of a recent late has a long and intresting comauniration on the dsubject of "Farmingr in Warm Climates." dThe bulk of the article is rather in praise of 1 the more northerly belt of the Sout'ern Saies. Sas odfernlg greater inducesents to Southern . Emigrants, but tbe concluding paramraph which we publish below are quite enmmuennd It oary of our own section, ard state facts, which Sif thoroughly disseminated thrnuhoot the Eastern State,, will be of benelt in increas'ng a the tide of em gration this way. "No soil in the whole word is ribcer thea in the Maisismippi bottoms and in the bottoms of its tributaries of the Arkaesas, the Red, and h the Yazoo. and there on the same ground ea. ton may be grown for hundredof years. The t banks of the Mississippi from Natches to the J Gulf, embracing that region known as the SCoast should become the pgardeo of the world. It 3Malarioudiseases are rare; the mighty river I cools the atmosphere; rice, segar, grapes. figs. s corn, olives, lemons, oranges, peaches, may be abundant, and a thousand pounds of Lmt 5 cotton or two bales should grow on as aer of ground. Nor is the land at present dinear. S Those cotton States cover an area 1000 miles long by 250 miles broad. At the Centennial were specimentl of eaton from Brasil, Egypt, Turkey, Persia, India. China, and Japan, i and none wea superior to a good average bale from Memphis. Tenn., while the average was decidedly inferior. Good cotton cannot be grown by irrigation. This cottoo area i.s destined to clothehe world. If not to-day, certainly in the near future, Northern men can find desirable homes in that interestin I region. Something ia the soeiety will be l strange. but there are no people now living a who combine, with a moderate degree of relnemeut and culture, an equal aste for rural life and the comforts of house." ' MRS. AN COTT 18 A BACESLIDER. I her ust to the eas.eth Ceme-I ke withi n the Ministers. The Widow Van Cea i her laeeteoe "The Mammoth Cave," last eveeisg. in the West Thirtieth Street Methodist Cheueb, said that. on 'he occasion of her visit to that lse I cavern, she was walking down a steep k inclined path, when her feet Sew fion under c her eand sbe slid te rond isa sittian pes~ra.

I Mrs. VanCottvieited the save in eompmy i with a party of Methodist pr.echers. Then it are crickets in the cave, and the premacers amused themelves by atsebieg the lively little insects. It was a peepiar sight to see a elergyman jump and pot hi heasd e a ericket, and then ind that the cricket was't these. el Some of the clergymen were spry enough to "epture many of the litle cbirmrppem.
