and white men of the South, without regard TO their
political opinions allowed to vote as they please

suit of the numerous interviews between the Presi-
dent and Southern politicians during the last three
weeks, but it is sufficient say that he is determined
to have peace throughout the ends Of the land the
basis of the Congressional policy OF reconstruction.
lie does not understand that peace be accom-
plished through any other than by peaceabe
and quiet acceptance and submission to the laws He
has often, during the interviews referred to- resserted
the declaration embraced in his inaugural that the
most decided way of securing the repeal of obnox

CAN'T UNDERSTAND TENNESSEE POLITICS
With regard to Tennessee, the President was equally
explicit though he expressed his inability to under
stand the differences there and wondered very much
at the positions and action of Senator Bownlow and
Governor Senter whom he had held to be not only in
corruptible, but men not easily imposed npon
NO USE IN TELLING EVERYTHING.
