Col. Norman, Conservative republican
from Mississippi had an interview with the
President Yesterday in regard TO political
affairs in that State. The President Was IN
formed that the only desire of the ConserV-
alive Republicans was neutrality on the
part of the administration in. the pending
election The President replied that he
wished for the success of that party Whlcu
would in good faith carry out the recon-
struction acts, accept the fifteenth amend
ment and give protection to life and proper
ty in Mississippi. He wanted to know
whether the former enemies of the Govern
ment were acting in good faith in their
present profession of loyalty, and said this
would soon be afcertained i'm part by the
action of the Conservative Republicans in
Virginia. If they were acting in good faith
he should be glad to have the influence and
intelligence OF that State, and of the South
generally, in support of the administration.
The President inquired of Col. Norman
at what time the Conservative Republicans
would nominate their candidate, and when
informed that it would probably be about
the first of September, he said he would see
what kind of ticket they would put in the
field, and that his actions would be inf1uen-
ced more or less by subsequent events, aud
the course of affairs in the South. He ad-
ded that he desired TO see the payment of
the public debt secured, and the integrity
and honor of the nation rendered inviolate,
and when this was accomplished he would
be satisfied.

Walker Republican party left the Wells
party because they were either forced TO do
so or oppose the policy of the President
After abiding to the almost unanimous in
dorsation of Republican principles by the
white men of the State. and asserting that
the colored people who were misled by
Wells lea lers are now floating by hundreds
the GRAVITY alker standard, he concludes as
follows:
You ask for a coalition of the two wings
of the Republican party. [ cannot admit
that the party is divided. On the contrary,
L claim the Grant Walker party is the Ma
tional Republican party of Virginia, repre-
senting the policy of the President and of
Congress, and as such has no divisions to
heal. To the late Wells party, |. have only
to say that we shall gladly welcome them to
our ranks for we are unwilling to deprive
any class of citizens of the innumerable
blessings that must flow to Virginia from an
unequivocal enforcement of those national
principles of which President Grant and
