Of August.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day, the most
important matter considered was the con-
dtion of the South, especially the dis.
affection and reported acts Of unlawful
violence in certain counties of North
Carolina. A long letter on this subject,
addressed to the President by Senator
Scott, Chairman of the Congressional
KuKlux Committee, having been read for
the information of the Cabinet, it was de-
termined to enforce the laws; and, as
preliminary step, the letter Of Senator
Scott and other papers were referred to
the Attorney General who will report
upon the law applicable to the case, when
a proclamation will be issued by the Pres
ident and afterwards embraced in general
order to the War Department. Meanwhile
that Department will mature the measures
considered to be necessary in that con-
hection.
Three reports from Admiral Rogers
were laid before the Cabinet by Secretary
Robson. The United States vessels will
not renew the attack on the people of that
country, but will await the result of the
British Government expedition. 1t is
thought that ultimately the United States,
Great Britain, and the North German
Confederation may form an alliance against
Corea.
