No Change In Grants Policy.
Special TO the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The assumption that the appointment Of
Judge PierrepOnt was made with reference
to a change in the Southern policy of the
Administration is altogether improbable,
the selection being based chiefly on per
sonal grounds, and there is no question of
the fact that Mr.. Williams and his whole
bitter policy was entirely acceptable to
Grant. He goes out Of his own accOrd so
far as Grant is concerned.
Judge ReIIey's View on Southern
Matters.
The Hon. William d. Kelley, after an
extended trip through the State of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, gives an emphatic denial to
the charges and statements Of Republican
newspapers aud orators for years past
against the South. What gives this testi-
mOny the more point and significance is the |
well known fact that Judge Kelley has |
been constantly one Of the most extreme |
men of his party in Congress, going as |
far as the farthest in his support of |
measures Of repression, and repre- |
sents one Of the strongest Republican |
districts in Pennsylvania, for the South. |
He says that he mingled freely during his |
trip with the people Of all parties and of /
81 4 Il
condition Of the South better than he ever |
did before. His views have been complete
" changed. He reports a general COndi- /
lion Of good order and Of kindly feeling, |
and says that there is no |
necessity whatever for troops or force bills. |
He declares that hereafter he viii take /
very little stock in stories Of Southern out
RACES, especially if they are reported
As occurring in the sections he visited.
He states that these accounts are not only /
gross exaggeTatiOns, but III many cases de-
i5erate talsehOOds; and sums up by saving
that the only vote he regrets after fourteen |
years service in Congress, is his vote for
-he force bill at the last session. Judge
Kelley speaks very glOOmily Of the finan-
,ial condition Of The South, which he at
tributes largely 10 the ruinous financial
policy Of the las. Congress His views have
made a decided impression, and really leave
he Republican party without a leg to stand
upon for their war against the South.
Sailing Under 1he American Flag.
Special 70 the Cincinnati Commercial.
The State Department has received,
through British sources, information that
the bTlg James Birney, carrying the Ameri-
1an flag, while at Hawes' Group Of Islands,
in the Pacific, in September last, was cap
-uTed by the natives and One-half the crew
while the remainder escaped in
he ships boat. In the list Of officers and |
seaman furnished, it is evident they were
all British subjects, which opinion is not
only confirmed by the Navy De-
DarimeIt, but the suspicion IS
hat the Birney is an English
7essel sailing under the American colOrs,
engaged in stealing the natives Of the |
group Of islands visited, and that the ma
ives only defended themselves against the |
ntruders. The services Of the American |
navy il punishing these savages is re-
used.
