\ delegation was in the whitehouse
to-day, in behalf of Miss Vanlew, OF
Richmond. The president gave them
no satisfaction beyond his frequent
phase that no one couId be removed
except for cause.
A quaker delegation called on the
psssident, in behalf of the Universal
Peace Union. Replying to their ad-
dress, the president said he was in
favor ofpeace everywhere, which would
be his guide for the next four years, as
is fully stated in his inaugural. He
did not feel so far advanced in mat
ters Of peace as the Quakers, and must,
on some occasions, resort to severe
measures.

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens is i'm
proving. His appetite is good, and be
Is able to read nine hours daily. He
will not return until the extra session
of Congress, which he expects will be-
called by the president in June. He
hopes to take an active part in its de-
liberations.
He will advocate government sub
sidy to the Texas q Pacific railroad.
He thinks that 1t is the grandest pre-
ject now before the country, and that
it should receive aid from Congress.
The south is especially interested in
the construction of the road, and the
whole country will be benefited by it.
ii is not a party, but national meas
nre, and should be built as work of
vital Importance to the interests Of the
whole country, and not solely because
the south will be materially benefited
by it. Mr.. Stephens thinks the bill can
be so formed as to protect the govern
ment from loss.
Mr.. Stephens speaks hopefully Of the
future of the country. Personally he
thinks well OF President Hayes. He be-
lieves that the president will carry out
his policy ofpeace and good will to the
south, and considers that the solution
of the South Carolina troubles, which
has resulted in tie pacifIcation of
South Carolina and the restoration Of
home rule and good government under
Hampton, will lead to like results in
Louisiana by the recognition OF The
Nichols government. He considers
the president was fully committed to
this policy, and believes he will use all
means in his power to carry it into &C.
tion and thus aid in restoring peace in
all sections OF the republic.
He considers the president has
grand opportunity and he ought 70 ele-
vate himself to 3 plane entirely above
party, and by SO doing he will inaugu-
rate peace and prosperity in country
already too long distracted and de-
pressed by political excitement and
party bitterness. He thinks congress
will heartily second President Hayes
In his efforts to give the south good
government.
