TIE RADICALS.
What they Propose to do with the South
ern Question.
Especial to N. 7. Herald.l
WASHINGTON, March 7.-As to the Southern
question most OF them promise general sup
poit They are willing to let the new policy
have trial, but "do not be in hurry" so
Orleans to investigate and TO report to the Peesi
dent what he Already knows. But while the
coIlnlttee is there II may as well fix things up
harmoniously for the Republican party, and
make bargain with the poor Nichols men that
they shall send . Republican or two to the Unitad
States Senate, for the sake Of harmony, ofcourse.
And then comes mild suggestion--W Why not let
the Nichols Legislature elect Kellogg to the
Senator 2he Packard men have already elected
him. That wsnld be a compromise and make
gestions are only thrown out casually, but they
are repeated and pressed, and the men who urge
them know very well the result OF such demand.
II would be refused in New Orleans, and then
would come another deadlock and more delay,
and all the tale the Federal troops would be sus-
tanning Packard, and at this rate they shrewdly
zee that Packard may be made to last for many
months, and perhaps at last they might even
have the good luck OF an outbreak IN Louisiana,
which would give new cause fer Interference, put
Packard in actual possession and revive the cry
Of the bloody shirt. ,s..
JUDGE KEY. sa#
His Nomination "a Masterly stroke ON
the Fart of Hayes.
Especial to Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, March s.--Ta-day Postmaster
General Key received o large number Of letters
and dispatches from his old friends and fellow
Confederates in the South all rejoicing that he
had agreed to accept tue position. A member OF
the Tennessee Legislature writes that only ons
member is disposed to cri icise Keys course, and
he only because he fears that it will result in
building mp an administration party in Tsnnes-
see, which will sweep the State. Another Ten
nesseean writes that he now believes Hayes il q
better man than Tilden, and that it is better for
the South to have him President
A minister writes that he is preparing a ser
mon, in which he refers to Hayes as Christian
gentleman, worthy of the eupport and esteem of
the Southern people IN his Efforts to bring peace
to the land and goodwill to all the people. It is
plain from the tenor of these letters and dis
patches that the appointment of Judge KY has
made profound impression at the South. One
of the Oldest and wealthiest citizens Of Tennes-
see telegrsphed that Hayes has won the Southern
heart by stroke such as can ouiy be made once
in lifetime. In all these letters there is not
word OF criticism or dissent: all are happy in
what they esteem an extension of the olive
branch. Their surprise at this recognition ia
equsled by their gratitude.
THE SENATE.
Important Points Scored aua Advanta-
ges Gained by the Democrats.
Especial to the Courier-Journall
WASHINGTON, March S.--The Democrats scored
two imp srtant points in the Senate to-day. They
managed to have both Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama,
and Mr. Grover, of Oregon, swora in. There
has been some talk of an investigation in re-
spect to thes9 gentlemen, but it will amount
to nothing at all. They are in for six years
each, and the Democratic strength in the
Senste is now thirty -four, with chances for one
more Senator from South Carolina, and two mere
from Louisiana, The vote is SO close now that
all the Republicans have to be in place ia order
TO assure party triumph on any vote, and there
Id good chance of defeating any very ultra or
extreme Radical measure that may be proposed.
The effect ia to make the Senate really consery-
ative body. In ability and intellectual force, the
accessions to the Democratic ranks, OF late are
very great. Harris, Hill, Whyte, Wallace, La-
mar and Beck are a powerful reinforcement to
the old set and the prepondsrance Of ability is
now with the Demo ocrats.
MIR. WAsHBURNE. '
He Has Come Home Purely ON Private
Business.
m. Z. Tribune.l
In conversation with Tribune reporter on
Tuesday evening, Mr.. Washburne said his visit
had no political import. He had come home for
q brief stay, purely on matters Of private bust
ness He was to take the evening train for
Maine, where the family homestead was and
where three of his brothers were living. Then
he should go TO Galens, his home in Illinois, to
pass few days with his townspeople. Ii he went
to Washington at all, 1t would not be within
week. He had no knowledge Ct any change be-
ing under consideration in the French mission,
and there was no foundation for associating his
name with cabinet rumors. He intended to re-
turn to Paris early in April. Mr.. WAshburne
said he had watched the course of the recent
campaign with great interest. He considered
the result just one, and while at time the situa-
ton appeared serious, he had been confident
from the first outbreak of partisan feeling that
there would be an amicable settlement.
ROSCOE CONKLING.
HE sides with Hayes and Demolishes
Brother Blaine.
Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer,J
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The indications to-
night are that Hayes will beat the politicians.
Indeed, most of them have fall EN- into line to-day
and are beginning to throw up their hats for
Hayes. To the amazsment Of the Senate, Csnk-
ling, in very strong speech in the Senate,
turned up as champion of the Administration,
and punished Blaine and Morton numerically
without calling either one by name. After re-
marking that 1T was quite possible for such
body as the Electoral Commission to decide on
certain evidences OF eections, he proceeded
to declare in the most positive manner
that it vas the right and duty Of the Senate to
examine into what was the actual result Of &nY
q seat ia that boiy. Every one understood that
Ccnkling, although ostensibly speaking on the
admission Of GroYer, Was really opposing the
