THE President DISCUSSES THE SOUTHERN
. QUESTION wITHrA CONGRESSMAN.
| The Iimes's special from Washington
saws: In q conversation with a member OF
! Congress on the Louisiana and South Caro-
| lima questions the President on Saturday
said that in making up his mind as to the
| best course to pursue to secure harmony IN
those States he should not allow himself to
be embarrassed by the idea that he must do
nothing that would seem to affect in
iuriously the validity Of his own title
| to office. That matter, he thought, had been
authoritatively and finally decided. He did
not believe there would be any DISPOSE
ton to higgle about his title II his adj
ministration commended itself by its
acts to the Judgment OF the country.
As soon rs the members OF the new
Cabinet were fairly settled in their position
he should ask their careful consideration of
the situation in the two States having con-
flicting governments, and he was confident
that with their aid some method OF solving
the problems presented would be found,
which would be fair, and Just, and satisfac-
tory 10 the people OF these States. Several
ways out of the difficulty have been consid-
cred by him, but he should not adopt any
method in hurry, or without much more
deliberation than he had as yet found time
to give the subject. ..-. ... -..at
In all conversations which the President
has held with prominent men OIL this YeX-
atiouS matter he has expressed the same
confidence that there could be found safe
and honorable road out OF the troubles
proceeding from q conflict OF authority. At
the same time he made it clear that the
maintenance OF State government by the
presence of the Federal army is repugnant
to his ideas, and can no longer be tolerated.
