WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Some wonder
full tales regarding Hayes cabinet and
his policy, should he be declared Presi-
dent, have been put about here as COM
ing from Columbus. William A.
Wheeler processes to have letter from
Gov. Hayes, in which he states that il
he is declared President he will provide
for two Southern men in his cabinet,
one who has always been a Union man
and one who has been a Confederate
but is now a Republican (Mospy,, no
doubt.) The letter is further said to
state that the Nichols government in
Louisiana Is the only one which has
any strength and which would be sup
ported by the people Of that State,
wherefore Congress ought to recognize
it. It is also announced tonight that
the National Republican tomorrow
morning will contain an article in which
it will state that the Republicans in the
House to-day blundered in voting
against the resolution for the recogni.
ton Of the Nichols government. II
this is true it will probably lead to d re-
consideration OF the question in Con
