The South Carolina colored delega-
ton, consisting of Repre- eutives
Rainey, Craine, Small and Wright of
the Supreme Court. justice CardoZa,
Treasurer Max we'll and others waited
on President Hayes to day. The Presi-
dent spoke with perfect trauknesS, stat
ing that he desired 10 remove the antag-
onism existing between the races, es-
pecially political differences resting
! upon the color line, so that the colored
men and Republicans might not need
the protection of the army. He stated
that the use of the military force in
civil affairs was repugnaut to the geu-
ius OF American institusionsand should
be dispensed with if possible. He, how
ever, recognized the necessity of pro-
lection at present until a feeling of re
spect for the rights of political oppo-
neuts should be entertained by the
Democrats of the South. The PreSi
dent stated with regard to the peculiar
difficulties at present existing in South
Carolina, concerning which the dele
CATION expressed great anxiety, that he
proposed to preserve the statue quo left
by his predecessor and to examine
into the condi ion of affairs carefully
and deliberately bafore he acted. The
delegation Their withdrew well satisfied
with the interview.
The following was received by Sem
ator Bayard to-day, and will probably
be laid before the Senate when the

"SHREvEPoRT, March 9.
Packard's dispatch of yesterday to
Senator Blaine, that in every parish
outside OF New Orleans, except what
he terms the five bulldosed parishes,
his government is recognized by all
except a few of Nichols officials, is ut
erly untrue. The people of this parish
and surrounding parishes spurn Pack
ards pretensions and render hearty
allegiance to Governor Nichols. The
Republican police jury of this parish
has by formal resolution recognized
the Nichols government. (Signed)
Nathan Gregg, President of the Shreve-
port Cotton Exchange, Samuel G..
Head, President of the Police Jury of
Caddo parish, n. c. Blanchard, Presi-
dent of the Democratic Committee of
Caddo parish, and B. NJ. Johnson,
Banker"
The Finance, Judiciary, Military and
Naval Committees this evening author
iZad their chairmen 10 report back ia
ably to the confirmation Of Schurz, De
vens, McCrary and Thompson, to-
morrow. The other committees did
not meet, but will do so Tomorrow
morning, as Senators Cameron, Conk-
ling, and Morton, are members of the
committee which has Evarts' nominal
ton in charge, and are known to re-
gard it. with disfavor, there may be
ON delay in reporting it. Keys
nomination will probably be reported
favorably To morrow.
A New York Times Washington
special says that Schurz' nomination
was favorab!y passed in the Finance
Committee, with only one dissenting
voice, that of Jones, of Nevada, who
is either acting with his ardent friend
Conkling, or else dislikes Schurz'
views on the bonanza silver question.
EvartS was opposed in the Committee
on Foreign Relations by three Sena-
tors, reported to be Cameron, Hamlin,
and Conkling. The charge made
against him is that while he was coun-
sci for the Government at the Genoa
Conference he was also attorney for
Some marine insurance companies. If
being attorney for insurance compa-
MES controlled his action before that
tribunal it must have been to render
him active in securing a large
award, which was the service the Uni
ted States desired of him.
A T,9bune'S Washington special
says: Many Republicans have 10
faith hat Key will co operate in future
with the Republican party and think he
will be- nothing better than an enein Y
in camp. There is lot the slightest
doubt but he will he confirmed.
II is now believed that no extra ses-
sion will be called, because by law
money may be expended for the army
under certain circumstances without
any previous appropriation bill, the
only one u%nprovided for by the last
Congress.
Gen. Butler called on the President
to-day and told him he should sup
port his administration, and that be
had no axes TO grind.
