81. Louis Expositiou.

ST. DoUIs, Sept lO.-The ope1ihg day
of the grand exhibition, so lar rs con-
cerned the weather, was of the most un-
propituous character. Rain tell nesrly
all last night, and this morning most dis
mally heavy clouds are Overhsnging the
city. Sharp and frequent showers are
islling, and the streets are nearly shoat
with water and mud. Notwithstanding
all this. the procession formed promptly,
and as purely industrial parade, 1t ex-
ceeded every previous effort OF the KIND
made here. Almost every interest IN
the city was represented, a great mum.
Der of leading business houses taking
part; and making fine display.
The column was headed by about 500
citizens, soldiers and a battery Of srtll-
lery and traversed several of heprincl-
pal streets, after which they marched TO
the fair grounds and passed through the
arena of the great smpitheatre, where 1t
was viewed by several thousand people.
1t was just three hours in passing through
the arena, and was fully eight miles long.
None of the departments of the Exposi-
ton are IN q complete state yet, but re.
markably fine display was made, and the
attendance, considering the weather, was
fair, being beyond expectation. Tonight
Fourth and Fifth streets and several
cross streets are brilliantly Illuminated
and thrOnged with gay promensders.

Hayes Interviewed on His Southern
Policy.

CINCINNATI, September IU.-A cor
respondent of the Times, VINO interviewed
President Hayes while Ell route to
Fremont, asked the President how he
came TO construct his policy when was
seemingly so at variance with his recent
viows while on the stump in his last
gubernatorial campaign. Did 1t grow
upen him gradually, as circumstances
seemed to require The President replied
as follows: Well, those views began to
take form IN the words Of my letter OF
acceptance. | considered the situation
of things in the South; saw how lmpos-
sible it seemed to restore order, and
peace and harmony; saw the violence and
bloodshed at their elections; how white
men, rs well rs black, were shot down
during their political contests, and L
asked myself why is it. and how long
must this cOntinue2 Those men down
South, the white educated citizens, are rs
good men as you or |. They are Chris
tians; not thieves, nor cut-throatS, nor
bandits; vet they see these things and tao
lily approve them if they do not take
part in them. Why is is it, and how long
will they continueP While thinking
these questions over my mind reverted
to the scenes OF the war, and an Incl
dent at the battle of Cedar Mountain
came 10 my mind. 1t was hard fought
engagement aud tor u time we could not
tell how it would end. They who were
in command had determined that II a
certain movement resulted IN one way
we would be given certain orders, but II
it resulted otherwise different orders
would be given. With our field glasses
we were watching the course OF things.
All at t.ouce | saw COmmotlon IN the
thickest of the tray. The artillery had
got to work and WAS throwing shells fast
and with unerring aim IN the solld ranks
OF the enemy Heads were being blown
from their bodies, arms and legs torn
from their sockets, and souls sent to one
world or the other, all unprepAred, and
vet | reioiced and congratulated my iel-
low officers that we were victorious.
How could this be? Why was 1t? 1t
was because we were at war. That one
word solved in my mind the pro0lemi
the people there were al war. There
WAS u COuHlSI SOlHS O44I VIZ SSc'"' "N1N'
political relations of the people were
not natural, not harmonious. There
were disturbing elements among
them and while they existed, or were
unduly active, there would be conflict
Let the causes OF the conflict be removed
and there will be peace and ultimately
harmony and prosperity. "But," said the
reporter, "we do not see much disposition
in the South to manifest loving temper
toward us OF the North" The President
mildly retorted, "How do you know?
You form your opinions, no doubt, from
reading the papers, but editors of news
papers do not always represent the
popular general feeling OF the people
either North or South, and | think that
most of the people in the South, as l
know they are in the North, are more
disposed to encourage traternal, harmo-
NOUS, social and business relations than
the extremists who, unfortunately, too
often get control OF newspapers, but even
these, or most of them, will come around
all right in time

The Direct Cable.

Field has just returned from Europe af-
ter an absence of two months. He
states that the declaration made by Sec
retary of State Eva?ts, concerning the
amalgamation of the Direct and Angle
American Gable Companies, was based
upon a misconception of the facts. He
says Mr.. Eastman and others, years ago,
secured an act of Congress which author
lied them to lay the Direct European
Gable, ard permitting them to land it
anywhere on the American coast, except
on the shores of Florida. This franchise
was sold TO Siemcns X Co., contractors
for laying the cable, who in turn disposed
OF 1t To an English Company when Sic
mems went to Europe to negotiate the
sale. Mr.. Field states that he bore let
ter signed "U S. Grant, President OF the
United States" certifying to the correct
ness of the act, and also document from
the then United States Attorney-General,
giving his opinion of the Legality of the
act and power under it to land the cable
on American shores.
