Areign appointment, called socially on
me President, and ID the uourae or con
veruatlon with him alluded 10 the
threatH on Blaine, ben Wade and other
extreme Radicals, 10 antagonise his
Southern poliey. The President said
chat he saw no reason for any uneasia
ness on that score. that be did not see
how tho gentlemen were going to give
any practical force and effect to their
opposition, they could not do II by
thwarting his pet personal plans

memberas he had been informed that
the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections had reported Kellogg en-

been acted upon. II Kellogg was legally
entitled TO tho Heat, at the time the re.
port was made, he was certainly en-.
titled te Ii new, because nothing had
been done to invalidste anybody's legal
rights.
The general tenor of the Presidents
observations on the subject Of kellogg's
contest for the seat la the Senate was
to the effect that he (Hayes) had no per-

nothing but withdraw Federal inter

ruling sentiment OF the people.
The Senate could seat Kellogg II Il

any action on his part involving al
exercise of executive power. or cours,
such contingency was absurd. ant
therefore the seating Of Kellogg woul,
not affect him or the policy OF hi
Administration. The Southern policy
he said, related simply to the attitud
OF the general government toward tn
states. not to the attitude OF the Unite
states Senate toward the Administra
tion.
