WARRINGTON, March g,--The policy Of
President Hayes seems to be TO let mat
ters drift on for the present. In respect
to Louisiana affairs 1t Is probable that
nothing will be done till after the new
Cabinet shall be selected. and that then
there will be committee of competent
gentlemen sent down to Louisiana TO
examine into the condition of affairs
there and TO report thereon to the
President. There is no danger OF such
Q committee favoring the recognition of
being Republican politicians. they
will endeavor to extort concessions
from the Nichols Legislature, In re-
speet to the choice of United States
Senators, in return for favoring the
Nichols government. Such conces-
sions and stipulations would be alike
improper and unnecessary. ALI that
the people OF Louisiana have to do is to
stand firm, and 1t is certain that the
Nichols government will be recognized.
Public opinion would never sustain the
use OF troops to uphold Packard and
the carpet. .baggers, and it 10 certain
that President Hayes has lately ex-
pressed his purpose, in the most EN-.
phatic manner, to discard the bayonet |
policy, which has been Packard's chief
support.

WASHINGTON, March G.-Mr. Gibson,
or Louisiana, In response TO an invita-
ton, has had an informal interview with
Hayes regarding Southern affairs. Mr..
Gibson declines to give In detail the
conversation which took place between
Ihem, but he says that 1t was very salts
factory as indicating that he would
stand up by the policy initiated by ex-
PRESIDENT Grant In reference to the
state OF Louisiana. Mr.. Levy has also
had assurances to the same effect. He
believes that at all events the Packard
government will not have the support
IL the Federal troops. The Nichols
government. having the support Of the
substantial portion Of the people Of that
state, the ultimate result will be the
of that government and
Is recognition by the Administration.
As yet there has been no definite action
AIKEN by Hayes In the matter, and the
riends of the Nichols government who
