Messrs. Wells and Anderson and Mar

view with the President, and were in

as early consideration as public interests
would permit.
The President has made his first sp-

United States attorney for South Caro-
lima.
There was conference in the library at
the executive manson between the Presi-
dent, Evarts, Schurz and Devens. 1t sp.
pears to have been very seriou: meeting,
and the intimstlons are that the
visitors desired to relieve the
President from any embsrrass-
ment by reason of their selection tor
cabinet positions, but it is well under
stood that the President is determined
concerning his cabiLet appointments,
civil service reform and Southern mat
tiers generally.

Colonel H. G. Corbin, of the Twenty
fourth infantry, will be detailed for duty

to the President as General Babcock had
to President Grant.
Among the visitors to-day were null
titude of ladies, many OF whom paid their
respects to Mrs. Hayes.
A delegation OF colored ministers
called at the Executive Mansion to-day
to pay their respects to the President.
They were admitted TO his office, where
they congratulated him and bid him God
speed in the work before him.
Mr.. SchurZ was at the Executive man.
SIGN early this evening and was in con-
sultation with the President for some.
time. The visit was more of social
than official character.
Assurance is given tonight that the
President has no idea whatever of making
any change in the list of nominations
sent to the Senate yesterday.
The question of removing troops from
the South is likely to rest for the present,
as there is no disposition on the part OF
the President to make any move hastily.

Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Repub-
lican Senators held q caucus this morn
ing, at which the report of the commit
tee appointed to revise the standing COM
mttees was submitted and adopted.
The minority gets increased representa-
ton, so that instead of three, the Demo-
Gratis will have four places out of the
nine on each non.politicsl committee,
with, perhaps, the exception OF one or
two committees which are Of quasi
political character. The Republicans
have provided for Senator Davis.
of Illinois, by assigning him to the
Judiciary Committee and Committee on
the revision of the laws. The Democratic
lists are not yet completed, and therefore
no election of committees will be possible
before tomorrow. The Republican men,
bers of the new Finance committee will
be Messrs. Merrill, chairman, Ferry,
Jones, of Nevada, Allison and Dawes.
There was constant stream of visitors
at the Executive Mansion today, and
several delegations interested in sp-
poi2tments to be made. The President
said that such matters could not be en-
tertsined until the question of his cabinet
is settled.

San Francisco Election Frauds.

SAN Francisco, March S-The even

Committee of the Board OF Supervisors
to have cast illegal votes at the recent
general election in this city. One thou
sand nine hundred and eighty-seven are
foreigners, zoos being Irish, S9s Ger
mans, and III English, the others being
variously distributed as to nation
siity. A casual examination OF the
entire list shows the names
of many prominent citizens and old resi-
dents of all walks OF life, whose right to
suffrage has been unquestioned for years,
including both native born and natur-
allied citizens. The county clerk him.
self figures on the list and also promi-
nent member OF the Democratic State
Central Committee. The work evidently
has been very oarelessly performed, and
the list will probably be largely reduced
on close criticism.

The attempt to deprive Ex-Governor
GROVER, of Oregon, of his seat in the
United States Senate, has proved mis-
erable failure. The general and vague
charges contained in the petitions pre-
sented by Senator MITCHELL met with
but little favor, and the Senate, yester-
day, adopted the resolution OF Mr.. sAE-
GENT, declaring GROVER entitled to his
seat, and he was accordingly sworn in.
II is the intention of Senator GROVER to
demand full investigation of the
charges.

TIE Baltimore Gazette has failed to
read the REeIsTER Alright. This paper
has the greatest admiration for the puri-
ty of Mr.. T1LDEN's character, tor his
craftsmanship, his devotion to the cause
Of reform and his splendid record IN that
cause, for his unswerving Democracy
and his great courage and energy. 1t
believes that the party made q better
canvass under Mr.. TILDEN's leadership,
by virtue of his location, his reform re-
cord and his brilliant management, than
it could have made with any Of
the. other distinguished Democratic
statesmen as its nominee. The REGISTER
thought it saw, on the adjournment Of
the Cincinnati convention, that our only
reasonable hope to win was in the noml-
nation of T1LDEN and HENDRICKS, in
order to secure the great states of New
York ard Indiana, and it gave express
sion to that belief at tie time. We have
seen no reason since to change that i'm
preston. Mr.. TILDEN was elected to
the presidency by majority OF over
quarter of a million of the votes of
the people and by a majority OF at least
eighteen votes in the Electoral College;
and, besides, he cut down immense Re-
publican msiorities TO merely nominal
ones in HAYES own State and IN many
other States. California was only carried
against him by fraud, and frauds alone
in Phlladel phis saved Pennsylvania to
the cause of the opposition. Mr.. TILDEN
was elected President, and it is
not his fault that the people are
to be deprived of his splendid abilities
as a retormer and his wise craftsmanship
in the management OF the affairs OF the
nation. He has been wrongsd and the
people have been wronged by the
gigantic theft of the Presidency by the
periured scoundrels in power.
But while this is all true, we are firmly
convir ced that somebody-some OF our
trusted leaders, located where bonds and
commerce are more sacred than
free government-hss blundered,
else that great crime could
never have been consummated. These
unworthy leaders will be displaced; men
of nerve and devotion to principle will
come to the front, and the rank and file
will manfully labor to rlgh. the wrongs
of to-day. The REGISTER is not among
those who think all is lost because we
have been swindled by our opponents,
and betrayed by some in whom we trust
ed The people are sound to the
core, and they will be heard and needed
The Republican party stands forth before
the world as the party of dishonesty and
fraud. The hand of g. cry honest man
must be against it. Its Waterloo was at
the Inauguration; on that day its disin-
tegration commenced. 1t will sink be-
meath the contempt and scorn OF the
North and the South alike, and its stencil
will be great throughout the land.
