SOUTH CAROLINA. .
ATALK WITH THE PRESIDENT,

WASHINGTON. D. G., March s.-Tho President
had very interesting conversation with Gen.
Gordon on South Carolina affairs. Gen. Gordon
appealed to him to take sonic actionwith regard
t. South Carolina, as he had in Louisiana. The
President said he had not Jet made up his mind
concerning South Carolina; that Chamberlain
had not given him much trouble, aud be hoped
that the courts would be able to settle the
matter without any interference on bis part.
He said also, that perhaps It would be best
for him to SEQ Gov. Hayes and ascer-
tain his views about the propriety Of withdraw
ing the troops. He said further, that It was
possible that on reflection be might tomorrow
conclude to issue the orders asked for In South
Carolina, but he could not say for certain. He
expressed desire to take such action in both OF
these States as was right, and would meet the
approval Of the country. To Democrats with
whom he conyersed, the President intimated
that 1t was his wish to banish all feelings OF
political antagonism Or resentment. The warm
personal manner Of the President made pro-
found impression on them.

dry Civil Appropriation bill.
Mr., Window, from the Committee on the Leg
islativc, judicial, and Executive Appropriation
bill, submitted q report, and 10 explanation
thereof said the House OF Representatives nn-
dertook to reduce very large number OF sal
aries which were fixed by the Compromise act
OF last year. The Senate restored these salar-
les, and the House conferees agreed. In very
few cases the salaries have been rcduccd slight
| ly. On the question of reducing the Presidents
salary, tho conference was unable to agree He
moFed that the Senate agree to the report OF
the Committee, and insist upon its amendment
in regard to the Presidents salary. So ordered.

| for in regard to that amendment. Agreed to-.
Alcssrs. Blaine and Maekcy were appointed Wis
] itors on the part OF the Senate to the West

The Chair laid before the Senate commuui-
cation from the Secretary OF War, incosing q
ing attention to recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in regard to land-grant railroads, and
suggesting legislation to secure the reduction
to which the Government is entitled for trans
portation, ETC. Referred.
Mr.. West (Ia). from the Conference Com
mittee on the fost-Ofice Appropriation bill,
submitted report that the conference had been
unable to agree upon the item increasing the
appropriation for mail transportation BY rail-
to fx the amount at so 1900, 900, but the
House conferces insisted that the appropriation
should not exceed SO, 200, 600. On account Of the
the Atlantic and the Great West was less efficient
than it was In 1875. Although the difference be-
tween the two committees was only Sl00. GOO, 1t
meant injury to the SERVICE the estimates OF the
Post Office Department for this serrlcc were over
$40. 000 GOO. Tho conference also failed to agree
upon the amendments In regard to subsidies for

Janeiro.
After long discussion, by vote OF yeas, 20,

FARTT-THE NECESSITY OF CHECEING IT.
10 the Editor ar 7ne Tribune.
CHICAGO, March 3.-To the impartial observe,
OF human nature and of human actions, much
food for serious reflection may be found In the
decisions OF this Commission.
1t will generally be conceded that the MEM
bcrs Of the Commission are gentlemen Of more
than usual intelligence; that the two parties
represented by them have In their ranks many
men OF equal honesty and patriotism; and that,
so far as their platforms are concerned, it Is
hard to find any very material difference be-
tween them. think it will also be conceded;
certainly by those not mfsled by party bias, that
neither of these parties, including the candi-
dates for the two highest offices, would
wish to come into power merely to ruin the
! country and the Government.
