THE PRESIDENTS PURPOSE REGARDING THE
Senator Bruce, accompanied by Repre-
sentative Lynch, OF Mississippi, visited the
President tonight by invitation. The
President stated to them that 1t was his
purpose to bring the parties and races in
the South into such relations as will secure
peace and prosperity, and, under local
| seif-government, provide protection to all
classes without the intervention Of Federal
bayonets. <..
The visitors seemed to gather from the
observations Of the President that South
Carolina and Louisiana would have to be
given up, but that the troops would not be
withdrawn until ample guarantees were
furnished that disorders and oppression
would not follow. Senator Bruce is some
what careful in his expression, but he evil
IDENTIFY thinks it best that the government Of
Louis lana should pass into Nichols's hands.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
The Treasury Department has good rea-

before the meeting OF Congress in Deccm-
Der. One hundred and thirty millions have
already been placed, about half abroad,
