most astonishing thing is Stanley Mat
ttsw's recan.ation.. He had two
466rS ~iatervicw with the President
last evening. in which he urged upon
him > change in policy. claiming that
his southern scheme must be aban-
doned. Matthews has urged upon the
President that he owes too much to the
Republican party to utterly ruin it,
and that he. Matthews. is convinced
that the Presidents Southern policy
10 one that is destructive to the
Republican party. The President has
listsned patiently to this weak advising
of his intimates, but does not know

cipitates action at once upon this OBJ
jectionable class of appointments in the
