THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESIDENT AS TO LOUISE
ANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
The purpose OF the President appears to
be to postpone any definite action as to LOU
islana and South Carolina until after the
adjournment of the Senate, which will take
place on Monday at the latest. The Presi-
dent does not now favor the Wheeler COM

THE CABINET-HAYEs's SOUTHERN POLICY.
The Cabinet did not commence till half
past 0 O'Clock. The postponement was said
to be attributable to the absence OF Eyarts,
who had heavy retainer IN the Vanderbilt
Will case.
The Presidents southern policy, so far,
has not yet ripened into any plan. Intense

night, but it is mostly artificial. Some
twenty Legitimate newspaper-men are on
the Gui viUe, but none OF them have as yet
their special black eat. 1t is improbable
THAT any definite southern plan can be
adopted tonight, OF that authentic details
can transpire.
It is most likely that some civil-seryice
device will be adopted whereby applicants
for office may be subjected to special tests
that no one can bear. Every one will fail,
and the places will go to favorites.
~ Later.
The Cabinet met and discussed southern
affairs tonight. Civil service and an ex-
ira session OF Congress occupied their at
tention There was a full Cabinet, and the
meeting lasted until midnight. The details
are inaccessible.
1t has transpired that nothing definite
was reached in the Cabinet tonight.
Mcssrs. Schurz and Eyarts had not pre-
pared their tests on the civil service, and
the question OF an extra session was post
poned for future consideration.
TIE NEW ELECTION SCHEME.
: Senator Patterson has submitted to the
President an elaborate plan for the new
election, which he favors.
3, The pressure in favor OF the new-elcction
idea is becoming earnest from the more
radical Republicans. 1t may be said that
HAYES is not committed to it. lie and his
advisers are reported as not seeing how it
can be done without Federal interference
more in discord with the spirit OF the inau-
gural than the use OF bayonets.
Ex-senator Robertson, OF South Carolina,
accompanied by eX-Congressman Wallace,
called on the President to-day, protesting
against Senator Patterson's proposition for
a new election, on the ground that the sub
stantial or industrial interests OF South
Carolina would be materially damaged by
such election. 1t was further stated to
the President that none OF the Republican
members of that State had been consulted
on the subject, and therefore it was in the
nature OF an independent proposition on
the part Of Senator Patterson, stimulated
perhaps by Governor Chamberlain. Mr..
Robertson stated that the solution OF the
South Carolina complications could be ac-
complished by more simple means-Vlz.,
the withdrawal OF troops from the State
capital, when the people themselves would
adjust the difficulty. The President re-
ceired Messrs. Robertson and Wallace
courteonsly, and as they are natives OF the
State said they would at all times be well
come. .. ... ~. ...t

E SUPPLIES FOR THE ARMY.
judge Advocate General W. NJ. Dunn
writes General Sherman that supplies TO
the army under q forced construction o
the statute cannot be purchased in advanc

money for the pay Of men. The opinion
positive that the proper maintenance OF til
army requires the appropriation by the en-
OF June, and consequently involves an eXtr
