The South ANA the Strike.

WAsuINGToN, July 25.-rhe Cabinet has
held daily sessions since Friday last and
will continue to do so uutil tho necessity has
passed. The President and the Cabinet
| membcrs all express the opinion that it will
not bo wise to relax in tho least tho vigiant
watch over tho riotcrs until all opposition to
| tho railroad operations shall cease. 70 day
thcro was also brought bcforc tho Cabinet tho
subject Of tho anticipated Indian outbreaks in
Alaska, in consequence of tho Withdrawal of
tho Federal troops. 1t is believed that tho
reports Of this matter have boon much cxagac
rated in the interest Of parties who wish tho
troops kept in Alaska for their private gain,
but as measure of prccauton orders we're
issued that two Of tho revenue cutters now on
tho Pacific coast shall be despatched to Stkn
to restore order should the Indians make any
hostile demonstrations.
4 member Of the Cabinet, nftcr tho mecling
this afternoon, said the good effects Of prosi
don't Hayes Southorn policy had boon re-
mnrkably cxcmpifed. lilo said if the Prcsi
Chamberlain it would iavo necessi
tnted tho retention Of q considerable number
Of troops in both louisiana und South Caro-
lima. In consequence Of tho disturbances in
tho North at this time tho President would
have no alternative but to remove tho troops.
Their removal would have been followed by a
popular uprising against Packard and Cham
| bcriain, and tho spectacle would then havo
boen presented of the government having to
cope with rebellion in tho North and q res
belion in tho South. AS it was, tho govern
mont, for the first time since the war found
tsclf entirely relieved from any fcars rs to
public tranquility in the South.
The President himself feels worry much
checred by this reflection and by tho evidences
which have so frcoly como from tho South Of
it's active sympathy with his cifarts to pro.
servo tho peace Of the country. The whirli-
gig of timo brings about somo strange things.
If, rs is happily not now anticipated, tho
President should be forced to call for volun =.
tocrs, thoro is no question here that tho quota
of the South would DO made up in an incrcdi-
bly, short timo, and Southern soldiers would be
found aiding in putting down rebellion on
Northern soil.
