WASHINGTON LETTER.
Scenes in the House of Representatives-New
Run.ors as to Hayes Southern Po1icy-The
Coming CuJinet-some Half Cieili=cd
People cali on President Grant.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March /, 1871
There were individual members Of the House
Yesterday who became intensely excited, but
the general feeling was calmer than TOR some
time The decisive vote by which motions
for delay were voted down early in the day,
and the course of Speaker Randall, seemed
to convince nearly every one that the count
would proceed and q result be reached before
the 4th, and to suppress on the part OF most
members any violent expression Of feeling.
But it was au occasion never to be forgotten,
nevertheless. The spectacle was presented
of great party yielding serenely to the result
of an acknowledged fraud which deprived it
not only of the mere spois Of victory, but Of
a noble opportunity to reunite the country
and restore it to its old prosperity. There
will be many who will condemn the surrender
of the Democratic House an act of cow
ardice, but let US hope that when better un.
dcrstood it will be considered highly hons
orable acquioscence in the decision of Com
mission for which long before the party had
made itself responsible. IF there was any
fault it was in creating the Commission, and
not in keeping religiously the promises made
in creating the Commission.
No Leg isative business was transacted in
either House yesterday. For the frst time
tho reported agreement between Hayes and
leading Southern men took tangible shape
yesterday in the papers. Even then, however,
it was little more than newspaper statement.
Among the alleged conditions were the rcc>
ogni,on of Hampton and Nichols as Cover
nors of their respective States, and the elec>
tinn of a Republican Senator from Louisiana
by the Democratic or regular Legislature.
1t is also said that no Southern man will have
place in tho Cabinet at first, but that after
matters become more settled, and the South.
crn people have became rcconciled in mea-
sure to the new administration, they will be
allowed to suggest one more members.
Undoubtedly the Southern policy of Hayes
will he an improvement on Grants, and will
therefore from the first create better feeling
thers, but the representative Southcrner who
first accepts Office from the incoming admins
istration will be bold man indeed.
Tho only member Of the present Cabinet
who is spoken of as likely to be continued in
office. is Secretary Morrill,. The Secretary
is volen. psr,izan. bu. his political labors
were not allowed to interfere with his official
duties as Chambers and Cameron's did.
a band of half civilized Indians called on
President G rant yesterday to extend their good
wishes on his retirement from Office, Thus
it is seen that no administration can be so
utterly bad as to be entirely without friends
whiie it lives and mourncrs when it dies.
