was in session two hours to-day, consid.
ering theesouth Carolina, Louisiana and
civil service rules. Nothing definite was
done,
LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS,
Concerning the alleged Insurance OF
the President to Southern gentlemen, in
voiving the withdrawal OF troops from the
Capitals Of Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, there is authority for saying that
the President had given no assurance OF
Immediate action, and that on the subject
in all cases he has said the gravity OF the
questions required caution and delibera,
tion, and hence the recent letter to Gov.
Chamberlain and Hampton inviting them
to Washington. Ii ia further stated in
official quarters that previous to the Pres.
idenrs Inauguration he meditated the
sending OF commission to Louisiana.
Several prominent men, who have been
referred to MS parties to various alleged
agreements on this subject, cay they are as
well satisfied as at any previous time,
that in the end no Southern Sta:e govern
ment will be sustaind by Federal troops.
They consider that nothing has been done
by the President since he endorsed the
the settlements OF Representative Fosters,
or since he made them more emphatic
ally his own in his inaugural address,
which vi0latfs or indicates any intended
violation ot the policy thus announced,
and therefore even il assurances given
by Matthews and Foster had
been made by the President, which was
not the case, there is no ground for
asserting that they will not be fulfilled.
a very largely attended meeting was
held tonight under the auspices Of the
Republican Central Committee, at which
speeches were made and resolutions
adopted warmly endorsing the Presidents
paciication policy ami pledging support.

day, rendered decision in the cases OF
The Town OF South 0ttowa vs.. Perkins
and the Supervisors OF Kendall 4 Co. Va.
Post; error TO Circuit Court for the
Northern District OF Illinois. These are
actions on bonds OF corporations which
recited on their face the law under which
they were Issued, and the necessary com.
pliance with the terms OF the law. The
list installment having been paid and the
holders having taken the bonds without
notice OF any defect in the law the iudg.
ments were in their favor. The ground

which the issue was made was
not actually passed, as it did not
