WHY CAMERON RESIGNED

IuhI DtHhtOT OhnbTOn, III I'll lutSlNicWS
says he resigns because he is tired of pub
lie life. He has none but the klndest feel
Jugs towards President Hayes. Some
things about the administration, such as
placing an ex-confederate in the cabinet,
no dlsapproved, and shall tell the president
so plainly. He thought Hayes should not
be condemned without fair trial of his
policy, though he feared his policy would
fail. Cameron said he voted against con-
firming Sherman hacause when he Cam
eron) was nominated as minister to Russia,
Sherman wanted to name Cameron's sue
cessor as secretary Of war, but did not sue
coed. He voted to lay over his Game
ro1's) nomination for few days. Cam
eron opposed such course, because the
latter had sneered at him, charging the
removal of Sumner from the foreign rela-
lations committee to him (Cameron),
though he had besougbt President Grant
not to require the change. Cameron said
Hayes could not have been nominated ex-
cept for his and his sons help. Before the
nomination Senator Sherman telegraphed
to Hale's fatber-n-law for 81, 200 to meet
expenses, and Chandler would not send
the money until he (Cameron) became re-
sponsible for il. The Herald further re-
ports rumor that Cameron's dislike to
Evarts would make the formers place as
chairman Of the foreign relations commit
tee unpleasant. Hence the resignation.
The Times Washington special attributes
Cameron's resignation to his dlsapproval Of
Hayes policy.
THE SOUTHERN CORRESPONDENCE APP
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CHANGE.
The Worlds Washington special says
the question of sending commission to the
south YVES alluded to In the cabinet meeting
yesterday, but under the protest of south
ern congressman the project will be aband-
oned. A special meeting of tho cabinet is
called for Wednesday evening, to consider
foreign appointments. Beale will be re.
called from Vienna, Partridge from Brazil,
Washburne from France, Andrews from
Stockholm, Marsh from Italy; Bingham will
remain in japan, Seward in China, Logan
In Chill, and Bankroft Davis in Germany.
The president appointed N. p. Clarke,
twelve years chief clerk of Auburn, N. Y,
postofiice, to BIO postmaster. This ap-
pointment was made without consulting
the congressman from the Auburn district,
aud is said to be in the civil service line of
promotion.
RULE OF THE CIVIL sRRvICE-How POST
MASTER GENERAL KEY APPLIES 1T.
The 7r7bu1ae's Washington special says
it is understood that one of the new civil
service rules will provide that recommends
tons Of congressman shall not be regarded
or considered except when in accordance
with the best judgment Of the president and
cabinet, on the Iground that as congress
constitutes the indctng and impeaching
power, it cannot be presumed they will be
Jealous in indicting or impeaching persons
of their own appointment. These rules
will be promulgated within week. An
aggressive applicant with copious recon-
mendations applied to Postmaster General
Key for the postmastership of Columbia S.
@. Key asked who held tho office now.
"a colored man" was the reply, ''who of
course ought to be put out at once" Key
asked II he mismanaged the office. The
man said he had heard no complaint
"Then, said Key, "there are only two
ways In which he can be displaced without
oppositltion from me. One is by the army
OF the United State and the other is by or
der OF the president"
THE CASES OF THE TWO DISPUTED STATES.
The 1rfbune's Washington special says
the conviction is growing in Washington
that, in some way or another, Hampton
and Nichols will before long obtain COM
plete possession of their states. Every
southern man who Ia, had an interview
with the president believes this. The pres
ident is also represented as being very con-
hdent that he can build up whig-republi-
can party in Louisiana. Hampton has vir-
tual possession of South Carolina. Cham
berlain exercises none of the functions of
the state government, and even republicans
concede that his cause is hopeless, and
look to HamT ton to give peace to the state.
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO NICHOLS AND
HAMPTON.
The Times again reports that commls
sion will be sent south aud attempt to ad.
just the difficulties by arbitration. The
southern republicans have resolved to do
everything in their power to prevent the
recognition of Hampton and Nichols.
Should they fail they threaten to change
the political complexion Of the senate bv
voting against Kellogg's and Corbins ad-
mission. A letter to Senator Mcmillan.
written by Mr.. Weber three days before
his recent assassination in Louisiana, begs
for Packard's recognition, and says the
lives of negro and white republicans are in
constant danger, and there would be no
hope under Nichols government.
soUTHRRNERs INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT.
The Suns Washington special reports a
long conference held yesterday by senator
Gordon with the president. 1t Stems to
have removed all donbt in his mind or that
OF Gen. Butler, elected to the senate by
the Hampton legislature, as to the honesty
and fair purpose of the president. Appre-
hension of riot and disturbance is the chief
and only obstacle in Hayes mind to the
early action on his part in favor of Hamp-
ton. The Sun reports that Hayes plan to
settle the southern difficulty Is to have new
state elections.
NEW CUBAN POLICY.
The Suns special says various circum-
stances show that the present cabinet Ia
likely to pursue a more vigorous policy
than the last on the Cuban question. The
National Repu6hcan, the home organ of
the new administration, has already limited
at new policy toward Spain, and to-day
will speak more emphatically.
