FEELING WASHINGTON,
News received here late this evening that General
Augur has received his orders from the President and
that Governor Nichols has issued his proclamation of
peace. security and amnesty gave great Joy soon
1t became known. There was great anxiety all the
evening because there had been delay in the
transmission of General Augur's orders and the
pet-baggers boasting that they would not be
sent at all
SENSATIONAL REPORTS.
The city filled with reports all tho afternoon that
the White League had risen New Orleans and that
battle imminent, ard tho carpet-bag republicans
were jubiant over this, which, however, private
dispatches from New Orleans showed to be false.
EXTREME REPUBLICANS THREATENING.
Some OF the extreme republican leaders bitterly
opposed to the new Southern policy, and Mr.. Hayes
has already made feel that they do like It,
They say that II no to do such things as
this he had better resign; that they have
for him, aud they threaten to make
him so much trouble that be will have to back down
They do not like to the power the party depart
ing from them VIII ch they have long held by their
oppression of The Southern States.
The understanding here is that the same policy
which has bcen begun In Louisiana is TO follow in
South Carolina.
