THE POLITICIANS PUZZLED.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Morton letter
puzzles the politicians. Some OF them in
terpret it as sort of warning to Mr.. Hayes
to "let up" on his southern policy, and
they prophesy that lie will "let up" before
the summer is over. Others understand it
as an endorsement OF the policy rs the best
thing that could be done under the circum-
stances, and that he seeks to encourage
Republicans to hold together, whatever
minor differences CT opinion may exist
between them and the President. Southern
men are not sorry that Morton has shown
his hand so soon, for they say our people
will now know that the glovcd hand eN-
tended to them by the Administration is not
what itseemS. The falsehoods lie utters in
relation to the southern people will tend to
revive bitter feelings against the Republican
party and consolidate the Democracy.
NORTH CAROLINIASS n WASHINGTON.
Colonel J. n. Staples and eX-Congrcssman
Leach, both of North Carolina, have been
in this city week or ten days looking after
the interests Of certain clients-tobacco
manufacturers who have gotten into trouble
with the Government. These gentlemen
complain that they are wrongfhly repre-
scented in northern newspaper as heading
IL movement for the organization of Il new
political party in North Carolina. They say
they did call on the President recently, but
it was only to pay their respects. They ap-
prove of the Presidents course towards the
South. but do not advise nor desire to lead
4 movement for new party organization.
A MYTH.
The story of Il meeting OF one hundred
and fifty sorchcad Republicans in Washing
ton last night to organize party movement
in the interest of Blaine, which was tce-
graphcd hence last night by the Associated
Press. was 4 myth. Father Gobright was
imposed upon by some scamp. The Star Of
this evening says it was Il meeting Of six
members OF the "Southcrn Republican AS
sociation," and that they did discuss the
question OF starting Il new party. 4 nice
party it would be under such distinguished
leadership.

ADDITIONAL TROOPS FOR UTAH NOT ~NECES-
SARY.
Il is not considered necessary at the War
Department that additional troops be sent
to Utah. Official statements from there do
not sustain warlike demonstrations on the
part OF the Mormons reported in the pa
pcrS.
SENATOR MOTIONS LETTER
is seriously commented upon by the polti-
clans. The radical Republicans say that it
cannot be dignifed int tirst-cass groWl.
1t is generally considered as double-ender,
susceptible Of most any construction one
wishes to place upon it.
AENICAN REFUGEES SAVED BY A TIMELY
TELEGRAM.

about delivering them when the American
consul on the opposite side brought the mat
ter to the attention OF the State Department
here, which promptly telegraphed that the
warrant was illegal and must not be conf
piled with. The proceedings were OF course
stopped, and the Department is now in ra-
ccipt, through the consul, OF the grateful
thanks OF the men whose lives were saved.
