WAsnISGToN D. c., April 1 1877.
There is one commendable feature in the fre-
qucpi consultations or interviews with the
! President 0n the All-absorbing questions in
vOlved 10 the present political conditions oi
South Carolina aud louisiana. We have ref
ereuce tn tho appearance at the capilalOf della
cations representing the business Of the coun
try in coniradistincton of tho politicians. The
President has manifested his pleasure in giving
special attention To the representations and
views OF this class Of felnw.citiz.ns, whose
interest is intimately connected with the build
| ing up Of prosperity in all branches of trade
and production. The interview which a Com
miuee " the Charleston Chamber Of C IN merce
had with the Executive yesterday was Of a
very interesting character. They evidenced
no bias growing out Of an intense pa rtisabism,
but in argument present their case in tue char
actors ot merchants, manufacturers, bankers
and planters, whose future prosperity in their
sOveI al branches o. business depends upon the
speedy restoration of peace in their RESPECTIVE q
Commonwealth. In this they have the SYM
| psthy OF every true lover Of his country.
There are encouraging indications that, as a
result Of the Inauguration OF President Hayes,
the line OF demarcAtion between State and Ma
tional auth ority, as drawn in the Constitution'
is to be observed. The necessities oousequent
upon state Of war which had relaxed the
strict observance Of this limit, no longer exist
| The President evidently recog mixes the fact
and has already decided to order the withdraw
al Of tho troops stationed within the State
house at Columbia, South Carolina, thus leav-
ing the settlement Of the vexed questions as to
the legal State government to the proper State
authorities and to the psOpe. Any future use
OF the United States troops will b. in accurd-
anee with the provisions OF the Constitu ion
and the Statutes relating thereto, Intcrferel
to maintain the peace will only bc resnrtc,l t
in the event o! the inability of the State au.
thorities to do so, and the demand for National
aid must come through the leg itimatc chapnels
which are the legislatures when in session. md
the Governors when in recess it will be imprac-
ticable to convene said legislatures, 1t will be
happy day when the constitutional rights o
all the States as well as Of all classes uf citi.
zous will be ack knOwl ledged aud protected in
the manner provided by law.
Now that the people, with very few excep
tions, have accepted the situation in the decis-
ion Of the Presidential cnnIrOVersyt any effort
in whatever quarter to disturb the recognized
succession will be frowned upon. The wished
for quiet and peace, and the complete restnra-
tnn Of our business activities in II channels is
at hand, and must not be thwarted by disap D.
pointed pArtisans. The rumorS Of an stem pt

who would rather be prom inenl in the regions
Of his SantAnic Majesty than to serve in hum
BILE positions in the realms of bliss.
Now that the eolored men OF the South have
beer accepted as entitled to a full partcipa tier
in the gaFernmsnt established BY the people
and for the people, the elevation in the scale oI

polite is pressing itself on public attention
The deter mination expressed by the natinna
authorities 10 protect the colored nan ia the
enjoyment Of his political rights meets with
favorable response, but the promnen ut neceasi-
ty that in order to make him safe element in
our system hs must be educated, is self eyi.

phila nthrnpists.
