The New Orleans times publishes scrap of history which shows that President Grant was the req, author of what is known as Hayes Southern Policy, and that he realty issued an order on the 2nd day of March last for the withdrawal of the troops from Louisiana State House, which was given to General sherman with instructions to i'm mediately enforce it. Don Cameron, then Secretary of War, found out that such an order had been issued and not submitted to him, as he had right by virtue of his posi- ton to d,mand. and he gave General Sher- man orders to disregard all orders not com ing through the War office. This he did because he was determined that although he had but two days more 10 serve, he would not be ignored, even by the President, as long as he held the office. Thus il was that policy inaugurated by Grant became known as Hayes Southern Policy.
