TO PLACiTE ONO REPUBLICfNS.
HnycsTrying to show that his southern Policy
Originated with Grant.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Secretary Nc
Crary sent to-day TO Judge West of Ohio n letter
written by Major Sniifcn late secretary TO Gen.
Grant. addressed to Packard. bearing date Of
March /. 1877. This letter declares that Grant
would not furnish troops TO support either
claimant. feeling that popular opinion would
no longer sustain such action. This letter is
published for the purpose Of showing that this
new policy did not originate with Hayes. That
an attempt should be made TO show this is rather
surprising. as Mr.. Hayes is supposed to
pride himself upon his southern policy. and
has hoped to gain enough strength from II in
the South to resist any Republican intimi idation.
II il a we'll known fact however. that at the
time the solution OF the Presidential muddle
was being subjected to every sort of trading in
trigue. great pressure WAS brought To- boar up IN
Grant to got him to take the responsibility oi
Withdrawing the troops from the South. II WIS
an essential part of the bargain. and Grant
consented to make the order. How this order
was suppressed in the office of the Secretary Of
War is u matter of history; SO that this letter Of
MAJOR Sniif"n conveys no new knowledge ot the
actual situation. Whrn everything was IN chaos
here, southern mon sacrificed everything tu
secure their local Governments. The produc-
tion Of this letter n justin alton of what Mr.
Hayes was forced To- do as part OF the price he
! had to pay to enter the White House. IL absurd
! II was given out by Secretary McCrary. who Is
| opposed To Hayes : southern policy. II could

One OF it not tho most powerful iron-c1ad in

commissioned ut Chatham to-day by Capt. a.
Culme Seymour. Her powers Of offeuse and de-
tense are very great, and no ship that has be-
fore been added to magnificent fleet OF iron
cIads has attained with such excellence arrange
ments for lighting and resisting the enemy. She
carries eight heavy guns, four OF which arc TWEEN
two Of the former, one at the bow aud one ut

are worked BY hydraulic machinery; thcv have
an aIi-round fire; the remaining two are PLACED
one on either broadside, and fire nearly ahead.
Ibe four eighteen-ton guns are placed two an
either broadsle. Arrangements are made for
firing the ~ Whitehead ~ torpedo on either side
OF the ship. This ship is also supplied with out
rissgser torpedoes, which will be used from
steam pinnaccs. Gatliug guns are provided,
and can be used in action from the tops il nee.
