WASHINGTON, March 6.
President Hayes inaugural gives re-
markably general satisfaction. The
feeling of Southern men is especially
gratified by its conservative tone and
its unmi>takable intimation that car.
p~et-baggers can expect little or NJ
favorable consideration from the new
Administration. They are also greatly
pleased with Hayes declaration thai
the material developments OF the South
now deserve considerable are of the
National Government within the just
limits presented by the Constitution
and wise public economy. This is
construed as a representation of tx
ecutive support for Federal assistance
to build the Texas Pacific railway and
to construct the Mississippi levee. The
assured appointment of Key to be
Postmaster General is very highly
commended as a wise recognition OF
the desirability of winning over to the
Republican party the large and in1u-
entail old line Wing element of the
South, which coalesced with the Dem
ocrats as tie only available means of
preventing the permanent establish
ment of negro rule and carpet
baggers. The Governments appoint
ment of a Southern man like Key to
the Cabinet, together with the CON
sentative u%tterances of the inaugural.
will, it is believed, have an immedia' e
and very powerful influence in secur-
ing desirable accessions 10 the Repub-
lican party in the South and greatly
hasten the subsistence of the excited
state of feeling among the Democrats
throughout the entire country.
New YORK, March 6.
The Herdld'S Washington special
says: The inaugural message was
printed almost as soon as it was spoken
and was read With the greatest interest,
but with very diverse feeling by differ
ent classes of politicians. The best
men of both parties, those who really
desire the country to have rest aud
peace and good government, approved
it highly. They said it was a frank.
straightforward document and read
like the utterance of a sincere aud hon
est man. What the President says
about the Southern question satisfied
the best classes of Southern Democrats
and all of both parties who desired a
settlement of the Southern difficulties.
Average Republican politicians re,
ceived the message rather coldly. As
to what was said about civil service re-
form they smile and say, "very easy
to talk, but the President will see by
aud-by." But wen they are not in
clined to oppose him in what they
think to be his notions III this subject.
He will have to ask advice of Con
gressmen, they say, in filling vacancies
which are always occurring. A mem
| Der of Congress after all knows more
about the people of his district than
any one else and is the best man to
make responsible. 1t would be a good
thing, these men say, to break down
Senatorial patronage which they think
has become an abuse. but after al
they think the President will soon find
out what is practicable, and there will
be no such great change. Carpet-bag
gers are in a d%olorous mood, as are the
Cameron men, who threaten venge
ance.
NASHVILLE, March 6.
The American Leader. the Demo
cratic organ, says: Elk Senator Key
of Tennessee, will probably be appoint,
ed Postmaster General. This is a de
parture from the general custom ant
would seem to indicate that Hayes
means what he says about unpartisai
civil service. Key has never beef
anything but a Democrat, is a man o
ability and thoroughly honest. His
appointment isa good indication anC
one which will be likely to make ex-
tremists howl, while every man wht
seeks the prosperity of our countr,
must rejoice at this indication as far as
it goes.
The Herald's Richmond (Va.) spe'
cial says: The inaugural address is
regarded rs kindly promising every
thing which Southerners have a RICH
to expect.
NEW YORK, March 6.
Southerners. say the tone of the in
augural address has given them grea
announcement. Interviews were helC
with 25 Southern Democrats since its
delivery and they all concur in thu
opinion that ii Hayes adheres to his in

Southern people.
Ellis, of Louisiana, said to-day, if thu
President carried out these pledges anC
did not interfere between the wv gov
J ernments of Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, the Nichols and Hampton gov
ernments would prevail
