machine for the next four years.
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Crowds Of hungry Office seekers throng
the Executive Mansion daily and have
become such nuisance as to compel
restrictions upon their admission. Mum
bers forced themselves into the presence
Of Mrs. Hayes and endGaYored to secure
her ear to their solicitations for Office.
But, of course, without avail, and the
result has been the issuing of strict Or
ders of prohibition from every room but
that of the President and his Secretaries
and here every card is rigidly scrIltinized
to prevent admission Of the mere beggar
for pitiful Office whose bestowal devolves
upon some Executive Department.
Messrs. Lamar, Gordon, and several
other Southern Senators, called yester
day upon the President to secure with
drawal of the federal troops from sup
port Of Chamberlain in South Carolina
and Packard in Louisiana, and assured
him with strongest guarantee that no
violence would follow as the people
would let these authorities die from lack
Of financial support without necessity of
resort to arms to dispossess. They de-
preciated new election because it would
merely continue their financial and poll
teal troubles, while they only wanted
peace and absolute relief. Mr.. Hayes
did not directly accept their pledges but
every movement indicates that he will
follow their suggestions and will allow
their Governors to fall in so far as upheld
by Federal bayonets. He is undoubted-
ly right in this. AS a result of four years
experience after the war as Freedman's
Bureau officer III charge Of large dis
trict in Southern State, and extensive
travel and observation since in all the
Southern States, l am led to say there is
no mode of solving cur reconstruction
state government into the hands of the
| taxpayers who are the whites. Brains
only rule IN free country, and as these
| preponderate viii the whites, the negro
| unless supported by troops, must neces
| sarily take an inferior position. But as
it is impracticable as well as expedient,
to keep him in power by federal arms
| he should be left to rise or fall by his
| own inherent forces. There is not the
slightest causefo for apprehension of whole
| sale murder, should he he left to his own
resource. OF thisI am perfectly satisfied,
| hence I can but commend that action of
| the President which looks to withdrawal
Of Federal interference in Southern
State affairs. Every Senator without
| regard to party has called upon the Pres
| ident to pay his respects or intercede fol-
some Office seeker and the 800 vacant
| offices, which require executive action
| prior to the Senate adjournment, have
occupied his attention to the exclusion
| nearly of every other matter. Beyond
| interviews with Senators and Congress.
| men he has little time for the pubic and
will not tackle directly with the recon
| struction muddle till after the adjourn
| ment of the Senate, which under the
desire to leave Southern matters alone
till next winter, viii doubles adjourn
early next week. Mrs. Hayes continues
her receptions, though the one given to
the ladies on Saturday last was attended
| 50 universally that the jam and crowd
induced thereby seemed to have satisfied
for the present many thousands who
| now remain at home leaving the White
House comparatively free from the usual
throng of pleasure seekers.
