inieutiOn TO appoint both Frederick Douglass and
Prof Langston TO important and responsible po-
slt'ons at an carly day He shond probably appoint
Ar Douglass first Oh account Of his greater age and
OF his having formerly been slave, considering him

Br TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEH.l
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 14.-The excitement and
anxiety over the Senatorial contest is on the in
crease, and every hour adds to the difficulties and
complications of the situation. While there has
been no material change, the aspect of affairs has
somewhat altered in favor of ex-Atorney y-Gencral
Taft Ii is admitted that Mr.. Matthews will lead
on the first and probably the second ballot, with
Rowland as second and Taft third. After the rub
blsh is cleared away-that is those who have few
supporters-it. is thought the real trouble
will begin and that after the second third
ballot Mr. Howland's supporters will break,
and the contest will lie between Matthews
and Taft. The best information that can be gained
fails to indicate how many will join either of the
candidates. Strong efforts have been made to secure
this party before the caucus by both Matthews and
Taft, but they have been entirely unsuccessful. No
doubt one reason Of their soldty lies in the fact
that an influence has been brought to bear upon
members by their constituents, some of whom are
here. They say that after the withdrawal of Gen.
Garfield, Matthew'S the first choice;
but that his letter TO Gov. Chamberlain,
various reports in circulation that he would favor
the recognition of Hampton IN South Carolina and
Nichols in Louisiana has created feeling Of sus
pcion TO his fitness under existing circumstances
This IL especially noticeable among members from
Northern Ohio. Every newspaper item adverse to
Mr.. Matthews is made use of by his opponents, and
there can be no doubt they have had the desired
effect. Another letter is SAID to have been written
by Mr. Matthews to Gov. Packard copy
of which, il is claimed. will reach here
from New-Orcans tomorrow. While tie contest
will be- close, exciting and bitter, there is little
doubt that AT this hour cx-tttorncy-General Tafts
prospects are more favorable than at any other time
Mr. Matthew's friends claim that they are cont
dent, bUt they do not express themselves entirely
satisfied with the condition of affairs.

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TEiBUNE.l
WAsHNGToY, March H. Much anxiety is cx-
pressc,hhcrc among Republicans from all sections Of
the country, and particularly among those from
Ohio that whoever is elected to the vacant seat of
Senator Sherman shall be man known to be IN
hearty accord with the Administration AMI who will
approve it's new policy. OF course, OF those named
Stanley Matthews is accepted rs one concerning
whose relations t. the Pre- dent and the hearty sup
port of his Southern policy There is no reason ior
misunderstanding. The fact has come ont
that a small part of those who, while
unwilling to do anything openly, are still anxious to
see President Hayes crippled. casting about Tor
meaus to defeat Judge Matthews. Their purpose Is
to creaie the impression that th" Presidents own
State declines to support hs policy by refusing 10
elect q candidate whose relations are intimate with
him. In view Of this fact, many who nave thought
that Mr. Matthcwss first duty Was to contest Mr.
Ba.inings seat now conceive 1t 30 he question oi
much more Importance that man who stands be-
fore the country az prominent supporter oi the
Presidents Whole policy should be returned TO tue
Senate from OHIO. The fact hdt JGige Matthews
sustains these relations would. OF itself give him
such a standing in the Senate as no new man, 10
matter what his ability, coald otherwise attain.

ACCEPT.
fly TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBUSE.I


W.sHINGToN March 14.-It is reported to-day
that Senator Morton feels disposed TO accept the
cbairInapship of the Committee on Foreign Rala-
toUs to which he is entitled upon Mr. Camcr0ns
resignation. He now holds the second place on that
committee. Ia doing this he will of course be
Obliged to resign the craftsmanship of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections. His present committee
was created under interesting circumstances.
When the late Senator Sumner became obnoxious
TO Gen. Grants Administration, and the Senate i'll
Difference to the Presidents wishes, concluded TO
depose him from the position which he had so long
held it undertook to satisfy the country by creating
anew place for the great Massachusetts statesman
and to give il equal dignity with the fror which
he was removed The Senate up to that time had
had 10 Committee on Elections. All questions
touching the rights of Senators to seats had pre-
viously been referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary. The caucus then concluded to create
the Committee on Privileges and Elections, and to
place Senator Sumner at its head. Senator Morton
was second OF the committee and the majority OF
the committee made up OF Senators not IA po-
litical accord with Nh. Sumner. The latter lndig-
nantly refused to accept the place or to take any
other charmanshp, and Mr.. Morton of course sue
cee,ed 10 it, Since its organization this committee
has been made the most Important political commit
tee of the Senate. All Southern questions have
been referred 10 it, and all the great Investigations,
beginning with that of the elections III Louisiana
and Alabama in 1872 and ending with those of
1876 have been conducted by il.
With the settlement of the Southern question the
importance of this committee will probably pass
away, and the Committee Oh Foreign Relations with
an able chairman at its head would become the
most important in the Senate. Senator Morton
seeing this will probably improve the opportunity
TO secure the position which will make him nomi-
nally the leader of the Senate.

G;tle discussed at either of the Cabinet meetings
The President does not consider it necessary 10 act
immediately on this question and desires time tn eX-
anime il in all its bearings, that whatever may be
done shall be well considered The question OF hold
ing new elections in Louisiana and South Carolina
was not considered at ALL 1t has been determined,
however, 10 Withdraw the troops from the State
Uouses in New Orleans and Columbia soon as the

If was announced at the Cabinet meeting this
evening that Mr.. Tyner had concluded TO accept the

NEW ELECTIONS OPPOsED-MR. ROBERTSON PROTESTS.
GENERAL PRESS DISPATCH

GENERAL PRESS DIsTATCEI
Ex-senator Robertson of South Carolina, accom-
panied by ex-Congressman Wallace called on the
President today protesting against Senator Pattcr-
sons proposition for election, on the grOunG
that the substantial or industrial interests of South
Carolina would be materially damaged by such elcc-
ton 1t was further stated to the President that
none of the Republican members of that State had
been consulted on the subject and therefore 1t
in the nature of an Independent proposition OH the
part of Senator Patterson, stimulated. perhaps, by
Gov Chamberlain. Mr.. Robertson stated that the
solution of the South Carolina complications could
be accomplished by more simple means, namely, the
withdrawal OF troops from the state Capitol, when
the people themselves would adjust the difficulty
The President received MesSrS. Robertson and " al
lace courtcously, and as they are natives OF the
State said they would at all times be welcome.
1t can positively be stated that the Democrats Of
both Louisiana and South Carolina are opposed to
new GubcrnatOrial election i'll those States, and that
the President Will not encourage such election I'M
less with the consent of both parties. He will, how
ever, receive from representative men Of both the
Democratic and Republican parties any suggestions
in writing they have to make upon the subject with
view to pacfcation in those States and it can
further he as positively said that the Administration
has not yet matured any plan, but viii act with due
deliJeIation in view Of the importance OF the subject
presented.

CONSERVATIVES LOOK FOR WITHDRAWAL OF THE
TROOPS IN LOUIsANA-MR. HAYES DOES NOT
LIKE NEW ELECTION.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUsEl
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Gov. Penn and other
prominent Louisiana conservatives now here expect
that after the adjournment of the Senate the Prcsl-
dent will Immediately order the troops withdrawn
from the State House IN New-Orleaus. They say
that so far as they have been able to ascertain the
sentiments Of the several members of the Cabinet
there will be no dissenting voice to such a policy.
/ he theory of the conservatives is that upon the
withdrawal of the troops the adherents OF MI.
Packard will Immediately abandon him, and that
the entire Packard State Government viii
disappear. Then the legally elected members of
both the Packard and Nichols Legislatures will as
Senlblc and make new Legislature, i'll the Senate
Of which there will be one Democratic majority,
while in the House there will be tie. This Lees-
lature will then elect one Republican and one Con-
scrvative to the United States Senate aud then the
difficulties of the Louisiana situation will disappear
Mr.. Pinchback had another interview with the
President to-day. i'll which he urged the abandon
mcnt of Packard and said that the negroes really
desire il as much as the white Conservatives. Mr..
Piuchback seems to be entirely identified with the
Democratic case.
As to the project for a new election the President
said TO friend this afternoon that he had not even
entertained the plan, although he had heard every
thing that had been said in favor Of it. The infer
ence from the Presidents conversation was that "A
new election instead of aIlaying public passion and
settling the disturbed questions, wonid tend rather
TO continue the present agitation. The Louisiana
people are especially opposed to it, as they
say that it would occur in the midst of
planting season, and would practically destroy
another business year. The President said that he
had no power in tie matter of a new election that
Congress bad no jurisdiction over it, and he did not
see that he could give the scheme his approval, un-
less it should be cordially agreed to by both parties
in the two States. This is not and cannot be the
case,
