The Presidents Reply to a COlored
Delegation.

A delegation of colored South Caro-
linians waited upon President Hayes.
The delegation consisted of James II.
Rainey, Representative of the First Con-
gressiOnal district the Hon. r. II. Cain,
Representative of the Second district
the Hon. Robert Smalls, Representative
of the Fifth district; the Hon. j. j..
Wright, Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court; f. l.. Cardozo, Treasurer of
South Carolina H. j. Maxwell, State
Senator; and Col. T. j. Winton. The
President spoke with perfect frankness,
stating that he desired to remove any am
tagonism existing between the races, es-
pecially the political differences resting
upon the color line, so that colored men
and Republicans might not need the pro-
lection of the army. He stated that the
use of a military force in civil affairs WAS
repugnant to the genius of American in
stitutions, and should be dispensed with
If possible. He, however, recognized
the necessity Of protection at present
until that feeling of respect
for the rights of political
opponents should be entertained by
the Democrats of the South. The Pres
ident stated that with regard to the
peculiar difficulties at present existing in
South Carolina, concerning which the
delegation expressed great anxiety. he
proposed to preserve the status quo left
by his predecessor, and to examine the
condition of affairs carefully and delib-
erately before he acted. The delegation
then withdrew, well satisfied with the in
terview.- Washington telegram.

The number of office-seekers i'm Wash

has congregated here at the beginning of
a new administration at any time within
the memory of the Oldest politicians
This remark does not of course apply to
the beginning of Gen. Grants second adj
ministration in 1878, nor to the reinaug-
uration of Lincoln in 1866. On neither
of these occasions was there a real change
in the administration. Several hundred
prominent politicians from Ohio, half as
many from New York city and State, and
a score or two from each of several other
States in the East and West came to
Washington to witness the inauguration,
and part of them have remained i'll the
hope that some lucrative Office will be
offered them. A gentleman from Ohio
remarked to-day that a sufficient number
of politicians from his State to fill all the
foreign missions of the United States.
were here, each one expecting, on account
of his personal friendship for President
Hayes, to be sent abroad for the next
four years. A considerable proportion
OF the candidates are editors of newspa-
pers in various parts of the State, who
have supported Hayes in his campaign
for the Governorship and in the late
Presidential contest The hopes of very
few of these men will be realized The
changes of public Offices at present will
not be numerous, and the appointments
that are made will be simply to fill va
