THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.
why Does MIR. Hayes Permit His Decision
10 Drag7
New York Heraid.1

The noble, fnagnanimous and truly
sagacious declarations OF the inaugural
address have been responded to by the
country, almost without distinction ot
party. with such unequivocal tokens Of
warm approval that we are puzzled at
the Presidents hesitation to do with
reasonable promptitude what the coun-
try understood him to promise. Presi.
dent Hayes offered In his inaugural
what seemed a sufficiently explicit
pledge TO sustain local aelf.government
tended this cheering pledge to apply to
Louisiana and South Carolina, 1t
could have had no meaning
at all, because the other fourteen
Southern States are In secure possession
OF all the rights OF self-goyernment.
OF course the declarations In tho inaug-
ural had no reference to the other four
teen, and therefore, Of course, they
looked merely to the two States afflicted
with dual governments. unless they
were utterly Idle aud irrelevant. But
what possible meaning could the inaug-
uraI declarations In favor OF local SELF
two afflicted and distracted States IL 1t
was then q doubtful question In the
Presidents mind whether he would
not, after all, recognize Packard and
Chamberlain as lawful Cover
nors ALI the world knows that
these two worthless cannot maintain
even the semblance OF authority with
out the support Of Federal troops. IL
the soldiers were withdrawn and things
left to take their course, Packard and
Chamberlain would not make even q
pretence of gubernatorial authority for
forty-eight hours. There would be no
disturbance of the peace there would
be no necessity for the real State
governments to make display OF
force; Packard and Chamberlain, as
soon as the Federal troops were
withdrawn, "would fold their ten is
like the Arabs and silently steal
away" No intelligent man who Is po-
litically sane and has watched the Sit
uation In the South can have any sort OF
doubt that the Packard and Chamber
lain governments would dissolve like
the baseless fabric OF q vision and van
ish into thin air as soon as the Federal
authority should declare that it would
no longer protect them. This being so
evident we, cannot understand the hest
tation OF President Hayes In making
good the noble assurances Of his inau-
gural address.

Solemn looking Detroiter, dressed as

"Found 1t In the lumber pile near the
junction this morning. I see from the
marks that it belongs to you. Had you
missed it?"
"Well- ahem-well-" coughs the
grocer.

"Yes-ahem-needn't let this get into

The chest was hidden under the coun-
ter till leisure moment arrived, and
then the grocer opens it in search OF
fifty pounds Of Oolong, Japan or best
green. The contents consisted OF saw
dust-nice, clean saw dust OF the highest
workmanship. 1t was only a dollar
swindle; and why did that grocer kick
the chest across the store, slam the
stove around, and yell to his meek faced
clerk:
"Boy, I'm good mind to discharge

A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
A Course Of Action ON the Southern
question Adopted.
Especial TO Nov York World. ]


Especial TO Nov York World.I
WASHINGTON, March 14.--An informal
conference OF Southern Senators and
Others from that section was held ut
Willard's Hotel tonight at the rooms
OF Gen. Gordon. The general situation
as concerns the South was very fully dis
cussed. Tt was the sentiment OF those
present that, as a section. the South
should abstain from any active attempt
to influence the course Of the Admins
tration, and that 1t was the best policy for
the Southern Senators to take no part In
that direction, but leave events to shape
themselves as finally determined by
the Administration after consultation
with those who are politically allied
with 1t. This, OF course, is not to pre-
clude the Southern Senators from CIV
ing such information as may be neces-
sary, or to use their good Offices In an
unobtrusive way to secure such action
as Is fair and just to the South and to
the people OF South Carolina and Lou
isiana more particularly. This deter
mination was arrived at because 1t was
thought the best policy to avoid any al
liances which may prove entangling In
the future. The Southern Senators will
also favor the earliest possible adjourn
ment of the Senate and will go home,
leaving everything in the hands Of the
President,

THE PARIS EXPOSITION OF ISIS.
A Delegation Visits the rresident-The
Union to be Represented.
Especial to the World.l

WASHINGTON, March ia delegation
headed by Nathan Appleton, OF Boston,
waited upon the President to-day, and
subsequently upon the Secretary of
State, with regard to the representation
Of this government at the Paris EXPOSE
ton next year. Congress having failed
to appropriate the $500. 900 proposed for
this object, this. delegation intend
to raise a sufficient amount to in
sure the recognition OF the United
States at the Exposition. While the
President has no authority of law to de-
signate any one as commissioner, 1t is
not improbable, in the absence of legis-
lation, that he will request certain gen.
tlemen to represent the United States
unofficially. 1t was proposed by the
delegation to open in Washington, Phil
adelphia and New York offices in con-
nection with the Exposition. The State
Of Connecticut has already provided for
a commission, and it is probable that
other. States will follow its example.
Should there be an extra session OF
Congress, the President will communi-
cate with 1t in regard to the Exposition,
and ask that official representation to
it be authorized.

MORTON sURRENDERs.
fIe Resigns the BIOOdy.shirt for the
Foreign Relations Chairmansllip.

Especial Dispatch to the Gazette.l
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The resigna-
ton of Senator Cameron leaves vacan-
cy at the head OF the Committee on For
eign Relations which would fall natu-
rally to Mr.. Morton as second on the
committee, should he not prefer to re-
tain his post at the head of the Privileges
and Elections Committee, commonly
called the returning board of the Senate.
It 10 learned to-day that Morton has de-
termined to succeed Simon on the For
eign Affairs, and withdraw entirely from
all further participation In the business
of contested elections. This step on
his part Is open to but one con.
struction, and means that the
President has gained another vic.
tory over the enemies OF his South
ern policy. No one in the Senate was
more opposed to any Cancellation than
Morton, and his position as chairman
of privileges and elections would have
given him unusual opportunities for
antagonizing the administration on the
credentials of Southern Senators if he
had felt disposed to make use Of them.
Since the appointment Of the Cabinet.
however, he has been weakening in his
opposition very decidedly, and, aside
from not offering any objection to the
confirmation, he has gone out OF his
way to extend the olive branch to rep
resentatiye Southerners. His room In
the Ebbitt House is not far from the
one occupied by Postmaster Gene raj
Key. Senator Morton has had several
earnest chats with the Southern mem
Der Of the Cabinet within several
days, and a number of his intimate
friends express themselves aston
ished to see with what energy
he now comes out as a SUP
porter and defender Of the new ad-
ministration. He speaks in the highest
terms OF Judge Key, and has even been
heard to say few favorable things oil
the new policy toward the South. liz
short, he has considered 1t policy to
make an unconditional surrender, and
announce himself unreservedIy on the
side of the ministration. It ii Iii Or,
