Southern democrats are seriously alarmed
by tho favorable reception which the pro-
posed new election in the South meets IN
administration circles. Gen. Butler of
South Carolina and Mr.. Penn of Louisiana
had an interview with President HAYES
yesterday, and entered protest. The
Presidents utterances were regarded as
favorable. Hayes's plan OF action is ma
turing. He proposes first to endeayor to
accomplish o compromise of matters by
personal negotiations with representatives
OF the rival state governments now here.
If this fails. he will send a commission
south, and If this proves abortive will
withdraw the troops.

issued by Grant to Moses Tyler, as collec-

come effective. The appointment is con-
sequently suspended The case attracts
attention, as the commission of Payne,
who succeeds Marshal Fiske on the 18th,
was signed in the same way by Grant and
