New YORK, March %.
The President IN AN interview to-day
said that for the last eight years there
had been u great degree of reaction,
retrogressiOn, lawlessness, violence
and murder in the South, and e>pa-
cially in Louisiana, where there were
50 many mixed races that violence re-
suited almost spontaneously; thai the
worst thing that could happen to the
South would be the success of the
Democratic party; that either the few
troops that are there should tie taken
away or more put on duty; that Pack
ards case had greatly improved to-
day, judging from the dispatches he
had seen, showing \ weakening of the
Nichols forces; that ii Packard's case
continued to improve the Commission
to be- appointed would see /" it and so
report, which would simplify matters
very much: that the Democratic party
of the South had hetter lie broken up,
if possible, and the color line obliter
at+d by a new and better organization
of the Republican party; that the men
who were in The White League aud
Kuklux organizations were lawless
ana ignorant. and not respectable and
intelligent; that out of the better class
a valuable addition 10 the R,publican
party in the South needs TO be made,
and he thinks it a be; and that at all
events it would be we'll to try and put
an end to all disorder in the South by
removing its cause, the color line, and,
at all events, he would hole himself
ready in case these views were found
leading him in the wrong direction to
change them speedily. The President
continued; The freedmen will find me
their FREUD, but they need other friends
from among those who are now re-.
garded as their enemies because of the
race line. The President expressed
himself in terms of great charity tor
the South, and yet he vas emphatic in
his declaration that there should he
law and order in that section. The
P. esident further said, in no event
would the troops be Withdrawn, but
that on the contrary, Grants last order
respecting the stdtu quo would be
maintained until the Commission re-
turned and reported and fixed the pol
icy which should he agreed upon.
The President minated If Packard
was not acknowledged Nichols would
not be, but probably a new election
would be held.
WASHINGTON, March %.
The impression generally preva-
lent this afternoon that as n result
of the Cabinet conference all executive
order for the withdral of troops from
South Carolina or some other action
distinctly favorable to the Hampton
government may BIZ shortly expected,
fails to obtain official confirmation
this evening. The first seems TO BE-
that although two sessions of the Cab
met were held to day on this subject
the discussion afforded no reliable in
dications as to the ultimate decision
that would be reached, and it is posi-
lively known that 10 official action
WAS taken decisive of either the with.
drawal of the troops or temporary ref
creme OF the subjart to a commission.
All questions involved went over tor
possible decision a. morrow. 1t is.
however, confidently stated by a gen
ileman here in Hampton's interest
that the Cabinet are unanimous against
sending a commission to South Caro-
lima. ard that a majority have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of with
the troops from any dire;t
support Ct Chamherlain's govern ment.
This is understood to be all Hampton
asks. In contradiction of an impress
sion that Governor Hampton intended
coming to Washington, he telegraphs
that he will come il ths President de-
sires it.
