The New Policy

WAsHGNGToN, March l0.-1l. 30 p.
THE first meeting of lhcnew Cab
met will he held on Tuesday of next
week. when it is expected that the
initial discussion Of the Southern poll
cy of the Administration will be had,
but it is not probable that it will pro-
ceen far enough to indicate just what
course the President will pursue in
solving the problem Of the dual Gov
ernments in South Carolina and Lou
isianR. 1t will take the new Attor-
uey-General some days to make up a
full statement of the case of both
States, as he will no doubt present
new features and facts and discard
altogether the data upon which Mr..
Taft relied for manufacturing state
ments to present to President Grant
and his Cabinet advisers
All the information Mr.. Taft even
cared to have on the subject was fur
nished by Marshal PItkin and District
Attorney Beckwith, ut New Orleans,
and by District Attorney COrbin, at
Columbia. aud John Patterson, in
| Washington, In order to reach n fair
decision in these cases the President
must have correct information, and
he has taken the proper course to OBJ
! tain it, and that is by consulting with
! the gentlemen of both parties in South
Carolina and Louisiana.
Secretary Shermon took the oath OF
Office this afternoon. Other mOmbers
of the new Cabinet will be sworn in
and take charge of their several de-
partments on Monday morning.

The bill to incorporate the town
CT Durkeville was called mp in the
House last Friday. There was OPP
position, but no one could tell why,
until Ascher Scott, the colored
delegate, announced that the object
was to squelch the snack vending
business. That was enough. The
House almost unanimously voted
to dismiss the bill. Nearly every
member expects to pass BurkevillC

[From the Richmond Wing ]
Vie New Cabinet.

The Cabinet sent in by the Presi-
dent for confirmation is decidedly an
improvement upon anything Gen.
GRANT has given us, With the eX-
CeptiOn of JOHN SHERMAN, the
gentlemen named are about as little
obnoxious to Mr.. HAYES political OPP
ponents as any they could have hoped
he would have selected. EVARTS,
Secretary of State. is a man of Conce-
ed great ability and conservative in
his views; SHERMAN. Secretary of the
Treasury, does not lack ability, but he
is offensive as an extreme partisan and
an endOrser Of WELLS and the Louis
lana returning board thieves as men
of character. His appointment as the
fast personal friend of the Presi-
dent is, perhaps, natural; SCHURz, the
Secretary of the Interior, is well
known to the country as ali orator and
a scholar. He was supporter OF
| GREELEY in '72, and may be relied
upon as an opponent of the Radical
element of his party. MCCRARY is q

I met yesterday an old friend. Gen.
p. b. Hawkins, of Lousburg, n. G.
My readers in the upper end of the
county will remember his connection
during the war with large wood and
salt contracts at Emory and SaItville.
There was no stranger thrown in our
midst 10y the upheaval Of the war who
was more esteemed and respected. He
knew me at a glance, and his appear
ance endorses the affirmation that the
world has gone well with him. was
delighted to meet and talk over old
matters with him, for he is one Of ma
ture's noblemen. OF all my acquaint-
ces he is one OF the number whom l
have never even for a season forgotten.
Many a time have l wished that
Providence might throw us again to-
gother. He tells me that he had a
long private aud confidential inter
view with President Hayes yesterday
a week ago. He says Hayes means
business, and intends that the South
shall be on her feet again. Carpet
baggers and the inferior elements
must take a back seat and respectable
and acceptable officers must come to
the front. | was glad to hear him say
that Hayes intends to show Southern
people that he appreciates them and
has the very kindlest feeling fol
them. l do not understand that he
means to put his foot on the respecta
bic class of Southern Republicans. -
On the contrary, he means no sucl
thing. But | do understand that h'
means republicans who lack standing
at home shall not have it conferred OF
them at Washington, and rs between
such and respectable conservatives ant
democrats his sympathies will be will
the latter. think | can see that al
effort will be made to have the Soutl
place itself in such an attitude tina
both parties at the north can bid 70
its support. II such scheme coul
work it would result in Southern SUP
port being knocked off to the highes
bidder. How far it may succeed is ye
to be seen.

THE LAST OF TABLE RoCK.-On the 24th
 ultimo the last of what was known as Ia ble Rock at Niagara, broke off and fell in- to the rIver. The mass weighed nearly six tons, and up to 1876 over four thousand names of visitors had been carved upon it.
 The part which fell on the 25th composed only half the original rock. the rest hay ing fallen in. On Saturday, January l., 1929, surface of the rock supposed to be the size of half an acre, forming the bed of Maiden Walk, broke loose, and was pre- cip-- ltated into the chasm below. The crash was heard for distance of five miles, and the effects ID the immediate neighborhood resembled the shock of an earthquake. The water running under the bank is supposed to have caused the fall of the 24th, and the shock when the rock struck the water was distinctly felt at distance of three miles from the fall. Several of the trees which stood on the rock are now seen standing in the river a3 erect as when in their original places on the rock. Where the rock shelved off from the bank at distance of twenty feet from the top, can be seen the root of tree estimated to be two feet in diameter. It attracts co nsiderable atten' don.-SyrGcuse Standard.
