The President on south Carolina
Affairs,

WASHINGTON, March "a delegation
of eolored South Carolinlsps waited on
the President to-day. The delegation
consisted OF j. H. Rainey, Representa-
tive from the First Congressional DIS
trlct; Hon. Z. Il. Cain, Representative
from the Second district; Hon. Robert
Smslls, Representative from the Fifth
district; Hon. j. j. Wright, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court; F. L. Car
dozo, Treasurer OF South Carolina; II. j.
Maxwell, State Senator, and Colonel T.
j. Minton. The President spoke with
perfect frankness, stating that he desired
TO remove the antagonism existing be-
tween the races, especially the political
differences resting on. the color line, SO
that the colored men and Republicans
might not need the protection of the
army. He stated that the use of mill
tary force in civil affairs was repugnant
to the genius of American institutions
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 President stated that with regard to
the peculiar difficulties at present exist
ing in South Carolina, concerning which
the delegation expressed great anxiety,
he proposed to preserve the statu quo lett
by his predecessor, and to examine the
condition of affairs carefully and delib-
erately before he acted. The delegation
then retired, well satisfied with the in
terview.

Remarkable Submarine Volcano.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9-The Hon
olulu Gazette of February 2S contains an
account of a remarkable submarine vol.
cano outbreak in Keslekeaksnan bay,
near the entrance to the harbor. The
natives report that the eruption occurred
at 8 o'clock on the morning OF the
oath ult., appearing like lnnumcrs.
BILE red, blue and green lights.
In the afternoon several boats visited II,
cruising over the most active part where
the water was ia u state OF peculiarly
active boiling, and appearing as if pas
sing over rapids or very much ike the
water at He'll Gate, New York. Blocks
of lava two feet square came up from
below, frequently striking and jarring
the boats. AS the lava was quite soft no
harm was done. Nearly all the pieces
on reaching the surface were red not,
emitting stes m and gas strongly sulphur
Gus. A rumbling noise was heard like
that of rocks in freshet, caused no
doubt by the eruption of lava from the
submarine orator, which is supposed by
some crack or line of rupture extend
ing at least mile from the shore. An
other rupture, doubtless u continuation
of the submarine tissure, was traced in
land from the shore nearly three miles,
varying in width from few inches to
three feet In some places the water
vas seen pouring down into the abyss
below. A shock of earthquake was felt
by those living at koows and kell
during the night of the eruption, which
must have preceded the outbreak.
1t was quite severe, but no damage is
reported.

TrRin Thieves Capiured.

ST.. LOUIS, March 9.-The Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad Company has for
the past two years suffered severely from
the depredations of train thieves. The
robberies have mostly been committed at
or near Flora, Ill, but no clue to the
guilty parties could be found. A few
nights ago, however, City Marshal
Witherspoon and a local freight agent
named Fry, overheard plan to
rob u freight train. The Marshal called
to his aid number o. reliable citizens,
who were disposed OF in such manner
that the thieves after robbing the train
were traced to an old house south of the
depot, which was subsequently surround
ed, and five men giving their names as
John w. Workman, Robert Overton,
G. OrertoH, Absalom Yates and Dan
Ridge were captured and locked up. An
examination of the house revealed
large amount of stolen goods.
There was also found COM
plete outfit for making counterfeit
nickels, ten and twenty cent pieces and
half dollars. Dan Ridge has intnsted
desire to turn States evidence, and II
the authorities will be easy with him be
will give the names O. about thirty men
who are members of the gang. Work
man is leader of the band, aud has long
been considered suspicious character.

c.b,p.t Hom,..,ions Referred.

WARRINGTON, March 9.-The e1ecu-
tive session of the Senate lasted about
twenty minutes. The cabinet nominations
were referred to the committees as fol-
lows: That OF Mr.. Schurz to the Commit.
tee on Finance, Mr.. Dennis to the JUDI
ciary Committee, Mr.. Merary to the
Committee on Military Affairs, Mr..
Thompson to the Committee on Naval
affairs, and MI. Kee to the Committee
on Post offices and Post Roads. A brief
discussion took place upon adjournfng
until Monday. A motion to that effect,
advocated by Mr.. Cameron of Penn
sylvania, and opposed by Mr.. Sargent
and others, was negativedi IA, againt ID.
Immediately after the nominations
were referred, the principal opponents Of
their confirmation made efforts, Under
the leadership of Mr.. Cameron of Penn
sylvania, to secure adjournment until
Monday. These efforts were resisted Oh
the ground that the committees would
have ample time to report by tomorrow.
After brief and dissultory dlscussioH
q vote was taken on the motion submis-
ted by Mr.. Sargent to adjourn till moon
tomorrow, and it was carried-yeas A
nays ii. Only FIVE or six votes in the
negative were cast by Democrats, and
the indications are that most OF
the Democratic Senators will vote TO
confirm all pending nominations, Of at
least that there will be no organized at
tempt by the minority to break the
quorum, or otherwise impede favorable
action by dIlstory motions.
The Finance, Judiciary, Military
Affairs and Naval Affairs Committees
held q meeting this afternoon, and au-
thorized their respective chairmen to re-
port back the nominations of Messrs.
Schurz, Deven, McCreary and Thomp-
son tomorrow, with recommendation
in each case for confirmation. The Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations and Com.
mlttee on Postofices and Post Roads
have not yet met for action on the noml.
nations of Evarts and Key, but will take
them up tomorrow morning. AS Sen
ators Cameron of Pennsylvania, Conk'
ling and Morton are members OF the
committee which has Evarts' nomination
in charge, and are known TO regard 1t
with disfavor, there may be some delay
in its being reported. Keys nomination
will probably be reported to morrow
with those upon which favorable action
was taken by the committee to-day.

Letter from Ex-Governor Packard.

NEW ORLEANS, March 9.-The follow
in letter is addressed to the editor OF the
Cincinnati Commercial:
SIR:-In an editorial in the CONNER
ciaL of tho 7th, you state that the act of
the Commission has no bearing whatever
upon the legitimacy of the Packard gov
ernment, unless il can be proven that as
matter of fact more votes were cast for
Packard than for the Republican cleo
tors who were certified by the Returning
Board. The Returning Board certified
to votes for electors as follows:
VIM. p. Kellogg, 1915; j. II. Rurch,
9l,l27; Peter Joseph, 74,Ol4; L. A.
Sheldon. 74,027; Morris Marks, 74,4lS;
A. B. Levisse, 740O3; NJ. Il. Brewster,
74,Ol7; Oscar Jotfrien, 1896. My vote
for Governor, as certified to by the Re-
turning Board, laid by the Secretary OF
State before the General Assembly, and
counted by that body, was as follows:
Staphen b. Packard, 74,624. The votes,
rs opened before the Returning Bosrd,
and certified to by the Democratic State
Central Committee, we're as follows:
Republican electors, VIM. z. Kellogg,
77,iS4; j. H. Burch, 77,1R; Peter 10
seph, 749l3; l.. A. Sheldon, 1902;
Morris Marks, 1920; A. B. Le'
vissee, 1905; y. Ii. Brewster,
75,457; Oscar Johrien, 1858, and
for Governor as follows: S. b. Packard
76477. This proves that l received 62l
more votes than the lowest eleetor as re-
turned by the Returning Board, and
1916 more votes than the lowest elector
as certified by the Democratic commit
tee. The General Assembly had more
than a quorum OF the returned mem.
bers in both houses when the vote
for me was csnvassed and declared &C

last, before the expiration OF Gov. kel-
logg's term. This statement is made to
correct an erroneous impression which
appears to prevail with some Northern
papers, that ran behind the Republican
electoral ticket. If shot guns and vio.

BLAINE tells HAYRs IN pointeo ian'
gu.ge, that ii PACKARD is not the law
full Gov ernor of Louisiana, he il usur
per IN the Presidential chair; because
PACKARD received thousand more
votes than did the HAYES electors in that
state.
This is true, and yet We insist that
PACKARD is not the lawful Governor OF
Louisiana and that it is the duty of the
Democratic Senators to force HAYES
to acknowledge the fact With
the dissensions among the Radical
Senators that are developing,
the Democrats will have the power Of
confirming or rejecting Mr.. HAYES
Cabinet. And they should exercise that
power to force HAYES recognition of
both. the HAMPTON and NICHOLS gov
ernments in their respective States.
HAYES acknowledgement of his own
llligetimacy does not make him
any the less legitimate than
he otherwise would be. HAYES
knows, the Senate knows, and all the
world knows that HAYES is not Presi-
dent by the choice of the people-thst
ha is only President by sufferance-then
why attempt any fiction on the subjectf
If the people OF the United States toll
crate usurpcr IN the Presidential chair,
that is no reason why the people of Lou
isians shall longer tolerate usurper IN
their Gubernatorisl chair-or that South
Carolina should be ruled by man the
people of that State refused to elect.
