To Hon. d. T. Corbin:
have just had a long interview with Haskell, who
brings letters to me from Stanley Matthews and Mr.

A Chicago Tribune special of the 9Th says in
reference to this telegram president Hayes
says that Stanley Matthews had no authority to

no knowledge of the letter, and did not author
ize it."

Washington special to Western journal
says: Mr.. Hayes reiterated that he should
make no new appointments except in cases
where commissions have expired that is, if the
present incumbents are giving satisfaction.
There have been but very few personal applica-
tons here from the West and Northwest. Col.
Rogers, the Presidents Private Secretary,
said that he II had about 800
applications on hand from the West
and Northwest. These applications are for
minor Offices, mainly clerkships For the bene-
fit of many who propose to apply for office it
may be stated that not single one of these
applications will be considered by Mr.. Hayes
personally. They will be referred to their ap-
propriate department for the Cabinet Secreta-
ries and their subordinates to look after. This
will cause complete revolution in office
getting and office-seeking, as Mr.. Hayes pres
ent orders are that no man shall be dismissed
from office for purely political reasons.

The Presidents Reply to Colored
Delegation.

A delegation of colored South Caro-

The delegation consisted of James Fl.
Rainey, Representative Of the First Con-
gressional district the Hon. r. FL. Cain,
Representative of the Second district
the Hon. Robert Smalls, Representative
of the Fifth district the Hon. J. J.
Wright, Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court; F. L. Cardozo, Treasurer of
South Carolina FL. J. Maxwell, State
Senator and Col. T. J. Winton. The
President spoke with perfect frankness,
stating that he desired to remove any an
tagonism existing between the races, es-
pecially the political differences resting
upon the color line, SO that colored men
and Republicans might not need the pro-
lection Of the army. He stated that the
use of a military force in civil affairs was
repugnant to the genius of American in
situations, and should be dispensed with
it 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 Pres
ident stated that with regard to the
peculiar difficulties at present existing In
South Carolina, concerning which the
delegation expressed great anxiety, he
proposed to preserve the status quo left
by his predecessor, and to examine the
condition of affairs carefully and dellb-
erately before he acted The delegation
then withdrew, well satisfied with the IN
terview.- Washington telegram.

in England became the subject of con-
