New York Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Persons of President Hayes personal
coterie, in this city, say that the recent news
of his abandoning the non-interference
policy in the South is "a misinterpretation
of his ayowal to have the vioiators of the
election laws prosecuted in the federal
courts and sent to the psnitentiary. He
proposes to put on foot a series of Ku- Klux
prosecutions, without the military repressive
measures once adopted by Grant before the
indictments. Governor Warmoth, of Louisi-
ana, whose friend George A. Sheridan is
close to the President, said on tie subject az
follows:
hayes is right, and consistent, too In
dIgnant. but determined to punish in tho
lawful way, he will be aided by a white
publlc sentiment. The citizens party in
New Orleans has been cheated as we'll as the
hepubhcans, and want satisfaction The
judges OF the federal courts there are de.
clded men, acd both Northerners. Judge
Woods was an Ohio Colonel of volunteers,
and Judge Billings is from Massachusetts,.
Inc judges pay the commissioners who will
select the juries to try the offenders. The
District Attorney, Albert Leonard, is ma
tive, an ex-member of the white league and
ball-dozer; but he ran for Office as a Re-
publican up in Caddo parish, and they count
ed him out, too, so that he is mad as a
hornet. Backed by considerable sentiment
In New Orleans, these officers will prosecute
without fear or favor the heads of the late
election performance, and 1 have no doubt
will send some of them to the penitentiary.
1.-The election was sweeping outrage. In
Iensas parish there had never been scandal.
The public funds had never been stolen, and
the credit of the parish obligations was at a
premium. There were $500 blacks there,
and 800 whites. Many of the best whites
were Republicans, yet by bringing in armed
militia companies from Mississippi and kill
Ing 100 negroes, the parish is counted Demo-
cratic by 2.5O0 votes. Only one white man
out of fifteen is elected to til, legislature,
and that 10 myself. They cut my majority
down to one-fifth, but knew that I would
not stand counting out. Hayes, no doubt,
means to put the whole legal machinery to
work to punish these people; and if he fails,
he can, with public opinion, in the campaign
| of $780, recall the army from the plains and
concentrate it in those bull dozed States.'
''The coming Congress-" continued War
moth, twill serve loud notice On the South,
and in 1880 you will see the biggest bloody
shirt campaign we have over had in this
country. The American people are not
going to submit to see a President chosen by
rebels, numbering and cheating through the
length and breadth OF whole States like
Louisiana and South Carolina Nor will
Hayes allow it to be done. These legal pro-
ceedings, begun two years before the Presi-
Dental election, mean that at the proper
time he is going to interpose the authority
of the United States to prevent such rape
of the suffrage. Governor Nichols is good
man, but from the country parishes. Who
does not see that they are running over him
while they are using him? The Democratic
| leaders in the State are Major Burke. the
chief beneficiary of this business and FitZ-
| patrick, an Irish boy, brought up around
New Orleans. When Nichols wes elected
the Democrats felt so weak that they had to
| put up men of character; but as soon as they
| got possession the lower element threw off
| the resp, ctable element, and have elected the
| lowest class of officials. SO bad were their
| nominations that in New Orleans, where
they have $4,000 Democratic majority, the
Democratic ticket only got plurality this
year, and that by cheating count, which
has made the citizens ticket supporters moro
incensed than the Republicans"
Warmoth thought that Eustis would BIO
defeated for reelection to the United States
Senate, and Duncan F. Kenner get his place.
