New YORK, Feb. l3.-The Worlds
Washington special says that President
Hayes letter is not long but like all
his state papers, it is direct, pointed
and unequivocal, and shows beyond all
questions his determination not to sit
still and allow men whom he believes
to DO innocent to be outraged and op-
pressed, as he thinks the members of
the Returning Board are. The letter
would probably have been published
except for the fact that it is being re-
vised and moro snap is being put into
it. Attorney General Devens will act
very promptly in this matter He has
never looked upon the Southern policy

questionable confidence tina: has been
felt by the President, and some other

President looks for advice contemplate
the possibilite of military interference
under any circumstances, but he has
looked upon The overtures of the Prcsi-
dent to the South as in some degree ex-
perimental and not to be persisted in
unless the South showes itself ready to
reciprocate and meet the President

which steps can be taken to have the
proceedings of Judge Whittaker's court
reviewed, and one of these Devens will
recommend to the President to-
morrow. The President has spoken
without reserve on this subject to- day
to every one who has approached him.

has shown no impotence or vindict-
iveness, but he has evinced deep feel
ing which some describe as sense of
injury; aud defamation that will
not be shaken to act with promptness
and decision. No man in the country
believes more implicitly in the law
fulncss of all the returnius boards pro-
ceedings than the President. He thinks
the members of it did their duty in
counting the vote of louisiana. con-
scienticusly and fearlcssly.
