THE SOUTHERN POLICY.

RETURNING REASON AT THE WHITE ROUSE
Chicago, Nov. l3.-The Journaps WASH
ington special says the National Republican
published to-day what purports to be an
interview with President Hayes, indicating
a new departure on the part Of the adminis-
tration regarding southern affairs, or rather
IN abandonment Of the policy pursued to-
wards the souh since President Hayes has
occupied the executive chair. This alleged
interview is the sensation in political circles
aud attracts very general attention, but very
many republicans are not disposed to credit
ito authenticity. Your correspondent has
taken steps to ascertain its truthfulness
and has high authority for
saying that, while it is not probable that
any such interview occurred, the supposed
interview has probably given correctly the
general views Of the administration. 1t is
quite certain that the president has never
admitted that his southern policy Was fail
ure. He has never regarded it as an ex-
pertinent. 1t was the performance of what
he regarded as his plain duty and the result
of it has been, in his opinion, better for the
country than any other course would have
been.

SAD ACCIDENT.
VIM. Pearcy shoots HImqeIf in Bed
"A Probably PRtaI wound.

VIII Eearcy HnOOto HtmaeiI IN be0
"A Probably PataI wound.
About s o'clock this morning William
Psarcy, aged t~Wenty.four. accidentally
shot himself at the residence of bis
mother, Mrs. Marsh, who lives at No. l6
Pontotoe street. The young man had
been somewhat unwell for two or three
days. This morning his mother sent a
servant to his room on the second floor
to ask if he would have some coffee.
Pearey sent word that he would dress
and come down in a few minutes to
breakfast. Hardly had the servant re.
turned when the report of a pistol was
heard. Mrs. Marsh and her daughters
rushed up stairs and into the room where
they were Mortified to discover young
Pearcy's shirt bosom on fire aad a pistol
lying by the side of the bed. They i'm
mediately extinguished the Gre, and saw
that the young man was wounded
in the breast. DIR. Vance was
at once summoned and proceeded to sx-
anime the wound, which is of a danger
Gus character and will most likely pro-
duce death. The bullet pierced the
young mans breast about an inch above
the nipple and buried itself somewhere
near the heart. Nc. Pearcy, though so
badly wounded, was not excited, but
spoke in a cool msnne relative to his
injury, and showed DR.. Vance how the
accident occurred. He says that he
took the pistol from under the pillow
and thought it was but half cooked. The
pistol, however, was at full cock, and &C.
.cidentally fred with the above result.
The shooting, so far as can be ascer.
tanned, was accidental.
