to throw discredt upon the article which
we published on Wednesday as an inter

say that all the material statements con.
tanned therein were from the lips of the
President In repeated conversations, no,
only with one of the editors of The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN, but with other gen.
tlemen whose statements would be taken
with as much confidence as those of the
journals which essay to crticise, because
they did not "sliare in the porl: -. e., get
tho news. That is what's the matter with
them, and that accounts for the milk In the

explanation controvertiug any Of the ma.
terial statements-whichh he will not do fol
the simple reason that they are justified by

us pleasure to verify them in a manner al.

THE interview with President HAYES

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN regarding the
Southern situation has caused great deal
of anxiety in the ranks of the Opposition.
Repeated attempts have been made to OBJ

the assertions embraced therein that the
laws will be vigorously executed for the
purpose Of Furnishing the bull-dozers In
Louisiana and South Carolina, especially,
who were instrumental In transforming Re-
publican majorities into Democratic vic
tories; but they have failed. The Admin
istration is In no way responsible for any
publication that may be made regarding its
future policy, for the President, with a cir
cumspection which is satisfactory to him.

formal way by any representative Of the

were trustworthy. The events of the com.
