New Orleans, August l." A reporter called
upon the Postmaster Sabn to learn the ways

letters had run the quarantine, From that
official it was learned that six letters had ar
rived from New Orleans, but they were not
in New Orleans mailbag, having been
placed in with letters from New York. The
only plausible explanation Of how they came
there was that they had been put in the New
York mailbag at Louisville or some other

AS soon as it was discovered that such let

Senator visits Cape May en- route. He is one
Of the few Republicans of prominence who
still believes that the Presidents Southern
policy was right, and will yet vindicate ITSELF
even as measure OF party exigency.
He says he did not see the papers which
Major Burke had at the WOrmley conference
but believes Burke showed tt to the others,
among them Gen. Garfield. It was simply O
statement of the policy to which Gov Nichols
and those who supported him were COM
mitted--a sort Of rough draft Of what was
embodied in the resolution passed by the
Nichols Legislature when 1T obtained Re-
turning Board quorum
In Washington Burke said that the rights
OF the colored people would be more secure
under the Nichols government than under
that OF Packard, and repeated to me what the
party pledged itself to during the campaign
Subsequently he put these points in writing
and that was the paper he had at the Worm
ley conference. It had nothing about it II
the shape of compact; 1t was not signed by
anybody, and Burke was not authorized tt

Fosters Views.

Congressman Fosters faith in conciliation
seems to have been hopelessly shaken In his
speech accepting a denomination, he said he
had favored the Presidents Southern policy
but the South had not kept it's promise. A
united South must be opposed by united
North, because the success Of the former
means the payment of rebel claims, pay for
emancipated slaves, and payment Of pensions
to rebel soldiers. There could be no peace un-
til the menace of solid South is Withdrawn.
