MIR. CHANDELIERS POSITION.
The Predicate Title and His Southern
Policy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A new edition of
Hon. VIM. E. Chandlers recent letters about
the Southern policy and the alleged Louisiana
bargain has just been published, together with
William Lloyd Garrison's letter and an intro
ductory note from Mr.. Chandler, in which he
says notwithstanding the criticisms and denun.
Citations which the letters have elected. none of
the statements have been effectively denied or
disptoved. No person named made denial
over bis own signature and the various report
ed interviews only contained evasions or de-
malls of the facts not charged The substap.
tial correctness of all the facts stated in the
letters is hereby reafirmed. Persistent at
tempts have been made by hostile newspapers
TO create the impression that the letters assail
the title of President Hayes and propose to re-
open the Presidential election controversy. An,
entire perusal of the letters win correct all
Misrepresentation on this point They contain
expressions like the following: "Unquestiona-
bly, he should have asserted in every possible
way the moral and legal validity of his own
title, wisdom and honor" Therefore it seems
70 me clearly that it required that President
Hayes should maintain his own rightfulness of
the title. What were the reagitation or REIN
vestgation of the Presidential question there
may take place. The President and his advisers
the Louisiana bargainers, who sold their Re-
publican birthright for mess of pottage, are
responsible and not those Republicans who de-
Dounce and repudiate the trade and the treason.
1t may also be added that it cannot be possible
that the true interests of the Republican party
are to be subserved by denying or concealing
the facts connected with the Presidential can
vvass or counting. If any such exist dlscredta-
BILE or dishonorable to the party or to the Pres.
fdent, to Secretary Sherman, 10 Senator Mat.
thews, to Mr.. Chandler or any other member
OF the party. the sooner they are exposed, re-
probated and repndiated the better and safer
1t will be for the future of Republican princi-
pies and Republican organization.

The Remaias Viewed at ST. Peters by
Thousands.

The Remains Viewed at ST. Peters by
Thousands.
ROME, Feb. 9.-Bismarck has instructed the
German ambassador here that Germany re-
trains from all interference till a new Pope is
elected, after which event he may take action.
If moderate Pope is elected, Germany is
expected to make overtures for an understand
ing.
The newspapers hint at circumstantially
stormy and acrimonious scene at Fridays con-
gregation of Cardinals. Cardinal Manning, at
the head of the extremists, wishes the concave
to meet at Malta. Later accounts concur that
the minority against holding the conclave at
Rome ia Insignificant
The Reform says the Roman and German
Cardinals wish to elect Pope of an advanced
age, but the Italians want one not intimately
connected with the events of the late reign.
The Italian government has telegraphed the
foreign governments pledging the security OF
the cOnclave.
Contrary to previous arrangements the Pope's
body was removed night to the Sistine chap
ell, and thence through the covered passage to
ST. Peters, where it will lie in state Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. The alteration implies
the Fastening of the conclave.
Meeting of the Sacred College.
ROME, Feb. 1O-To-morrow, on arrival of the
foreign Cardinals, the Sacred College will per-
manently constitute itself in congregation. A
bull" left by Plus TX. authorizes the Cardinals
to deviate from established procedure, but not
to prescribe any special new rule.
Viewing the Remains.
The public were admitted to st. Peters to re-
view the remains of the Pope at $50 o'clock
this morning. The crowd was tremendous, and
many women tainted from the pressure. A
comany of soldiers had to enter the church to
regulate the passage of the crowd.
The Reform states that the conclave will last
long time. At one of the next congregations
the Cardinals will consider the question Of per-
mitting the absent Cardinals to telegraph their
votes.

board were ready to do the job required, bnt it
was necessary to have witnesses to get up the
evidence about intimidation. Clerks had to be
employed and the affidavit mill set going in the
custom house, but there was no money to do it
with. There was talk about passing around the
hat to the visiting statesmen, bat those gentle
men were there to witness the count and give
encouragement, not cash. The money must be

the bank, telling the officers they must be sat-
