70 make things lively for the people OF Massachu-
sctts during the coming Summer and Eall if tie
reports which gentlemen from that state bring
10 Washington can be trusted. The General S
agents are said to be busy from one end
of the Commonwealth to the other, securing
control of the town committees of one or both OF
the other political parties. The general impression
seems to be that Butler will first strike for the con-
troll of the Republican Convention, and falling IN
that will capture the Democratic organization as
he did last year. The Generals movements seem
to cause the leaders Of both parties much concern
Ex-Sccretary Boutwell,, who IS spending few
days in Washing ston says that the Republican party
in Massachusetts can be defeated this year only IN
one way and that Is by ignoring IN the campaign
the great questions involved in National politics
In 1877 the Republican Convention passed reso-
lntlOn approving the Presidents Southern policy
and last year elected TO mention the subject IN
its platform Mr. Boutwell, does not think IL neces-
sarv for the Republican Convention this year to
critcise the Presidents Southern policy. bat be does
think it will be absolutely essential for tie party to
take the most decided stand i'll favor OF protection
of the tight to vote by the Government Of the

The ppople OF Nassac hUsctts have been thoroughly
aroused By the exposure of the frauds and outraecs
by which many CONGRESSIONAL Dls.ncts III the >oulh
were carried for the Democrats at the last election,
and Mr. Boutwell, believes that If the Republican

WASuISGroN, Feb. 21.-The Senate Committee

the nomination of Nj HAYS to be Postmaster a. II.
Louis without recommendation. The appointment
of Mr.. Hays, who is friend of Secretary schurz,
and the removal Of Mr.. Fcy, 1t will be rc-
mcmbcred caused considerable excitement ar
the time it was done. The Postmaster
General reported to the President that Mr. Ficy's
administration OF bis office was wholly satisfactory,
and that the interests of the service demanded
no change Mr.. Filleys removal was made wholly
on personal and political grounds. The report Of
the senate Committee probably means that no rel-
