A Washington correspondent of tho
New York licruld, said to bc well in
formed, writes about question thnt
IS agitating many minds at present.
Ilc says:
The possible relations of the South
10 me new administration arc discussed
with great interest. Southern men of
great prominence who came here dur
ing tho canvass did not hesitate to de-
clare that if the Democrats were
beaten this time tthc South" would
no longer remain Democratic. Gen
cral Garlicld's personal relations with
many influential Southern men have
long been Of the most friendly and in
innate; and 1t is thought that while he
may not choose to call into his cabinet
any man from section of the country
which cid not give an electoral vote TO
INC party, he may, with the advice OF
Nlr. Conkling and other leading sup
portcrs,. undertake to put the federal
service in tho Southern States on an
entirely new footing, selecting Dromi-
iic,it ana influential Southern mon for
thc most important federal Offices,
WIN view to drawing into the Re-
publican ranks such men, on their
guarantee that they and their friends

"oE'"vcr, Garfield has been LONG here

that 1t Is likcly 10 have The SUPPORT Of

branch in tho most effective way.
SOUTHERN QUESTION PLAYED OFT,
There is growing impression
among Republicans who have visited
thclr homes during tho canvass that
the Southern question is. as one OF
them remarked, 'I,laycd out" and
