TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. WASHINGTON ! CHAMBERLAIN ADVISED TO RE SIGN. Hayes Undecided as to Southern Policy. Bis LEADING REPUBLICANS DISSAT ISFIED. Tilden Would Have Been Better Thm Hayes. BAYARD MAKING SPEECH. A STRONG Washington, March 7. The letter alluded to, in the follow ing from the Republican, .was written by Stanley Matthews, and endorsed by Wm M Evarts : ''General Banks of the House South -Carolina Investigating Committee, and the United States Marshal for South Carolina, called upon President Hayes this morning and had a brief conyersation upon the political situation in that State. The President stated to General Banks that he would have to excuse any expres' sion of views on that subiect at this time, fes he had determined to take some days for its consideration, and not to act until conferring with his Cabi net: that he would then deal with the subject in buth South Carolina and Jt is stated that a letter has been written to Gov Chamberlain by a prominent friend of President Hayes, and endorsed by another friend, inti mating that Gov Chamberlain's resig nation would be acceptable. The Cabinet had not been arranged at midnight. Neither Blaine, Morton, Cohkling, nor anybody is satisfied The administration leader in the Sen ate is not yet indicated. It may be Stanley Matthews who is to succeed Sherman. Should Hayes, by disre garding the pledges of hia managers, fiil to pu-.fy Louisiana and South L.ari.lii;;i, his adrninu traticii wiil open with d?i ior.ib:o difficulties. His only saltty is thought to be to cling to the co-alition, which having the safety of those S'ates in view, forced the count of the electoral vote to an issue, before the fourth of March. Honor and safety urge him to fulfill the pledges made for him by his managers. No nominations.

Chevalier Bayard Tells Sonic Hoiuely Truths in the Senate. CHAMBERL&IN WILL, OR WOS'T. Cabinet Nominations : For Secre tary of State, Wm M Evarts, of New York ; Secretary of the Treasury, Jahu Sherman, of Ohio; Secretary of War, George M McCrary, of Iowa ; Secretary of the Navy, RM Thompson, of Indi ana; Secretary of tha Interior, Carl Schurz, of Missouri ; Attorney General Charle3 Devens, of Massachusetts ; Postmaster General, David M Key, of Tennessee. Senator Davis uses the chair which Dixon H Lewis filled twenty years ago It had been carefully preserved in the room of the committee on commerce All Cabinet nominations were referred to the committee, an unusual course The Republican Senators exhibited very ugly feeling in the executive ses 8ion. Ex Senstor Robinson presented to President Hayes, G? n Kershaw. Judge T J Kackey, Ex-Gov R K Scott and Father J H Ryan, of South Carolina, who presented a letter from Hampton to the President. - Kellos'sr'fl credentials are referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions. . fcT J Senate. Mr Bayard, of Delaware, who was entitled to the floor, said that hia reasons for moving to refer the ere dentials of Mr Kellogg to the commit- tee on privileges and - elections, were those warranted py me unuro.eu . . I USagC Ul """J , v . y "r infnrmpidv since its torgahization. , The .rftdflntiala of Mr Kellogg did not ere ate a prima facie case, because they were signed by , Stephen B Packard hn waa not Governar of Louisiana either de jure, ot de facto. On the con trary, the Senate must take cognizance of the public fact that Fraocn x.nica olla was the Governor of the State, and had a legal legislature acting in accord with him; that they had control of every-p Art of th; Stat of Louisiana, except about one acre, upon which stands the hotel used by Packard as a State House. He argued that Nicholla was the only Governor of the State to day, and his certificate was the only one the Senate of the United States could justly respect. This case waa not new, but it'demanded the same con sideration now that it did in 1873, when the discussion was continued at such length. He argued that it was the duty of the Senate to see that the State of Louisiana wa3" represented here by two person?, but those persons must be chosen by her lawful legisla ture. He then, referred to the use of the military in the South, and said there waa an admission ' of the outgo ing administration tardy, it is true,that the use of the military to uphold State governments had been tried, but with no good results. He then quoted from the telegram of the President to the. effect that a government which could not maintain itself without the aid of the strong arm of the military, should be permitted to go down. He (Mr Bayard) viewed that language as a paraphrase of the language of the de claration of independence, under which our people took up arms to make them free. (Ex-President Grant who came in to the Chamber soon after Senate met, was an attentive listener to the above remarks of Mr Bayard.) Continuing his argument, Mr Bayard commented 011 the illegality of the returning board of Louisiana, and spoke of the proof in regard thereto offered before the electoral commission. He said a ma jority of that commission, claiming that they were only imbued with the counting power of ths two Houses of Congress had decided that they could not look into the charges of fraud against that returning board. There was in that decision a blow to his fond est hopes and belief i$ law. He then referred to the remarks of Mr Edmunds in the Pinchback case in 1875, and said that Senator based his objections to Pinchback on the illegality of the Lou isiana returning board. He then re plied to the argument of Mr Blaine to the effect that the decision of the elec toral commission was binding upon the Senate and contended that that decision had no force in law to control the ac tion of the Senali1. Mr Blaine asked if "the Senator from Vermont, Mr Edmunds, did not satisfy himself as a member of the electoral commisiion of the legality of the com petency and constitutionality of the returning board ? Mr Bayard said the Senator from Vermont gave as his reason for accept ing the Louisiana returning board, his want of power to examine into its re turns and composition. Continuing his argument, he Baid that the commis sion refused to take testimony which the Senate was bound to take. The remarks of the Senator from Maine yesterday led him with such abruptness to challenge the position of the Presi dent of the United States. The new President seemed to recognize, as at the last did his predecessor, the true condition of affairs in Louisiana. Mr Bayard then quoted from the inaugu ral address of President Hayes in re gard to Southern affairs, and said they were wise word?, and he recognized in the distressed condition. of he country the need of that which the President had proclaimed in regard to the South ern States. The peace of Louisiana was the peace of all, and her destruc- ion was the destruction of all. He argued that the recognition of the Pack ard government, and the forcible over throw of the Nicholls government, would not only shake th'e very souls of the people of Louisiana, but would cause a thrill on every bosom in this - land. He asked for Louisiana to:day the same measure of Jaw and justice that he would ask for Massachusetts. Mr Bayard again referred to the re marks of Mr Blaine made yesterday, and said he recognized in them the same cry for sectional aggression that had been heard for years past. It fell upon his ear like a fire bell at mid night, and he earnestly hoped it would not be heard by the President and his c mstitutional advisers. In conclusion he deprecated tbis sectional aggression, and hoped there would be an end to it now. Mr Blaine had the following letter read : Columbia, S. C, March 7, 1877 To Hn D T Corbin : I have iust bad a long interview with Haskell, who brings letters tome from Stanley Matthews and Mr Jvarts The purport of Matthews' letter is, that I oueht to yieia my rienis ior me eood of the country. This is embar rassine bevond endurance. If such action is desired. I . want .toiknow it immediately.: I am not acting for ray self, and 1 cannot assume sucu respon sibility. 2 Please inquire and telegraph me to night. : D H Chamberlain. Morton followed, in favor of Kellogg- The question being on the substitute of Mr Bayard, for r the ongnal resolu tion ot Mr t Blaine in the case of Kel-i logg, was; then agreed to. Yeas, ;35 The substitute is as follows : Tha the case of Wm Pitt Kellogg, claiming to be a Senator: .from ; the State Louisiana, do now lie upon the table Until the appointment of a committee on Priviieges -and Elections, to whom they can be referred.. ; ' - ; , -a The vote, in detail, was as follows : Yeas Messrs Baily, Barnum, Bayard," Bogy, Booth, Burnside, Christian, Coke, Conkling, Davis of Illinois, Davis of WestVirginia, Dennis, Eaton, Garlaad, Gordon, Harris, Hereford, Hill, Johnston, Jones of Florida, Jones of Nevada, Kernan, Lamar, McCrary, McDonald, McPherson, Maxey, Mor rill, Randolph, Ransom, Saulsbury, Thurman, Wallace, White and With ers 35.

Mr Patterson pf South Carolina, sub mitted a resolution, that the creden tials of Daniel T Corbin and M C But ler, each claiming a seat in the Senate from the State of South Carolina, lie upon the table until the committees are appointed, and that their creden tials shall then be referred to the com mittee on- Privileges and Elections, which was agreed to. Mr Morton moved to go into execu tive session. Mr Bayard requested the Senator to withdraw that motion, that he might offer a resolution to have Gen John T Morgan, Senator elect from Alabama, sworn in. Mr Morton declined to do s ), and the motion for an executive session was rejected. Yeas, 30; nays, 31. A message was read from the Presi dent of the United States by - Mr Rodgers, his Secretary, giving the Cabinet nomination. Mr Bayard then submitted a resolu tion, that the credentials of John T Morgan, Senator elect from Alabama be taken from the table, and that he be sworn. Mr Spencer of Alabama, said he de sired to tpcak on this resolution, but was not able to go on to-day. Several Sedators insisted that he should go on. Afier a brief discussion, Mr Morrill of Vermont, renewed the motion for an executive session, and it was agreed to. An Arbitrator.
