WASHINGTON !'
THE EUB AT LAST.
A Comnromisa Comminien far Soath
Carolina and Louisiana.
DEMOCRATS DETERMINED ON
RESTORATION OF SOUTHERN
SELF-GOVERNMENT.
HAYE1 DETERMINED.
Trotps
Shall be BtmoTed from the
Seuti.
Washington, March 8.
The President may send a compro
mising commisaion, headed by Vico
President Wheeler, to South Carolina
and Louisiana. Consternation per
vades the Republican breast.
The Democrats are solid, and de
termined in their demand, for the
restoration of self-governm ent through
out the South, and in obtaining it do
not propose to make any humiliating
concessions to the President or any
one else.
The World's Washington dispatch
ays : inere was a comerence at the
White House last night, at which Mr;
Evarts, Stanley Matthews, Mr. Schurz,
and other friends of the President.were
present.
The extraordinary action of the Sen
ate in deferring the confirmations of
the new Cabinet was variously dis
cussed. The President expressed great
astonishment. He had uot anticipated
the unanimous approval of the selec
tion, but at the same time he thought
that they met the approval of the
-greater portion of the Senate. He
added, that he should adhere to the
nominations as he had made them,
and that the Senate could pursue its
own course in the matter; that he had
laid down the policy he intended to
pursue, and he should cafty it into
effect. If the Cabinet was not con
firmed this week, he said he should
proceed in co-operation with the old
Cabinet, and issue orders for the with
drawal ff trojrs from the Southern
States.
Major J. C. Cash, pamsterof the
Marine Corj s, was found dead in his
bed. Appoplexy.
The Senate has up a resolution to
swear in Jonn T. Morgan, senator
from Alabama, to which Mr. Spencer
submitted an amendment to refer the
credentials to the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, and spoke at
length in favor of that motion.
Midnight.
Washington, March 8. In the Sen
ate, the motion to refer the credentials
tiala of Gen. John T. Morgan to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
was rejected without dissent. He was
presented by Senator Gordon, and
i sworn in oy lue vice jrrcsiuenu
The following proceedings have a
direct bearing on the Kellogg case :
Mr. Wallace moved that the creden
tials of L. N. G rover, Senator from
Oregon, be taken from the table and
that he be sworn in.
Mt. Sargent submitted the following
as a suDstitute :
Whereas, under the constitution and
the laws and the practice of the Senate,
Lafayette. Grover, claiming to be a
Senator from the State of Oregon, his
credentials being regular and in due
form, and there being no contestant
for his seat, is entitled to admission to
a seat in this body on the prima facie
case presented by such credentials,
notwithstanding the objections con
tained in the petition of the citizens of
the State of Oregon against his admis
sion: therefore, be it resolved, that
the credentials of Lafayette Grover bo
taken from the table and the oath of
office be now administered to., him.
Resolved, further,, that the petitions of
the citizens of Oregon, containing
charges against Lafayette, Grover, lie
on the table until-the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be organized,
when' they shall be .referred to such
committee, togethetwith the creden
tials, with instruction to investigate
such charges, and report as to their
J falsity 2$ i f B W ""ij-Cj
Mr. Wallace accepted the substitute
Mr. Conkling moved to amend by hr
serting in the preamble, after the wol-ds
'no contestant for the seat," as follows:
"and there being in said State but one
body claiming to be the Legislature;
and but one person claiming to be the
Governor, and s there being, no doubt
or dispute as to the. existence of one
leeal. rightful State government
The amendment was accepted by
Mr. Sargent.

and' applause.) " 1 A " 1 " y
Thm Vice President admonisnea oc
cupants of the ''galleries' that the ar
lausg mu,t be repeated.
...Mr. Ho
Howe.' 6f Wisconsin, referred to
i , .. tt . i , i
the case of Packard, : ad said he was
not an outlaw, but he could not show
himself on the streets of New Orleans.
If the people of New Orleans were law
abiding, why should Ir. Packard be
afraid to show himself before them ?
It had been said he claimed an office
to which he .was not entitled. The
same thing had been said about the
President of the United States, and yet
in this law-abiding city that President
was not afraid to show himself.
Finally Grover was seated.
Mr Thurman said that at a former
session of the Senate, the credentials
of j B Eustis, claiming to be a Senator
from the State of Louisiana, were re
ferred to the committee on privileges
and elections. The committee reported
against the right of Mr Eustis, to a seat
on the ground that the vacancy had
been filled by the election of Pinch
back. Subsequently; the Senate decid
ed that Pinchback was not elected. He
therefore submitted a resolution that
the credentials of Mr Eustis be taken
from the table and referred to the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
Laid over until to-morrow.
Executive Session.
During the debate in the Senate, Mr
Blaine had the following read ;
New Orleans, March 8th, 1877.
To Hon J G Blaine, U. S. Senate :
Senator Bayard is mistaken. In ev
ery parish outside the city, except the
five "bulldozed" parishes, in one of
which our tax collector has just been
murdered, my government is recog
nized by all, save a few pretended
Nioholls officials.
S. B. Packard.
Washington, Much 8th, 1877,
To Hon J G Blaine :
Dear Sir: Hon Wm M Evarts beg
ged me to say to you, that he did not
endorse the latter of Stanly Matthews
to Gov Chamberlain, to the extent im
plied by the telegram of Gov Chamber
lain to me : That the letter was pre
sented to him by Mr Haskell of South
Carolina, and he wrote upon it sub
stantially as follows : That he had read
the foregoing letter, that he desired to
see the troubles in South Carolina com-
posed, at;d that he desired to hear
from Gov Chamberlain upon the cub
ed. Very respectfully,
D. T. Cokbin.
Confirmation : John Sherman, Sec
retary of the Treasury. Pending con
firmation of the Cabinet, there is noth
ing said worthy of credence regarding
minor appointments, or other matters.

Flietisg. We are . requested to
express our opinion on this subject.
We do not believe that a true gentle
man will deliberately trine - with a
woman's affections. We have never
known a gentleman to be euil ty of such
a cruel, wicked and foolish thing. For
man capable of such conduct we
have nothing but contempt. We hare
always excused them on the ground
that, in our opinion, they were want
ing in common sense. Flirting is a
sinful, cruel and exceedingly foolish
practice, and usually ends in reproach,
shame and the destruction of happi
ness. Thirty-First Annual
