Washimotok, Feb. 28. The Repub
lican managers for Got. Hayes will
give no formal promise of recognition
to the Nicholls government as that
would be crushing Packard out, but
they are willing to let his government

Packard and his followers shall not be
prosecuted or persecuted.
There is a tocit .understanding that
the Senatorial delegation should not
be utterly objectionable to the majority
- The Republican leaders say the
ituation in South Carolina is more
simple as no statue quo orders from
Washington will interfere with the re
sult which all seem to desire.
The friends of the Nicholls govern
ment here., assert positively that, the
President has promised to withdraw his
status quo orders upon the proclama
tion of the vote. This is founded upon
personal pledges whioh may or may
not be carried -ont'-i ' i

Londos,. Feb. 28. A dispatch to
the Pal Mall Gazette from Berlin
says: "It jsbelieved here that the
Russian army will shortly be demobil
ised. Lord Derby's suggestion that a
year's time be granted the Porte to
prove the sincerity of its promises of
reform meets with increasing favor.
The general aspect of affairs is deefde
ly peaceable. The statement that Rus
sia is pressing for an answer to Prince
GortschakofTs circular is without
foundation JX M ..powera, appear, on
the contrary, to have postponed their
replies, with her approval. The Czar's
government is believed to be of the
opinion that after the issue of the cir
cular an unfavorable reply from any of
the Powers would seem to compel It to
a course of action which might now be
prudent and it is said to be desirous of
coming to a resolution unfettered by
such considerations."

Tho committee on the debt of the

carefully considered the whole matter, j
and recommend that no action be
taken at the present time.' It is un
necessary for us to declare our faith in
the integrity and honesty of the. peo
ple of North Carolina. Our State has
ever bbrne an honorable name for her
fidelity to her engagements, and we
are sure that her character ( in this re
spect has not degenerated.
It can be said of our people that, ' as
a body, they are as tru to their obliga
tions ns any in the world, and as s gen
eral thing thu course of public, events
has manifested a jealous purpose to
foster the 'sense of individual and of
fiublic honesty and to strengthen the
orcc of those ' great principles on
which society is founded. It has been
our uniform policy to promote habits
of probity and a sincere regard for our
rights; and in the great and trying
emergency through which we have
been for years passing, the State has
uniformly shown a disposition firmly to
adhere to ber honorable traditions.
In the opinion of the committee the
State is not now in position to offer
her creditors such a settlement as they
wonld likely accept. At the same
time the committee arc of opinion that
it is very desirable, to have the debt
sett'ed uponprinciples of equity and

Capture ef Cnaa. Bontherland, tha
.. Forger, if- ..
Sheriff Manning learning- yesterday
morning that Chos. Sontherland, an
escaped prisoner, was at his home on
the corner of Eighth" and "Church
street, ordered his deputy, Tom Miller,
to summon a posse and capture him.
The posse consisted of Howe, Strode,
Ashe, Whitney and Dan. Howard, the
jailor. All went fully armed, for they
knew that Sontherland would resist to
the last. . They surrounded his house
and Miller and Howard went in. When
they entered Sontherland slipped into
a closet, raised a trap-door and-jumped
under the house. But he could not get
out for there was a man with a cocked
pistol on each side of the building. He
determined to try, and ran out on the
side towards Ashe. Ashe ordered him
to surrender but instead Southerland
put his hand into his pocket to draw
out his pistol. By this time Strode
arrived and the two clutched him. In
the scuffle Ashe's pistol went off, but
no one waa hurt The others ran out
and Sontherland was soon hand-cuffed
and carried to jail.
Southerland is the negro who two
years ago forged an order on Messrs.
Edwards 4 Hall and on Messrs. Wilder
it, Morton. The deed was discovered
but Southerland made bis escape to
Baltimore. He was followed and
brought back. Mayor Canaday stood
his bond.
At the last term of the Superior
Court Mayor Canaday gave up the
bond and Southerland was arrested
again. Going, with his guard, into Mr.
Fred. Beyer's store to get his over
coat, Sontherland made his escape and
has not been seen until yesterday.

Tha Case of the Soldier and the Two
Negro Policemen.
Brief mention was made yesterday of
the arrest of a drunken person on the
street late Tuesday night, and of the
rough usage he was subjected to by the
two policemen. The full particulars
place the policemen in a bad light, but
aa the matter will be investigated this'
morning in the Mayor's Court we for
bear from severe comment for the pres
ent - . ' X ': '
It appears that a member of Col.
Pennington's command at Fort John
son was in the city Tuesday as a wit
ness in a case before, a United States
Commissioner. He became intoxicated
at night, and was passing along North
Front street, near the Farcell House,,
when he was arrested by,, officers
Maultsby and Starling of the
force, both negroes and both raw re
emits. They attempted to take him
to the Station House and by-standers
say that he offered no resistance, but
simply endeavored to escape. He was
truck rudely on the head, as we stated,
by a billy in the hands of Anthony
Maultsby, who seems to have1 wontonly
used his position in thus inflicting se
vere injuries upon a man who was too
mcch in liquor to harm him. Surely
two sober and burley policemen are
enough to place one drunken man un
der arrest without resorting to vio
lence. There are other facts connected with
the case which may call for criticism
at the proper time.
