Attitude of President Hayes.
Washington, March 17.
The week just ended has been one
of great rush and hurry at the Execu
tive Mansion, as it was thought
necessary to prepare a great number
of nominations to be sent to the Sen
ate and to hear the claims and peti
tions of great numbers of persons
who had come a long distance. It
was also necessary to give attention
to members of Congress of both
branches. There will now be a much
more systematic order of things at the
Executive Mansion. The Cabinet
meetings will be held regularly' on
Tuesdays and Fridays, unless some
extraordinary emergency arises, and
time will be taken for careful de
liberation over subjects that have
heretofore been alluded to. In the
Cabinet next week, according to the
present understanding, the President
will refer to his Cabinet the impor
tant questions belonging to the con
dition of effairs in South Carolina
and Louisiana. The President, who
feels that the earliest attention should
be given to these distressing issues,
insists that they shall receive the
very fullest investigation, so that
when judgment is given by the gen
eral government it shall be final.
The Attorney General has already
before him, by regular reference, all
papers bearing on the affairs of the
two States.
Judge W. W. Gibbs, colored, of
Arkansas, who was an Elector at
large on the Hayes and Wheeler
ticket, had an interview with the
President to-night. Judge Gibbs
said that the nomination of Mr. Key
as postmaster-general had ex
cited some alarm, but it was
fully offset by the nomination of Mr.
Douglas. Judge Gibbs assured the
President of the intention of the
colored people to support him in his
measures of reconciliation between
the sections and the races. The
President said he was sincere in his
policy, and would adhere to it until
satisfied of its impracticability. For
eight years, the President said, the
policy of force and the musket had
been tried in the South, but had
failed, and public sentiment de
manded a change.
It appears that the Administration
still has some hopes that Messrs.
Chamberlain,and Packard will yield
to the suggestions of those who claim
to be the best friends of the Repub
lican party of the country, aud of the
persons directly in question. The
pressure is very strong to give them a
few days' grace, aud it is now possible
that Federal support will not be with
drawn until after Friday's Cabinet.
Meantime propositions honorable to
all parties, and looking to the quiet
enforcement of the policy of recon
ciliation, will be pressed.
Washington Correspondence of the Nor
folk Landmark.
Washington, D. C, March 16.
The Virginia Republicans, under
the leadership of Mosby, had an in
terview with the President yesterday.
Among the party were Mr. Charles
Wise, son of Gov. Henry A. Wise,
and Captain Chapman, of Mosby's
battalion. In the course of the con
versation Hayes stated that he had
intended offering the portfolio of the
War DeDartment to Gen. Joe John
ston, but that he had rescinded the
mention in deference to the feelings
fHE
VOL. XIX.-NO. 148.
of the North; but that he yet intended
to act handsomely by him.
All those politicians. whom I have
conversed with say that Hayes is a
very unsatisfactory person to inter
view; he is fidgety and nervous, and
seems to lack the power to concen
trate his attention. Grant, with all
his faults, was a rarely good listener,
and gave each applicant his undivi
ded attention.
In a tour around town I ran against
many partisan Democrats who aie
after the crumbs that the political
Dives shakes from his table. Among
them 1 noticed
GEN. DABNEY MAURY,
who, it is said, is trying for a soft
place in Richmond, the collector of
the port, I believe.
Mr. Hayes made one false move
yesterday in nominating Fred. Doug
las for the marshalship of the District,
of Columbia. It was a veritable
bombshell in the camp of the Conser
vatives arrd moderate Republicans.
From time immemorable this office
has been considered the very highest
office that the President could confer
upon a native of the city, and as the
nature of the office was one requiring
great business tact, a knowledge of
law, and, above all, gentlemanly and
social attributes, it required the high
est combination of the scholar, the
courtier and the gentleman to fill it.
The marshal has all the delicate,
complex affairs relative to the cere
monials, processions, &c, of the city
government to settle. He is the
CONFIDENTIAL ADVISER OF THE PRESI
DENT in regard to all municipal matters.
He is to the White House what the
Usher of the Golden Rod and Knight
of the Bed-Chamber is to the palaces
of Europe. He introduces all strang
ers, and in all receptions stands on
the right hand of the President. So
it will be seen that though the dusky
Fred would make a first-class waiter,
and a very respectable waiter, yet the
Republicans think that their man and
brother is lifted a little too high when
he is elevated to the Marshalship, with
perquisites and salary amounting to
$12,000 per annum.
MR. MORRILL,
in a speech in the Senate to-day, said
that an extra session of Congress
would be called on the first Monday
in June. When it does meet look
out for storms; it will probably be
even more irreconcilable than the
last, that is, if the Western members
can make it so, for reports from the
West indicate anything but a satis
factory feeling there. We are used
to political afflictions. An eel, they
say, oan get used to being skinned,
and the South has learned these
Christian virtues of patience and re
signation. Chasseur.

agement of Walsh & Wright, the

Court Etiquette Abolished.
Philadelphia Times Special.
Washington, March 14.
Hayes broke through another one
of the court rules of etiquette by
walking over to Garfield's house this
afternoon, ringing the bell and walk
ing in to consult that surprised leader
of the House. The plan under the
Grant regime would have been to
send for Mr. Garfield to call and see
him. Haves iocularlv remarked UDon
j j i
it, after his return, as quite a relief to
stretch his legs.
The President and Rllsw Cozzens.
President Hayes said a good thing
the other day to Miss Phoebe Cozzens,
of St. Louis, who went to the White
House to pay her respects to him.
Miss Cozzens is a lady who has
studied law, and who differs from
nearly all the ladies who have invaded
the professions usually practiced by
men, in being decidedly attractive in
personal appearance. In the course
of her conversation Miss Cozzens
playfully referred to Geueral Grant's
having talked of appointing her chief
justice, and said that if he had done
so, it would have been her duty to
have administered the oath of office
to him on Monday. President Hayes
replied to her, "My dear Miss Cozzens,
in that case 1 should nave Kissea
something besides the book."-Spring-

Not Afraid of Work.
Commend us to the man who prefers any
kind of honest toil, however humble, to a
life of idleness or even that of doubtful pro
priety, involving principle or strict integrity
in its accomplishment. Such a one, when
he goes home to his wife and children at
the close of his day's labor, has the proud
consolation of knowing that he has done his
duty by himself and family; and though his
fare may be hard and plain, he and they are
far happier in the knowledge that the little
they have has been procured by honest en
deavor than they would be with the richest
of food and the gaudiest of raiment at
tained at the cost of self-respect or the
violation of any moral principle, such as
going in debt without any prospective
ability, or, it may be, inclination, to liqui
date the same at a future day. These re
flections are suggested by ah instance that
has come to our knowledge only within the
last day or two, in which a dry goods clerk
of this city, who, having been thrown out
of employment by no fault of his own, and
being unable to secure another place, got
him a saw and "horse" and went bravely to
work sawing wood at twenty-five cents a
load, rather than be idle or resort to any
doubtful means of procuring the necessary
subsistence for himself and family. Such
an act is deserving of all praise and should
be held up as an example worthy to be fol
lowed by all who are similarly situated.
Tne Knight of Yalabusba.
A correspondent of the Long Island City
(N. Y.) htar, writes a letter from Jackson
ville, Florida, in which we find the follow
ing of local interest The correspondent's
allusions to the Knight of Yalabusha are
good:
"Wilmington is a thriving city, deriving
its chief trade from the exportation of
rosin, turpentine, and yellow pine lumber.
It contains a beautiful cemetery, in the
centre of which stands Powers' statue,
erected to the memory of the Confederate
dead. The city is generally supposed to be
destitute of good hotels, but my memory
ran back five years, and recalled the genial
host of the Purcell House, one Davis, a
Colonel of course. This military gentle
man we found at the depot, and his pro
mise to make our party of eighteen all
comfortable during the night seduced us,
and well did he keep his word. Now the
Colonel is a great wag, and few of his
guests manage to escape from bis hostelry
without being numbered among the victims.
He lays in wait for them with serious mien,
and when his yarn is the toughest, you in
variably credit him with telling the exact
truth. Suspended over his office door the
Colonel has what appears to be a huge bat
tle axe, the product of a Confederate jack
knife. It is made of wood, and weighs
perhaps half a pound. Soon after 'the
cruel war was over,' a very tender-hearted
Massachusetts gentleman stopped with my
worthy host, who gulled his susceptible
guest with the most incredible of tales.
The attention of the Yankee was soon
drawn to the gigantic axe, and asking its
meaning, was gravely informed by the
Colonel that it was kept for the express pur
pose of 'killing niggers." The worthy dis
ciple of Garrison looked awe-struck. Some
weeks afterward the Colonel again met the
gentleman, but no amount of suavity could
induce him to tarry for the night at the
Purcell House. He admitted the comfort
of the beds, the excellence of the fare, but
with indignation in every feature he in
formed the Colonel that nothing could' per
suade him to patronize a hotel where an axe
was kept 'for 'killing poor innocent ne
groes.' " -
Election Law-Penalty for Fraud.;
Section 22 of act of 1874-'75, which is
now operative and to be construed as part
of the act to organize a government for the
city of Wilmington, under which the elec
tion for Aldermen is to be held on Thurs
day next, is as follows:
"That any person who shall, with intent
to commit a fraud, register or vote in more
than one precinct, or more than one time in
the same precinct, or who shall induce ano
ther to do so, shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and on conviction shall be impri
soned not less than six nor more than
twelve months, or fined not less than one
hundred dollars nor more than four hun
dred dollars; and any registrar or any clerk
or copyist who shall make any entry or
copy with intent to commit a fraud, shall be
liable to same penalty."

Mutiny of Seamen.
Six seamea belonging on the British
Barque Maria, Capt. Stewart, which ar
rived here on the 7th inst. from Liverpool
and cleared on the 15th for Trieste, Aus
tria, conspired together before leaving port
and refused to do any work, being to all in
tents and purposes in a state of mutiny.
It was finally found necessary to apply to
the city authorities for assistance, when
Officer Geo. Sullivan of the police force
was placed as a guard over them; but the
men were so determined and resolute in
their purpose of defiance to all constituted
authority, and especially to that of Capt
Stewart and his officers, that he was obliged
to put them in irons. The vessel is now
lying at Smithville, with the men on board,
mayor's Court.
There were only two accidental not ha
bitual "drunks" for the consideration of
the Mayor yesterday morning, the parties
having very innocently mixed a little, too
much whiskey with their water, and as they
promised to pay more attention to the rela
tive proportion of the ingredients of their
favorite beverage hereafter, and as it was
in evidence that they could in -no wise he
classed in . the catalogue of permanent dis
ciples of "Bacchus," they were released on
the payment of $10 and costs, with the ad
monition to "go and sin no more."
Overboard.
A horse belonging to Mr. W. G. Fowler
fell off the wharf at the Carolina Central
depot yesterday morning, and a man who
attempted to rescue the animal tumbled in
after him, but found-bottom and succeeded
in cutting loose the fastenings attached to
the horse, when, he was coaxed for some
considerable distance until a favorable
point was reached for getting him on dry
land.

The Revenue Cutter Colfax, which
arrived here yesterday morning from a
cruise along the coast, reports having ex
perienced, during two or three days of the
past week, the severest weather within the
recollection of those on board. When they
left Hatteras Inlet there was every prospect
of a fine day, but upon arriving off Cape
Lookout the vessel encountered a very heavy
sea, which could not be accounted for, and
as they came further South the wind and
rough sea increased to an alarming extent.
The unknown brig, heretofore reported on
Lookout shoals, was sighted, but it was
found impossible to render her any assist
ance, as the Cutter herself was in imminent
peril at the time, and it is feared that the
brig with all on board proved a total loss.
That night (the exact date of which our in
formant was unable to speak with certainty)
every exertion was necessary to keep the
vessel from foundering, and no one on board
was able to snatch a moment's sleep. The
large boat was smashed to atoms by a heavy
sea, while the force of the gale was terriffic.
The Cutter finally went into the bight at
New Inlet and made a harbor, but subse
quently, with the assistance of a pilot, made
her way through the obstructions at New
Inlet and came inside, Capt. Barr being
afraid to risk the trip around Frying Pan
Shoals in the then condition of the weather.

Dr. Schknck's Standard Remedies. The stan
dard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonie, and Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the lungs arc destroyed a speedy .cure is ef
fected. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the longs; nature throws it off by an easy expecto
ration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
Blight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
ana the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and li
ver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act en the liver, re
moving all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the
bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and Pulmonic
Syrup will make good blood ; then the longs heal,
and the patient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office.
