Special to Richmond Dispatch.
Washington, March 24.
This morning Dr. A. S. Mcliae was
introduced by Ellis, of Louisiana,
and had a private chat with the Pres
ident for ton minutes. They sat down
and talked familiarly about the Rich
mond post-office and the President's
Southern policy. The Doctor assured
him that he could not appoint a more
objectionable person than Miss Van
Lew to the postmastership of. Rich
mond, because she had unnecessarily
and publicly insulted the people of
Richmond. He told Mr. Hayes Vir
ginia Democrats would of course
have preferred a Democratic Presi
dent, but they were pleased with the
sentiments of his inaugural; that they
had confidence in his good intentions,
but were afraid he had some bad ad
visers. "What," said Mr. Hayes,
coloring, "you don't mean around
this table?" The Doctor replied that
he did not specially refer to the Cab
inet, bnt to some others who were in
high favor.
Judge Mackey positively asserts
that by April 10tf Hampton's au
thority will be undisputed. Pack
ard's case is more difficult, because of
its peculiar relation to Hayes's title,
but one of the counsel for Hayes be
fore the Electoral Commission is said
to be preparing an argument that
under the Constitution oL Louisiana
there is no necessary connection be
tween the return of votes for Presi
dent and the election for State offi
cers. I . J

Washington, March 24.
The Southern situation is practi
cally unchanged. It is not probable
that the Louisiana imbroglio will be
settled before Congress meets. The
scheme of Hampton and Chamber
lain coming here receives nearly
the universal endorsement of the
friends of the latter, while the Demo
crats strongly condemn it. It is
probable though that both Governors
will be here by Tuesday next, and
the question settled at once.
There is a hitch in the Louisiana
Commission. All Southern men will
refuse to serve. Chasseur.
PRESS DISPATCHES.
Pnblic Opinion Both Democrats aud
Republicans Disgusted.
I Washington, March 24.
The public sentiment of the country
has so generally condemned the Lou
isiana Commission that the President
finds it no easy matter to complete
it. The names of those only who
accept are given out, while those of
a dozen who have declined are kept
as far as possible secret. It will pro
bably not be appointed foi several
days and possibly may be abandoned.
If the feeling ot disgust which exists
in Washington among Republicans
as well as Democrats, correctly re
flects the sentiment of the country,
the Commission will not be organ
ized at all or will be composed of
men wholly unfit to discharge the in
consequential duties to be asigned
them.
Vice" President Wheeler tele
graphed to night to the President
that he could not go on the commis
sion. The President replied that he
could not well excuse him, and
Wheeler answered that he would
start for Washington at once. Thur
low Weed declined, but recommends
Governor Bullock, of Massachusetts.
President Woolsey, of Yale, has been
tendered a place, as Morton Mc
Michael, of Pennsylvania.
i Tbe HIng of the True metal.
A'prominent Democratic member
of Congress from Pennsylvania, wri-ting-to
a friend in this city, says: "I
fear our Southern friends have been
too credulous, and are about to be
shamefully deceived. Hayes has lo8t
the opportunity of his life. A with
drawal of the troops in Louisiana was
expected by everybody, aud that
would have given peace to the conn
try. The Republicans are surprised
at his course themselves. For my
part, I will not vote a dollar to main
tain the army while it is used to prop
up Packard and Chamberlain."

What the Organ Thinks of the Situa
tion. New York, Maroh 25.
The Times' Washington special
says the members of the Cabinet deny
that there are any differences be
tween the President and any of his
advisers with reference to the South
ern troubles, and express the belief
that in South Carolina, at least, the
chances of amicably settling the con
troversy will be materially promoted
by the contemplated visit of Mr.
Chamberlain and Gov. Hampton to
Washington.
Meliolls or NQthlnK The Bold Stand
of the Louisiana People
New Orleans, March 25.
Tbe popular excitement shows no
signs of abatement, and the general
determination to ignore the Presi
dent's Commission, in any other char
acter than gentlemen, may now be re
garded as settled.
In addition to the indignation meet
ing held Friday, the Board of Brokers
met at the Stook Exchange yester
day, at which strong resolutions in
favor of the Nicholls government
were adopted enthusiastically, the
vote being forty-five in favor and five
against. Resolutions of the same
character as those adopted are being
circulated among the merchants,
which are almost universally signed.
Every one of these Bets of resolutions
have been, or will be, telegraphed to
the President.
1 conviction prevails that any im
position upon the slate of the Packard
government, either in its executive
or legislative branch, will be fatal to
the business interests of the commu
nity, and that any fate is better than
that. Governor Nicholls, Gliding the
large majority of voters of Louisiana
so hostile to any compromise, and so
apprehensive lest one shall be made,
has written a proclamation, which
will be issued to morrow, declaring
that the commission can effect no
compromise with the government of
Louisiana. He thanks the people for
their support of his government. It is
likely that the Nicholls Legislature
will adjourn before the arrival of
the Commission, so as to effectually
check the operations of the proposed
plan of adjustment as understood
here. The indignation mass meeting
has been postponed until the day of
the Commission's arrival, in order,
as it is said, to show them which is
the real government of Louisiana.
All the stores will be closed, business
will be suspended, and the demonstra
tion will be made memorable in the
history of the State.
From Columbia.

merce .J
Columbia, March 25.
While there is no change in the
situation to-night, the indications arc
that to-morrow matters will be clear
ly developed as to the course to be
pursued by the Hampton govern
ment. The prediction is justified by
the arrival here to-night of General
M. C. Butler on a special train from
Charlotte, where he missed connec
tion on the regular train this morn
ing. Gov. Hampton is steadfast in the
determination to refuse to submit bis
case for arbitration to either Hayes
or any commission to be appointed
by him. He will respond to the let
ter of Hayes in one of the ways indi
cated in that document, as a matter
of personal courtesy, in the manner
he deems proper, but under no cir
cumstances will he do so officially. I
am informed that Chamberlain goes
to Washington to-night; it has been
ascertained mat ne nas ordered a
carriage for twelve, midnight, but he
may possibly change his mind before
that hour

Greenville, March 24.
A fire, which broke out at half-past
one o'clock, on the corner of Main
and Coffee streets, this morning, de
stroyed the establishments of Morgan,
Davis & Co., J. B. Miller, Westmore
land & Sloan, and W. C. Owens, and
Gilreath's Hall. Morgan, Davis &
Co. s loss is estimated at $ 16,000,
with an insurance of $6,000. J. B.
Miller's is estimated at $1,500; no in
surance. Westmoreland & Sloan's
loss is estimated at $8,000; insurance
$4,000. W. C. Owens' is estimated
at $3,000; no insurance. There was
no insurance on the buildings.
Mr. W. W. Gilreath was badly
burned in attempting to save the
property.
The total loss is about $45,000,
with $15,000 insurance in non-board
companies, represented by C. L
Yates.
At 5 o'clock another fire was dis
covered in Mrs. Mauldin's residence,
on Main street. The house was de
stroyed, and the adjoining buildings
narrowly escaped. J5ut tor the at
most entire absence of wind the fire
would have been very disastrous.
Tbe fire was the work of incendi
aries, one of whom it is thought has
been captured. o

be well advised as to the effect of sec

fertilizers they had on hand on the
12th of March. There is a douot
whether they have any right o do so

have paid the license tax of $500. If
they are simply agents there is hardly
any doubt but that they are torDia

Four or five weeks ago, Walter
Exum, an adopted son of Mrs. Drake,
of this city, ran away from home,
and there was equal tribulation and
excitement on account of his sudden
and mysterious disappearance. But
Walter is all right, though nothing
had been beard of him from the time
of his disappearance until yesterday.
He footed it from here to Durham,
and turned up there under the name
of Paul Clifford (he had been reading
Bul-wer, or the dime novels, or both)
and got into business at once. After
staying there until yesterday, he
came back home. He said he left
because he "had got tired."

Raleigh News of 25 th: At 1
o'clock this morning, notwithstanding the

The Raleigh News of 24th

to Gov. Vance. It informs the Governor
that certain Mormon propagandists are

many proselytes are joining them. The
writer calls upon the uovernor ior auvice
or a "committee." We suggest that tbe
Governor send " a commission."

Norfolk Landmark, on the 23d inst, writes:
"Our Commissioner's Court was in session

J. Moore (Rad) had been honestly elected

Sneed, still holds over. It is thought by

that the company holding the Davis gold
mine, four miles west of our town, is going

son is rich in minerals, and the day ia not
distant when they will be brought to light.
Her red sand stone will at some time be a
mine of wealth, for it is now admitted to be
equal, if not superior, to any found in tbe
United States, and it is almost inexhausti
ble. Gov. Yance has been quoted by
a "Heathen Chinee." At a recent banquet
held in San Francisco the following oc
curred: Tbe dinner was eaten with chop
sticks to slow Chinese music, and then, as
a compliment to tbe guests, an American
dinner was served. "Gentlemen," said
one of tbe Chinese hosts, when conversa
tion began to droop and wilt, "You know
what the Governor of North Carolina said
to the Governor of South Carolina: 'It's a
long time between drinks.' "
We aid in handing him aronnd.
The Goldsboro Messenger Bays: The show
of Prof. Gomez at the Town Hall, last Sat
urday evening, proved him to be a humbug
of the first water. The "elegant sixty page
album, beautifully bound in gold," given
to every one of the audience, brands him
an audacious swindler and fraud. The per
formance may be called a seventh-rate con
cern, while tbe gold album is merely a com
mon paper pamphlet, bound in gilt paper,
worth about ten cents the dozen.
. Edward J. Hale, Esq., writes
to tU SUfaigh Gbmrver from New York , on
the 22d, as to the cotton crop as follows:
"For tbe first time since the cotton crop of
1876 came into market that is since the 1st
of September last the total receipts at all
the ports foot up less than those of the pre
vious year, viz: In 1875-'6, 3,075,143 bales;
in 1876-'7, 3,071,364 bales. It might have
been expected that prices would advance
upon this turn of tbe seals, evidencing that
the crop will not prove la be the excessive
one indicated by the rush which was made
to get it into market last fall. But the
stock here and elsewhere is too large, and
the trade in goods too much depressed to
lead to a hope of better prices '

Tne Rifle clan.
At the meeting of the Rifle Club, held
at the office of Mr. DuBrutz Cutlar,
yesterday afternoon, it was defi
nitely decided to reorganize the Club and
to have a new Range on Eagle's Island, on
the West side of the .river, opposite the
city. Committees on Range, target, &c.,
were appointed. Gentlemen wishing to
join the Club will please communicate with
either member of the following committee:
W. L. DeRosset, E. Lilly, J. D. Woody,
DuBrutz Cutlar, Junius Davis, L. S. F.
Brown, W. H. Bernard.
The new Range will be much more con
venient to our business men and others
than the one formerly used, and it is likely
that quite a large number of new recruits
will be the consequence. From all the
indications tbe present shooting season will
be a very lively one.
A JfKUuap to Fox Hunter.
A party of several gentlemen went fox
hunting yesterday morning and had some
very fine sport. The only drawback hap
pened to be a forward movement, not down

foremost over the neck of the mule be
bestrode, and another oeing served the same
trick by his horse. Both gentlemen "look
the ground" that they were not much hurt,
but they were willing to confess that they
were considerably jarred by their unex
pected collision with "mother earth."
