TIE SOUTIL TIIE MATTHEWA-FOSTEIL AGREEMENT. Spectal Dispatch to The Trivune, Wasnisotox, D. C., March 20.~With the publication of the exact churacter of the sgree- ment made by Stanley Matthews and Charles Foster with leading Southern Democrats during the filibustering in the House is revealed the fact that {n no respect did it fall to accord with the proposed Southern policy of Hayes or with anythiog which has been dono since his inaugu. ratfon, The paper aimply contaloed anassuranco by Matthews aud Foster that President Hayes did not Intend to uphold State Governments Dby the use of Unlted Btates troops, This nssur- ance was positively given afew days later by President Hayes In his inaugural nddress, and has been repeated to every one who has con- versed with him on the subject. The whole Bouthern policy of tho Administration as far ns it haa been doveloped looks to this end, and the appointmentof aCommission to goto Louislana, 88 well aa the Invitation of the rival Governors of Bouth Carolina to come to Washington, ls direetly In line of this policy. While, therefore, the Presideat was nota pagty to this agree- ment, and nover had any knowledge of it, noth- ing has yet occurred, and is likely to occur, to prove that it was warrantod by what Mattlows and Foster know of Hayes' intentlons. ABSULD RUMORS, ‘The opponents of the Admisistration ars clr- culating a great number of false reports de- signed to convey the impression that there are differences of a scrlous character in the Cabinet with respect. to Southern and other questions. Among them are the report that Becretary 8churz will shortly rotiro from the Interior De- artment and take the Berlin mission; that tey will leave the Cubinct altugether; that Me- Crary and Deveus are dissatisficd with their present positions, and will soon change places. There {8 mo truth in any of these storics, As to the rumored retirement of 8churz and his ap- polntment to the Herlin misslon, Schurz him- self said to-day that the story was AUSURDLY PALSE; that no such thing had over been thought of or mentloned, aud that he nelther desired nor in- tended to leave the Cablinct. Aa to the Me- Crary story, Secretary McCrary himself sald to-day that’ uclther Sccrotary Dovens nor him- self had any expectation of changing places, nor dkd thc{' desire to do so. The story as to tho resiguation of Key is just as false, "There nover have been any differonces of opinfon in thie Cabinet, except a3 to unimportant detalls, REITERATED. ;I;I)S Prcah}clnl. t? nnnf.htcr". ale'h‘:mma’ which enlled upon him, has restated his position on the Bcum'crn qu'cstlum To some sfi?xmem Reo- publicans from Mississippl ho sald that it would not be his policy to sustaln State Governmients h{ Federal troopa. 1o added that if it were not hia polley, thors were two powerlul reasons why this milltary pollcy should be abandoned. They were, flrst, because the public opinion of the North had pronounced againat it See- ond, because Congrese hud declined to voto supplics for on army _ which coukl be used for any such purpose, and would doubtlcss refuse to continue supplics unless it was cvident that the army is not to bo used for any such purpose. GHEAT INJUSTICE, Whateyer mn{ be the truth aato the existonce of the alle; agreement between Stanley Matthews and_some_Republleans, it scems cere tain that Gov. Hmmpton has not been misled by ft. Judge Mackey, who Is Hampton'a leeal representative” here, uf'u that = Hampton nssured Win that Qe hiad no knowledzo whatever of any such agree- ment, and further, that hie considered It a great Injustico to President Hayes to.assume that ho had been a party to any compromise aflecting the sccurity of his titlo to the Presidency, The ngreement scems, in point of fact, to have been nothing more than the expression of AN INDIVIDUAL OPINION or political prophecy, and it was a politleal prophecy which is certaln to bo realized, The 8pirit of tho compact, it such thero was, will be exceuted.

C., March 25,—Tho svstem of Civil-Scrvice rules which is to be adopted for the Treasury Department has for its legal basis the following section of the Hevised Statutes: 8gc. 164, No clerk shall be appointed in any Department in either of the four classes above deslgnated until he has been examined and found qualified by a board of thres cxaminers, to consist of the Chief of the Burcau of the office fnto which much clerk I to be appolnted and two other clerks to bo selected by the head of the Department, Tils sectlon was passed on March 3, 1853, 1t ‘was followed In the Treasury Depariment dur- ingaportion of the War, and for some time subsequently, before the Grant Civil-8ervico sys- tem was Introduced. It was utterly disregarded i most of the otherdepartmants, appolntments in which were made FOR POLITICAL REASONS without any examination of auy sort, notwithe standlug the law was cxpliclt that examnination should bo had, The law docs not prescribe any such system as that which President Grant has recently characterized as onme of blacke board ' cxaminations, It simply left the method of cxamination to a board of examiuers, It eccins not to be the present in- tention of the Administration to adopt much more deflulte rules than are prescribed by this scctlon, The lexal busls upon which the new system Is torest Is the seetlon above quoted, und the resolution of the Forty-third Congress declaring that other things being equal, sol- diers should’ be given preference in appoint- ments, and that appointments should Le divid- cd proportionately smong the States, Terrl- tories, and District of Cotumbla. TILE ALLEGED PRAUDS, The following are the partlons of the report, of Judge Talbuot, the S8olicitor of the Treusury, of the investigation into the alleged corrupt cullections of overdun interest, which have not been sent by the Assoclated Press. The Sollcit- or says: It does not appear that cither the Treasurer or Asslvtont Treasurcr bave been Involved in any ofiicial neglizence, and that by thelr dolng, or neglecting to do, or giving or withholding any in- formation, they hnve “expuscd the ‘I'ressury or the creditors of the (iovernment to uny loss. The Treasurer s, fuct, the parly Mable for any lossca occurring through “any act or neglhigence of hin nusintants or clorke, and that relation, In addition Lo his irreproachable char- acter, seemns to bu _a suficient safegnard for his ofticlal fidelity.
