WASHINGTON. President Hayes’ Southern Policy Presaged. AN END OF MILITARY INTERFERENCE. The Unhappy Carpet-Baggers To Be Left to Their Fate. THE INAUGURATION FESTIVITIES, FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixotox, Feb, 26, 1877. THE PRESIDENTS FINAL SUNDAY TALK AND WHAT IT INDICATES—SMALL HOPE FOR THE CAERPET-BAGGERS, President Grant’s remarks mado Inst evening con- ecrning the Southern question attracted gencral atten- tion hero to-day, and aro thought virtually to scttle the dispute in South Carolina and Louisiana, Hesaid:— 111 were to recognize the republican Governors they would have to be sustained by military toree, and I think the entire people are tired of the military being employed to sustain a State governthent. If a repub- liean State government cannot sustain itself then it willhaveto give way. It a remedy {s required let Congress and not the President provide it, ‘Tho suggestion In tho last sentence has developed a desire on the democratic side to have the House of Representatives recognize both Hampton and Nicholls, anda resolution to this eftect may be brought in to- morrow, It {isa matter of little consequence whether itis done or not, The Nicholls ond Hampton govern- ments, whother formally recognized now or not, a ‘the only ones which aro self-sustaining in their States, andit is perfectly well understood that Mr. Hayes, ‘when he comes in, will withdraw the troops from tho: States and allow them to govern themselves, making only the condition that peace, order and equal justice shall be maintained by the State governments, Mr, Pinchback, who 18 hore, says positively that as regards Louisiana there 1s no doubt that tho Nicholls government will re-establish peace and order, and that no other can. He says the great mass of the people sustain it and will readily obey ‘it. General George A. Sheridan has gone to Columbus, it 1s understood, to say the same thing to Governor Hayes and to inform him of the real condition ot things in Louisiana. Ho ts an old acquaintance of Governor Mayes and is an opponent of the.Packard Sigurpation, PRESIDENT HAXES’ SOUTHERN POLICY—THE TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN. In a despatch sent from here to a New York paver and telegraphed back here, it is asserted that statements aro.made in a letter received bere from Columbus and “by authoriny,” that Governor Hayes has not mado up his mind as to a Southern policy, and cannot tell what it will be, so far as it relates to Loursiana and South Carolina; that the question of deciding between two rival factions in the two States is not one which should be settled without grave and careful considera- tion, &ca Therv are sufficient reasons to believe that this despatch totally misrepresents Mr. Hayes, In the first place he has not allowed any one to speak for him “by authority’? on this or any otber subject. Then there is a letter in town from Governor Hayes himself, which your correspondent has road, ond which approves in the most explicit and direct man- ner of the speech of Mr. Charles Foster, Iasi woek, in which he expressed his confident behef that Mr. Fayes’ Southern policy would be such as the people of Louisi- ‘ana and South Carolina desired. Again, it 1s known here, by despatches received from Now Orleans, that Bishop Wilmer, of Louisiana, who last week visited Governor Hayos at Columbus and laid before. him the deplorable situation of Lou siana, telegraphed to New Orleans at the close of his visit:—“Lot our people remaim absolutely quict,’? which shows sufficiontly that he was satisiled with bis conversation with the Governor, Finally, it is certain that Mr, Hayes sees just as well as President Grant that ‘the entire people are tired of the military being employed to sustain a State govern- ment, and that if a republican State government can- not sustain itself then it will have to give way.” Rumors that Governor Hayes means to, or may per- haps sustain Packard and Chamberlaiy, are put forth here by anxious carpet baggere, who would like noth- ing so wellas to to sce tho electoral count fall, be- cause in that case they hope to see Senator Morton, their most zealous ally, installed inthe White House as President of the Senate, to which office it 1s known he now aspires in such @ contingency. It is well understood by the carpet baggers that the only way to strengthen tho filibusters and enable them to obstruct the corint, is to cause it to be believed that Mr. Hayes means to support Chamberiain and Packard. Hence Ihese rumors, which ‘will no doubt be repeated, but which are undoubtedly false. . Governor Hayes cannot property speak of his policy antil he is declared President. When tho count is completed and he is declared elected then he will un- doubtedly be heard from. Meantime one thing 1s posi- tively certain—he adheres to evory word of his letter of acceptance, and that covers the Southern question satisfactorily, ——.-——- FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

On tho 10th inst., about midday, a very severe gale Passed over these islands, Shortly after twelve o'clock the wind began to blow very (resh from the north, Suddenly, avout one o'clock, it increased, and ina fow mingtes & tremendous gale was blowing and continued to blow for about two hours. Notwith- standing the short duration of the storm the record of damage done to life and property is a heavy one, The pilot gig Marcell», with | her crew, was, in o!l probability, lost, The gig lett Master's Bay, near the lighthouse, in pursuit of a ves~ sel that was approaching the land from the southwest. At tho beginning of the gale she was seen making her course a! right; but after the weather had moder- ated the Marceila was nowhere to be seen, It is sup- posed that she was cupsized at the very beginning of the gale, and perisved with all hands ou board. The foliowing persons composed the crew:—Alexanaer Brangman, branch pilot; Samuel Bassett, Clements Bassett, Charles Wilson and Heory Douglass. PAMAGE TO PROVERTY, : The damage to property 18 extensive. ‘The root was blown trom the quarters of the olllcers ot the Eignty- seventh regiment, The encampments of the Royal ertillery und Royal engineers were levelled; some sinte was torn from the residence of the Postnasier General; several trees werv uprooted or denuded of their = branches; the sbhippmg in port was driven across to the St. avid’s Island side of the harbor; garden produce was annihilated, and vegetation generally looked as if a heavy frost had rested upon it.

Tho Premier of the local governmont admitted that the government had been using the old seal. Tlie Court expressed astonishment at such contempt for Her Ma- jesty’s authorized and expressed opinion, and said thut all acts requiring the great seal done since 1869 were tota'ly void. If this statement is authentic Nova Scotin is teft to- day without a Parliament and without a government, with all grants of marriage licenses, consequently mar- riages and all commissions since 1869, totally void, The greatest excitement prevails in consequence, The Chief Justice, after intimating that 1t would requiro imperial legisiation to reetity the matter, adjourned tue Court for ten days fora full inquiry, BANK MANAGER APPOINTED, Moxrreat, Feb, 26, 1877.

AN ASSASSINATION BUGABOO, Aroughly dressed and rough looking man arrived here last night and went at once to the Executive office, which he found closed. He then went to tbo Legisia- tive Hall and inquired for some leading republican member, and upon being introduced to a well known gentleman he took him aside with very inysterious uir, and alter considerable circumlocution announced that be was a, resident of an Onio town, but did business in Bultimore, and that be had come here to warn Hayes of tho conspiracy to assassinate him, The Heranp correspondent was now called to hear tho fall detutls of this bloodthirsty scheme. Alter hearing 1t he is satisfied that the man isa “beat” of the first water and that his story is of the cock and bull order, and yet thinks proper to repeat it as given tor what it 18 worth. 7N#% OUIO MAN'S STORY. ‘The stranger s2id while in Baltimore recently he was introduced to certain partics where he boarded who were very. rampant democrats and Roman Catholics, Tho nows = that the Electoral Commission had given Louisimna to Hayes set thero men nearly wild with disgust, and they questioned tha Ohio man asto his place of residence and politics, From remarks be had heard tho Ohio man suspected something wrong, and told his associatus he was a resident Of Nashville and a red hot democrat, days later bie e4 questioned him further, and thinking tis answers wore satisfactory, induced him to Jgin a lodge, where he learned that arrangements wero being perfected to assassinate Hayes while en route to Washington, Theso desporate men are armed with improved revolvers and bound together by an oath, The Obio man entered into the plan, and, as he says, was given money to go to Nashville fora tew choice recruits.

ERIE TROUBL - | THE LENGYASH AND SCOTCH BONDHOLDERS RESTIVE-—MONEY WANTED, Erie Railroad matters wero discussed yesterday in certain quarters with considerable interest, as soine rather unpleusant rumors wero allout of a nature like'y to upset the “Amended Scheme of Reconstruc- tion” and cause an immediate foreclosure and subse quent wiping out of the capital stock, It appears in 1865 un agreeinent was mado by the English and Scotch bondholders to defer application for the paymbnt of intercst on the First Consolidated gula bonds, and to fund their coupons until September 1, 1876. It was also agreed that if the money was forth- coming at that timo other parties should be able to come in of payment of $10 per shure of common kK.

MONEY TO BK RAISED, Tho Important rumor that was exciting the opera- tors in tho street yesterday afternoon was tho tnet that Mr. Jewett had not tne money tv pay the interest, und that ho had prepared papers ‘petitioning the courts to give him power to raiso the necessary funds—some $600,000, This would, of course, cutail tho isxue of additional securities and add another $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 to the present funded debt’ ot about $140,000,060, The tact also that news was received frou?

Judge Otterboorg made a motion to strike out rule 15 altogether, and Judge Wandell said that bis clerk aid more work while he was in the court than any two men surrounding bim, and mostvl the jadges seemed willing to mako the same statement, as fur as their per- sonal clerks were concerned, Judge Ouerbourg’s motion to strike out rule 13 was lo-t by a vote of 7 to The question of appointing an interpreter for the Court of Special Sessions in place of Andreas Wiliman, resigned, was then brought up and a mouen to lay t subject over til the next inveting was made by Judge Smith, This did not seem to meet with npproval at once; but «a subsequent motion by Judge Murray to adjourn was carried by a vote of 6 to 4, STATEN ISLANDERS IN ARMS. Tho greatest excitement prevailed last night at Staten Island, the occasion being a ramor that the ferry company’s pior at Stapleton was to be destroyed. It will bo remembered that in Uctober, 1475, the agents of the Vanderbilt hne attempted to destroy the pier of the opposition ferry, bat were frustrated by the peo | plo of the island, The reason for destroying the pier wos to break up the opposition line, The protext given for the attempt was that the pier extenaed be- | yond the legal limits, The matter was referred to the | courts and decided in fayor of Vanderbiit’s ling about two weeks ago, Tue Pilot Commissioners resolved that the pice should be taken down, The Staten Islanders seem resoived that it shall not, Fearing that av attempt would be made to pull ft | down last might they prepared for forcibie resistance, Fifty speoial otliaers were sworn in by the Deputy Sheil to watch the structnre daring the nigh} Cap. | tain Chambers, of the terryboat Middletown, who | attempted to break down a part of the pier by butting it with the bow of his boat yesterday afternoon, wos arrested on a warrant issued by Justice Garrett. Tt seems Irkely that there will be trouble ahead tf the attompt tv destroy the pier should be made. THE KELSEY CASE.
