SENATOR BRUOE APPROVES HATES. Senator Bruoe, of Mississippi, suggested to the President, who granted him an in tarview, that the best way ont of tbe oompliostions in Louisians and Sonth Carolina was a new eleotion in these States. Mr. Brnoe expressed his approval of the new Southern policy, and hia belief that it would be for the but interests of the oolored people of tbe Sonth if they, u a nee, can be removed from the position whieh they now oecnpy of solid antago nism to the property owners and the intel ligence of that aeotion, brought about through oarpet-bag maobinations. Special to Enquirer*Sun.] Washington, March 13.—Hon. Hamil ton Fish oalled to pay his rupeots to Mr. Btaphani to-day, at his Biek room, in the National Hotel. Mr. Fish wm cordially reoeived by the sick man, who extended his attenuated band from under the bed oover, saying, “I am glad to me Mr. Fish.” Mr. Fish—I have oalisd to am yon at the earliest moment I could, after being relieved from my public dntiu. Mr. Stephens—Succession in office is one of the fundamental principles in our republican form of Government. Mr. Fish—Yea; it is happily constitu ted, and it ia gratifying to me to know that my snooessor is a man of sterling worth and great ability. After a few further preliminary inquir- iu the conversation turned npon Presi dent Hayes’ Southern polioy. Mr. Stephens—I am glad to see that Hr. Hayes is shaping his policy something after that of Gen. Washington, by oaliing aronnd him good and tried men without regard to their political or partisan ante cedents, but oaliing to hia aid on this great oriais of onr countrymen, irrespective of party,and assigning them duties beoanae of their peouliar fitness for them, under the oironmstanoes that now Burronnd 1 him, looking alone to the good of the eonntry, and not merely to the formation of party. If he shall follow ont this policy to its legitimate conelnsion, his adminis tration will prove a success, and confi dence will be restored to the eonntry. Mr. Fish—It sums to be Mr. Hayes' polioy to give the home offioe to home men. Mr. Stephens—Yes, and if he will give tbue to men of eharseter and standing at home, men who have the confidence and rupeet of the people, without reference to their party affiliations, but who socepts offioe u a high trust, rather than for its emolnments, Mr. Hayu will loon find his administration growing in the hearts and confidenoa of the people every where. Demoorata may aooept of these offlou from Mr. Hayes without any compromise of prinoiplu. As to a polioy for Louisiana and South Carolina u wall as other Southern Statu, the desire is to be left to themselves—to govern themselvu as may seem best to them, and all Mr. Hayu ran or need do is to see that their governments are re publioan in form, and that they obey the laws and keep the peace. If he will do this the oorrnpt carpet-bag governments will disappear, and oonatitutional, peace fnl governments take their plaoes. This will bring peace and oontentment to the Sonth and prosperity to the eonntry. know my people. They are law-abiding if left to make and ezeonte their own laws u in other ssotions of onr eonntry. Secure to them this boon, and they will be, irrespective of raw or color, prosperous, contented and happy. Mr. Fisb—I perceive, Mr. Stephens, that your strength is not equal to yonr will to talk, and I will now bid yon good bye, promising to oall end see yon again very soon. Mr. Stephens—Good-bye, bear my kind regards to General and Mrs. Grant. THE EAST. TURKEY AND HONTXNEOEO. Constantinople, Maroh 13. — The Connoii of Turkish Ministers on Monday deolsred the Montenegrin demands for the oeBsion of Niosic and the territory on the Albanian frontier, are inedmisible. The Montenegrin delegates appear resolv ed to adhere to their demands. They will confer again to-day with Safoet Pubs. M. Phillip Ohistics remains here as tha Servian diplomatic agent, LONDON TIMES ON THE SITUATION. London, Maroh 13.—The Times in its leading artioie says: To-day will be mem orable in the history of the Eutern (Jura tion. The Cabinet meets to oonsider the terms of an agreement among the Pow ers. It does notoontain any argument to nse ooeroion in any form. The Powers will employ their dipiomstio influence in favor of reforms the Conference deoided to be neoesury; bnt farther than this they will not go to a time fixed within whieh, however, they are to nse their in fluence, or after whieh they are to con sider that their efforts have failed. Whon the proposal whioh Lord Derby submits to his oollesgue has been acoepted by the other European Powers, it is expeoted Russia will declare herself satisfied, and demobilization will follow in due oonrse. A protocol, to be signed by the Porte and countersigned by the Powers, ia the form of agreement whioh hu fonnd moat favor. Tbe artioie continues: We believe if England acoepla this, all the other Pow ers will. It then depends upon the tem per in whioh the Forte receives the agree ment, and the acts with whioh it follows it, to show whether we are on the path of final paoifloation. Hitherto the Snltan’a government has shown no duire to oome to terms with Russia. We ran only hope that the Porte will not by notion or inac tion, by pnrposeleu defianoe or ill-timed obstinaoy, frustrate the sincere attempts of the other Statu to avert war. WHAT OXN.

From Deacon Richard Smith’s Cincinnati Ua- aatt*.] Washington, March 7.—Were anybody to undertake to piok the maddut and most disgusted man in Washington to night, he would have a hard time, for it ia very diffloult to distinguish between the Radioal politicians in regard to their feel ings. The whole Maine crowd all through is angry and enraged at what they oon sider the grievous slander whieh hu been pat npon them and their State by Presi- dent Hayes. Blaine's anger finds vent in the Senate Ohamber, in his open uunlt upon the Southern polioy of the new President. Mr. Hamlin goes around de nouncing Hayu and ail hia croniu. Mr. Hale does not feel qnite ao bad, beoanae be did not really want a Cabinet position for himeelf, bat Mr. Frye, wbo did want it and worked bard to get it, ia mad dear through. They mode the arrangement that u Mr. Hale duired to stay in the House until he oonld obtain an election to the Senate, whioh he thinks pos sible in 1880, when he hopu Mr. Blaine will be eleoted Prui dent, Mr. Hale would decliue the posi tion if it were offered to him, end Mr. Frye should have it. In tbe oonrse of time Mr. Hayes eame to Washington, end did offer or make overtaru to Mr. Hale ooneerning e position in the Cabinet. Mr. Hale signified that he did not duire to go into the Cabinet, and tbe machinery was at onoe set in motion in favor of Mr. Frye. To the ntter surprise of thia polit ical orowd, Mr. Hayes manifuted a look of interut in Mr. Frye, and a laok of cu riosity concerning him that wu most dis tressing. Mr. Frye began to see that there were grut difficulties in tbe way, and so Mr. Blaine and Mr. Hamlin, and Mr. Hale together took up his rause in earnest, and went to Bee Mr. Hayu about it. They had a very interesting inter view. Mr. Hsyes signified what bis feel ings were in regard to Mr. Hale, but did not pnt tb* offer at all on the ground that it was made in acknowledgement of any obligation to Mr. Blaine. They urged Mr. Frye’s appointment u skillfully as they eould, bnt Mr. Hayea frankly told them that if Mr. Hale did not go into the Cabinet he would probably look outside of the State of Maine in New England for an offioer to represent that section of the oonntry. Thereupon, they asked him whom he was considering, or had thought of, in New England for the plaoe. The President took from his pocket a card bearing a number of namu, from wbiob he proceeded to reed. He first rud the name of John M. Forbes of Bos ton. “Whet do yon uy to thst name 1" be asked of his visitors. Mr. Biaina promptly replied: “I nothing about him Mr. Preeident, exupt bis nose, that would be prominent in the Cabinet." “Well,” said Mr. Hayu, there ia Gov. Rioe of Massachusetts. What do yon say to him?” “He wu buried five years ago,” an swered one of tbue precious gentlemen. “Well,” raid Mr. Hayes, reading on,” there iB ex-Senator Gragin of New Hampshire. What do you think of hia name ?” “Ob, well, he belongs to tbe past, too. He would not do, answered Mr. Hale. Next the President reed from bis card the name of Senator Edmonds of Ver mont. “What have yon got to say of Mr. Edmnnds of Vermont, gentlemen?” This wu too muoh for the venerable Hamlin, wbo oonld not restrain himself longer and broke in with “Mr. Pruident, go into some graveyard, for God's sake, end take yonr man.” The President took all these oritioisms with entire oslmness, end did not allow himself to be et all offended by them, and the interview olosed without the slightest satisfaction being given to either of the three. Mr. Frye is reported to give as e rea son for his not going into tbe Cabinet that he did not feel (hat he oonld support the President's Southern policy; that Paokard he believed, ought to be reoognized u Governor of Louisiana. But tbe trnth is that be was never offered a plaee at all, and neither was Mr. Blaine offered a place Bt all. Mr. Blaine and his aet now pretend that the offer to Mr. Hale wbs made merely as a stop to Zaoh Chandler, and not at all in acknowledgment of any obligation wbiob Mr. Hayea is nnder to Mr. Blaine. t, NAD’S INTERVIEW WITH lllft FRADU I.ENCY. Hartford (Con.) Timas. I J. Madison IK.—“Wo oome, Mr. Presi dent—my friend Anderson and myself, from tbe plaoe of confinement in tho Capitol to wbiob an uuprinoipled Homo- oratio House oonderaned its for remain ing firm and faithful to the party and to you." Returning B. llayes.—“Ob, all—ye-es; glad to aee yon, gentlemen. Pray bo usnred I am not insensible of tbe great service whioh a kind and mysterious Providenoe, iu his own inserutable wis dom, has permitted yon to ronder to the owe of religion and pi—I mean, to the oanae of Republican principles; and we know how nearly that oause is associated with the oause of true reli—” J. Madison IV.—“Wo feel, Mr. Presi dent, if it's all the same to you, that we have done a mighty big work for you, and that we are fairly entitled to a little an’tbiu’—a fair reward for what we did, for if we hadn’t done it, where would you have bun? And Kedfleld, of tbe Cincin nati Commercial, admitted that we had the almightiest toughest job on hand after we had thrown ont all the parishes that oonld even be eharged with a single case of intimidation—you know he confessed how it was, in that latter of his, where he raid that even then wo had four or five thousand solid Tildou majority still to dispose of, and how wo were going to got eround that ha oonldn’t sac ; bnt we just went in and did it! And dont’t you forgot it!” Returning R. llayes.—“Yes, you had a hard time, we ail know ; and it was a ser vice for whioh the whole party canuot be too gratefnl, for it was a service to tbe ranae of eivil service reform, and an ines timable aid to tbe interests of peace, re ligion, good order, and a republican form of government." J. Madison IV.—“But, Mr. President, soft words butter no parsnips. I could have Bold tbe eleetoral vole of Lonisiaua for a couple of hundred thousaud dollars, if I bad really tried—and I am a poor man of striot integrity—sprang from poor bat honut parentage, and humbly trying to live a blameless Christian life, in a humble way, down on the Rod river, if the peaky Democrats win only let me. I must have money. The New Orleans poetoffloe, or better yet, the Custuni House—that would do me for a while; and Paokard oan be kept up by troops. My friend, Gen. Anderson bore, wants a lit tle something. I eau get ulong with the Custom Honse, and four years will do me, for you know I have found out how to go back of the relnrns, he, he, be.' Bnt I must be provided for; the Demo crats down there Bre mighty wratby, swearing they've been swindled, with a good deal more of that sort of nonsense, and they’ll go a gunning for me." R. U. R.—“My dear Wells, you are ? nite right. You must be provided for. t is really wonderful what you have been through. It iB bnt another instance of the watohfnl oare of Providenoe. Let us pray that all things may be so ordered ana settled upon tbe best and surest foun dations that peace and happiness, truth and jnstiee, religion and piety, may be utablished among us for ail generations. Good bye, my dear Wells ; I'll remember yon; but here comes Morton hobbling iu —and Cameron too. I’ll see yon again. Good bye. Don’t forget to pray for me." THE TWO TELEPHONES. ruoFEssim grey’s invention sends music FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT. It is 284 miles from Chioago to Detroit, and on Tuesday evening. Much 6, a suc cessful experiment with the musical tele phone was made between tbe two oitiu. The instrument need was that invented by Professor Elisha Grey, and it is some what different from . the instrument in vented by Professor Bell, of Cambridge, Mass. The Detroit Free I'ress says that tbe distance between tbe two oities was the longest eironit yet tried, and the ex periment wu entirely suooessfui. Mr. M. C. Kellogg was introduced ae the lecturer of tho ooouion, and he gave the fol lowing interesting faota about the two kinds of telephones and the prinoiplu on whioh they work: The word “tele, phono,” primarily, means to make mnaieal sounds st n distanoo. In its seoondary meaning it is applied to the apparatus which sends musical sounds telegraphical ly by means of eleotrioity,eleotro-magnet- ism and certain aoooustic applianou. When noises are repeated in regular or der. at a oertain rata per seoond, the re sult is a musioal sound of some value or other. For instanoa, when a sound is re peated at tbe rate of 300 times per sec ond, the result is a oertain musical note nr sound, to which a name may be given. Whenever any other person produoes sounds at the same rate per seoond ha reproduces this musioal sound. Sounds repeated at the rate 600 times per aeoond produce another musioal sound. Sounds repeated at the rate of 700 timu per uc- ond produce still another musioal sound, and so on. If a system oan be devised ao that a person in Chioago oan prodnoa sounds in Detroit at the rale of 300, 600, 700, 1,700 or any other number of vibra tions at pleasure the theory of tha telephone, whioh I have defined to mean the production of musical aouuds at a diatanoe, hu bun accomplished. This Mr. Grey has done. Ilow bo has accomplished this I shall at tempt to explain. We all know that when a current of eleetrioity passes in many convolutions aronnd a piece of soft iron tho iron becomes a magnet, or is endowed with magnetic power. When the ourrent of eleetrioity is interrnpted the power ia lost. On this aotion of natural foreu ia based the usual application of eleetrioity to telegraphy and other useful arts. It was uotieed by Charles Gratton Page, a countryman of ours,who has gnat reputa tion as an oleotrician, as long ago u 1831, that at tho instant when the iron of the electro-magnet was magnetized there wu a thud or sound and another thud or sound at tbe instant when the iron wu demagnetized. All wbo are interested cuu find this mentioned in “Tyndall’s Notes on Eleetrioity," repnblished in this eonntry. It was afterward notioed, by very carefnl measurement, that the bar of iron is elongated when magnetized and returns to its original length when de magnetized. This is dne to molecular aotion, and is the cause of the thnd or sound notioed by Page. It iB well known that a man in Chicago ran magnetize and demagnetize a piooe of iron iu Detroit by means of tho eleotrio ourrent and tele graph wires. He can thus make tha molecular thud or sound, of which I have spoken. If he oan magnetize or demag netize the iron and make the thud or sound at a given rate per second, he oan reproduce in Detroit a given mnairal sound. By means of Mr, Grey’s trans mitter apparatus, whioh I shall hereafter show yon and explain, he hu been able to accomplish this to great perfection. I will now explain the receiving apparatus by which music played at a diatanoe ia made audible here. It consists of s large sonudiDg box, on wnioh is mounted an electro-inuguet of suitable constrnetion. The box enlarges tbe noise of the thud or sound whioh takes places in mnsioal rate in tho iron. There is still another prin ciple involved, of wbiob Mr. Grey makes use. I mentioned the elongation of tha iron at the time of magnetization. Mr. Grey constructs his apparatus so that the iron strikes tke box at eaoh elongation.

Speaker Randall’a Valedictory to tbe House. Speaker Randall, in his valedictory to the House, thus comments npon the great national fraud. He looks to time to rem edy the great wrong done the country; “A majority ia this House, represent- ing a majority of votes in the Union, and, as we believe and know, a majority of tbe eleotora duly chosen at the reoent eleotion for President and Vioe Pruident, has been made to ohuoso between acqui escence or usurpation, or reaching the right through oivil commotion. Tbe Deiuocratio party yielded temporary pos session of the administration rather than entail upon the people a civil war, with all its attendant horrors. There are some who will condemn tho permission ws have given to tho results of a law whioh was not administered in tbe spirit of its orea- tion, nor, as we belivo, according to the letter of its provision. We have done all this in preference to tbe danger of anarchy end bloodshed. Time will surely remedy these wrongs, for there is in the American mind a desire to do jus tice. That remedy mast oome. Impatient as we may be for its arrival, until then we demand, os we have tbe right to de mand, the reign of equal jnatioe; that the sword shall cease to strike prostrate the government of States; that the oivil shall be superior to the military rale; that the people shall be freed now and forever from the shackles of recent misgovern- ment.

Washington, Maroh 9.—Ex-Gov. Gro ver, of Oregon, submitted the following resolution in the Senate to day : Resolved, That the 13 memorials here tofore presented to tbe Senate by Hon. J. H. Mitchell, purporting to be signed by 269 citizens of the State of Oregon, reci ting that it was currently reported and generally believed that tho election of L. ,P. Grover as a Senator of the United Htates was procured by bribery, corrup tion, and other unlawful means in the Legislature of the State of Oregon, and that the said L. F. Grover did corruptly and fraudulently issue a cerliiicate of election to one E. A. Cronin as a Presi dential Elector on December 6th, 1876, and that the said L. F. Grover did bear false witness before the Senate Commit tee on or about January 6th, 1877, be now referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, which shall thoroughly in vestigate and report upon tho foregoing oharges, with power to send for persons and papers. Agreed to without a divis ion. The Candor «f Nr* llayes. We desire to praise Mr. Hayes for every aot, omission or quulity of character about which it is possible to justly say a favora ble word in his behalf; and accordingly we praise him for the candor of his iuaus gural address. In the platitudes and generalities of that performance, among its declarations, notions, and reservations, and especially in its remarks about conciliation in the South, and about civil service reform, tbis President—who was not elected—careful ly and oandidly refrains from saying a word or indulging in any allusion upon the great and fundamental subject of cheating in elections, lio does not prom ise that hia party will not cheat hereafter, and he does not intimate that such cheat ing is not a good and lovely thing, con ducive to public virtue, and likely to re - suit in the elevation of religious and moral men to offioe. For tbis oaudor and this conscientious means of contact points suitably arranged, puts to tho telegraph line from Ghiosgo to Detroit an eleotrio battery power. Each return of the bar takes the battery off. The vibration of the bar “0” thus transmits to the line a number of eleotrio Impulses corresponding to its fundament al. These act npon the electro-magnet in Detroit to a number of times corres ponding to the fundamental of the tuning bar at Chicago, producing musical sound in the manner explained. The key of “D” noted upon will produce the sound of “D" in Detroit, and the key “F” the sound “F.” If the keys “D” and “F” are both depressed at tho same time, both sets of electric impulses exist in the wire at the same time, und both are made audible by the receiver here. Owing to complica tions of electric oirouits, which it is not necessary to explain, the apparatus for transmitting tunes is so constructed that but one tone is put to wire at a time. In Mr. Grey’s system of mnltiple transmis sion of sounds for telegraphio purposes as many as eight and sixteen tones have co existed iu a wire at the same time and all have been reoeived in perfeot order at tho receiving end. PKOFEBHOU HELL, OF BOSTON, has been working in the same field to some extent. Latterly he has been paying attention to the transmission of vocal Kouuds telegraphically, and his results have been extensively noticed in the pa pers. Many of the principles which Mr. Hell employs are the same as those whieh Mr. Grey uses. Mr. Grey’s thoughta were early turned in the direction which Mr. Hell has recently taken. He did not fol low the subject as thoroughly as he did the subject of multiple transmission be cause hu did not see the ultimate good which was lo oooio from it. If Mr. Bell develops this branch of the snbjeot to practical results, I am Bare Mr. Grey will be the first to give him credit for what belongs to him. I mention Mr. Bell be cause many have oonfounded the labors of the two, and it is well to bear the dif- ferenoe in mind. Yesterday I had anoh a bad cold I oonld not speak.
