Washington Letter from 1877 on Hayes policy and southern troops
The piece discusses President Hayes delaying decisions on Louisiana and South Carolina after the Senate adjourns, with Democrats urging immediate troop withdrawal and Chamberlain and Packard urging troops remain. It notes many new appointments, a debate over Frederick Douglass as Marshall, Cabinet meetings, and anticipated civil service reforms led by Evarts and Schurz. It also surveys Interior Department scrutiny, ongoing political maneuvering in the press, and broader federal strategy toward the South.
