Marshal Packard,

The Louisiana Radicals make great
ado about accepting the logical results
of tho compromise in which Mr.. Hoar's
committee bargained that they should
retain the most impartant of the al
vantages which they had gained by
force and fraud. They now set up
furious believing because the Lower
House of the Legislature since its re-
organization under the compromise
has admitted four Conservative men,
bers declared elected by KellOggs 8
Returning Beard last fall whose seats
had been filed by the Hahn House
with Radicals making no pretence of
any right thereto,-filied by substitu-
tiOn upon the withdrawal of the Con-
servative members after Sheridan's
raid last January. The seating of
these four members now gives the
Conservatives majority on joint bal
lot, and Marshal Packard declares that
his party never would have consented
to any adjustment in which such a re-
suit was provided. By way Of re-
prisal, and without any pretence of
lawful justification, a resolution has
been introduced into the Senate.
where the Radicals have majority,
looking to tho expulsion OF Conserv-
alive and the seating of a Radical
member i'm his place. 1t certainly is q
fragrant piece of impudence for Pack
ard and his friends to claim that Shcr-
idan gave them a fee-simple to the
State OF Louisiana when he took pos
session of the Legislature in their be-
half, or that Mr.. Wheeler's compro-
mise so far revolutionized the system
of parliamentary government in this
country as to create Legislature
which has not the right of deciding
upon tine election of its own members.
The members seated have every posi-
Bile Endorsement. They were elected
by the people. The election was con-
fessed even by Kellogg's rascally re-
turning board, affirmed by the honest
legislature whom Sheridan turned out
of doors, denied by nobody. The only
vital point in the Wheeler compro-
mise is the Individual pledge given by
Conservative members and leaders
not to impeach or otherwise disturb
Kellogg for his past crimes and mis-
demeanors. Mr.. Packard, therefore,
has no occasion to make q row If he
finds the Legislature eimpeaching cor
rupt Radical State officials like State
Auditor Clinton, and doing other
things to which Mr.. Packard as a
prominent and ambitious member OF
the Rndicai party objects. There is
no more scandalous feature, of this
whole Louisiana business than the use
which Packard, as Chairman OF the
Radical Executive Committee of Lou
isiana, has made of his power, his
patronage, aud Of the Federal soidiery
as United States Marshal for Louisi-
ana. If President Grant. had either
any respect tor himself or for public
opinion, or any desire to compose the
turbulence which he has fostered in
the politics of Louisiana, he would
long ago have filed Mr.. Packard S
place with more useful public serv-
ant and less unscrupuleus po litician.

The Comm iss'oners of the Ohio
Reform Farm, removed by Governor
Allen, refuse TO vacate their offices.
They claim that the Governor has no
pow er TO remove and appoint, save
with the concurrence of the Senate
The new Commissioners having m ade
formal demand HHd been refused, will
carry the mattertO the Supreme Court.
The Columbus Dispotoh, discussing
the question, very pointedly says:
"The matter regarding Jthe legality
of the appointment of the successor
to- Mr.. Howe, al the Reform Farm, in
a nutshell, is, that the Constitution
provides that while the Senate is in
session, the appointing power shall be
exercised conjointly by the Governor
and Senate, and that when the Senate
is not in session that the power shall
be exercised by the Governor. There
fore, what the Governor and Senate
can do copjointly during the session
of the Legislature, the Governor can
do whtle the Legislature IS not in scs-
sion. Mr.. Howe will admit the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Harper if made
during the session of the Senate and
by its confirmation would have been
legal, as the time has expired for which
he was appointed. Ii that is true, the
action of the Governor after the ad-
journment of the Legislature iseequal-
ly binding" r.2urIj a.a e..s. fttt..

AUGUSTA, GA, April 26.-Memorial
day was observed here with unusually
imposing ceremonies. The corner
stone of the Confederate monument
was laid. In his speech, Gen. Evans
said H '-
"Let us do nothing to keep alive the
passions of war. To study its lessons
is pi udence /; to profit by its teachings
is wisdom; but TO stir up old animos-
tiles is madness. The voice Of the
monument will not be for war, but for
peace. II will say to us, The Con-
federacy has expired ITS great life
went out on the purple tide Of blood
that flowed from the hearts of its sons.
We have buried it. We do otintend
to exhume It's remains. Weare utter
ly defeated, and we dismiss our re-
sentiments. Sadly we parted with eur
old cross and stars, which we followed
through many storms ct shot and
shell; but we take with the true hand
of Southern honor the staff that holds
the flag of stars and stripes. l respond
