TUE TROOPS TO BE REMOVED FROM NEW
Ny

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Since it has be-
come known that the President intends to
remove the troops from New Orleans whe-
Their the commission succeeds or not in adj
iusting the political dispute in Louisiana,
the extreme Radicals have exerted them
selves to bulldoze the President or with
draw from him the support of part OF his
Cabinet. The howl sent up by Blaine,
Wade, and Townsend was followed to-day
by All attempt to shake Evarts by quoting
him against himself. Large bills, printed
in iob-type, and posted on the bill-boards
about the city, display conspicuouslv the
following extract from one OF Evarts's
speeches before the Electoral Commission,
and creates quite as much OF
SENSATION
as the Blaine and Wade letters 8" Hear Will
liam NJ. Evarts before the Electoral Com
mission, February Is, 1877: Now for these
poor people Of Louisiana. If the Federal
power now undertakes to thwart, to uproot,
this scheme OF energetic law, to preserve
society there from destruction, and leaves
the uniriepded, uncducated. simple black
people to the fate from which the State
stroye hard to save them, say that you will
have made them by that action the victims
of your Constitution; for your Constitution
gave them the suffrage, and they are to be
slaughtered for having the gift found in
their hands. say that you make them the
sacrifices to the triumph of the Government
over the rebellion. | say that such self
abascmcnt of the powers Of this Government
is beyond All cure. 1t teaches the sad lesson
that the American people in the attempt to
make good the largencss OF its promises,
and to work out the glory of its proud mani
festo OF freedom and equality before the
law. finds itself thwarted by the exhibition
OF violence in this turbulent population,
and forced with its own hand to crush the
methods by which the State has sought
| alas! how vainly-to curb and redress this
| menace and this mischief to its peace"
TO THE PRESIDENTS AID.
Stanley Matthews has telegraphed for
rooms at the Ebbit House, and comes, it is
said, at tue Presidents request. When the
critical Hknont for Louisiana arrives he
will be near to advise Mr.. Hayes, and if
necessary strengthen his purpose. 1t is
semi-officially stated that Mr.. Hayes says lie
! does not desire party quarrel, but will
not avoid it if it results from his attempts
to do what he believes to be right. g..

Hayes Southern Policy.

NEW ORLEANS, March 24.-The Times
publishes IN interview in which 1t says u
prominent Conservative who is supposed
to know not only the sentiments of the
President with regard to the Louisiana
case, but also u be in the confidence OF
Governor n cholls and his advisors. In
answer to the question he said: VI
course l don't know positively the rea-
son which determined the cabinet on
sending commission, but from what l
know of this whole business l think l
can give very close guess. For q long
time Hayes has not been in full accord
with the Republican party in matters re-
lating to the South. His idea was tn at
some policy onght to be adopted which
would bring to the support of the Repub-
can party the Dative white conserva-
tives in the South, and which would
break up the color line. l think he
had this idea in view when he wrote bis
letter accepting the Presidential nomIna-
ton. OF course he did not have in mind
the details of this policy, or how in the
event of his election he would carry 1t
out. Before be became President, how
ever, events occurred which compelled
him TO give a decided expression to his
views and to particularize some OF the
more important features Of his policy.
He was even compelled to promise that
if he were permitted to reach the Presi-
dency through the Electors! Commission
that he would not allow troops to perform
police duty in the South, and that the
conservative governments IN Louisiana
and South Carolina should be allowed to
exercise their authority without any
hindrance from him. 1t must not
be supposed that these promises
were made voluntarily, on the contrary
they were extorted from him. The fill
busters had it in their power to delay the
count and thus defeat his inauguration
and they permitted the count to proceed
only on the promise of the friends OF
Hayes, authorized by him, that the
Nichols and Hampton governments
should meet with no hinderance.

The Louisiana Commission.

WAsuINGToS, March 25.-The Presi
dent stated tonight that there was no
information regarding the LOUISIANA
Commission that could properly be made
public at present.
There is much conversation here about
the written pledges said 10 have been
given by President Hayes closest friends
and advisers, during the progress OF the
electoral count TO certain Democrats
The following are the facts: When
the flibusterilg in the House WAS at
its height, several Democratic Senators,
among whom was Senator Gordon, were
called into counsel by some OF the
Southern Representatives, who felt It to
be their duty 10 vote against all di'story
motions and 10 stand by the electoral
bill in coed faith. Senator Gordon
stated that he bad no responsibility rs 10
the count, inssmuch A. he was not Il
member Of the House, but be did feel
the responsibility Of protecting as far
a. he could the government OF Hampton
and the people Of South Carolina as
he had been especially aske1 70 do so,
and would therefore go 10 Foster, OF
Ohio. and Others, and know in advance
OF the completion OF the court what
was 10 be the fate Of South Carolina and
Louisiana. General Gordon did go with
John Young Brown, Of Kentucky, and
demanded q written pledge in his capsci.
" a. friend of the Hampton and
Nichols governments tbs. they should
not be disturbed might be the result ol
the court. 1t is alleged and rot denied,
that some such pledges IN writing
were given by S'anley Matthews
and Representative Foster.

Bond Robbers Arrested.

NEWARK, n. j., March 24.-Thomss
p. Somervile, New York lawyer, sp.
Piled to ex-detectiye Nettleship, last
November, stating that a friend had two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars OF
stolen Government bonds, and offered a
large reward to Nettleship t" secure an
sccomplice in the bond department at
Washington to convert them into money.
Nettleship, pretending to favor the propo-
sition, conferred with Secretary Morrill,,
and it was arranged that last evening
Somerville and his friend, George Ehgle,
said to be a faro bank keeper, &c, should
make over the bonds to Nettleshlp and
receive she money in return. Both
were at Nettleship's house according to
appointment, and were both arrested
while making transfer of some bonds
which were stolen from the Ocean Bank
OF New York. All had been cancelled
and registered, and were therefore worth
less. The swindlers had substituted
other names tor those by which they
were recorded, and thus hoped TO get
them cashed throuoh an sccomplice. The
names Of Perry Hensley, Leonard kesn,
and j. Ogden Snowden had been traudu-
lently inserted in the bonds taken last
night. The prisoners bail is fixed at
$4,000 each.

The Eastern Question.

LONDON, March 25.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg controverts the views Of
the English press relative to the protocol.
1t says the protocol presupposes the con-
clusion of peace with Montenegro and
the rehabilitation of the Turkish forces.
The conviction still prevails in st. Peters
burg that if the powers unanimously
hold decided language they will obtain
acceptance of their demands by the Porte
and the peace of Europe will be main
tanned. One thing is insdmissable,
viz: that Europe should compromise
herself the second time by the failure TO
achieve the result. The Constsntinople
and Montenegro delegates have again
conferred with Ssfvet Pssha The Porte
still refuses to cede Nicsics and Koutchin,
but evinces disposition to agree to the
other demsrd of the Montenegrins. The
latter, however, decline to renounce their
demands for Nicsics and Koutchin.
LONDON, March 25.-Reuter's tele-
gram from Constsntinople reports that
the Montenegrin delegates have tele-
graphed to Cettinye that the Porte per-
sists in its refusal to cede Nicsics, Kout.
shin and Kotatschin, and will only
grant rectfcstions of the frontier to.
ward Sebui, Psncani, Piva, Drobenck
and Charsntzi. The delegates ask
Prince Nikota how they are 10 act. 1t
is said that England advises the Porte
to cede Nicsics after dismant-
ling the Notifications, but
the Porte considers the cession
impossible; and even then, the same dis
patches say, group of deputies in the
Turkish Parliament intend shortly to
question the government on the subject of
Midhat Psshs's Punishment.
The garrison of Constantinople has
changed and replaced by troops from
Syria.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

The Philadelphia Times said, few
days ago, that when the West Virginia
papers had nothing else TO talk about
they talked about moving the Capital of
the State We don't know what West
Virginia papers the editor of the Times
reads, but suppose he gathers his West
Virginia mental fodder mainly from the
hsnswhs Gazette and the Clarksburg
Nsrrs But there are, however, premon-
ltorysymptoms in other quarters, that the
eye Of the Times man may be glsddened
byllghting upon an occasional paragraph
upon that subject in other West Virginia
papers before the summer is over. The
Parkersburg Sentinel Of this week raises
It's voice TO say that, if Charleston can
present no better claim to the location
OF the Capital in that iorlorn village of
negroes and political traders than the one
advanced, viz: that all the other public
institutions are located in other sections
oi the State, why, it has no claim at all
and that should end the matter.
Inc Senttnel is Of opinion and
The opinion seems to us to be
spretty sound one-thst questions of
public economy, accessibility and central
position ought to be controlling motives
III making a permanent location of our
political capital. Now, let us hear from
charleston on these points--points that
seem to possess good deal of vitality
IN the consideration of this question.
'ah her champions show that it will be
ah econimical stroke on behalf
Vi the people of the State, to
P'sce their capital in her keeping2
Is she the most accessible point of those
from which the people are permitted to
'uoosef Can she be reached by people
IRON every section of the State with as
lew miles of travel as can either Mar
"nsourg or Clsrksburg? Let us have
al essay from our bright friend, the IA
"S"hs Ga-stte, upon these points, pre-.
''h''hg US with facts, figures, statistics
and measurements.

THAT CCM MMIssION.

IT seems certain that Ex-Governor
BRovN, of Tennessee, Vice President OF
tina Texas Pacific Railroad scheme, is to
head Mr.. HAYES Commission, which is
TO proceed to Louisiana with pledge OF
administration aid to that railroad SUBJ
sidy in one hand, and an offer to allow
NICHOLS to be Governor provided two
limited States Seuators are added to the
waning Radical strength, in the other.
Who else will be on tho Commission
has not at this writing trsnspired, but 1t
i manifest that HAYES has
found great difficulty in securing
men of national standing to
sgree to do his dirty work. This COM
mission scheme is pure piece of job
berry and corruption, and men who care
for their regulations will wash their
hands of the iniquity.
We have an explicit statement, this
morning, from New Orleans, that the
sward of the Electoral Commission was
allowed to be made effective by a direct
bargain between HAYES immediate
friends who were authorized to speak for
him and the Southern Representatives
who were anxious to secure constitutional
government to their people. Having
prof.ed by the intrigue, he now basely
refuses to carry out the contract. That
he meant to do it when he made the
promise, we have little doubt, but in his
weakness he hss covered under tho die
tstion of the perddious SHERMAN and
the bullying BLAINE. When the his
tory OF this whole intrigue Is fully writ.
ten, HAYE and his Commission will be
held in loathing and execrstlon by every
honest American.

HON. EUSTACE GIBSON.

Our Delegate to the legislature who
was made Speaker on the first ballot,
made little speech in the court house at
Bsrboursville, this week, wherein he rem
dered a satisfactory account OF his
stewardship. Although some of the
Wheeling people and papers found fault
with him for clearing the galleries" he
generously fergivcs them, and alluded to
the citizens of that city in the klndest
terms. He has acquitted himself with
honor, and our people are proud OF the
work he has done.-Hmtsngton Adoer-
tiser.
This generosity" toward the people OF
Wheeling should not go unrewsrded.
