WASHINGTON, March 8, 9:15 P. NJ.
The Democrats who have believed they
had captured the new administration, just
sent Democratic committee to wait upon
President Hayes and ask the removal of
the United States troops from the Orleans
Hotekin your city.
The President snubbed them with a
short and curt reply. He said that he
positively would not move the troops and
leave Governor Packard exposed until the
whole Louisiana matter was finally and
fairly settled.

This is the political situation from the
standpoint of Barr, the White League
agent of the Associated Press at Wash
ington:
CONSERVATION pervades the Republican
camp; the Democrats are solid and deter
mined in their demand for the restoration
of self.goyerRment throughout the South.
and in 0btai0ing it they do not propose to
make any humlliatiug concessions to the
President or any one else. IL is published
that Hayes rendered General Gibson the
district attOrneyship of Louisiana. There
Is nothing in it. President Hayes would
hardly have dared to do it. The fact is, the
Federal offices of the South do not enter
into the plans of the Southern leaders, They
want seif.government for Louisiana and
South Carolina, and do not care who serves
the processes Of Federal courts, or the
mails, and collects the revenues.
The President may send compromising
commission, headed by Vice President
Wheeler, to South Carolina and Louisiana.

THE BULLDOZER's LATEST
THE ASSASSINATION OF WEBER
THE MURDERERs UNKNOWN
THEIR IDENTITY HIDDEN

The assassination of D. A. Weber, the
most prominent Republican in West
Feliciana, adds another to the long list of
political murders of Louisiana by un-
known parties.
The Democratic press, simultaneously
with the announcement of his death, con-
tanned the usual attempt at evasion of
responsibility.
He was charged with going about for
several days in defiant way, and "threat-
ening many of our citizens" yet it does
not appear that the coroner's inquest de-
veloped any evidence of resentment on
the part of these ''many citizens" So far
from charging any Of them with dispatch.
ing him in self-defense, as such conduct
on his part would seem to authorizes, the
coroners jury failed to develop any particu,
lars. 1t will probably continue to fail in
the same way for all time to come, ant
even the promise of reward from the
Democratic treasury will not induce five
jurymen of st. Francisville to withdraw
the veil that conceals their fellow citizens
D. A. Weber was a brave man, but b
never would have invited assassination
by desperately threatening such a com
munity as that in which he lived. H
was young, an ardent Republican, tru
and staunch in the einterests of his party
well educated and able, and much es
teemed by all who do not gauge their as
sociations by political faith.
His desire at all times was to do tn
best he could for the interests of tn
whole people of his parish, and it was bu
few days before his death, in view of tn
prospective appointments in his parish
that he addressed letter to Governo
Packard, from which the following ar
extracts:
BAYOU SARA, February "a, 1877.
| MY DEAR GovERNOR-There are matter

have every reason to believe that ever

gladly tender their designations; and if "
can seoure the appointment of men in the
places who enjoy the confidence of the ia
payers, have no doubt but there will be 4
more trouble in this parish.

mary interests in the parish, and who al
ticipate your recognition rs Governor, hay
requested nue. to lay tlTese facts before yOr
having received the assurance from me tbs
You would appoint none bat honest an
competent men to office.
In my opinion, if the Democrats can haO
positive assurances of your intention
carry cut a cOnciliatory policy tOwar
them, we will experience no more troub
here.
Yet this man, while endeavoring,

save the Parrish.

A measure is being entertained by the
Democrats at Odd Fellows Hall looking
to the cutting up of the parish of Carroll.
The good people of that section, regard
ing with disfavor this proposition, have
appealed to Senator Gla for protection.
The following petition, signed entirely by
his Democratic constituents, has been re-
ceived by him from Simon Writkowski,
Esq, of Caledonia, with request that
the contemplated wrong against the peo-
pie of Carroll be prevented:
CALEDONIA CARROLL PARISH, La,
January /, 1877.
Senator Jacques A. GlA, New orleans, La:
SIR-We the undersigned citizens and
. taxpayers of ward No. s. irrespective OF
political party, with respect show that our
neigtbors of ward No. are endeavoring to
have our parish divided by act of our
Legislature to which we most earnestly
protest. Our reasons are as toilowe:
Tue territory which is to constitute the
intended new parish of West Carroll is too
poor to maintain parish government.
Our taxes are now high enough, and
would by making division be at least tour
| times as much as they now are.
Our people are unable to support &C
many officers necessary TO condrot the
| parish affairs, and we deem it an outrage
on the people 10 our ward should sach 6
| division be made.
| We therefore appeal to you as Senator o.
| this district to resist and prohibit the di
vision of our parish, as we are satisfied witt
the parish as the same now exists.
| We constitute half of the new parish Il
b. established, and pay half of the taxe
collected on the west side of Bayou Macon
| therefore claim the right to oppose ths di
| vision, as the same would be against pub
lie interest. Respectfully yours,

POLITICAL NOTES.


Doubtless Senator Bayard was misled
by interested parties, but it is false that
the authority of Governor Packard is con-
fined to the limits of the State House.
The local officers in the wealthiest and
most peaceable and prosperous parishes
of the State hold his commissions and
recognize no other executive authority.
1t is true number of parish officials
some even elected as Republoans-ap-
piled to and received commissions from
General Nichols; but they have repeat
edly explained this as having been done
to quiet the apprehensions of litigants or
others having business to transact. Let
the national authorities begin to perform
their sworn duty to uphold the law, and
the question of the recognition of Mr..
Packard by the municipal governments
throughout Louisiana will adjust itself as
speedily as it did under similar circum,
stances in 1872.
