New Orleans, March z, lS77.


New Orleans, March Z, lo77. j
To the People of Louisiana
l congratulate you upon, youl
law abiding conduch during the
past months o. unprecedented
anxiety and trial.
The history of that period, so
lar as You are CONCERNED, has been
but the steady exhibition of the
highest civic virtues
The situation of Your affairs ut
this moment demands, more than
ever, the exercise of combined
hrmness, moderation and deyo-
ton to principles.
We now have the assurance that
our great Commonwealth is about
to resume her rightful position in
the Union of States, and in the
control of her own internal
affairs.
You must, til erefore, continue
TO maintain the public peace, re-
frain from all violence. and leave
to those who iars charged with the
duties of government the respon--
sibility Of enforcing the laws.
In the future history of our
State let us recognize and respect
the fact. that all, class race dis
tinctions before the law are and
shall remain abolished.
Let MS honestly ACCORD to each /
citizen, without any .dissilctiop,
the full measure of his rights and
the equal benefit and protection
OF the law, TO the eud that all. /
under the blessing of God, may
contribute TO bring about au era
Of good feeling, peace and pros-H
perity. 4
Now therefore d Fraucis e |

Of Louisiana, do issue this, ,myl
proclamation, snjoining upon. al 4

Hayes Against Blaine.


!
WASHINGTON, March 81 have
the best authority for saying that
the Cabinet will be confirmed
when the Senate committees are
appointed and report. The dem
ocrats will assist MeCrary, who
has been changed suddenly from
the Attorney Generalship to the
War Department, Fhe Cabinet is
all of one way of thinking about
Hayes Southern policy. There is
no use in my telegrapLing any
thing more about the Nichols
government; the thing is settled.
How could YOU expect Kaves to
recognize Packard, to CRAFTY
Blaine h Co., who have declared
war against him? Blaine cares
nothing for the Packard govern
ment; his aim is simply to keep
himself the acknowledged leader
OF the radical party. Hayes is all
backbone and certain to win. He
and his followers, who will control
BIO ADMINISTRATION, have made up
their minds that the Packard gov
eminent is q perfect farce and will
fall to pieces. There is not the
slightest chance of it's recognition.
Even if tLeSeuate had admitted
Kellogg, no harm would have been
done by this. Phe Senate amounts
to nothing; the administration is
everything, and is with us. Wei
need no recognition. 1t is not the
business of President to go
around recognizing Governors.
The Nichols government is an es-
tsbllshed institution and will notl
be disturbed. 4

practice which from time to time have been
brought against him, committed suicide
Yesterday morning ut No. 6 Mulberry
street, near Calvert, where he has been
recently living with woman named Ida
Pennington. The time was, as near as can
be ascertained, about 1880 O'Clock in the
morning; the instrument n small white.

temper and keen edge, the blade OF which
the wretched man had thrust into his throat
on the leit-hand side, inflicting cash over
four inches long, and deep enough to lie,
life pass out with the torrent OF blood that
flowed from the wound. The Doctors skill
in surgery served him to the last, and his
accurate knowledge of how to reach vital
part did not fail him when he raised his
hand to take his own life. With
COOL AND SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE, -
he had evidently risen from his bed, and
the room being illy-lighted from without, a
kerosene lamp had been lighted, which was
probably the first thing he did on rising.
He then crossed the room to the corner
diagonally opposite the bed, and about
twelve feet distant, where bureau with q
mirror stood. There, with his reflection
before him, that he might the better see to
deal the fatal stroke, he used the knife,
with one effort aevering the carotid artery
and all the other large blood-vessels on tina,
side Of the threat. Still holding the knife
in his hand, he returned to the bed, and
LAYING the knife on small table at the head
of the bed. he laid down and, folding his
arms, awaited the end. He could not have
lived longer than few moments after.
wards, and probably within five minutes
after the wound was inflicted death ensued.
Mrs. Pennington was down stairs at the
time, and hearing strange noise in the
apartment occupied by the Doctor she went
up stairs. On opening the door, which is
directly opposite the bed, she saw at once
the full extent Of the crime which had been
committed. The blood had gushed from
the wound in immense quantities, striking
he wall in several places, and marking the
footsteps Of the suicide as he returned from
the mirror to the couch. On the bureau
was large pool Of blood, the first that
flowed, and the bed-lineu was soaked with
that which ran from the wound after the
man had laid down to his final rest.
The alarm was Immediately given and a
member of the household dispatched at once
for a physician. Dr.. G. Z. Welsh responded,
and was shortly afterward Joined by DR..
Mccormick. An Investigation revealed the
facts ds given above; and the police authori-
ties having in the mean time arrived, and
the rumor OF the suicide having spread like
wildfre. a large crowd assembled, attracted
thither by a morbid curiosity to see the
body and learn all the sickening particulars
OF the crime.-Bdstinlore american, 9Th.
