The troubles in Louisiana are happily at
an end, and that long suffering State will, it
is hoped, once more know peace and pros
perity. The announcement of the with
drawal of the United States troops was yes
terday the signal for the breaking up Of the
Packard Legislature, although on the previ-
Gus night the caucus, under the lead of Mr..
Warmoth, had determined to stand by Gov
ernor Packard This immediate result is a
striking proof of the wisdom of President
Hayes policy, even as measure of peace
and in the interest Of law and order. The
members of both houses of the defunct body
repaired at once to the Nichols Legislature
to take the oath and their seats. Mr.. War
moth and his immediate friends being
eventually of the number, and only delay
ing long enough to make a bargain with
the Nichols government that they should
be paid their salaries and mileage. In the
now legal Legislature the best of feeling
prevailed. There was no disposition on the
part of the successful side to triumph over
their defeated rivals, but commendable
desire was displayed to cultivate good feel
ing and to invite the confidence especially
of the colored republicans.

The Herald To-day.

We call attention again this morning to
the quintuple HERALD which is presented to
our readers. Were any evidence needed to
explain the necessity Of HERALD of this
size that afforded by nearly seventy-three
columns of advertisements would be
sufficient. The public see clearly enough
where business interests are best
served by advertising, and therefore
the HERALD columns are filled. AS
we remarked in former article on this SUBJ
iect, the advertising columns Of the HERALD
afford as interesting reading as the news col
umns, full as the latter are of the latest in
teligence from every part of the world. We
therefore take as much care of one depart
ment as the other feeling satisfied that
both are necessary to the popularity and
prosperity Of the paper. No one who
takes up to-days HERALD will fail to find
in its columns something to attract his at
tention and perhaps suggest an idea that If
worked out will turn to his or her adj
vantage The brcfest as we'll as the longest
advertisement has its definite purpose, and
must interest those who desire information.
1t is only in the HERALD that such n varied
array Of facts and statements is possible.

Tie romance Of reality has seldom APP
peared so prominently as in the famous suit
which reached final decision in New Or
Clark Gaines, first brought her case into the
courts more than forty years ago, and the
time, the talk and the papers pertaining
thereunto make Dickens Jarndyce case
rather tame affair in comparison Nearly
every American lawyer of the past half CEN
fury has sharpened or dulled his wits on this
dispute, even when not stimulated by n re-
tainer on either side, while hosts Of able
jurists have taken part in the struggle
until higher court summoned them into
another sphere with their labors I'M
finished. The plaintiff herself has on oc-
casion appeared in court as her own
attorney and by her wit and wisdom
damaged the saying that he who is his own
lawyer has fool tor client The prize
which Mrs Gaines contested for was a double
one. An enormous fortune and the greater
satisfaction of established Legitimacy gave
the stimulus which has sustained her
through a struggle which few men would
have dared to attempt Few people will
be ungenerous enough to begrudge her the
completeness Of her triumph, and thou
sands of women who are the victims of sim
liar circumstances, over which they had no
control, will bless her for the persistence
through which she has established prece-
dent Of which they can avail themselves
May she live long to enjoy the millions
which, though long ago hers by right, she
has SO splendidly earned by her own efforts

Wine Mt Dinner.

Washington gossip has busted itself with
the possible appearance in White House
Inequalities Of the temperance scruples of
Mrs. Hayes, and has limited that no more
highly favored fluids would appear on the
Presidential board than the cider vinegar in
the cruet and the frightfnlly cold ice water
recognized as national beverage but we
are clad to note that tho Executive has
entertained the sons Of the Emperor of
Russia and some dsher distinguished per-
sons at very successful dinner without
virtually insulting them by the imputation
that, if trusted with wine, they would
probably exceed BY their indulgence the
limits of discretion. From this fact
it is to be inferred, MS it is GER
tainly to be hoped, that the gossip TO
which we allude is merely idle report,
without even so much foundation in fact as
gossip ordinarily has. Any other course
than the one pursued in this case would be
simply an exhibition of bad taste; and if,
as it is limited, the present course was ex-
ceptonal and is to be reversed on future oc-
casions, it is to be hoped the President will
not give many dinners, or, if he does, will
invite only Americans, who, from whatever
section of the country they may come, will
be able to make allowances for narrow pro-
vincial or Puritanical prejudices. In say
ing this we do not, we believe, intrude
upon the domain of private opinion or merely
personal inclination. We respect temper
ance and temperance scruples ms we do all
other scruples originating in moral intcn-
tons, and we shall consent always that Mrs.
Hayes shall have her own way in her own
house as much as any other lady. But the
White House is not altogether her own house.

A Comedy in Ludlow street jail

Comedy In Ludlow street JAIL
We might search in vain through tho
pages of novelists and dramatists for more
genuine comedy than that enacted in Lud.
low Street Jail yesterday, where an inves-
tigating committee of the State Senate
gravely met and summoned before them the
distinguished ex-Tammany Boss, William
NJ. Tweed, to examine him in regard to his
pecuniary transactions with the notorious
Legislatures Of 1S7O--71. The deposed chief
tain, who once held almost the entire Senate
and Assembly in his capacious breeches
pockets, must have enjoyed hugely the roar
ing fun of the farce, Notwithstanding the
many tribulations he has recently known.
Indeed, IT evidently afforded him intense
amusement to play with the committee. His
answers were so framed rs to whet the appe-
titles of those Of its members whose experience
in legislative operations has not been ex.
tensive, and who were kept during the en-
tire examination in momentary expectation
that the next reply Of the Boss must be in
the form Of bombshell, whose explosion
would tear to pieces his old associates and
tools. But no sooner was this hope excited
than the still facetious Boss would fgura-
lively apply his thumb to his nose and
practically ask the committee if they could
discover anything green in his eye.
The fact is that Mr. Tweed like Sterne's
startling, to use his own language, wants to
get out. He is willing enough to impart to
the Senate committee the surprising infor-
nation that he knew A. D. Barber, Senator
Winslow. William +. King, Senator Woodin,
Aleck Frear. "nan" named Carney, and
"a man. or one supposed to be- man, named
James H. Ingersoll. But he is not willing
to say what use he made in his old Ring
days Of any or all of these persons, or what
money he used to corrupt legislation. ex-
cept as the price Of his release from Jail.
The statement Of his counsel sets the mat
ter at rest. He admits in substance that he
has given to the Attorney General copies of
o number Of checks and other evidences of
payments made by Tweed. informing him
that the proof of how and for what purposes
the money was used can be obtained on
Tweed's liberation. The decision is, there
fore, in the hands of the prosecution. II
they want to get at the bottom facts Of the
Tweed villany they have it in their power
to do So Senatorial Investigations are only
SO much froth and folly. The only question
is whether it will be better in the public
interest to keep Mr.. Tweed in Jail for
the remainder of his natural life and
allow all his accomplices to escape scot
free, or to let MIR. Tweed out and convict

Tho Serenade Fund.

When popular enthusiasm is once fairly
aroused it is as resistless as great river.
It seizes on every form of expression and
extends over the land, permeating every
section of the community. 1t is rs taking
as diphtheria in a dirty tenement block and
often as difficult to understand as o Police
Board statement Of street cleaning ex-
penses. Never, perhaps, in the his
tory of New York has one idea taken
such complete possession of the public
mind as that of rendering grand serenade
TO the worthy officials who, enthroned on
