It Is now certain that Nichols, elect
ed Governor of the State OF Louisiana,
will remain Governor. Hayes policy
il known, Hayes honesty cannot be
doubted; the commission sent by him
into the State do not come to impose
Packard and his gang upon us. The
reign Of the odious carpet Dagger Is
over, and Louisiana once again given to
Louisianians.
All we'll, say certain Northern jour
nails, but there Is danger Of a reaction,
of a revival OF old ante bell,im ideas and

tocracy.
Such danger Is absurd. The middle

war scarcely amounted to anything,

The wonderful commission sent down
here by Hayes Cabinet have been
sGcheeing around New Orleans all week.
On Tuesday they made a proposition
to have the Legislature, MS formed by
the Returning Board, assemble and re-
count the votes for Governor and State
officers. That was luminous idea for
Leave the settlement Of the political
difficulties in Louisiana to the tools Of
the Returning Board forsoothl
Either that the commission is set OF
asses, or else they suppose the people
Of Louisiana are a pack of fools.
The very proposition is an insult in
itself.
Away with all such nonsensei
Nichols is Governor OF Louisiana,
and so will he remain until displaced
by military Governor, or a successor
honestly elected to succeed him. Thi-

There Is now no doubt that tn e Mich
oils government is fixed fact. Not
withstanding there is a commission to
arrive who are charged with some sort
of powers from the President. there will
be nothing done that can effect the va
lidity of the government OF the peoples
choice. Nichols is Governor, and like
Hampton Of South Carolina, he Is going
to be Governor or be General. The
fraudulent President does not desire any
other solution Of the Southern case, and
even Ii he did he would not dare to in
terfere with the established and recog-
nized government OF the people. The
Il oil 20
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are
disguised with the carpet-bag, negro
governments Of the South, and we can
safely promise that they will be known
no more in this land during our day
and time. Our people can prepare to
rejoice. ''eat drink and be merry" and
celebrate the passover OF their deliver
ance from the bondage Of eight years Of
oarpet-bag negro rule.-lMin Demo-

The gods certainly make men mad
they wish to destroy. The local Radi-
cal fairly bowls over the chance he
seems to find for " Packard's recogni
tion," when, should such occur, it would
be a sad day for them.
1t is hardly any use to be ''mealy-
mouthed" with this class OF filthy
thieves. They. have SO long disgraced
them with any feeling of consideration
IL perfectly superfluous.
Packard's recognition means, In plain
English, the death OF every rural thief,
who now goes into exstacies for that
contamination; just as certain as the
sun rises.
The people OF this State don't pro,
uoso to submit to Packard-they will
