As one OF tho indications Of coming
events, we learn that warrants for the
Nichols government went up on
Change yesterday to ninety, and there
were few who were willing to sell at
that rate. The bill published in the
DEMOCRAT of Wednesday, securing the
advance by the Fiscal Agent Of three
hundred thousand dollars to pay the
expenses of the Legislature, as well as
the certainty Of the establishment OF
the Nichols government in few days,
has produced this effect.

unelasped from about Francis Nichols,
nothing could restrain their patriotic
hands from taking Louisiana from bis
feeble clutch. Evans further urged
that In order to impose the foregoing
belief on Hayes, 10 would be neees-
sary to 40 through the form OF volun"
teering 90 militiamen. That this was
erisis In which Packard expected
every lover OF Office to volunteer. and
be therefore moved that the whole OF
the iifty.ave men present do respond TO
this reasonable expectation, to tho end
that Packard may telegraph Morton TO
advise Hayes that $4,000 men, armed In
proof, end ied by Loan, were ready to
foil OH ut the first movement OF the
troops. The motion was carried, the
telegram dispatched. and now the
crafty ohieftaia sits within the safe
territory Of the rat.hols, and huns Ii
dreamy. and ruminant way. that Hayes
will have TO waltz TO him, for he will
never waltz TO Hayes.

VACANCIES IN TIE LEalsLATuRE

/
There are number Of persons who
were elected to the Legislature OF this
State, but whe have pefsistently absent"
cd themselves from their seats and
duties and spend their time In bafroomH.
In walking tho streets and In occasional
attendance In secret partisan caucus
held at the 81. Louis Hotel. The
citizens are excluded from these eau'
euaes, which are held In fortified
building guarded by armed police or
Holdery. who exclude oil persons from
admission who have not cards furnished
by tho commandment of the pest. one y.
u. Packard.
some OF these persons were duly
elected to the Legislature In various
diatfets and parishes, and have been
fully notified Of the time and place OF
the sessions OF tho two bodies eompos'
ing that Legislature. Yet they persist
In remaining away and declining to dis"
charge the duties for VIII oh they were
elected, and for which they expect to be
paid out of the treasury Of the State.
Whilst doing nothing and incapable
of doing anything for the State and
their constituents In their secret Assem-.
blages ut the 81. Louis Hotel. they re"
fuse to occupy their seats In the lawful
General Assembly. which ID assiduously
and laboriously engaged In the business
Of conducting the legislation OF the
State.
This absence OF u large number OF the
legislators of the State occasions great
Inconvenience In legislation and largely
increases the labors OF those who are
faithful in their attendance.
Under the constitution 1t would be the
duty and within the lawful authority Of
the Legislature to compel the atten-
dance OF these delinquent members.
In the peculiar circumstances OF our
condition the Legislature does not deem
It prudent to exercise this power. This
position ID taken In the interest Of peace.
But there IL another power and duty
| which devolves on the Senate and
House, and which involves no peril to
the public peace or disturbance OF the
status quo. This is to declare the vacan-
cies which have been created by the
persistent absence Of members whose
names have been entered on the rolls,
and to communicate the same to the
Governor with a view to his ordering
elections to fill these vacancies. This
has been done In the Senate, and, we
presume, will be done by the House.
There can be no doubt Of the authority
and power of the houses to make such
declarations. All parliamentary law
Is in favor OF such power. Even IL there
were force in the suggestion that such
action would be an evasion Of the con-
stitutional provision which requires
vote Of two-thirds Of either house to
expel member, the argument would
not apply in the present instance, be-
cause the declaration Of vacancies re-
ferred to was made by q vote OF more
than two-t thirds OF the members OF the

POOR PACKARD's ATTEMPT TO BULL
DOZE HAYES.

Now. indeed, are We on the edge OF
perilous times. Packard threatens to
set his sauadrons In the field. From the
rat hole on Royal street, last night, came
sounds OF the most belligerent import.
The voice of the untamed and sanguin-
airy Exams penetrated to the outer air,
and chafed the still night with 1t mar
tial melody. The head Of this mendi-
cant patriot was dubious with fight.
His lungs were bloated with battle cries
and the whole man, indeed, was drop
steal with a desire to become bloody
"Reminiscences.
The recent prophecies about the with
drawal Of troops had given to that sad
phenomenon such an aspect Of near
reality to Packard and his vagrant
henchmen, that their souls sickened
within them. Something must be done
to arrest Hayes in his appalling and
calamitous movement towards peace
and prosperity. Otherwise this people
were liable to wake up any morning,
and find themselves free and happy.
Such disaster would be intolerable.
No wisdom could forecast its tragical
results. In all human probability 1t
might subject them to the necessity OF
plying some honest avoeation. That
blow would be mortal. It must be par
ried. How? BY bulldozing Hayes. It was
clear that the rebel representatives in
Washington had inspired that political
milksop with the belief that no breach
Of the peace would spring from the
withdrawal of the troops. His mind
must be purged Of that delusion. He
must be taught that the issue of peace
or war was one of Packard's private,
personal, and most exclusive perqui-
sites. That it rested with that dread
chieftain, sitting in pensiye incar.
ceration in the Royal street rat hole,
to lift the index finger Of his right
hand. and the land would be seized
with labor pains, and give birth to q
multitudinous army Of men, pledged to
do his bloody behests. Hayes must be
given to understand that nothing but
the presence of troops here protected
Francis Nichols and Fred. Ogden
from the vengeance of Packard's hun.
CRY braves. That before the troops had
been twelve hours beyond the limits OF
the city. the five thousand and one
bodies Of the misguided Ogden and his
rebel white league would be given as
food to the crows.
Hence the rumpus last night in the
rat-hole.
Evans was great. 1t is claimed by
his friends that, not even in any of his
judicial DEGREES. did his poverty of law
logic and facts, ever appear to better ad
vantage. He informed his friends that
the time had arrived. when Hayes must
be made to believe that they looked or
blood as the only food fit for daily use
| that they regarded death for Packard
| sake as o boon to be sought for, pursued
i and captured at all hazards; and tina
