moth, who has been here for the past
week, returned to New Orleans Tonight.
He is, by oil odds, the ablest politician
In Louisiana, and will cooperate with
PinchbAek in the movement to break
up the Runp Legislature and extin-
gush the pretensions Of Packard. He
corroborates the statement that the
President intends to withdraw the
troops from the State office and send
them into barracks after the adjourn
ment OF the Senate. He sneers ut the
Packard government, and tells how he
has to break up q quorum in the Legis-
llature by carrying off five or six mem.
bers to his house. When the Sergeant
farms came after them he would tell
him that the authority of the Pack
ard Government did not extend that far.
as his house Was fully q square from the
walls OF the State House. Warmoth,
from his talk evidently meditates some
decisive movement which will put an
end to the Packard iuposture. During
the past three weeks he has been in
Vesting heavily in Louisiana State Sc
eurities, in anticipation Of q rise from
the recognition OF the Nicholls' govern
ment. Dispatches from New Orleans
received here state that there is very
confident feeling there already mani
tested in the attitude OF capitalists to-
ward the Nichols governments. Yester-
day warrants Of the Nichols govern
ment sold at flfty-five cents upon the
dollar. and to-day seventy.five cents Is
offered, but holders will not sell at that
price. Taxpayers are coming forward
In large numbers. In one district yes

views with Hayes, and are satisfied OF

AIKEN, March 1s.--At II o'clock thi;
morning four OF the five negroes Inn
plieated in the murder of Mr.. Hause
man and Mr.. Porthman. viz: Adam
Johnson, Nelson Brown. John Henry
Dennis and Lueius Thomas, expiated
their double crime upon the gallows
They were escorted from the jail to the
scafold by q strong posse Of citizens
summoned by the sheriff. The doomed
murderers were dressed In white gowns,
and were attended in their last moments
by two colored ministers OF the gospel,
the sheriff and q deputy.
The fifth convict, Stephen Anderson,
through the efforts Of his counsel, j. ST
Julien Yates, Esq, was granted re.
spite Of thirty days by Coy. Hampton.
Each OF the four prisoners made dying
declarations corroborative of their pre-.
vious confessions. Their statements
were made to crowd OF over 4O0e per.
sons, mostly colored men and women.
After each had told his story there were
short religious services--a prayer from
the clergymen and the reading Of the
burial services. The signal was then
given, white handkerchief futtered a
second In the breeze, the trap was
sprung, and the murderers were
launched into eternity. All Of them
died without the least struggle.
Twenty minutes after the trap was
sprung the bodies were cut down and
delivered to their respective families for
interment. Sheriff Holly, one of the
best and truest OF men, performed his
duty well and firmly, but not without a
great manifestation Of feeling indica-
tive OF the true man with q heart OF
sym pathy.

affairs early this week it became appa-

way to settle the difficulties in those
States was to order the troops at New

are almost completed and ready to be
submitted TO the Cabinet. The prom

gressional interference in Executive ap-

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-03-20

WASHINGTON, March 15.--Ex- g overnor
Scott, Of South Carolina, called yester-
day to take his leave Of President Hayes
and to assure him that in the course
which he was pursuing in sustaining
Gov. Hampton the best interests Of the
State would be secured. and in doing
this he said he did not abandon his de-
votion to the Republican party. Gov.
Scott also gave the President to under
stand that the maintenance Of the
Hampton government would be the sig
nal for material prosperity in South
Carolina, while the continuance of the
Chamberlain pretensions would un-
doubtedly have the effect Of producing
financial ruin and the destruction Of the
business and planting interests. Mod
crate Republicans are largely in favor
OF the recognition Of the Hampton gov
ernment, for in this plan only can they
see a guarantee Of the termination Of
the present political difficulties Of the
South.

interest that was to be paid.
MIR. Eyaus said that don't mend the matter.
The back interest was 100000, and $50, 1000
could not pay that.

1t is reported in Washington that President
Hayes has determined to recognize The Dlaz
Government in Mexico, and that he will OH
cay receive Senior Mata, the accredited Min
ister from Diaz, this week. 1t is also said that
the Diaz Government has already made arrange
ments to pay all the just claims that Americans
may have against Mexico. y fellow feeling
makes us wondrous kind, and uuchartable neo'
pie will be disposed 10 attribute this determine
ton Of Mr.. Hayes to the flaws said by The tol-
lowers of both LerIo and lglesias to exist in
Diaz's title 10 the presidency OF Mexico, but
the true reason, We believe, is the foundation
principle Of the republican party-that might
makes right-aol that law, order, deccncy and
Justice have as little 10 do with the election OF
President in Mexico as in this country; that
everything except the actual possession Of the
presidency, and everything except The paper
containing an election return, is auude; 10 short
that possession Instead Of being nine points in
the law, closes the case and awards the
title to the possessor, and that now IS in the
olden time

1t seems that President Hayess civil service
reform proclamation-for it was looked upon
in that lights not like the law Of the Medes
and PersiaDs, but that like most other an
nouncements from republican sources, the intent
Of its provisions varies with the attending cir.
cumstances, and applies only to special cases.
This is srikingly apparent in the provision for
appointing Southern men to Southern Offices,
and in 20 case more glaringly than in that of
the ofhcs OF the collector Of the Richmond dis
trict, from which one Of the only two native
Virginiaus employed there has, it is said, al

We are authorized by Mr.. S. p. Rayly
to say there is no truth in the state,
ments that he ever applied for the office
of Collector at Richmond. Nor is ii true as
alleged by Russell that he ever proposed 10
him compromise by which BayIy was to re
ceve certain patronage from Russell. On the
contrary Mr.. BaYly says that Russell through
one Of his friends proposed to him that if lie
(Bayly) would abandon his opposition to him
that Bayly could control the tobacco Inspector
ship under him This offer Bayly declined on
the ground that Russell had been prvy to the
defalcatiou of Burgess. Mr.. BayIy further says
that Col. Mosby never participated in the OPP
position to Russell AMI advised him to have
nothing to 90 with it.
