Coy. TLDEN is the first man,
duly, fairly and legally elected Pres
ident of these United States, who has
been cheated, defrauded and swim
died out of office. This fact we can
not forget, cannot forgive and intend
to remember till we are righted, but
still the home question n0W with US
is narrowed down to sharp point
between Gov. Nichols and Mr.. 5. b.
Packard. Viewing this from pro-
per stand point, we ask in real and
sober earnest, if it be not time for
every man in Alexandria, Pineville
and the Parish to choose one or the
other, and stop trying to carry water
on both shoulders. We know that
Nichols was legally elected Cover
nor, and is now de jure and de .tdcto,
and that Packard is base pretender,
and therefore, should be squelched,
and that at once. Walk up to the
Tax.office and settle that point at

RIGHT.

Tn our last we stated that the Nj
cholls Government had been fully
established and recognized in Rap
ides, and cited as the practical in
stance that Judge Blackman, the
Judge of this Judicial District, had
presided at a preliminary investiga-
ton in three distinct criminal cases,
and thus had fairly and legally Or
ganized his Court. One of the &C
cused, however, asked for continu'
ance as he was not ready, which was
granted, and last Tuesday was fixed
for the examination.
In the meantime the pretender to
the seat of Judge Blackman had re-
turned here from New Orleans, and
did not disguise his wrath at the pro-
ceedings related above, and even sta
ted that the whole examination was
& sham. a cheat, a fraud, and could
not stand, and at the same time in
these anamatheas included the Nj
cholls Government, which he blessed
with words unholy and harsh to ears
polite, closing with fulsome pane
gyrc of Packard and his claims
These &c cathedra proceedings and
talk naturally attracted the attention
of the most vigilant of our people,
who at once determined practically
and not by chin music, to uphold the
Nichols Government in Rapides,
through its highest judicial officer.
This was done, done well, and done
efectually, and our aim here is to
commend the proper action of the
few true ones who did not for mo-
ment hesitate or count the policy
risk, but acted promptly in the i'm
, portant matter. They marched tc
| the Court House and were there rea
dy to aid and uphold the legal Judge
who, however, had no impeachment Of
fered him, and so all went off wei
and thus was cemented the title an(
} the recognition of Judge Blackman

THE NEWS.
ST. LOUIS, NO., y
April II, 1877.f

SI. AoO1Sy WIZ NJ
April II, 1877.
St. Louis has been visited by a.
calamity, which, in the annals of hu-
man calamities, has rarely been par
alleled. This morning, shortly after
midnight, the magnificent Southern
Hotel took fire and so rapidly did the,
flames do their work, that of the
great number of guests in the hotel
about hundred were unable to es-
cape, and persisted in the feast Of
fire.
The scenes attendant upon this aw-
full tragedy were wild and appalling.
The guests were awakened from their
deep slumbers by the awful cry Of
fire, and in desperate alarm, rushed
wildly from their rooms, only to find
that the fierce flames had by that
time we'll nigh enshrouded the lower
part of the house, and cut the tenants
of the upper floors off from escape
by the lower stairways.
The shrieks and lamentations Of
the unfortunate people thus penned
up behind a circle of|iying fire were
fearful, and although Aperhuman eff
forts were made by the tiremen, and
thousands Of citizens Who gathered
upon the scene, to rescue the imper-
lied ones, all availed nething.
From the most reliable accounts
and estimates, nearly Il hundred lives
were lost in the disaster Those re-
siding on the lower floor escaped, but
of those residing above the second
! story, very few were rescued. At
) this time, in the confusion and uDcer.
tainty occasloned by the calamity.
the extent thereof can, of course, on
ly be estimated, but that twill prove
as great as indicated, is safe to as.

Chamberlain left Washington ne was
boastful and Dragging. He was 1nl'

nv Chandler and Blaine, and resolved
to fight Hampton's legal processes
legally by appeals to the Courts up
By this means he hoped to secure
DELAY and trusted to some outbreak
of the South Carolinians Disguised
with this long and injurious delay.
His courage oozed away his first
day here. Owing to lack Of money
almost all the Republican State offi-
cials had deserted and gone home;
his militia was disbanded, his Legis-
lature gone, and only some half doz-
en- of the Republican claimants for
the State offices were remaining.
A council of these was held. Ali
of them decided unanimously that
having no money, no militia, no sup
port, any resistance to the Hampton
government was impossible and the
greatest folly. Chamberlain in val'
promised them assistance and money
from the North; they had not beer
supplied with nerve by Blaine an.
opposed the policy of any resistance
so strongly, that Chamberlain had tt
give it up and telegraphed North tt
that effect at once. A last appea
was made to the President, through
his counsel at Washington, W. +
