PERSONAL

Messrs. Gsdane Cassnsve and Louis M.
Kenner, escaped victims of the Democratic
inquisition, arrived home from Washington
Tuesday night Buoyed up by the con
sciousness that they suffered in patriotic
and Just cause, they bore their thirty.three
DAYS confinement with fortitude that left
them physically unimpaired. Before leaV.
ing Washington they had an interview with
President Hayes, and bear from him to the
Republicans of Louisiana grateful acknowl-
edgments of appreciation of their suffer
ings in his behalf. They scOrn the sugges-
ton that he will abandon our government
to the tender mercies of the Democrats.
Senator j. Henri Burch also returned on
the same train. He is full of confidence in
the ultimate success of the Republican
cause, and declares that there has not been
a moments thought, among those having a
deciding voice, of abandoning Governor
Packard and his supporters. He pictures
the scramble for place, among the Demo
cratic representatives of Louisiana at Wash.

that their selfshness is disgusting their
original sympsthizers and oOadjutors as
completely as internal dissensiOns are alien

These gentlemen were delayed thirty-six
hours en- route by railroad causes.
Inglesias, who pronounced himself Presi-
dent of Mexico, and was promptly pro-
nounced out again by POrfriO Diaz, is in
this city with his suite, having rooms at the
same hotel with General Nichols, who
pronounced himself Governor of Louisiana
some sixty days since.
General Augur, commanding this mill
tary department, has been for several days
quite unwell, and confined to his bed with
an attack of gastric fever. His physician,
DR.. /. W. Scott, brought the General safely
through, and he is now oOnyAlescent.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN
LOUISIANA,
WHO nIade the Canvasse

Who Made the Canvassa
1t may be a good time now to revert to
some of the memories of the last campaign
in Louisiana.
After the Baton Rouge convention the
cry was "all the State is for the Democrats.
There is no use running ticket against
Tilden."
Certain orators and politicians sban-
doned Louisiana, and, pretending to be for
Hayes, went off to other States to figure In
the canvass, without other effect than to
class themselves as third.rate speakers.
They are now in Washington working
against Packard. Now, if they were Hayes
men, why not have stayed in the State and
followed up the presidential canvassl
But no; they saw no use IN that. This
State was in their view irretrievably lost.
Large districts of country were bull
dozed. Murder, intimidation and disfrRn-
chisement had done their work.
Who bravely came to the rescue, inau-
gurated a canvass, and challenged General
Nichols and suite to q discussion of the
national and State issuesl The offer not
being accepted, Mr.. Packard, with the
friends he could gather around him ior the
purpose, set out to address the people in
every part of the State.
Disregarding threats and discussions,
they went everywhere, discussing the presi-
dental question as the cardinal one wher-
ever they spoke. They revived the disOr-
ganized and dropping forces of the Repub-
licans in many localities, and but for them
there would have been no presidential can
vass worth the naming.
Their efforts had the effect to bring Hayes
and Packard from the country with large
majority, acknowledged and returned by
the Democrats themselves.
Their arrangements and suggestions pre-
pared the Republicans in the intimidated
localities to come here with the proofs Of
their real majority, so that under the
election laws the polls in bulldOzed locali-
ties were rejected, and the enemy deprived
Of the advantage of their fictitious and
fraudulent one-sided returns.
They made their own and the presidential
issue q common cause, although without
them there would have been no presidential
canvass at all.
The result was, success to their efforts,
and the national Republican party demands
they shall have the justice impartiaIly dns,
and that the benefit shall accrue locally a.
well as nationally.

Especial to the New Orleans Republican.

WASHINGTON, March l6, l:20 P. NJ.
Messrs. Gordon, Ellis and Levy called at
the White House last night and endeavOred
to pursuade the President to withdraw the
troops from Louisiana, but utterly failed.
The troops in question are under COM
mand of President Hayes himself, and he
was unable to see how their mere presence
could harm any we'll disposed persons, or
retald an amicable settlement of any dis.
puted question.
Only the merest outlines of plan for
settling the Southern question have been
considered. Details have not yet been
reached.
President Hayes, as he has said hundreds
Of times, desires plan that will secure the
rights of all.
He is willing even to meet the Democracy
half way, but as yet the Democratic lead
ers refuse to move an inch, but stubbOrnly
insist in effect that the President shall con-
cede everything to them and go over to
their ground.
They insist in substance that he shall
withdraw his troops and let the shotgun
policy prevail.
There is wide difference between the
Presidents benefcent Southern policy and
the plan advocated by the Democratic lead
ers, and it remains to be seen whether il
can be adjusted.
The President certainly will not concedt
everything.
The Democrats oppose a new election
and it IS noted here as a significant fac
that the New Orleans Democrat of March i
vehemently opposes the Presidents plan o
mixed commission headed by Vice Presi
dent Wheeler.
Things will remain in Statu quo at pres
| ent
The Democrats can not have everything
their own way, by any manner of meant

Messrs. Rouse & Grant, as attorneys for
Lionel A. Sheldon, fled a petition yester-
day in the Superior Civil Court for dam
ages of $4,000 against the CarrOllton Rail
road Company. He alleges that some
months since he received an injury BY con-
cussion with the shed or covering Of the
Napoleon avenue station while attempting
10 descend from the car. The accident was
caused by the Carelessness Of the driver
and the condition and location Of the build.

Opposition to the New Army Regulations

Opposition to the New Army Regulations.
The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe Democrat writes:
The new army regulations compiled by
General SchOfeld, by order of the Presi-
dent, under the act of 1875, concentrates SO
much power in the hands of the General-in-
Chief as to meet with opposition from the
heads of the various bureaus of the War
Department. 1t places all the branches of
the military establishment under the COM
mand OF the commanding General of the
army, and directs all orders, whether orig
mating with the President or Secretary of
War, to be issued by the General OF the
army through the office of the adjutant
general. All the heads of bureaus in the
department have protested against this
radical change. General Humphries, chief
of engineers; General Dunn, Judge advo-
cate; General McFeely, oommissary gem
eral, and General Benet, chief of ordnance,
have written letters against the new sys-
tenn. General Humphries, in his letter,
slys that it is unconstitutional, as it de-
priyes the Secretary of War of the fune-
lions now conferred upon him by law.
General Dunn declares that these heads OF
bureaus can not be put on the staff of the
General-in Chief under the existing law.
General Benet is opposed to any transfer
from the orders of the War Department to
that of the General-in-C Chief, and says the
law of 1875 provides that the regulations
for the government of the army must be in
accordance with existing laws, and then
adds "The ordnance department has
been, under the law, subject to the order
of the Secretary of War for half q century

HIS PLAN TO IMPEDE IT
Special to the New Orleans Republican
WASHINGTON, March l6, 1877.

WASHINGTON, March l6, 1877.
1t is suthoritatively stated, that there
will be no commission of compromise sent
to Louisiana.
Pinchback has left for New Orleans. Be-
fore leaving he had a long conJ ersatiOn
with Foster.
His mission to the White House must
have been very unsatisfactory to him, for
he carried away assurances that Governor
Packard would be recognized.
He goes home post haste for the purpose
of using what influence he has left on the
members OF the Legislature.
If he can not induce them to join the
Democratic revolutionists, he hopes to
break the quorum by persuAding them to
remain away from their seats.
He fancies by this means, though recOg-
milton comes, he will be able to destroy its
effect and prevent success temporarily,
even after recognition. d.

Is IT A Thermometer tit is often re-
marked that the amount of business done
in bar-rOoms is indicative of the state of
public affairs, financially speaking. St.
Charles street, from Poydras to Canal, has
during many years been noted for its
drinking saloons, one of the most promi-
nent being the Washington, No. 10. A
sudden change has come over this old fav-
orite, and the regular price of fifteen cents
per dose has been reduced TO the neater
sum Of ten cents. Frank DesbOn, prOprie-

POLITICAL NOTES.

A telegram, freely exhibited in Demo
cratic circles Wednesday evening, was gen.
orally pronounced the thinnest thing of this
era of gauzy trifes. 1t purported to con-
vey the views OF President Hayes, Senator
Conkling and others upon the one-sct
farce, played daily at Odd Fellows Hall,
known as ballOting for Senator. With
solemn emphasis the dispatch announces
that D. B. Penn must be chosen, or the
Democratic representative will certainly
be denied a seat. And such transparent
falsehoOds serve to amuse and mystify the
stupid masses, while the concocters are
feathering comfortably their own nests-or
trying to.

The Times has good deal to say about

its objects. The latest purpose aseribed to

not come all the way from Washington to
New Orleans to accomplish that end. If he
will ask Warmoth, SlOanaker, George Car

WASHINGTON, March ii, 1877.
Kellogg will be admitted about
the end of the week, and nothing but the
inevitable necessity for an extra session Of
Congress can defeat it, There will be no
party defections. Packard's recognition
will follow as q matter of course, although
q little time may be given to the Conserve
tives to come into the Republican ranks
and thereby share in the Republican gov
ernment There will be no departure" out
