Pinchback's Views of the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Gov. Pinch
back states that nothing short Of seri-
Gus blunder on the part of the Nichols
Legislature OF failing to carry out faith
fully the terms OF arrangements made
here can defeat the success Of the
Nichols government.
Pinchback is perfectly satisfied that
Mr.. Hayes will adhere to the policy In
dieated in his letter OF acceptance rela-
tive to Southern affairs.
PEACE FOR LOUISIANA.
The Policy Of Non.Interference with the
Nichols Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The following
information concerning the affairs of
Louisiana is furnished by Col. e. A.
Burke. There has been no bargain be-
tween the Nichols government and
the Republican authorities concerning
The Legislature Of Louisiana will elect
whomsoever they see fit at an extra
session.
There has been great anxiety on the
part OF the friends OF Louisiana to
ascertain IL the appearance of non
interference with the Nichols govern
ment would be adhered to by Mr.. Hayes
in the event OF his Inauguration, and
satisfactory guarantees have been given,
assuring the permanent establishment
OF the Nichols government. On the
other hand, the Legislature of Louisi-
ana and Gov. Nichols have guaranteed
peace, order and equal justice to black
and white citizens, with full protection
and privileges. No persecution of Re-
publicans for past political conduct, but
no immunity for crime.
The announcement OF the Presidents
intention to withdraw the troops from
Packard's support was independent OF
an agreement, and was simply in ac-
cordance with his well known views.
Representative Gibson's name has
been improperly associated with the
supposed bargain. He has been quite
i'll for some days past. There is no
agreement inconsistent with the honor
and dignity Of President Grant, Gov.
Hayes or the people Of Louisiana.
