WASHINGTON, March 30.-Gov. Young,
of Ohio, and Deacon Smith are mere
with quite delegation 81 Ohloans, uLg.
ing upon the President the recognlll.oh
OF both Packard and ChampeIlaln,
claiming that the Republicans OF V ,,,r
ther cloud upon his own title. This, OF
co,,rse. has great weight with Mr..
HAYES. as he cares more for the opinions
and approval OF the people OF Ohio
than tha whole country beside.
Inicn1o Times, IEdjtOridl.-A number
Of infiammatory idiots from Ohio, under
the lead Of Deacon Richard Smith, are
| in Washington, urging Hayes to "recog,,
nize" the Chamberlain and Packard
governments. The fact that Chamber
lain and Packard have no governments
to recognize In no way diseourages tne
Deacon and his ardent companions:
Remembering how easily Durell created
a government in Louisiana for Kellogg
four years ago, the Ohio imbeciles can
see no reason why the process should
not be repeated now. They contend
that for HAYES to acknowledge Nichols
and Hampton. would be to recognize q
cloud on his own title to the Presidency.
The Inability Of these Bourbons TO learn
or to forget anything, or to understand
the plainest facts and principles,
ia q trial Of the .public's pa
tience. Whatever cloud appeared IL
the title Of Hayes prior to the 81 OF
March. the act OF the National Legisla-
ture in Joint session acknowledged his
right to be- inaugurated. His title liz no.
disputed, in fact. by any adverse claim
ant, and there Is, consequently. no com.
parison between his position and that OF
The pretenders In Louisiana and South
Carolina. He has possession, and exer-
cises all the functions of the Executive
office, while they have neither lawful
right nor actual possession. Inc best
proof Hayes can give Deacon smith
that there is no cloud in his title worth
talking about will be to issue his order,
soldiers from the Capitals Of South
Carolina and Louisiana. II the order ia
obeyed, it will establish the facS>t that
HAYES Ii more of President to-day
than Grant was on the Sd OF March, for
Grant issued just such an order then,
aud Sherman pocketed 1t.
A REPUBLICAN VIEW.
President Hayes Opposed to the Use of
Troops In state Affairs.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Commercial ]
Tt is believed that the contest will be
brought to a speedy end, the people OF
South Carolina determining who shall
be their ruler. It may be stated here
that the President has made no reply to
the communication Of either party on
the question of their rights to executive
authority in South Carolina, as the in
tercourse of the contestants with the
General Government has been in no
manner whatever In negotiation, and
the question of recognition OF either
party has been no part OF the consider
alton Of the question, as the idea OIL the
recognition of the Governor OF any
State In contest is entirely foreign to
the Presidents views under any OF the
circumstances which have as yet pre-
sented themselves.
It can further be stated that the troops
will remain in the State of South Caro-
lima upon the grounds already set forth
In these dispatches, but not with any
purpose Of interference in any manner
whatever under the present status OF
things. In the event Of either OF the
two governments resorting to violence
In support of their rival claims, 1T Is the
will OF the President that they shall
take no part In the contest, as that Is a
matter for the parties interested to set
tie. Should either party call upon the
government for aid In his support.
claiming to represent the legal authority
of the State, the President will then de-
termine upon the course he will pursue.
He hopes that this will not be a ques-
ton for him to determine, as he desires
no Federal interference in the contest
at all. but that the contestants will work
out their destiny in their own way, and
within the peaceful limits Of the law.
