Congress adjourned yesterday at IL
o'clock, NJ. All the appropriation bills
which went to committees OF conference
were passed except the Army Bill, and
this failed. The House insisted on a
clause in the bill prohibiting the use of
the Army to sustain the Packard and
Chamberlain governments. The Senate
would not agree to the bill in this shape
and the Democratic side of the House
were unanimous in their determination
to defeat the Radicals in continuing the
subiugation Of States to further the
political aims of partizan rascals.

Packard and Havas.

To-day Mr.. Hayes, it is rumored. will
take the oath of Office as President of the
United States. Yesterday, and on Thurs
day last, President Grant took such ac-
uon In the Louisiana case as proved that
Inc claims of the Republicans to have
earned that State was false, and there
lore that the title of Mr.. HAYES to the
Presidency is ntterlv fraudulent. Onthe
lst Of March President Grant sent a dis
patch to the so-called Governor Packard.
OF Louisiana, saying "that he does not
believe public opinion will longer sup.
port the maintenance of the State gov
ernment of Louisiana by the use Of the
military, and that he must concur in
" this manifest feeling" Packard was
afterwards told in plain terms that the
troops will not be used during the re
maander of President Grants official term
to establish or to pull down other
claimants to the control of the State ,,
This of course is confession that the poli-
cy OF military interference by which the
usurping government of Kellogg was nut
IN power and maintained was uniustfi.
able. AT the close of his political career.
IN other words, President Grant solemn
ly acknowledges that the criticisms made
by the Democrats upon his course in con-
trolling sovereign State by the Federal
army, have been just and well-founded.
He owns in effect that Louisiana has
been grossly wronged; that the will of
her people has been violated, and that
both the Returning Board which fraudu-
lently declared Hayes electors chosen,
and the Governor who fraudulently gave
them certificates, acted without valid au.
thor1ty of any kind from the common
wealth.. No man ever stamped such q
danning brand of condemnation upon
his own record; no man ever before so
utterly stultified the policy and preten.
sions of his own party. 1t is not easy to
say what could have actuated Grant 10
take this step at the eleventh hour of his
reign. Perhaps the most benevolent
suppoSition is that he acted in further
ance of the intrigue of Hayes, with the
