THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION.

Hayes has at last, after much per-
tsGasion and entreaty, succeeded in
getting five men to serve on the Loulsi-
ana Commission. They are to go
South Immediately; take view of the
situation, and report their impressions
to the President. They have no power
to administer oaths or examine persons
or papers. They constitute COM
mission only in name, yet in all
probability the fate of State hangs
upon their report. as Hayes having
appointed them upon his own motion,
will of necessity be obliged to be
governed by their decision. If these
FIVE men or a majority of them say
that one or the other of the rival claim
ants for the Governorship of the State
ought to be recognized. then that Gov
eminent will be sustained by Federal
bayonets regardless of what the
majority decided at the polls last Nov
'ember. This is new way of electing
the Governor of State. modelled Oh
the principal of the Electoral Com
mission, but no Improvement on the
original design. That Commission
was created by law with power to go
behind the returns; this is the creature
of the President alone with no power
to do anything legally, except to visit
Louisiana in the capacity Of private
citizens. Hayes. of course has great
faith in Commissions as he is indebted
to the partisan ratings of one for his
position, but it is doubtful. if the
people will be Satisfied to permit those.
