THERE seems to be slight hitch in
Hayes Southern policy, and every day
serves but TO demonstrate that it is o
delusIon and a snare. If His Frandu-
lency intended to pacify the people Of
the South and to recognize their right
to the common Inheritance Of free
American States, there was little use
or sense in his sending a commission
to Louisiana with instructions not to
inquire into and report upon the facts
connected with their late election and
canvass, but to patch up compromise
by which Nichols should be recogniz
ed as Governor while no damaging re-
Elections should be cast upon Hayes,
who received nearly a thousand less
votes than Packard. If he really
meant that the people of that State
should be entrusted with the right to
control their own local affairs unawed
by Federal bayonets, it would have
been an easy matter for him to have
Withdrawn the troops and the thing
was already accomplished for the peo-
pie would then have established and
maintained their own government.
Packard's usurpation has none of the
following or support of the intelli gent,
high-minded, tax-paying people Of the
State, and without the backing of Fed
eral bayonets ouldquicklyfa fadeawa
But Hayes fears to assume the re-
sponsibility, for he knows that Pack
ard and his hackers have the dead
wood on him, and understand fully
the wicked and fraudulent means by
which he obtained his title to the
Presidency, and no amount of argur
ment, or pursuasion has been able to
induce them TO back down., Packard
tells Hayes plainly that his title to the
LouisianaGovernors ia much clear,
er and better than that of Hayes to the
Presidency, as he received over seven
hundred more votes than the Hayes
Electors did, and he backs this asser.
tion by the fact that after the Return
ing Board had thrown out enough
votes to elect him and all the members
of the Legislature, they had to throw
out lot more in order to be able to
count in four of the Hayes Electors
This sending of a Commission to that
State to be paid out of the public
treasury and with legally power to do
nothing is rather gauzy, and it will ut
ferly fail of the purpose for which it
was artfully designed, that of conceal
ing the stupendous fraud by which the
people were cheated of their choice.
