Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-A copy of The Ohio State
Journal of yesterday published at Columbus and re-
ceived here to-day, contained editorial leader on
the Louisiana question, in which a decided military
policy advocated. 1t asserted that the State of
Louisiana has been in condition of rebellion ever
since the 14th Of September, 1874, and urged the
President to recognize Gov Packard Immediately
and sustain him by the OF troops.
This article, published as it was at Gov. Hayes's
home, and in a journal which is supposed to reflect
in some degree his opinions, was circulated among
the Democrats this afternoon, and caused great ex-
citement and alarm. Many of the more conservative
men who had been strengthened in the policy they
have adopted by assurances they had received from
Gov. Hayes's friends were greatly shaken In
their confidence in the President-eect. They were
almost ready TO join hands with the ihusters unless
they were assured that Gov. Hayes was in no way
responsible for the sentiments above referred to. In
order 70 ascertain the facts, Stanley Matthews.
Charles Foster and ex-Gov. Dennison of Ohio sent
the following dispatch this afternoon, and received
the answer that is appended:
