AT q meeting of the Board of Directors
of the LsmOlle County national bank,

on the 10th inst, to take action concerning
the death Of their late president, Judge

adopted.
ResOlUed, That in the recent sudden death
OF the Hon. Lucius II. Noyes of Hyde Park,
we are deeply sensible that this community
loses one Of its most valuable citizens. One,
who, in all the relations of life public aud
private 70 ordered all his ways that he
richly merited as he largely received, the
highest respect, esteem aud confidence of all
who knew him. and that this association
with which he was so long connected as its
principal officer, loses its most wise, prudent
and efficient manager.
Resolved, That we tender TO the family
of the deceased the expression of our heart
felt sympathy under this bereavement, by
which We fully realize they suffer an IRE
parable loss, and we give them assurances oil
our highest appreciation of the worth, virtue
and sxcellencies of him for whom they have
so much reason to mourn.
q. s. NOyes was elected to fill the vacancy
caused by Judge NOyes' death, and Carol
S. Page elected vice president in place o

BRIGHT HOPES AHEAD.
For Nichols and Louisiana
Breakers In Front Of Packard.
Grants Positive Assurance and
the Sacred Promise Of Hayes.
Wells and Anderson in Despair.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Louisiana
delegation, with e. A. Burke, called on
the President this morning and was
well received. Assurance was given by
Gen. Grant that he would not recog-
nize the Packard government, but
would leave the matter to be settled by
Hayes, whose policy will not be embar-
rassed by any action of Grant.
Leading Republicans have induced
the President to keep his hands off the
Southern States, and have agreed, on
behalf OF Hayes, not to interfere with
the Democratic governments in Louisi-
ana and South Carolina.
The protest against the action Of the
Electoral Committee In Louisiana case
was begun to be read in joint session.
Kenner, Kennedy and Maddox will
testify to-day before the House Com
mittee.
Wells aud Anderson now despair OF
Louisiana. They say that the accept
ance Of Hayes by the Southern Demo-
Gratis means the recognition of Nichols
and Hampton. u. l.. J.

THE PRE- >InENT.
His Views Of the Louisiana and South
... Carolina Cases.
He will Leave Them to Ills Successor to
Determine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-In regard to
Louisiana, the President will not under
take to decide as between Packard and
Nichols unless he ID compelled to do 80
In consequence Of some open demon
gtration against the peace. He believes.
however, that Paokard's government
could only be sustained by the presence
of troops and that, as there remained
but two weeks OF his administration, he
would hardly feel justified In taking any
action, for his successor might not enter
tain the same Views as to the use OF the
military in support Of State authority ;
The President, In speaking Of the po-
litical status OF South Carolina and
Louisiana. said that the cases were ex-
tremely dissimilar, and could ha.dly be
treated under one general link Of action.
In South Carolina the contest has as
sumed such phase that the whole
army OF the United States would be
inadequate to enforce the authority of
Gov. Chamberlain; that the people OF
that State had resolved not to resort to
violence, but adopted mode OF resist
ance much more formidable and effeo-
tive than armed demonstration. They
have refused to pay their State taxes,
and 1t would be useless to sell cut their
property, as no one would buy It., and
unless Chamberlain could compel the
collection Of taxes it would be utterly
useless for him to expect to maintain
his authority for any length OF time.
This state of affairs must inevitably
result ia the abandonment Of all efforts
by Gov. Chamberlain to maintain him
self In the exercise of gubernatorial
functions OF the State OF South Caro-
lima.

lOUtSIANA SAFE.
If Her Sons viii be Patient u
While Longer.
Grant Willtot Interfere in Favor
OF the Packard Government.
Nor Would Hayes be Desir0us OF
Being Burdened with Packard.
Especial to the N. o. Demoorat.l


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Presi dent
has heard two delegations in connection
with Louisiana affairs to-day, repre-
senting the situation there, and both
aaling that Packard be not recognized.
He received both delegations cordially
and listened to them attentively. The
result bears out the predictions recent
ly made In these dispatches.
The President will not recognize
Packard. / am informed that this de-
cision liz mainly due to Republican in
tluences. The friends of Mr.. Hayes
say that they do not want his admins
tration burdened with the helpless
Packard government for the next four
years, as Grants administration has
been with the Kellogg government for
the last four.
President Grant is in position to ap-
preciate this feeling, for he has had to
bear the chief part of the Kellogg dead
weight himself, Congress having In
variably shown disinclination to help
MIN out In time of trouble. For these
reasons the President IL inclined to let
the whole matter rest In stdt,t quo dur
ing the remainder of his term, IL possi-
BILE, and thus transfer to his successor
the privilege of adopting q Southern
policy to suit himself.
Nothing short of o violent outbreak
lin Louisiana could induce the President
to interfere now. This suggestion need
not inspire Packard and company to
manufacture an outbreak to order after
the fashion OF the assassination pro-
gramme the other day, for any such
scheme would be instantly detected
here and would fall flat. My pur.
pose in making the suggestion is
To calm the excitement OF your
people, and to exhort them to
BID patient few weeks or
days longer, because their fate
for four years may depend upon
their fortitude at the present time.
Therefore, say that nothing short of
an attempt on the part of the people of
Louisiana to destroy the Packard fraud
by violence could possibly give 1t any
countenance at the hands Of the au-
thoritiea here. The Presidents position
liz most impartial and manly, and he 10
imbued with the most worthy motives
toward the people of Louisiana, while
the friends Of Mr.. Hayes are altogether
averse to any policy which would result
In saddling the new administration with
the burden of sustaining fraudulent
State government In defiance of the will
of the people.
After the last four years. experience,
IL may seem almost mockery to ask
your people to be patient yet little
longer; but that is the word, neverthe-
less, and in 1t is embodied your saliva
tion, BUELL..
