to break out into mutiny on The least

about eight hundred, are largely Till

aggregating over one hundred men,
there are only seven prepared to as

conviction that he has been the choice
ofthe people. In conversation to-day
with men at the arsenal, it was be,
lieved that they are seriously asking
advise from the bes; legal authorities
as to how far they are compelled to
go in obeying the orde is of supe-

TUESDAY JANUARY %, 1877.
TIL, IEGIsGAfUHE.

The Senate has undertaken the
bill to amend the charter Of the
Clifton Forge r. r., to connect
the Canal at Buchanan with the
c. IL .. Il. r., at Clifton Forge.
There is a serious opposition to the
bill on the part OF those who say
that every dollar spent in it is lust
SO much more to be lost when the
Canal goes to sale as it is destined
to do. Its friends deny this, and
say that with 400 convicts for one
year, the State to be at all cX-
pense of feeding, clothing and
guarding them, they can build the
road, and bring cheap coal and
iron together.
Major Daniels bill to give the
laborcrs on Railroads a means of
securing their debts is said, by
some, to Eo a bill in the interests
Of lawyers, because the expense OF
the remedy would eat up small
claims.
The House has had furious de-
bate on the bill to reinfranchise all
duclists. 1t was defeated on We'd,
ncsday, receiving only bare ma
ioritv, but this was sufficient to se>
cure Il reconsideration. To pass it
requires two-thirds vote. The

THE LOUISIANA CASE.

The Louisiana commission arrived at New
Orleans on Thursday night, and ON Friday
had interviews with Gov. Nichols and with
Packard. Packard produced the figures to
show how much more right he had to the vote
of Louisiana than Hayes, and expressed tho
greatest indignation at the idea that he was
to be abandoned. Gov. Nichols demons
stra,ed to the entire satisfaction of tho COM
mission the universal obedience which is
yielded to his rule. The commission gave
both the gentlemen to understand that they
did not, as the agents Of the President, as
sumo to have any power to decide between
them, and that their Office was strictly of
mediatorial nature. They assured Mr.. Pack
ard that i, would be simply impossible for
them to undertake the investigation sugees-
ted in his letter to the President The first
day has satisfied Packard and his friends that
what little hope they had left may as well be
surrendered. This has had the effect TO IN
loosen their tongues, and they are threaten
ing most damaging revelations. 1t is said
that full expose of tho secret manipula'ions
of the returning board will now DO given, and
the modus operandi by which Hayes obtained
the electoral vote of Lou siana laid bare be-
fore the world

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6, 1871
Overcome by the fstigues of his place, or in
a moment of absent mindedness, when not
principle or precedent nor tho eternal fitness
of things seemed to have weighed with him,
the President the other day appointed man
postmaster at Fremont, Ohio, for whom a
majority of his fellow citizens had expressed
preference by ballot. Thus one by one he
removes the steps from the ladder by which
he himself climbed to Office. First, the poor
African in the South, for whom alone the
Presidential heart bled when Tilden was
known to be fairly elected in November, is
turned over, bound and naked. to the bar
bsrians of the section, and that with a CELEBRITY
which Mr.. Tilden could not have excel!ed !;
and now the sacred aud fundamental and in
dispeDsable administration idea that minors
ty is better than a majority is disregarded
In this blind and reckless way the President
will yet make his position so absurd that, like
the darhey when the day Of Judgment was
thought to be at hand, he will Htake to the
woods"
The height Of absurdity will be reached if,
as is reported, Governor Nichols of Louis
lana shall employ Stanley Matthews as At
torney to represent his case before the Louis
lana Commission. Matthews proved to his
own and Justice Bradey's satisfaction tina,
Hayes had carried Louisiana, and now pro-
poses to show that Packard, who had more
votes than Hayes, was defeated. Matthews
will be an object of ridicule to every man in
the United States if he goes in this way
Meanwhile, Packard emphatically refuses
to make any compromise and asserts that his
case is stronger one than that of HAYES.
In this no will be credited by everybody,
and he will have the sympathy and support,
alter a while. of the bulk of the Republican
party it he stands by his guns and refuses to
be made a "vassal." Nichols is gaining
members of the Senate and House from day
to day from the Packard Legislature, the re-
oruits being influenced probably by secret
pressure from ministration circles here.
Hayes may fear the effect upon himself, his
administration, and his supporters of an open
abandonment of Packard. and his friends (al-
ways without his knowledge) may in this un-
derhandcd manner seek to detach supporters
from Packard to such an extent that he will
be compelled to take himself ont of the way
Thus the pledges made TO Lamar. Gordon and
Ellis, in February (without Hayes knowl-
edge) may be kept, and still an open and
fragrant though no. less disgraceful breach
of faith on the part of the President be
avoided.
Since the war there has been spent nearly
$500, 900 000-onc- third of our whole debt
on the Army and Navy alone. Even if Pres
ident Hayes shall promptly withdraw troops
from the South, there will remain question
to be settled at the Extra, Session of Congress
in June to the amount of money TO be ap-
propriated In view of this enormous og-
eregate in time of peace, a more careful
investigation, even than those of the past few
sessions. into the manner of its expenditure,
would seem TO be in order. MEMO.

THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION.

The Alexandria Gazette says: eve are
rather curious to know what the Louisiana
Commission will report when it returns to
Washington. Its members are supposed to
be men of ordinary understanding, who read
the newspapers, and are informed OF what is
daily transporting around them. IF that sup
position be correct they must know now as
we'll as they will after they reach New Or
leans that Gov. Nichols knows that be was
fairly elected that everybody else in the
State is aware of the same fact, and that all
the white people, with tut few exceptions, and
all the respectable colored people, scknowl-
edge it. They must also know that Gov.
Nichols and the State and parish officers who
respect his authority are in possession of al
most the entire State, save the State House,
which is guarded by U. s. troops and that
the life of the State-its tax payers-acknow>
edge him to be the Governor and pay his COL
lectors. This information alone must lead
them to believe that Gov. Nichols could,
under no circumstances, be induced to enter
into compromise with Packard, who, they
mus. also know, has no title to the position
he claims other than that afforded by the
bayoue.s of U 8. soldiers, but supplemental
to that knowledge they have the positive as
severation Of Gov. Nichols to the effect tina.
he will agree to no bargain or contracs, and
will accept nothing but the Office to which
the people of his State have elected him, and
the right of the U. s. Government to deprive
him of which he utterly denies. Knowing
all this. as they must do, We cannot imagine
how they can make their port, prepared in
New Orleans two weeks hence. differ from tho
parture from Washington.

it to slumber. In tic present Council COM

been procured and tested, and we presume
the necessary information in regard thereto
obtained. At the regular meeting of the

will make its report and the subject be
brought up for final action. That such &C.
