Tho Political Condition.

The general features Of our political affairs
have undergone no material change the past
three weeks.
In Louisiana, Nichols, the Democratic Cover
nor, has been inauguratcd, aud his government
has taken possession of all the police stations
and Court rooms in New Orleans, while the
Packard Legislature aud authorities hold only
the State House. The s1nc cu m Of affairs
exist in Louisiana that is cursiug tits State
They have II defeated Radical Governor anl II
bogus Radical Legislature attempting to force
its authority upon the people, while the honest
| ly elected Democratic Governor, Legislature and
other State officers are fully organized rs State
government, and the people stand finn in their
support.
Packard, the prctcndcr, has called upon Grant
for military assistance to sustain him in the at
tempt to force his government upon lte people,
but the President refuses to take any action in
the matter. At an extraordinary session Of the
! cabinet last Sunday, he said:
There will he two naugurations of|Govcrnor

In Florida, Drew, the DcYjccr,tic Governor
and the other State officers were iuaugurated
last Monday, and it is supposed there will be 10
eiicctual opposition to their authority,
The Presidential outlook is still cheering, to
our mind. The people all over the North arc
holding large mass meetings and temnndiug
honest and fair count, and that the candidate
elected President shall be inaug9atod. These
'"cc'inss are participated in by lading men of
| both parties and \ large prcponlersncc of in
| tluencc is decidedly in favor of Tilden.
Next Monday, we think, is the dny appointed
by tho Constitution for the counting of the
Presidential vote in Congress, Upon the man
ncr Of counting it is expected that a long and
bitter discussion win be engaged in by leading
members of both parties in 1rsss, 50 that We
may not learn the final result 10: some weeks.

The cotton recovered by the proper owner
