Arlington, once a lawyer in N. w.
Arkansas, and once in the Legislature
Of that State, and who died some years

puRLIsHED DAILY AND TRIWEEkLY By
EDGAR SNOwDEN-
MONDAY EVENING. APRIL %. 1877.

Among all those who have become proml'
peut By reason of association with the late
Southern troubles, the one pre'eminently en-
titled to the honor and respect, not only OF his
own section, Of which he is true representa-
tive, but of all bis countrymen whose praise 10
worth having, is Governor Nichols Of Louisiana
From the day he received the nomination OF
his party until now he has pursued the even
tenor Of his conservative way, which, hau 1or
it's objective poiot the disenthralmeot, not ouly
cf his own State, but of his country, from the
radical sway that was crushing out lis lite.
During the canvass he was az earnest III his eli:
forts to secure the election OF Tidcn rs his own,
and though the inducements that proved ettec
live 10 South Carolina were just as strong IN
Louisiana, they were not accepted, and neither
he nor his friends approved Of the policy to de-
liver his own State at the expense Of his whole
country, by advising his people 10 vote Tor him
certainly and for either Tidcn or Hayes, IS
they might choose. When the election had
been held and the true result Of it known, he
announced that the State had gone for Tilden
and Nichols, aud from that time until the
present has uuwaveringy maintained the truth
of his assertion, aud has positively refused to
listen to any proposition Tor compromise that
might eudauger conservative success either 10
the State or the nation. Aware that he had
right on his side, aud scorning 10 ask for more,
he determined to exact it, not as favor graft
e @; H. ,Ii oil IN
ceive which he would put the odum where 1t
belonged and revert his State to military rule.
No kilograms from him to Col. Mosby askln G
his services to procure Grants recognition; no
letters to Gov. Hayes, pending the decision of
the presidential question, and when everybody
knew that Mr. Tldeo had been elected,
asking recognition Of him also 10 case tho
commission should declare him elected. No,
he knew that his people had chosen him to be
their Governor, aud like tru, man, be de.
termiued to be their Governor, or let the world
know that this is republic only in name. Even
in his late letter to the President he refrains
from any pledges not to resort 10 physical force
in case of the withdrawal Of the troops, leaving
it optional with himself to use such force If it be
necessary 10 the execution OF his orders as Gov
ernor of the State Gov. Nichols is = true
exponent of Southern character Of the oldeu
time, which, ofsourse entities him to the adj
miration of all Southern meo, but the course be
has pursued will wiz him the respect Of all
right thinking men, 20 matter from whence they
hail.

A very noticeable circumstance attending the
successful working of President l[ayes's concl-
iatory Southern policy is not only the aacrty
with which some Of the hitherto ultra radical
newspapers, real bloody shirt wavers. adopt it,
but the facility with which they 'eat their own
words" and now praise completed acts which
when mediate they ransacked the vocabulary
cf abuse 10 deuouDcc.

THE Color LIHE. The Marshal OF the Dis
trict CT Columbia says that on no occasion has
the President received him or his friends at
the White House with other than respect and
cordially. 1t is not true that it is the duty OF

White House oo State occasions. The custom
which required him % do 50 was created by
The late war for obvious reasons. The Prcsi-
deaf, 10 calling him 70 the position, distinctly
told him that upon some occasions he would
probably want his services at the Executive
Mansion, and he took the position with the uE-
dorstaDding that lie would be subject to tie
Presidents call TO this duty or aby other not
inconsistent with his position.
