One of the strongest difficulties
.hich confronted Hayes in his Louis
ma policy, was the startling fact that
hy failing to sustain Packard he pro
nounced indisputabiy against the hon
. "ety of his own election. Packard
received more votes than Hayes in
Louisiana, was counted in by the same
Returning Board, and held the facts.
Now see how nimbly they get over
lis, and remember that the Counting
Boards are political saints for counting
Hayes in. and Williams for counting
packard in:
The commission, in their communi
raiio0s 10 the President, utterly dis
rove the policy which is maintained

ait is rumored that Tilden will take
legal steps to test the right of Hayes to
the Presidency as soon AS the troops are
removed from Louisiana and South Caro-
lima.
So says a contemporary. Too late,
Tilden has lost his opportunity. If he
had been a man of nerve as well as
brains he would now be President
Imagine Gen Jackson alive and at the
age of Tilden, and standing in his
shoes at the late election. Does any
body doubt what he would have done p?
Why, sir, with an energy that would
have thrilled the nation and broken
down all opposition he would have pro-
claimed, Il have been elected Presi
dent by the voice of the American peo-
pie and by the Eternal | will have my
place. and bravely would he have
fulfilled his words. The eagle would
have sprung to life upon his banners,
and the night owls of party. such as
Cameron, Chandler, Morton aud the
like would have shrunk from the flash
of his eye, and the grasp of his talons /;

which his hands made their purchases. He was

sisted it by Injunction. The case came up and
was ably argued on both sides, after which Judge
Harper rendered his decision, the memorandum
