NEW YORK, Feb, y.
A Herald's Washington correspond
ent says, why Republicans should
be made happy by report that the
vote of Florida ". not to be scrutip-
lied By the commission, is not easy to
tell, unless they believe that they have
not honestly come by it. However thai
may be. Republicans were very happy,
and Democrats very gloomy. until cop
les of the formal orders OF the commits
sion began to Circulate in the House
and which, after be ng carefully read.
made the Democrats begin to think
the matter not so bad after all. The
Republicans. however, were affected in
the opposite way, and did not consider
the decision quite so favorable as at
first imagined. II now appears that
the first order is of Republican origin
aud WIS opposed by Democrats, while
the second was Just the reverse. The
decision OF the commission causes GET
eral disappointment and is regarded as
strictly partisan. 1t was hoped by the
best and wisest men of both sides that,
even ON such a merely preliminary
motion az this, there wonid be an M
partisan decision. The discussion is
said to ave been earnest. though en-.
tirely &, od-natured aud without bitter
ness. Cnlmer men of both sides see
that the order itself does not commit

that over transpirsI was, that the poem. In =

Beteld this ruin! Twas . skull,
Once of ETHEREAL spirit full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat.
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spotf
Whaidreams of pleasure long forgotf
Nor hope, nor love. nor joy. nor fear,
Has left one trace of record there.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye:
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye Employed:
If with no lawless FIRE it cleaned,
But through the dews of kindness beamed.
That eve shall be forever bright
Whom stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The cady. sw ift and tuncful tongue:
If "falsehoud's" honey it disdained,
AND where 1t could not praise, was chained; ;
II bold in virtues cause it spoke:
Yet gentle concord never broke;
That silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine'
Or with envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock wear the gem!
But little now avail to them
But if the page of Truth they sought,
And comfort to the mOurner brought,
These hands q richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth OF fame.

These feet the pathssof duty trod'
II fIom tho bowers of ease they fed,
To seek afiction's humble shed:
If grandeur's guilty brbe they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings should vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

THE LOUISIANA SITUATION.
The Nichols Men Of the Opinion
that The Packard Government
Will OiSband.

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Gov. Penn
and other prominent I,ouisianians here
expect that after the adjournment Of the
executive session Of the Senate the Presi-
dent will order the troops Withdrawn from
the State House without delay. These
Louisiana conservatives say that 80 far
as they have been able TO ascertain the
sentiment Of the several members OF the
Cabinet, there will be no dissenting voice
to such policy.
The theory Of the Conservatives is that,
upon the withdrawal OF the troops, the
adherents Of Packard will Immediately
abandon him, and that the entire Pack
ard State Government will disappear;
that the legally elected members OF both
the Packard and Nichols Legislatures
will then assemble and make new Leg.
islature, in the Senate OF which there
will be one Democratic majority,1while
in the House there will be a tie. That
this Legislature will then elect one Re-
publican and one Conservative 10 the
United States Senate, and that the diff
culties Of the Louisiana situation will
then disappear.
Assurances Of the most binding nature
have been given by the Democrats that
when the troops are taken from the
State Houses in New Orleans and Colum.
bia there shall be no violence or out.
break OF any kind. The understanding
here is that the troops will certainly be
ordered from the State House into the
barracks at very early day.

BIaine'S Home Organ Attacks
the New Administration.

WASHINGTON, March l4.--There ia
considerable talk here over the arrival OF
the Bangor Whig, the recognized Maine
organ Of Blaine, with an article on The
Hayes Cabinet, in which there il a bitter
attack on the new administration. The
article appears to have been written be.
fore II was known that the Senate faction
would not prevail against the President.
ave are all utterly disappointed, :" says
the Whig. din the hope that the rumors
would prove to have Been unjust to Pres.
ident Hayes, and that he would be too
sagacious to be Influenced by political
visionarieS, and too conscientious to
ignore obligations to the great
party which did battle for him
and elected him as the representa-.
tive Of its principles" Then it goes
on to lament the Presidents faulty
in believing that he can build up
personal party. 1t is especially severe
on Schurz and Key, but it has no compli,
ments for any Of the appointeeS, except
Mr.. Sherman, and 1t sadly notes the fact
that the seven men represent four Demo.
cratic and only three Republican States.
II closes as follows: "We have called il
the Hayes Cabinet because 1t is obviously
not Cabinet representative Of the great
Republican party. What the result Of
this remarkable action will be remains to
be seen."
