G. Wylie Wells, who represents
a Mississippi district in congress,
speaking for the Republicans in
that state, says that they propose
in the future to look after them.
selves with home aid. They will
ask no more favOrs of the north.
1t can take care Of itself. They
propose to man-and this comes
from careful deliberation-to stop
voting. At the next election in
Mississippi not Republican vote
will be cast. They propose to make
their power felt. They will have
their names crossed from the reg
istry lists and refuse to cast any
votes. They will leave the white
Democrats without oppositions
As a matter of course this will
breed factions among them (the
Democrats), and when a break does
come, the united votes of the Re-
publicans will make power to be
respected and conciliated, and not
intimidated. This is oil very nice
on paper, but it won't work. 81.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WnsllinRlnn. March L. lkii-

| Washington, March !, 1871.
Governor s. d. Packard, New Orleans
In answer to your dispatch OF
this date the President directs me
TO say that he feels It his duty to
state frankly, that he does not be-
lieve public opinion will longer
support the maintenace of State
government in Louisiana by the
use Of military, and that he must
concur in this manifest feeling.
The troops will hereafter, rs IN
the past, protect life aud property
from mob violence when the State
authorities fail; but under the re-
mining days Of his official life
they will not be used to establish
or to pull down either claimant for
control Of the State. 1t is not his
purpose to recognize either claim.
ant. C.. G.. SNIFFrN. Sec.
Washington. March 3.-Thc fol-
lowing telegram has just been sent
to Governor Nichols:
The President sent q dispatch to
Packard Thursday, notifying him
that troops could no longer be EN-.
ployed to uphold either claimant
and that he does not believe that
Packard would attempt any often
sive operations. The President
sent the dispatch SO that Packard
might have time to retire his pre-
tensions If SO disposed. The Pres
ident says instructions have been
issued which cancel all orders for
the preservation of the statu quo,
and that neither Nichols or Pack
ard are bound to observe it; that
he means that the people of Lou
isiana Ore as free in their affairs
from Federal interference as the
people Of Connecticut, and that
there will be no disposition to in
terfere with them any more than
with the people Of New York.
The President cOncurs with us
that you should immediately issue
proclamation urging protection,
amnesty and peace.
Being asked "If q posse execu-
ting process OF Nichols court
would be intel1ered with by the
military" he replied, "No more
than in any other State"
Being asked IF Nicholls's oifl-
GERS should take possession of the
Offices Of the State without mob
violence, would there be military
interfcrence!" Z" he replied, "There
would be none; that the military
would be used as il had been once
in New York, and as it would be
used in any Of the States to over
come o mob too formidable for the
civil power or State authorities"
We have submitted the forego-
ing dispatch 10 the President, who
has revised It with bis own hand,

THE II Err A Id
THE THIEF ACCOUNT. .
How,A Veteran Hotel keeper keeps Even with
sAN PIIIferers.

FROM the Indianapolis Aetatd
Steal = said the old man, in &C.
cents Of intense scorn. Steal . Why
YOU would be astonished to find how
large proportion of the travelling pub
lie are Internal thieves. They steal
the bed clothing, pillows, boot-jacks,-
soap. soap dishes-eyerything in fact,
which they can carry off. Every body
steals soap. We expect that and
don't kick. You'd be surprised to
hear that Ca noted Indiana poll
itician)makes practice of putting soap
into his valise every time he pays his
bill. He doesn't seem to use much of
it himself, but think he takes il home
TO his children. The first thing TO
be done when fellow comes to the
office to pay his bill is TO send por-
ter up to his room to see if anything
is missing When fellow comes
down with yalise in his hand we
are unusually suspicious The only
way TO get even with the thieves is to
keep thief account. Whenever
anything is missed | charge it up at
fair value and the next time | catch a
thief in the act | make him pay the
entire amount or 60 to Jail. One day
nice looking fellow came down
stairs with a valise in his hand and
inquired the amount of his bill. The
minute | saw him | knew he had
stolen something, so / rang the bell
and gave the porter the wink. |
pottered about the books while the
porter was gone, but | could see he
was getting uneasy. He had notion
TO bolt, but just then the porter came
down, and ! saw by his eye that
something was missing. / jumped
over the counter and grabbed the
rascal by the throat. Open that
valise you thief you, says !. lie got
very white about the gills and begin
to beg. When the valise was opened
sure enough there was new bed
spread for which had just paid SIS.
'Bill,' says l. bring me the thief ac-
count / footed it up and it amount
ed to just $50 You pay that, says
/, or 60 to jail He thought it was
very hard to have to pay for another
mems stealngs, but on the whole
concluded that it was cheaper than
to 90 to the penitentiary. Compound
ing felony? Well. yes, it did have
that complexion. But may be it nip
ped thief in the bud. The girls
are generally honest, though once in
while we catch one of them. One
time there was an internal peddler
stopped wife us, and he had black
satin vest stolen. | paid him IS for
it, lie described 1t very accurately.
There was yellow spot on the col
lar, where he had dropped some acid
on it, and his name in full was writ
ten on the leather with which it was
bound at the bottom. | suspected
the girl Mary. We watched her for
a week or two, and concluded we
were mistaken, when one day a fell
low came in with a black satin vest
and there was a round yellow spot
on the collar. 1t was Mary's sweet
heart. l coIlared him, jerked up his
vest and found the name of the tree
peddler on the leather. He owned
mp that Mary had stolen the vest and
given it to him. AT that time the
thief account was only 81, and so he
got off cheap

Mallory and Taylor.

The pooplo of Wisconsin have not
forgotten the Administration of Gov
ernor Taylor. His own party
friends, ever, do not want it repeated.
Should Judge Mallory be elected, a
worse fate will befali them. The
Milwaukee Wisconsin draws a
parallel between Mallory and Taylor,
and shows that Taylor is much the
better man of the two. 1t says:
When VIM. Il. Taylor was nomi-
mated by the Democratic party of
Wisconsin in 1873 for the office of
Governor, it was obvious to the
people that be had many good traits
Of character, which we regret TO say
do not belong to the present nominee
James A. Mallory.
VIM. Il. Taylor was OF strict tenn
perance principles, and carried into
the Governors chair most credita-
bic abstinence from Intoxicating
drinks. Gov. Taylor may have
been originally opposed to the war,
but after the conflict commenced he
eVinced patriotic spirit in sustaining
the Union soldiers in the field,
whereas it is we'll known that there
was not q more intense aud vlrulent
Copperhead il the State than was
Judg Mallory. lie wanted the
rebellious shareholders to triumph,
and drive back " Lincoln's hirelinG
bordes." These facts arc we'll
remembered by every individual in
Milwaukee who came in contact with
Judge Mallory. There was not in
our city more pronounced denoun-
Ger of the war than he.
Taylor always favored honest
money and q return, at not a distau t
day, to specie payments-that was
the platform upon which he was
nominated aud elected; while
Mallory is known to be utterly OPP
posed to the resumption of specie
payments and the advocate Of Q
financial policy which must fasteu
upon the country an irredeemablt
currency for all time to como. Ii
truth, for seven and thirty years
since the organization of The
Democatic party in Wisconsin, il
never stood upon platform more
dangerous to the future well being o
the country than the Fon du La
platform upon which Mallory wa
nominated, and for his known ap
proval of which no received the vot,
OF the Convention as the STANDARD
bearer of the Democracy. Tn
decent of the Democracy from ISL;
to 1877 under the lead of Judg
Mallory is the most degrading
spectacle ever witnessed in this state
The managers of the party SHOW
that they have no other principle bu
the hope of spoils and plumber.
