THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.
President Hayes Dilemma.
lSnpcial deSnafch To the Rnsto,, Iournal \

Especial despatch to the Boston Journal)
WAsHINGToN, Earch 8.-The position of
President Hayes on the Louisiana and South
Carolina governments, as stated by one who
evidently knows, is one of great embarrass-
ment. In his own conscience be is convinced
that upon fair election, without intimidation,
both Packard and Chamberlain would have
been chosen by majorities ranging from twenty
to forty thousand He is also convinced that
the Returning Boards in Louisiana and South
Carolina Were created for the purpose of elimi-
mating fraud from the ballot box, and from pre-
venting the party that practices Intimidation
from prohtlng from its crimes. He regards the
action OF the Returning Boards through which
PACKARD and Chamberlain were declared to be
elected as the exercise of lawful jurisd iction,
necessary for the protection of weak voters and
for the repression of lawlessness and crime,
10 common with vast majority of the Repub-
licans in the United States. President HAYES
has no doubt whatever as to the validity of the
title through which Packard and Chamberlain
have become de facto governors; but the Presi-
dent is confronted with the fact that neither
OF these de fdcto governors can maintain
his position for a single hour without
the protection of the United States troops.
He is not permitted to decide which Governor
has valid title to the office but he is bound
to determine whether State government, too
weak TO stand alone, shall be propped up for
-FOUR years by federal bayonats. If it were con-
ceded on all sides that the Packard and Cham
"a, q
would still be grave question whether the
army should be detailed to execute the writs of
their courts and protect the executive office rs
from the violence of the mob. The constitu-
ton authorizes him to suppress insurrection
and violence in the States, but he is doubtful
whether the constitution warrants the mainte-
nance OF perpetual guardianship over State
governments too weak to stand alone. Whatever
the President may think, and whatever politi-
clans may say the Indications are that he
will have to waive his convictions as TO the
right and justice of the matter, and bow to the
inevitable law of force. Such is the outlook
this morning.

The Question of Removing 1.-THE Troops.
Considerable interest is felt in the meeting of
the Cabinet tomorrow, inasmuch as the i'm
preston prevails here that the question of re-
moving the troops from New Orleans will be-
the theme of conversation between the Presi.
dent and his advisers. So far as the members
OF the old Cabinet, who are still heads of the
Executive Departments, no designations having
been accepted, are concerned, there are plausi.
BILE grounds for the impression that the maiori-
ty of the opinion will be in favor of no change
from the present status quo. The whole sub
Ject is, however, likely to rest for the present
as there is no disposition on the part of the
PRESIDENT to make any move hastily.
