The farce of two Governments 10
now being played III louisiana and
Sonth Carolina, AS it was. in Arkansas
four years ago. Dispatches from Wash
ington say that the Representative in
Congress from those States, do not
expect to see it ended until after the
4th Of March. Then, it is asserted.
if Hayes is inaugurated Hampton will
step down and ont in South Carolina.
and Nichols will follow suit in Louis
lana, bur if Tilden isinagarated, Cham
berlain aud Packard will throw up the
sponge in their respective States. aud
lei the Democrats run them. So ac-
cording to these reports the control OF
the Government of two sovereign States
of the Union depends upon who Is
inaugurated President. This is not
a very desirable state Of affairs IN a
free and enlightened country. The
Governorships of South Carolina and
Louisiana should not depend upon
who is inaugurated President of the
United States Either one or thepther
of the claimants for the Governorship
in t6H disputed States has been legally
elected, and should be sustained, re-
gardless Of who is President.l 1t
should be the aim, and it ought to be
thetdnty of the courts; or of Congress,
TO ascertain who these persons are,
and see that they are sustained which
ever way the Presidential question
may be decided. Under no circum-
stances should the control of State
Government be permitted to depend
upon the political complexion of the
occupant of the White House The
politics of the President should not
determine who is Governor of q State,
where the popular majority is supposed
to elect THAT functionaryaapd the farce
of two, Governors, in two Of the, South
srn States, can only be exceIIed by the
gseater burlesque on a republican form
of Governments of having the inaug-
ufation of -Tilden or Hayes decide
which shall Temain IN power.
