New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-02-03

turb the Statu in quo or in any manner to
take advantage OF the other, the President
will promptly direct General Augur to
assume charge of the affairs of the State,
and establish q military government,
to continue until the civil ques-
ton is decided. He said that both Packard
and Nichols are behaving extremely well,
and that their respective followers are ex-
hibiting extraordinary fOrbearance toward
each other; Nichols, with SO many hot
headed and impetuous young men among
his adherents, is much to be commended.
General Grant does not know what Mich
oils motives are, but he simply judges him
by his acts.
These views as to the policy of the Presi-
dent. pending the settlement of the presi-
Dental controversy, have been communi-
Gated in detail to Messrs. Packard and
Nichols and to General Augur. In refer
ence to the condition of affairs in South
Carolina, the President thinks there will
be no change in that quarter until the pres
idential question is settled; the situation is
different from that in Louisiana. Here the
Hayes electors have q majority of all the
votes, and while Chamberlain tell considera-
bly,. behind, but with the illegal votes cast in
Edgefeld and Laurens counties thrown
| out, he also has majority; but matters
will be permitted to remain as they are un-
til the national issue is adjusted. General
Grant said to-day that the disposition oi
the latter question will lead to the speedy
determination OF the former. In speaking
of Governor Chamberlain he paid high
tribute to that gentleman, saying that he
| considers him a man of superior education
| ability and purity of character.

The IryestIratora.

The congressional committees ara. stll
hard at work on the Louisiana case, zue
that they expect to develop anything new,
but they wish to keep the matter upper
most in the public mind.
Littleield, with his startling disc losures
about Vernon, was followed BY M AddUz
and Pickett. OF the former, it has been
shown his testimony effects nothing, ana
his own villainy is all he had to disclose.
Maddox seems to have proved himself a
traitor to all with whom he had any deal
ings. Having failed to do as he prom ise,
the Democrats have now taken him up fDE
csstigation, and it is well to leave hm IN
their tender mercies. Pickett, the thirE
man of wonderful knowledge, has had his
fame fixed up by the local papers already .
The PicayuNe locates him as a graduate o S
West Point; but General CulIum m axes no
mention of him in his elaborate registez,
The Times says he was a former partner m
this city of Mr.. Galloway, a respe ctable
broker; yet Mr.. Galloway never heard of
him until he saw his name in the papers
Light begins to dawn on the average
American mind that the congressional eOzr-
mittees are engaged in a very disreputabls
show business; that their witnesses ara Cd
just about the moral consistency of Bar
NUNS woolly horse and Fejee mermaid.
Turning from this phase of the sub jeCt
however, we are met with the following
neOrceau from the testimony of General An
derson, delivered yesterday, which is plain
direct and unambiguous:
He had known Maddox, to shake hands
with him, for twenty five years; never had
two minutes talk with him; did not hear,
in New Orleans, of any proposition from
Governor Wells to sell out the State; Gov
ernOr Wells gave witness no informant ion Of
conversation with Maddox; Wells never
spoke to witness of money for witness or
negro members of the board; General An
dersOn WAS not present when the returns OF
Vernon parish were opened.
Question-Was there any proposition
made by any one in relation to the use Of
money to affect the declaration of the re-

General Grant's southern Policy.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes, under date of
January %:
The President said to-day that he is still
being much pressed by the friends of the
rival political parties in Louisiana to act in
their interests. He has uniforKly declined
to recognize either, and has no intention of
changing his policy under any eircum-
stances Whatever short of a formal show
ing of the results of the election by the
congressional committees. He thinks that
at this juncture and in view Of the surround
ing circumstances it would be in extremely
bad taste for him to do otherwise. He says
that under the decision of Chief Justice
Taney, in the Rhode Island case, it is fully
in his power to settle the question without
the participation of Congress; but that, in
view of the peculiar situation, politically,
he does not feel justified in exercising that
authority. The result of the election in
Loaisiana hangs largely upon the reports
of committees, and their reports will per-
haps settle the count of the electoral
vote OF the State and the President
does not wish by any act on his part
to PREJUDICE the case. The President ex-
plsined at some length to-day the eempli-
Gated questions growing out of the vote for
electors in certain districts of the State. He
said that in these districts, if the entire five
electors we're elected, then Packard may be
declared the legal Governor; If not, then
Nichols may be so recognized. ~ there.
fore, he were to exercise his own judgment
and recognize either, 1t might be considered
equivalent to the national executive set
ting the question of the count. He stated
most positively that until the presidential
controversy is settled he should leave that
impOrtOnt question unimeunbered. It is
his intention to maintain the existing condi-
-
parties, and the military commander has
been fully instructed 10 this eject. In case
of an aggressive movement on the part of
sither Of the rival factions, designed 70 dis

A good old colored man named Uncle Jim
Hill set himself up the other day as a
phrenologist, and barber was his first sub
jeot. He placed the barber on chair, felt
of his head for long time,' and then re-
marked: "William, you is too sanguine.
When you lend money you expect it back.
you hasn't the necessary character; you isn't
hopeful; you is bowed down with grief most
of de time; you has an ear for music; you has
de worst feet on Kentucky street; you is de
right sort of a man to wheel coal down hill
for big wages" William rose up, pitched
Uncle Jim over the stove and under the
bed, and split a panel of the door as he
went out. The aged phrenologist was at
the City Hall next evening to get advice
from the police, and when advised to go out
of the trade he replied: "Seems like l shall
have to, for Pze getting too aged to be frown

Miss Helen Taylor, Mr.. John Stuart Mills
stepdaughter and the lately elected mem
ber OF the London school board, has just
had public banquet given her by the lib
eral party in her district of Southwark. The
new lady members of the board appear, if
anything, more business-like than their
brother officers. For instance, at one of the
recent meetings Mrs. Surr rose and observed
that it had been the habit of some mem
bers of the board to rise three or four times
in the course of an afternoon "Only to ex-
press mere fluent verbosity respecting what
had been said by previous speakers. She
felt bound to protest against this waste Of
time, and moved that the board clock be so
placed as to be visible to the majority Of
members, so that they might see the amount
of time they occupy IN hearing themselves
talk. Mrs Surr, on the suggestion of some
members, withdrew the motion, but ex.
pressed hope that what she had said
would have some good eject.

Several days journals we're approved,

Mr.. Detiege said the object was to have a

on the seating of Senators Kelso and Baker
one Senator had refused to vote, but the
President had ordered the recording of the
ballot as quorum present, and on the bal
loting for United States Senator Senator
had refused to vote, and the President had
declared in consequence that there was no
election.
Mr.. MoMfllen introduced a resolution re-
ducing the number of sergeants-at-arms to
the limit of the law, which was laid over,
and Mr.. Gracien bill apprOpriating
$l234 32 for the relief of James Koppel, for
provisions furnished the militia in 1873,
which was referred to the Committee on
Claims.
Mr. Seveignes gave notice of bill repeal
ing the tax on medicines and license on

The Senate being notified, there were ten
Senators and fifty seven Representatives in
