The Louisiana commission is still y
work The general impression is that tn,
troops will be soon withdrawn from tn,
state house and that the Nichols legisla
ture will become the plainly legal one ant
declare Nichols elected governor. Pack
ard is gritty and does not intend to give
up if he can help it.
In souh Carolina all is quiet, though
Hampton has done foolish thing in shut
ting up offices in the state house OCCUPIED
by republican officials, whose title has no
been passed on by the Supreme Court. 1
would have been in better taste 10 have
waited the legal determination of the suit,
in the courts. Rev. Mr. Scott, the coorer
preacher, who was proclaimed in the Lvnr
Conference, last week, to have been shot
is now reported to be alive and well.
1t is very certain that the new policy y
is going to be tried and the country is
minded 10 give it u fair trial and abide the
result 1t rests with the southerners
themselves to satisfy the country that they
intend TO do the right thing. They are to
have the chance; we believe they will i'm
prove it but only time will tell

The ST. LOUIS FIRE.-The Southern
Hotel disaster in St. Louis last Wednesday
morning, though disastrous, was not a,
terrible as first reports mado it. The mum.
Der killed was ten or twelve, and only
four or five were burned. The fire was
discovered about one and one-half o'clock
A. NJ, and the hotel folks instead of wax
ing the guests relied on patting out the
fire (Which caught beneath and ran up the
eIevato) until too late to save all lives.
The worst features of the night were the
awful deaths of those trying to escape
from the fllh and sixth stories. Several
jumped from the windows and others
tried to descend by improvised ropes
much too short to reach the ground. Sew
eral succeeded in getting ropes and de-
scending upon them in safety. Kate Clax-
ton, the actress who escaped the Brooklyn
theatre fire, wrapped wet towels around
her head and found her way out from the
hotel in safety.

The Rutland Globe in long and inter
esting article, replies to the FREEMAN and
still maintains that the Phair reprieve was
illegal, and being so, that Phair is entitled
to his liberty. 1t quotes Blackstone to
show that we did not give the right delini-
ton of reprieye. 1t is true that We used
Webster's definition instead of the learned
W. BIS, and that while the former would
be the best before court of "them literary
fellers," the latter would be of more avail
in court of law. The distinction between
the two definitions is, however, one with.
out difference as we look at it, We still
think that the date fixed for execution in
the original sentence is the one that de-
termines the application of the term next
session of assembly," and, if this is 50, the
Globes theory that on this construction
another governor could reprieve after
session had followed the original dav OF
execution, is bud one. Such construc
ton would be as wild as the one under
which Gov. Holbrook exercised the par.
doning power. The only question Is what
is the next session Of assembly,"
