PLACING CARPET.BAG ON
THE RETIRED LIST.

The order of President GRANT retir-
ing the troop, from further support of
the carpet-bsg governments is conclusive
evidence of a protocol drawn up and de-
llvered by the high contracting parties,
the friends of the incoming administrs-
ton and the Southern delegates in Con-
gress. The leaders, HILL end LAMAR,
having complied with their terms in
completing the count which carried
HAYES into the Presidency, the other
side of the contract is now being carried
out. 1t is said that the mission of
JOHN SHEREAN to Columbus few
days ago was to effect an understanding
whereby GRANT was to take the decisive
step in recognition of the NICHOLS
government, and thus relieve HAYES
from confessing the fraudulency of his
claim to the Presidency.
I. would seem that SHERMAN was sue
cessful, and GRANT has been brought tc
a qualification of his disastrous admins
tration, BY acknowledging that his poll.
cy for the last eight years has been in
opposition 10 public sentiment and un.
just 10 majority of the people.
1t was for the purpose of getting the
power Of local government into their
own hsnds-where by every.principle Of
right and justice 1t ought to be- that the
Southern property holders gave 3 solid
support to the candidacy OF Mr.. TILDES
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1877-03-03

The only national policy implied BY Mr..
TILpEN's candidacy in which the South
ern policy holders felt any direct interest
was that of withdrawing the arm OF ex'
ecutive interference in their affairs, and
letting the local governments pass from
the propertyless carpet baggers
and negroes into the hands OF
the white owners of the ceun-
try. For this the solid South would
have supported any candidate OF any
party name, if his candidacy had been
understood to mean this result. This
fact made the Southern property-holders
so active and zeslous in support OF TIL
DEN before the election, and the same
fact after the election was as effectively
used to forward the conspiracy to seat
HAYES upon fraudulent reversal OF the
outcome in those States where the car
pet-bag governments were in absolute
control. HAYES has gained what he
wanted, the Presidency, and the South
ern whites have accomplished what they
wanted, the control of their local govern
ments.

In answer to your dispatch of this date
the President directs me to say
that he feels that it is his duty
to state frankly that he does not
believe that public opinion will support
the maintenance Of State govern
ment in Louisian by use of the military,
and that he must concur in this mani
fest feeling. The troops will hereafter,
as in the past protect life aid property
from mob, violence, when State suthorl.
ties fail, but during the remaining days Of
his sfficisl life they will not be used to
establish or to pull down either claimants
for control of the State. 1t is not his
purpose to recognize either claimant.

Augur is informed that hereafter troops

are powerless to do so. The telegram to
Packard was TO the effect that the policy

Others, quietly slipped around the
chamber and made arrangements
with all the Senators to vote "no'
on the first vote taken on Seay
amendment to add $4,000 to the appro-
pristion for his pet. Sesy made really
GOOD speech in behalf OF his amendment,
and sat down to tremblingly await the
