The short despatch from our correspond
ent at New Orleans will attract attention.
Its purport is that the President telegraphed
yesterday to Packard Offering him the Col
lectorship Of the Port on condition that he
would step down and out as claimant to
cubernatorial honors. Packard is reported to
have replied that he would be Governor or
nothing. We rather like this spirited answer,
but we are better pleased with the evidence
the Presidents despatch affords that he has
made up his mind that Packard has no
recognizable claim to the Governorship.
Most assuredly President Hayes would not
have made such an offer to Packard to ''let
him down easy" if he were not convinced
that Packard has no valid title to the Office
which he now pretends to hold. Packard has
doubtless been seduced by Blaine's prepos-
ferrous splurge and his own wishes. Blaine
cannot help him. If the President sent
him such despatch as our New Orleans
correspondent describes his case is past
praying for. The offer OF the Collector
ship is significant rejection of his guber-
material claims. Packard is probably cred
ulous enough to expect that Blaine and the
bull-dozers will triumph over and COW the
President. We imagine he will get some
new light on this point before the week
ends. The action of the President shows
that he is as considerate and conciliatory as
he is firm and resolute ; but after such
despatch Packard is a fool if he thinks he
has any chance to be recognized as Governor.

TIE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER dreary story of
madhousc abuses appears in our columns today.
However the case may finally result it seems
already proved that in the essentials of personal
care and safety the asylum is inferior TO the
houc, and the unavoidable deduction from this
fact is that the attendants Of the Fatbush
Asylum arc either overworked or incompetent.

twice corrected in the public prints-once
in your paper and once in the Norfolk
Ledger. This county elected fifteen dele

stand eight for Malone and seven for Dan

not elected with reference to their prefer
ence for any man, and while they are calm

This is mistake, and was doubtless caused

one less, il not two, than the Herald gave
