GOV. PACKARD'S INTENTIONS.
AN INCENDIARY ARTICLE.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1912 NJ.
A large crowd of colored people have
assembled around the State House,
where the Republican leaders are ju-
bilant over the news from Washing
ton. Gov. Packard declines to state
what measures, if any. he will take to
secure obedience to his proclamation
of this morning, further thar the
statement that it is his earnest desire
to avoid blood>hed and create a bitter
ness against his administration in The
future. He is now in consultation
with the Judges of the Supreme Court.
Both Legislatures balloted for SEN
ator to-day without choice. Pinch
back received one vote in tho Repub
lican Legislature.
The Democrat, referring to the prob
abilities of Gov. Packard attempting
to retake the courts and police stations,
SAYS the. party. however, is playing a
dangerous game. The patience of the
people is we'll nigh exhausted, and if
they are forced into a conflict in which
it is calculated and designed to again
rob them of The government OF their
choice aud the blessings of an honest
and efficient administration, their
wrath will be difficult 10 restrain, and
we, for one, hope no hand will be able
to restrain. II Mr.. Packard forces this
conflict, we appeal to our friends to
spare, as far as final and complete vic
tory will permit, the lives of the Met
ropolitans and their negro dupes. We
advise them to let the ful, weight of
their vengeance fall upon the leaders
| of this iniquitous and most damnable
scheme, and to follow Packard into his
hotel and, if need be, into the Custom
house itself and hang him from its
highest window.

DESTROYS Of recognizing the Packard
government for a long time, but de-
layed doing so until yesterday, when
he had received all the data in an Of

called, but the President acted thus
simply because he believed Louisiana
matters were fast drifting into a state
of anarchy. 1t is believed his orders
to Gen.. Angur will enable Packard to
maintain himself as tho legal Gov

A FOND FATHER.

A Coast exchange tells the following
heart-rending tale of a dutifnl son
A New Workers. prodigal son had
wandered away to Virginia City. The
patrimony he took with him having
been exhausted, he telegraphed as one

in the Consolidated Virginia this morn
ing by a falling cage. What shall we
do with the renains?" In response a
telegraphic order for $3.50 vas received.
with the laconic request. 'Bury theiu."
The young mar took the money ard
had an elaborate spree. When he was
in condition for writing. he sent by
mail to his father the following: II

FleORIDA.

1t has been some time since We
have received any te~legraphic informa.
ton concerning the state of the electo.
raj returns in Florida. We at our
last advices received the impression
that the action of the Returning Board,
in obedience to the mandamus of the
Supreme Court, had finally settled the
question in favor Of the Hayes electors.
We learn, however, from the New
York Herald Of the 9th instant, that
such is not the case. The writ of
mandamus merely covered the case Of
the gpbernatorial vote, and the matter
of the presidential vote is still under
the consideration of the House Com.
mittee. Moreover, it is expected that
this committee, composed of three
Democrats and two Republicans, will
make a unanimous report in favor of
the Tilden ticket. The two Republi.
cans are Mr.. Dunnell of Minnesota
and Mr.. WOODBURY. Of Nevada. Wood
burn was very non-committal when
interviewed, ana declined to say
whether or lot he would make a
minority report. He was undecided,
he said, as he had not yet Q the
report of the majority. Dunnell, on
other hand, while not distinctly
committing himself, has given it to

We have not received a copy of Sem
ator Edwards bill providing for the
government Of the State Prison, and
we are not therefore prepared to pro-
nounce any decided opinion on the
question. We do know, however, that
the present state of affairs there is a
disgrace to tho State and greatly inn
pairs the efficiency Of the prison. The
following extract from a letter of
"Fritz," the lively correspondent of
the Enterprise, will.explain the situa-.
ton. Edwards bill passed the Senate
by q vote ;of 10 to s.: "There was no
conservative influence in the bomb
which General Edwards threw into the
State Prison crowd, in the shape of his
bill providing that the Warden and
Deputy Warden be elected by a joint
vote OF the Legislature. General Kit
trell, who you know is Warden lily.
mans firm friend, was frantic, and
actually wished to address the Senate;
and when it passed, through the infu-
ence and votes Of the Democrats,
weeping and g~nashing of teeth was the
order Of the day. And it does seem a
little singular that a Democratic Senate
should attempt to create. an Office for a
Republican, for on a joint vote Of
course they can, If they like, elect a
Republican. But the idea is that it
will put AZ end to any further State
Prison Investigations, which, II any
attention were paid to the Governors
message, was in order. The last III
vestigation cost the State $1,000, and
another thousand will have to be paid
to the widow Of c. E. belong for his
services as attorney in the case. There
has boon nothing but war for the last
two years between Governor Bradley
and Hyman. The Governor believes
he is unfit for the position, but as he
constitutes but one Of the State Prison
Board he is powerless to remove him,
while Kittrell and Minor, and other
members, desire to retain him. For
some time it was a question whether
Minor was favorable to Hyman or not;
but they say Kittrell bulldosed him to
stand in. The consequence of this
wrangle Is that the State is the loser.
The Governor, Is a member of the
State Prison Board, should visit that
institution once a month; but, not be-
ing on speaking terms with Hyman, l
am informed he has not done so for
two years. Again, on all legal matters
Of importance to the State he should
consult the Attorney General; but, not
being as friendly as he might with
Kittrell, he, of course, does not ask his
advice. Altogether it is a badly mixed.

PEN AND SCISSORS.

Says the Carson Appeal: The Loui
siana imbroglio was repeated last even
ing in the city Of Carson. 1t was in
connection with the Third House OF
the Legislature, but fortunately no
battle or bloodshed was the result.
The Packard wing of the House had
possession OF the District Courtroom
and Jail. and the adherents Of the Mich
OILS government had possession of the
Capitol and the neighboring saloons.
The police and militia were out in
strong array, and the excitement ran
high on the streets. Every now and
then the Packard government received
accessions from the outside, and at
latest accounts the Governor was CIV
ing his inaugural to the people. Presi-
dent Grant as yet has not recognized
either party, and consequently bull
dosing is still rife in our midst.
The Virginia Enterprise of Sunday
says: This community is in no state Of
mind to be trifed with about confla-
grations. Any II caught setting fire
to dwellings would be sent to king
dom come by a short route. The Of
ficers are active, too, and keeping ears
as we'll as eyes open. Night before
last a young fellow named A. b. Hoff-
man, while in a saloon, talked loudly
about the hard times now prevailing.
In his heat he expressed the wish that
the BANKED town might burn down
again, which calamity would, in Mr..
HOffman's opinion, revive trade and
give everybody something to do. Of
