Grant and Packard.

The Columbus Ohio Sunday Herald
tells the following story, as of its own
knowledge, but it would be well to wait
for confirmation before implicitly be-
lieving it: "a short time previous to
Hayes Inauguration, President Grant
was on the point of fully recognizing
Packard as Governor Of Louisiana, and
would have done so had not Stanley
Matthews gone to him, and in the name
Of Hayes. asked him to let the matter
the glory 81 discredit Of settling it him
self. Matthews asked this. knowing that
he. in connection with Foster, Lamar
and Brown, had engineered betrayal
of the Republicans of the South, and
that they had woven their net Of treaeh-
cry and fraud SO skillfully about the
honest and patriotic President elect,
that he could probably not escape them.

Gen'l Quotations. Ex.

The market opened with moderate inquiry,
but buyers claiming concessions which factors
were unwilling to grant, the movement was
almost entirely suspended during the morning,
after which parties came together more freely,
but the sales. nevertheless, were confined to the
limited amount noted above.
Operations were restricted not only by sellers
and buyers failing to come together, but also by
the latter being unable to find the kinds wanted
in the unsat sfactory assortment offering. In
many cases factors adhered to their previous pre-
tensions; in others they were willing to meet the
dema I'd at ruling rates. The dispatches reported
Liverpool frmer and fractionaly higher, the quo

A Nevada Trick .

Somebody in Nevada has been play
ing trick with the laws of that State
which is somewhat similar to the trick
played in Missouri by the Chief Clerk Of
the House Of Representatives. In Mis-
souri, law affecting insurance compa-
MES was stolen or concealed; in Nevada
the charter of Virginia City was altered
surreptitiously so as to exempt the b.
nanza mines from paying any bullion
tax. The amendment was made by
knows yet who did it. Unless it can be
set aside, the owners of the Bonanza
mines will save 100000 by it, and sus-
picions, which are not strange under the
circumstances, are entertained that the
alteration was made at their procure
ment,

In the opinion Of Mr.. Dan Chamber
lain, late chief OF the carpet. baggers in
South Charolina, sit is beyond intelli-
gent dispute or reasonable question"
that it was the official duty OF the ma
tional executive ITO protect the lawful
government OF Louisiana from domes-
tic violence by the military forces OF the
United States, and to make the measure
of that protection, as well as of It's con-
tinuance, the extent necessary to render
Gov. Packard's authority effective
throughout the State" No doubt all
the bloody shirt malcontents. from
Blaine down to the vilest thief that
moved Southwark to prosecute the
trade OF larceny, concur In that opin-
ion. It is not worth while to combat it,
for 1t Is plainly not beyond intelligent
dispute or reasonable question that q
body of persons styling themselves a
government who cannot execute q law
nor lay tax nor collect enough revenue
to pay a tavern blinded, who re-
quire the protection OF a Gordon Of SOL
diers from abroad to guard their persons
from the wrath OF an indignant poru-
lace--is not and cannot be nationally
considered as lawful government. Re-
publican government depends for Its
support upon the assent OF the gov
erned, and not upon any prop OF exter-
nal bayonets sent to uphold it against
the will OF the governed. No matter by
what legerdemain of ballot-boxing or
fraud of returning boards such persons
may claim to have been elected, militia
ry force cannot be the basis Of any law
full republican government. In appeal
ing to the arm OF war against the very
basis of all civil power in republic.

MIXED DRINKS.
The Hoard Of Health Of Milwaukee Tnves
tjgating Fancy Drinks.

The Board OF Health OF Milwaukee
has authorized the employment of q
competent person to test the various
fancy drinks made and sold at the
various retail bars in that city," Here
is a beautiful opening for some Of the
politicians who have recently retired
from the service of the public, an OPEN
suit their tastes. There are thousands
of loyal Americans who could pass an
examination and show their perfect
qualification for a position of this kind,
and who would not particularly mind
about the salary; the perquisites would
be enough TO satisfy any reasonable
person. Having some suspicion OF the
character of the fancy drinks made at
the Milwaukee bars, the Board OF Health
very considerably concluded to sacrifice
but one human being to the cause OF
science. II he can sample the mixed
drinks Of the chief city of Wisconsin as
Is made Of and what 1t Is made for, and
what becomes of all that are made, and
give the people some much-needed in
formation about a straight-sour or an
eve-opener, and tell an anxious public
how a Tom and Jerry feels on July
day, or a claret punch In January-if we
can have such information as this, for
want OF which the worlds progress has
been very seriously retarded, and the
Board Of Health's spirit-test me-
dunn does not get the jim-jams
and have to be withdrawn from
service, we suppose it may
be considered that science has achieved
a wonderful victory over the awful mys'
terry of the latter-day spirits. Science
must certainly be the cause to be SUBJ
served by this important movement,
unless 1t is to be understood that fancy
drinks form the chief article of diet OF
the citizens of Milwaukee. In that event
alone could this movement be consid
cred as in behalf Of the public health
Ordinarily q Board OF Health with the
purpose Of guarding the community
health, would test the various kinds OF
sugar. tea. flour, candy and such ar.
ticles, many of which are quite as dan
gerously mixed with foreign substances
as fancy drinks, and in most localities
are much more generally articles OF
family use. But the Milwaukee Board
OF Health evidently understands the
people Of that city we'll enough to know
better than to waste its time In TESTING
anything but fancy drinks.
