NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING JANUARY Il 1877.

Nichols appointed Gen. F. N. Ognen to the
command of the State militia aud commi ssi o n ed
| Police Board, which at once met and ap.
| pointed Mr.. Thos. Boylsn Superintendent OF
Police. During the evening Gen. Ogden and
Supt. Boylan organized their forces, and Tues
day morning, oh iust the Srate militia, con.
sistipg of about 600 men, and the new police
force, numbering 400, took possession of all
public buildings, including the arsenal with
six cannon and o number of rifles. Not shot
was fired throughout the day, the Radicals
having concentrated their forces in the State
House, where they were allowed to remain in
peace. Tho militia were under arms from nine
in the morning till five in the evening, and
we're concentrated in the neighborhood of
Jackson Square. At 8 O'Clock they were
marched ont st. Ann to Rampant, up Rampant
to Canal, down Canal to Camp, and up Camp
street, passing the City Hotel, from the balcony
of which they were reviewed by the Governor.
The crowdc which lined the sidewalks and bal
comics on the way manifested the greatest en-
thusiasm, for the character of the men in the
ranks-mercha ants, mechanics, lawyers, doctors,
laborers, the youth of eighteen Summers and
the grey-headed octogenarian, veterans of the
glorious armies of Lee, Stonewall, Johnston,

of their brothers of 1s61-and the import
ance of the cause in which this unique little
army has=tripm pied the deIiverance of a
whole people from the oppressive and tyran-
nous &ule of ignorance and villainy-afforded
such SR occasion for general rejoicing as is
rarely witnessed in the history of any country.
Since Tuesday the city has been remarkably
quiet, Supt. Boy Ian having sufficient police
at his command to preserve the peace and pro-
tect government property without the assist
ance of the militia.
The Radicals at the State House are being
gradually weakened by assertions both from
their police and militia force and from their
Legislature. On Thursday two Legislators,
Mr.. Barrett, and P. j. Kennedy, the levee
contractor, left them and were sworn in as
members of the Legislature at Odd Fellovs'
He'll.
On Friday Mr.. Estopinal, of St. Bernard,
followed the example of Messrs. Kennedy and
Barrett, and it is confidently expected that
within the next week a large proportion of the
more respectable Republicans will leave the
Rump House.
Up to this time, Saturday morning, the
President firmly maintains his 6rst determine
ton not to interfere in favor of either Govern
ment.

What Southern Messenger to Mr.. Hayes Reports.
INashville American l


Judge Mackey, of South Carolina, on his way
home, stopped at the Maxwell house last even
ing. In an interview with him relative to his
visit to Gov. Hayes, Judge Maokey said:
"of my own motion, proceeded to Columbus,
Ohio, leaving Columbia on the oath of last
month for that place, and arriving there on the
Wednesday following. Gov. Hampton availed
himself of the opportunity of my intended visit
to transmit to Gov. Hayes copy of his in
angural address, delivered on the 18th of De.
to Gev. Hampton the constitutional oath of
Office as the duly elected Governor.
When presented the letter to Gov. Hayes
he expressed his high qualification at the re.
the part of Gov. Hampton (the letter con tanned
the inaugural address), aud especially COM
meuded the tone of the letter as timely, in
view of the belligerent uttersnces of come
democratic LEADERS, of the North. Gov. Hayes
stated that he recognized in Gov. Ham ptou a
most potent leader in the Southern belt of
States, in his relation to that element of the
population recently arrayed in arms against
the Government, and said his in duence in favor
of peace would have weight in both sections.
:" Gov. Hayes thought that lamentsb!e state
of affairs had existed in South Caroliue, but
was satisfied that Gov. Hempton's past cOnrse
would insure peaceful solution of the difficult
ties.
1.-THE Governor said that he had been sub
jected to gross nisrepresent ation recently, by
the partiZan press, and during the canvass in
relation to his views with reRard to the States
of the South that he was represented as mani.
testing extreme political maliGnity, and that
there wee nothing in his re cord to warrant
such harsh Judgment. He said that if. in the
order of events, he should be called upon to act
upon these questions, the best efforts OF his
head and heart would be directed to their Just
solution"
In connection with this interview it should
be borne in mind that Judge Mackey is an ar
dent Republican and strong Hayes man.

To the Edit or of the Picayune,
Many people in Louisiana think the North
ern people will not listen 10 truths ia relation
| to the Inducements which that State holds ont
to immigrants. We believe this a great mis-
take. and one which may do much harm.
Since orr health has improved we have been
addressing meetings made up of men of all
political Furthermore Repu bicans than Dem
ocrats-on the resources of Louisiana and we
have had rs attentive listeners as we ever had
on any occasion in any portion of the South.
More respectful or attentive listeners we could
not desire. On the Goth inst, at 7 p. NJ, we
addressed meeting of ladies and gentlemen
in this place, the thermometer 10 degrees below
Zero There were twice as many In attendance
az we could expect under the circumstances
The church in which we delivered the lecture
was rather cold, as they had but one stove to
heat it but they all sat patiently for an
honr and half to listen to iacts on Louisiana
We have an invitation from nine citizeus of
Dover and Foxcroft, six of them Republicans,
to address the citizens of these towns. which
are so close together as to BIO the same as one
town, on the 22d of December. The call and
reply are published in the Republican ews
paper of Dover. The subject 10 entirely new
to nearly all these people, and the interest
they show in our lectures is to us exceedingly
gratifying.
We learn that there are many soldiers in the
North who we're in the South in the late war
who want to return and settle in one Of the
Southern StSfes. They know the Southern
people and the country much better than
those who have never been ont of their native
Stare, and who get their information about
the South and the Southern people only through
political newspapers.
Let the agents of tho South come North with
the olive branch in their hands, drop politics
act as peace-makers between the two sectionS,
give the people here the sunny side of the
Southern States and Southern character, and
the fruits OF their labors will he glorious to
both sections They will be like those who
preach the gospel of peace, aud bring glad
tidpgs Of good things. The dark side of the
South has been abundantly advertised in the
North, and there is DO need of Attempting to
enlighteu the Northern people on that subject |

How STEPHEN GIRARD BRoUGHT BANK TO

clergyman, in recent lecture to apprentice ;
and boys in stores, gave some interesting re-
miniscences of Stephen Girard, "whom," said
he, II knew when q boy. He usually walked
stoop-shouldered, with his hands crossed in

will see very good Likeness of him ct Wapa-

has got the expression exactly. There is only
one thing would criticise about the painting

p'cture represents. He always discounted
small notes helped men who were in business
in small way. He was always ready to help
mechanic or honest man, though per haps
with an eye TO business and in a safe way. The
Bank of North America and others were
Jealous of him; 30 they said We will not
discount his notes. Girstd wasI informed of
it, and, of course, was angry SO he told his
cashier whenever he got note of the Bank of
North America to lay it aside. This was done,
until after q while one day he sent . notary
over with notes of the Bank of North America
TO the amount of S250,000, with q request that
the amount be paid in gold and silver. There
was oonstern alton in the bank, and GiTard was
cent for and reiterated his demand, when the
banks were glad to compromise, and after that
were ready to take his notes"
