A CORRECT VIEw.-That able re-
publican journal, the New York Ma
ton, says: "When people ask him (Mr.
not to be SO base as to abandon the
Southern republicans let him inquire
in sober, American way what that
means. He is not Gear or Kaiser.
He cannot sends troops hither and
thither TO 'succors truggling national
tiles or set downtrodden parties on
their legs. He can succor nobody en-
cept Mroughila,o, He is not special
Providence; he is the President of the
United States, or in other words the
creature of law. What, therefore, can
he do ror Southern republican under
the United States statutes as interpre-
ted by the courts? This is the ques-
ten which should be put to all South
ern delegations and all Northern ora
tors who maintain that the United
States government owes some unde =
fined protection to one of the two poli-
tical parties at the South, and possesses
some vague right of prescribing the
exact amount and kind of power
which Southern Governor shall use
in overcoming resistance to his au-
thority." The nation adds that in
dealing with this problem and all 9th
ers Mr.. Hayes starts with the inestl-
mable advantage of public confidence.
He has won his first victory over the
enemies of good government, and may
win as many more as he deems neces-
sary if he bears in mind that the in :
terest in political chicane is confined
to not over half a million of over forty
millions, and let his enemies 'see
fight in bis eye."

Gov. Hampton in a telegram which

Gov. Hampton is right, and should stand

half doubling whether he was awake,
he picked up the Press and found, in

the half had not been told. "It's Rip

AN UNFORTUNATE Loss.-On the day
that the fire occurred in which the house
on the farm of the late Edward Downey,
and occupied by George Rust, was des-
troyed, Mr.. Rust was so unfortunate as
to loose two hundred dollars in money.
During the day he had been to New Cas-
tie and drew the above amount from the
bank, and upon arriving at home he de-
posted it in bureau drawer for safe
keeping. When the house was discover =
ed to be on fire some of the members OF
the family rushed for the bureau and sue
ceeded in saving all the drawers with the
exception of the one that contained the
money. They were under the impression
that they had saved the one in which the
money was deposited, but after the & ex-
citement had subsidized, and when 1t was
too late the discovery was made that the
money had been destroyed by the flames.

| biOAN5 READY TO SUBMlT-PACK
ARDS GRACEFUL RETIREMENT AN
| TICIPATED.
New ORLEANS, April Is, 1877.
The commission has not transacted
any business to-day. The opposition
to the proposed adjustment developed
last night In the Nichols Legislature
| caucus has been all smoothed away,
and it is expected that all necessary
assurances will be given the commits
sion by noon tomorrow. Immediate
ly thereafter it will be officially re-
commended to both parties as the
basis adjustment recommended by Mr..
Hayes.
FEELING OF THE REPUBLICANS.
In an interview with Governor War
moth tonight he assured me that he was
only waiting for this action before going
to the Nichols Legislature with his
friends, whether Packard accepted the
plan of settlement or not. They were
ready to conform to the wishes of the
President whenever and however official
ly expressed, but would not allow them
selves TO be used as means of DESTROY
ing Mr.. Packard as long as the present
status existed.
PACKARD WILL RETIRE.
From conversation held with General
Mcmillan and other leaders, infer that
this feeling is very general with the men,
bers of the Packard Legislature, and, as
he must be aware of it, the prospects are
that he will retire from the field graceful
ly despite his many and violent assertions
to the contrary.
AS the Commissioners have made pre-
parations to leave in few days, and as
they now appear to be relieved of all
anxiety, no serious difficulty can be an
ticipated in carrying out the programme.
PROTECTION TO ALL CLAssRs.
In connection with the adjustment pro-
position the Nichols Legislature will to-
morrow pass joint resolutions guarantee
ing the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, general equal protection for
all classes and races with equality in the
public schools, &c. These resolutions
together with the adjustment propositions
will be subsequently indorsed by the com
mission and by them mrecommended to the
Packard Legislature, instead of the Gov
ernor, for action, which is already consid-
cred to be assured.
PEREMPToRY DEMAND FROM PACKARD.
Packard is preprring letter to night to
the commission demanding that they re-
quest the President to either recognize
himself or Nichols at once, and intimat-
ing that that will place the President and
the commission upon record before the
people.
A committee of the Legislature has
been in session all the evening at the st.
Charles Hotel, preparing the resolutions
to be offered tomorrow.
