terminates to-day, and at IL
o'clock M. Mr.. Hayes will be
sworn in as Chief Executive OF the
Republic, or whatever else It may
be called, for the next four years.
The two administrations of the
going President have brought
neither peace, content nor pros
perity to the South. Those South
ern States which have emanci-
pated themselves from the RUE OF
carpet-baggess owe nothing TO
him the policy of his administra~
ton was designed to keep them
under the heels of the thieves, and
they escaped only because the
policy OF wrong and oppression
was not broad and strong enough
to utterly crush out civilization,
and Anglo Saxon vigor and pro-
gressiveness in all those vast and
imperial regions. The full force
and fury of the Presidents policy
| has fallen upon Louisiana and
South Carolina, and in these two
States carpet-baggery now has its
last Judgements.
1t is true that President Grant.
in the last days of his Administra-
ton, has withdrawn all active sup
port from the present chief of
Louisiana radicalism, and that if
he has issued his orders in good
faith, we may now make good our
oft-repeated statement that, ii
Federal protection were Withdrawn
from the Packard fraud, we could
disnerse it in few hours. But,
the question which is now in the
heart OF every citizen of Louisiana
is: Will Mr.. Hayes carry out the
new policy adopted SO lately by
President Grant ?
For many days the air has been
full of happy but indefinite prom
ises on this point. We have heard
| the liberal and conciliatory views
of Stanley Mathews and Mr.. Chas
Foster we have heard, at second
hand as il were, of brave things
that are to be done for the South,
and especially for Louisiana and
South Carolina, by the new Presi-
dent. Presses which for years
have lived and fourished on abuse
of the South, and cheered on the
blood bounds which have followed
our footsteps, as Justify as even
the most brutal negro driver did
his dogs, are now clamorning for
new Southern policy and find no
words too soft and honied in which
to describe the wrongs OF our peo-
pie, their patience and forth
tude.
These are certainly encouraging
signs, and we are much disposed
to trust in them yet We should
not be too sanguiDe for not a
single definite utterance have we
had from Mr.. Hayes own lips, or
from his own pen. And indeed
we believe now, as we have be-
lieyed all along, that our strongest
reliance is now in the good inten-
tions of the leaders of the repub-
lican party, but in the frmness Of
our attitude. We think there is
much reason to believe that, if Mr..
Hayes and his advisers were fully
convinced that on the recognition
of Packard, the legitimate gov
ernment OF Louisiana wonld break
up and that the people would
qaietly submit to four years more
of spoliation and misgovernment,
Packard would be recognized by
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1877-03-15

impossible even to contemplate
without horror. The means by
which Mr.. Hayes obtained the
presidency has infamed the popu-
lar heart Of the West, and even to
degree of the East, and tbs
brand of civil war once lit in Louis.
lana would, in all human proha-
bility, spread to every portion OF
the country. Communism stalks
in every Northern oisy; there is an
angry spirit, restless, growing. in
the under currents OF society there
which needs but the taste OF blood
or the sight of burning brand to
plunge into the widest and most
terrible excessea. The country
rests upon & volcano, and the par
ty or the administration which
shall, in the furtherance OF parti-
san ends provoke an issue which
cause the smothered fires to break
will be involved in swift and inev-
liable ruin. The bad blood aroused
by the scandalous action OF the
Electoral Com mission brought us,
in the tnmultuous proceedings OF
the Hou in the closing hours OF
the count, to the very verge OF the
fatal collision. The forhearnnce
nf t'le Southern democratic mem-
bers checked proceedings which
threa tened to precipltate anarchy
and civil strife. The Southern
democracy" SAYS the New YORK
Tribune, will paase accept the
thanks OF united people. The
men who made war upon tho
Union in 81 have preserved its
peace in r." Have the Southern
democrats preserved the peace OF
the country only that man might
be made President by fraad, and
tla. two ,uf their own States
Louisiana and South Carolina---
mny be relegated to the rule OF
thieves and utterly crushed and
ruined :?
This is a question which must
be determined in a few days. But,
until those days are past. it be-
bocves the people Of Louisiana to
stand prepared to defend their
government aud their rights to
any and every extremity. Peace
may be sweet to the boudholders
of the East, who sold out the
country for it, but it is utterly
won thIess to us, If it is to exist
among us only as deadly pestl-
leuce, under which our liberties,
our wealth and our social institu-
tions must perish, while fattening
on its poisonous vapors, carpet
baggery, thievery and extortion
live and flourish.
Uuder true and generous pol
icy of peace Mr., Hayes can con-
ciliate Louisiana and South Caro-
linn. Neither his nor any other
administration can maintain order
ia either State or hold their peo-
pie in quiet sabjugation by a pol.
icy which involves the infamv Of
sustaining Packard and Chamber
lain. We trust Mr.. Hayes will be
guided in fixing his Southern pol
icy by moderation and wisdom.
He can not pacify these States by
an arbitrary policy and he can
not afford to aroase their desper-
ate people to resistance. We h0pS
he realizes how fully it has been
demonstrated that it is impossible
to beggar this community into
submission we trnst he has seen
that discomfort vii! increase with
misery, and understands that
there are critical maments in the
