The President has accepted an invitation to

ia ~ dumb as 40 oyster on the Southern policy,
we are inclined to Thick that MIR. Hayes is right
in postponiug his trip to the South, and would

BURNING OF Y0UNG's Mill The Wash
ioeton Star says
Tie alarm early yesterday morning was for
the discovery Of fire 10 the corn and feed mill
Of Mr.. Mark Young, on the corner Of Water and
Fayette streets, Georgetown. Officer Skldmore
discovered the smoke and flames issuing from
the lower windows and turned on the alarm.
The flames gained Roadway with great rapidty,
AMI soon the upper stories and rOol we're eDVel'
oped by the dcVouring clement, aud intense
heat was generated. SO that Notwithstanding
The great efforts oi the fremen the whole in'
lcrna portions Of the mill, together with 6 900
bushels of corn, were entirely destroyed, invclv-
ing loss fabout $4,000. The insurance 90
the mil and stock is about 5000. The mill
was ruunicg as late as eleven o'clock the night
previous, and the usual precautions were taken
10y the operatives to guard against Ere. 1t is
thought, therefore, to have been the result OF
an lnc"ndiary act. y portion Of the walls gave
way and fell in with crash, So that nearly the
entire structure will have to be rebuilt Welch S
mill was at one time thoug ito be 10 dagger, and
4 steady stream Of water was thrown upon it,.
The heat was SO great that all the fruit trees 10
the vicinity a1d across the canal were scorched.
The safe IN tho mill. which contained many
valuahles, was opened this morniog, the con-
tents being entirely uninjured.
GA the night OF the fire Mr.. Young was at
his home, fellow Alexandria, aud the next

a VILE CoMPACT.
lNFAMY AND ENAvERy IN Alliance
Republican States to be Surrendered
to Buy Peace Of the BulldOzers.

Briefly stated this is the Democratic
claim. On the evening of February %
1877, at the residence of Gen eral Randall
Gibson, on X street, Washington were as
sembled, by appointment, Stanley Mat.
thews and Representative Foster, of Ohio,
Messrs. E. John Ellis, w. NJ. Levy and R.
L. Gibson, of Louisiana, and John Young
Brown, Of Kentucky.
Messrs. Matthews and Foster cl Aimed TO
represent Mr.. Hayes, but the Democratic
representatives refused to negotiate until
they had authentic information on this
poiHA This was produced 10 the shape Of
letter indorsipg Messrs. Matthews and
Foster as his (Hsyesl trusted friends.
This proving satisfactory, these Demo-
Gratis deliberately proceeded to sell out their
party and political fealty to their presi-
dental candidate. They signed pledge
guaranteeing to stop fibustering in the
House, and thereby permit the presidential
vote to be completed, aud in exchange de.
manded as a price for their desertion OF
Mr.. Tilden that they should be left in IN
disturbed possession of the governments
they fattered themselves they had stolen
in Louisiana and South Carolina.
The contracting parties-the Office hold
ers above named--drew up an agreement
embodying this foul bargain, and it was
placed in the hands of John Young Brown
as umpire.
1t is only quite recently that President
Hayes has been informed of the existence
or alleged existence-of this black compact
His indignation thsreat was what might
have been expected from true Republican
and honorable gentleman. He denied in
the strongest terms that he had ever au
thorized, in writing or otherwise, any one
to pledge him or represent him politically
and that no such base bargain could evel
receive from him countenance or a moments
consideration, other than of Ioathing and
disgust.
Let the blatant Democracy who talk as i
they carry the great seal of the nation il
their breecbes' pocket, admit themselves t.
be shallow pated political tricksters, or pu
the denial-the repeated denial--of The
President that he had bartered for hi
ofice-through authorized friends-to tho
test Of proofs.

Communicated
status Quo.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The retrospect afforded by the observ-
ance of the Stdtus gao upon the part of the
Nichols party compels the observer to
smile in view Of the effects continuance
of the same ia bound TO have upon the
legal government of the State of Louisiana.
To contemplate that the State arsenals,
the police stations and later the offices of har.
Dor masters and hay inspectors have been
seized in violation Of the said status quo,
and no remonstrapes on the part of the
President of the United States against this
violation, places this correspondent in a
dilemma in relation to the modern defnition
Of the term.
We all see ths manner in which the legal
government is affected by it's provisions as
carried out, but we think 1t strange that
the Preside mt of the United States does not
use the power of his offcs in compelling an
equal obedience from both sides.
However, as this is not the case, what is
the duty of Governor S. B. Packard in the
premisesl His duty is to utilize all the
means in his power to counterfeit the pro.
ceedings of the Nichols party.
1t is said that if the general government
leaves the Republican party in Louisiana
alone, it will die of it's own weakness. We
say, let the Republicans of louisiana leave
the Democrats alone, and they will not be
able to maintain themselves. The Repub-
leans of the State believe in Governor
Packard; they believe in his patriotism and
sll the qualities that make q real man.
Let him give us our own way in this matter.
Let us organize in'every parish in the State.
Let us desert the plantations of the indie
pendent and selEsustalniDg Democracy, and
organize into battaliOns in defense of OR
liberties and our government, and the Mich
oils party will he tanned down without fight
ing a stroke. But, supposing it comes to q
party conflict On the color line, we out
number them II 600, and we have got 10, 900
white Republicans in the State, as brave
and tried men as there are. In this conflict
it will not be the negro cultivating the
plantation and raising the corn and cotton
and sugar while they do the fighting. Let
their plantations grow up in weeds; let
them starve as they can not labor, and let
us defend the rights of our pOsterity.

A Washington special TO the New York
Tines, March 81, says;
General Thomas W. Conway. late State
Superintendent of Public Education in
Louisiana, and Pierrepont Wilson, of New
Jerseys had long interview With the
President this afternoon, after the Cabinet
meeting, regarding the Southern question.
The President was frank, and gave his
views without reserve, the more 60 as he
knew General Conway had long and hon
orable relationship with the South since the
war, and was not now personally or Of
deially interested in the struggle Of parties
in that section.
General Conway eaid that the Democrats
Of Louisiana were retrOgFessive and reac-
tionaEy, aud could not be trusted with e
defense Of the principles resulting from and
settled by the war; that they had opposed
free schools, and would destroy the public
school system; thar they were apt to resort
more TO violence than peaceful, laval
means Of establishing government; that IL
would be disastrous to peace ard prosperity
TO recognize the Nichols government, and
that more coed to public education, perma-
nent peace and prosperity would come from
the eucceea of Packard, whon he repre-
scented a. brave, upright man, and fai h
fnl public officer, though he had seldom, If
ever, agreed with him Sc TO methods o
pablo policy.
The President, IN reply, said that there
was no doubt that for the pact eight years
there bad been a great degree OF reaction,
retrogresaion, laWlest negs violence and
murder ID the South, and especially ia
Louisiana, where there we're 80 many mixed
races that Violenpe resulted 8lmnst apon-

WASHINGTON, March q, 1877.
All statements put forth by Nicholas
partisans of any bargain, trade or even I'M
aazatanding entered into by President
Hayes, or friends in his behalf, by which
the Eieholle usurpation should be recog
afzed as the government of Louisiana, on
nonditiOn that the Democracy should stop
administering against the electoral law, are
false in aggregate and detail.
President Hayes entered the White House
On the fifth of March without making any
6zrEains and without giving any pledges,
directly or indirectly, except those EN-
hraeed in his letter of acceptance and in
augural address.
All statements to the contrary are abfo
lately false, and are known to be such by
The Democrats who circulate them.
Neither have any of Mr.. Hayes friends,
with or without his knowledge, entered into
aay agreement for the withdrawal of the
scoops. On the contrary, stringent orders
have Just been issued to General Augur to
peremptOrily stop Nichols repeated viola
tons Of law and the Status quo orders.
Nr, Foster, in his speech in the House
February 90, said if Mr.. Hayes was made
President he would favor local self-govern-
Hienti in the South precisely the same as ia
tAa North. All Of MIR. Hayes friends said
ehs same thing, in private conversation, in
speeches and correspondence. They say
tile same now. There was not any secrecy
aboat such declarations then. There is
mono now. President Hayes and his friends
stand by them.
Ali the trouble is with Nichols partiaans,
accustomed IN all political controversies to
resort to forgery, perjury, assassination,
terrorism, falsehood and ambiguity.
They can not understand President
Hayes honest, straightforward and I'M
e4uivOcal words, and at once jump to the
oonelusiOn that 'iocal self government
nleaus White League rule, when, In fact, it
means altogether something else.
-'Loeal self government North means
the rule of officials chosen by majority Of
the legal voters in the State. Applied in
Lauisiana, it must result IN the recognition
Of Governor Packard.
Mr.. NicholIs' idea Of ''local selfgOvern.
lnens' was tried by his political friends in
New York city in 1868. They burned .
gal0red orphan asylum, murdered some Of
tho orphan children sheltered therein, and
assassinated as many white and eoloEed
Hapubliean voters as they could, but the
plan was not popular. President Lincoln
asnt General B. F. Batter with force Of
Uaited States troops to New York and had
10 sammarilg suppressed.
mention this historical fact for the bene-
ct o. Nichols Insurgents in New Orleans.
sg mnst understand that their idea Of
LEGAL selfgovernnente is not accepted in
Npubllonn orioles here, and the sooner
deslde to accept the Northern plan in
thaf the term implies, the better for ell
