Hampton against any compromise with
the Packard fraud neither he, nor the
Legislature. nor the people OF this State
will consent to any bargain or compro-
mise In tho settlement OF the Louisiana
case. The Commission, IL a bargain or
q compromise be it's object. IL reor-
ganization of the Legislature, or the
purchase of two. or even one, Senator
be its mission, will visit us In vain. Gov
Nichols has spoken very emphatically
on these points, our Legislature has
denounced any such ubiquitous adjust
ments, and the people in their mass
meetings and through their presses in
nearly every parish In the State, have
put the seal of their condemnation upon
any settlement which sulrenders the
most insigniticanto of their constitutional
and legal rights.
The same sympathy and support
which the American people gave
Hampton and South Carolina, they are
extending to Nichols and louisiana
and SO long as we hold up the standard
OF the Constitution SO long as we stand
unoolnpromisingly on the Constitution
and the laws, refusing any recognition
OF the bummers and thieves who fol-
low Packard and Kellogg, the Admins
tration cannot repudiate the solemn
and unequivocal pledge OF the President
to re. establish local selfgovernment in
this State; nor will his Commission
venture to approach our leaders and
representatives with directions to reor-
ganize our Leg islature, or with PROPOSE
tions to compromise with us for q Re-
publican Senator.
The country is weary OF the strife
which carpet bag misrule has kept
alive In the South for SO many years; 1t
is sick OF fraud and legalized robbery .
1t is disguised with military usurpations,
with the Paokards, the Chamberlains
and the Kelloggs; it will not tolerate q
continuance, or rather reinauguration,
of the policy which for ten years has
blighted the prosperity and withered
the industry Of the So h. It stands
ready, therefore, to sustain the people
OF Louisiana in the maintenance Of
their government to force the Presi-
dent to carry out his pledges to estab-
lish local self-government In their
State and to sustain him in doing so.
The visit Of Hampton and Chamber
lain to Washington on the invitation Of
the President resulted in the certainty Of
the almost immediate withdrawal Of
the troops from the State House and
the emancipation OF South Carolina !;
and the visit Of the Presidents Commits
sion to New Orleans will result In the
speedy withdrawal of the troops from
the protection Of Packard and the
emancipation OF Louisiana.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-04-01

ment. They yielded obedience to those
who actually welded the executive
power; they paid their taxes to those
who had all the outward appearance OF
being clothed with the authority to col
lect them, and such payment was oil
course regarded as full acquittance OF
their debt to the nation. The same
may be said of the relations which ex-
listed between the subjects OF the royal
house of Stuart and Cromwell during
the Protectorate Of that ambitious and
successful soldier. The masses Of the
people recognized him as the ruler OF
England, for the simple reason
that he was in fact the ruler.
and obligations on their part,
pecunIary or other, toward the
government, which they discharged
while he and his subordinates were In
control Of that government, were held,
after the Restoration, TO have been fully
and legally discharged.
But still stronger evidence OF the
soundness of our proposition may be
found in much more recent Instances
Of the validity imputed to the acts Of do
facto governments by international law
and the practice of civilized nations.
We will select the most striking Instance
which suggests itself to our mind, as an
illustration Of our argument.
The conquests OF the French under
Napoleon effected In many countries
change Of rulers, and after Napoleon's
downfall the former and rightful SOW
ereigns were generally reinstated. The
new governments established in these
countries were de fdcto governments,
" hich have been defined by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States to be
governments which have expelled the
regular authorities from their custom
airy seats and functions, and established
themselves il their place. To such gov
ernments, according to the we'll
established doctrine OF interna-
tional law, allegiance is due
uhtie they last, and contracts made
with them are entirely lawful. In the
countries referred to numerous sales OF
public property were made by the au-
thorities holding their power from the
French conqueror. On the return OF
the legitimate sovereigns the question
arose whether these sales could be
treated as utilities, and the property be
taken back. In every instance 1t was
ultimately decided that the purchasers
of such property must be maintained in
their purchases, and such was the deci-
sion even in the cases OF the restored
sovereigns who had always refused to
acknowledge the authorities by whom
they had been temporarily displaced,
and con sistently denounced them as
usurpers.
Is not the analogy perfect between
these purchases of public property from
de fdcto governments and the payment
OF taxes to the only government which
has any semblance Of authority in Loui-
siana. We think 1t is, and therefore
urge all property holders. particularly
those who habitually take counsel of
their fears and cannot read the hand
writing on the wall, to promptly pay
their taxes and Danish from their minds
all apprehension that any contingency
can arise In which they could be CON-
PEELED to pay second time the amounts
assessed against their property.

In brief interview yesterday with q
member Of the Senate, who is making
up full and clear statement with all
the details, we learned that the re-
auctions effected by the Legislature
in the system of assessment and
collection of taxes, and in judi
cial, legislative and parochial ex-
penses of the State, amount to nine
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
From another and entirely reliable
source we learn that arrangements are
being perfected for the payment of the
July interest upon the State debt. We
also learn that the collections OF taxes
in the First District Of this city to date
amounts to one hundred and fifteen
thousand dollars.

SOUTH CAROLINA AND LOUISIANA.

South Carolina has been at length
emancipated from Federal and military
thraldom. The determined stand Gov.
Hampton and his followers took against
any bargain or compromise with Cham
berlain left the Administration the
choice of withdrawing the troops from
the capital Of the State, leaving the
legitimate government untrammeled In
the full and free exercise Of Its functions,
or of Immediately reinaugurating the
Grant policy and attempting to uphold
an infamous usurpation by Federal bay
onets. Mr.. Hayes chose the wisest and,
indeed, the emily safe course, and or
dered the withdrawal OF the troops from
the State House. The popular demon
strations with which the illustrious
South Carolinian was recently received
at every point ON his route from Colum-
bia to Washington, and the enthusiasm
his high and noble stand has enkindled,
even in Philadelphia, Boston and New
York, show very plainly that the DEMO-
GRAFT spoke with clear comprehension
of the situation last week, when 1t
said that Mr.. Hayes dare not attempt to
set up Chamberlain in South Carolina
and Packard in Louisiana, because such
an attempt would provoke civil war in
the two States, and with thousands Of
men In every State in the Union ready
to resist Mr.. Hayes title to the Presf-
dency even by arms, a great national
CONFUSION and the destruction OF the
Administration would be the result.
Gov. Hampton's prompt and positive
refusal to recognize to any extent the
fraudulent pretensions Of Chamberlain !;
his resolute stand taken upon the consti-
tuition and the laws, and the true theory
OF our republican government, and his
refusal to relinquish an inch Of that
ground, awakened the admiration and
aroused the enthusiasm OF a people
who had just seen themselves juggled
out Of their choice for the Presidency
by band OF audacious and unscrupu-
lous conspirators on the one hand, and
the disgraceful cowardice of their lead
ers on the other, and when he went to
Washington, at the invitation of Gen.
Hayes, the popular demonstrations
along his route and the popular utter
ances all over the Union, fortified and
rendered his position invincible, and
the President found it necessary, not
withstanding Jim Blaine and his crea-
lures, to promptly carry out his South
ern policy in South Carolina.
The reasons which impelled the
President to release the grasp Of the
Federal Government upon the throat Of
South Carolina, will force him to re-
lease louisiana. Gov. Nichols has
pronounced a. unequiyocally - GOV,
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-04-01

The sentiment OF the people Of Louis
lana toward the Presidents commission
Is that OF simple tolerance. They do
not intend to be governed by its deeis-
sions or to aequiesce in them, except in
50 far as they recognize and advise the
recognition of the Nichols government
just as it stands, from Governor down
to constables. II that commission shall
advise the recognition Of Packard, or
shall suggest any adjustment or COM
promise, Mr.. Hayes will find him
self in o very awkward position. The
people OF this State will acquiesee
in neither, and IL In such an event
Mr.. Hayes attempts to sustain his
commission he will find civil
war on his hands and necessity for
backing up the usurpation, or his pro-
posed adjustment, with the army. Ii
such should be the issue, Congress,
when 1t meets in extra session, will re-
fuse any appropriation for his army,
and how will he then carry out any con
tract to subject this State to four years
more OF misrule and spoliation?
