LOUISIANA.

The lsbers of the Louisiana Commis-
sion are ended. HAYES has ordered the
withdrawal of the troops from New Or
leans, and PACKARD, like CHAMBEa-
LAIN, may fold his tent like the Arab
and silently steal away. Accompanying
the news cfthis action OF the President
is the information that the authorities q.
Washington are delighted over the salts
factory result OF the CommissIon's
labors; yet the public well
know thst the administration >
attempt to effect bargain aud sale" b,
tween the opposing factions in LDuisians
has proved n miserable failure. NICa
OILS, like HAMPTON, WAS not tn, man to
agree to any compromise OF PLAIN queS-
ton of right with palpso!e fraud; he
spurned the Offer, aud the only course left
the Commissi IN was to throw PACKARD
overheard. This has been done, and the
act,-slthough a proper one, and merit
orious der other circumstances, -
should cover the President with man
tie of shame, tor he has deliberately
given the cold shoulder to man who
WAS oae of the leaders in the conspiracy
to steal the Presidency, and VINO, it has
been truly said by prominent Repubii'
cans, had title - the Governorshlp OF
Louisiana equally rs valid As that by
whicn HAYES holds the Presidency.
Apart from tho above considerations,
however, the pubic will rejoice that the
question is settled and that L1uisisns
will soon be free from the clutches OF the
carpet bsggers who have well-nigh ruin
ed the stnte.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

From Q full report Of the proceedings
Of the conference Of the clergy and rep.
resentative lsity, which was held in Par
kersburg on Wednesday, to consider the
question of asking for the creation Of q
diocese for this Stste, we learn that the
feeling OF these present was unanimous
in favor of the project. We print else
where q comprehensive report of the
proceedings OF the conference, and here
with add the remarks upon the subject
furnished by another correspondent who
kindly favored US with a report. He
says:
There was manifested considerable In
terest IN the formation OF the new dio-
cese and it is hoped that the L.ity will
awaken to a greater Interest and deter
mine TO carry on the work in earnest.
1t is time that the Episcopa lians OF
West Virginia should depend upon their
own exerlions and msbage and control
the church within he, own dominion, in
stead OF depending upon the manage
ment OF the people OF Virginia, who ieel
little or no interest in this part Of the
dlocee and who really desire tnat we
should cut loose from them saying moth
ing OF the TACT that tue interest of the
church demands division. > The posi-
tion We sustain to the people OF Virginia
demands that we should now and forever
go upon our own resources, aud stand or
