NEW ORLEANS, March 10Th, 1877.
There is no news; every day brings
changes rs to the object of the Com.
mission which is not yet formed, and
IIayes' delay in carrying out his pol
lev is attributed to- bad faith, ~weak'
ness and dclibe,ation.
Yesterday Gov. Nichols issued a
proclamation in which he calls npon
the people to promptly pay taxes T."
>upport the government now com
n]cte in all its branches, and says,
"the people of Louisiana mag rest
confidently assured that the g""ern-

willing to 60 give HAYES personal as

but not to argue his case before Hayes

has no right even to drfray the eS

We cannot see the fore OF any
reasoning in favor Of further procras-
tination as to the election of Senator.
The vacancy exists and has existed
for months; the Legislature is III

an election at once.
In the meantime, the reptcscAta,

claim, and there isa possibility that

account of this inacton:
1t is perfectly true that our Sena:
j tors and Representatives. have beer
ar.,atcd by the best motives in post

,callv difficult to understand nov:
what possible benefit can be gained

than any election could be. 1t is OF
little use to argue that a Senator
elected now might not be admitted.
Certainly, if we refuse even to elect
some one to claim the vacancy we
cannot expect Republican Senate
influenced by such utterly reckless
parti>ans as Morton and Hoar, t"
| thrust upon MS u right to which We
J. hesitate to assert our claims.
We cannot expect, either, to mol
Iify Blaine and his clique by any
}. sort OF coucl'atiny policy except
unconditional surrender. The Leg

that it is its duty to FIJI the existing
