rus QUESTION SETTLED.

Thescheme for anew election has beeh
abandoned. 1t has been decided to WIN
draw the troops from Louisiana ana
South Carolina early this week, and TINS
together with the adjournment OF the
Senate, practically settles the question
both Nv regards II new election ana
which of the two governments in either
State is to DO countensnced by the
federal authority. Here is a practical
lesson of great worth to those astute
gentlemen in theultra wing OF tho ke-
publican party who have for long dreAry
years Of military ascendNncy commended
that the government 10y its soldiery
only insured to tho people OF the
troubled States OF the South, the local
administrations OF their choice Neither
Packard or Chamberlain can collect
money enough in their balliwicks TO
pay the tax-gatherer much less to Keep |
the machine Of government oiled TO
that extent that iarrying and friction
inside will not render il worthless for
all tho purposes for which it was instI'
tuted.
Tho white and coloyed citizens both,
OF tho South, now uuitodly ask to be let |
alone, and.as that policy costs nothing
and promises results vastly superior to |
tho old military plan; it ought TO be
promptly adopted or rather lis &dop'
ton ought to bu graudIy ratified by
fair men everywhere, North or South,
Republican or Democrat,
The practical abandonment OF tho
new election scheme is also an abandon

from the face of tho earth, 1t is
all past now, thank God, and it is both
safe and proper for Mr.. Hayes tQ learn
from what depths OF misery his liberal

What fearful reproof this new policy
is to the old administrators Of tho gov.

Mr.. Hayes term expires, there will be
no chance for a Wells or a Bradley to
subvert the plainly expressed will of
the people,
