Organiziu. a HAYES, Par,

organizing a hayes Farty.
NEW ORLEANS, April 5.-The Nichols party
only want the troops withdrawn. There is a
movement among the Republicans opposed to
Packard to organize Hayes party. A private
meeting was held for that purpose at the St.
Charles Hotel last evening Among those
present were two former Republican Congress-
men and the president Of one Of the city
banks: This points to still further disintegra-
ton of Packard's political forces.
An Open Letter from Gov. Packard to she
President.
Gov. Packard has addressed an open letter
to the President, respectfully calling attention
to the fact that the instructions issued to the
commission delegated to visit this state and re
port upon the situation of affairs, either ex.
clude or do not direct inquiry into three essen
tial points:
First-Which is the legal government enti-
tied to recognition.
Second-Which is the legal Judiciary.
Thlrd-Do domestic violence and insurrec-
article 4, of the constitution Of the United
States.
Arguing the necessity for these inquiries
Packard says: confess that having received
several hundred more votes than some of the
Republican Presidential electors, did not an :
ticipate that my title would thus be put in
question. In considering the situation of af-
fairs in this state it is of material importance
to ascertain whether the Supreme Court, ap-
pointed in obedience to the constitution by my
predecessor, Gov. Kellogg. is the legal court.
Ii it be determined SO by the commission, the
ascertainment of that fact will probably prove
of assistance in the solution of the existing
difficulties
If the opposing Nichols court he found as
stated by President Grant to be entitled to no
more recognition than any other equal number
of lawyers convened on the call of any other
citizens in the state, the nation will surely
justify the commission in so declaring. By in
vestigation on these two points, your eXcellen-
cy will be able to ascertain the lawful eXecu-
tive and judicial branches of state government
The legislature branch will adjust itself when
you determine who is the executive of the state.
The fact as to which government was elected
being once established the commission would
probably find little difficulty in coming to a
conclusion on the third point
Matthews and Foster Denounced by Pack
ards Senate.
New ORLEANS, April 5.-Packard's senate
has adopted resolution denouncing the pledg.
es OF Stanley Matthews and Chas. Foster fol-
the withdrawal of troops as corrupt and dis
honorable bargain. They say they are slow to
believe that President Hayes was party to
such bargain, and call on the President to
furnish the assistance necessary to protect the
state against domestic violence and put down
the NICHOLS insurrectiOn; assert that the le-
gallty OF Packard cannot be questioned by any,
one who does not question the title of Presi-
dent Hayes; that both titles are the same; rec
ommend Packard to organize militia in every
parish to meet any emergency which NAV
arise in the future. If the President fails If,

LONDON, April 5.-The following declaration
was made by Lord Derby before signing the

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 5-The Montenegrin
delegates had an interview today with Safvet
Pasha minister of foreign affairs. They main
tanned all their previous demands including the
cession of Nicsics, Kontchi and Kolatchin, and
requested of Safvet Pasha categorical reply
either OF acceptance or refusal. The minister
responded that the Montenegrins ought to yield
these points. He could not give definite re-

Pasha they were instructed to maintain the
demand absolutely and would leave Constanti-
nople during the next week in the event of
definite refusal.

AN ARTFUL ADMONITION.-.Ala late rever-
end gentleman, who was rs well known
for his eccentricities AS his talents. one
day sent his son, a lazy lad about twelve
years of age, to catch his horse. The boy
went saunterng along, half asleep, with
an ear of corn in one hand and the bride
in the other, dragging the reins on the
ground. Thomasn said his father,
calling after him in solemn tone of
voice, Come here, Thomas; want to
say word to you before you 90" The
lad returned and the pHrson proceeded.
" You know, Thomas, have given you Il
great deal of good counsel. You know
I've taught you before closing your eyes
always to say Now lay me down to
sleep etc., besides a good many other
things in the way of exhortation and adj
vice. But this is the last opportunity
shall have of speaking to you, and l
couldn't let it pass without giving you my
parting advice. Be good boy, Thomas,
and always say that prayer when you are
going to sleep. fear | shall never see
you again" As he said this in very
grave and solemn manner the poor boy
began to be frightened, and burst into
tears with this exclamation: You'll
never see me again, pa?' " No for |
shall die before you get back with the
horse" This quickened Ihomas's ideas,
and gathering up the briilo-reins, he ran
and caught the horse quicker than he had
ever done before.

How A WOMAN ORDERS A CHEST
Hohokus writes: During our married life
my wife has insisted that we couldn't keep
house properly without large chest, for
bed clothes and odd traps. Last week 1
took the dimensions from her, questioning
as follows:
" How ong?"
"Well, say ten feet, and she held her
hands about yard apart.
How wide?"
"Well, pretty wide, say six feet, D." meas
uring it on her apron.

"Oh, have it deep; l guess eight feet
will be about right"

to find man that knows how to build a

THE PERILs OF LUCK IN THE BLACK
HILLS.-The most prosperous treasure
hunters, perhaps, in the Black Hills, have
been party known as the Wheeler
Brothers, who last summer took out from
their claim on Deadwood gulch an i'm
mense quantity of gold-dus5, and in the
fall carried it to Philadelphia 10 be coined.
The perils attending their accumulation Of
the metal and its removal are thus graph
ically described by the Greeley Tribune
Every day for many weeks they washed
out large amounts OF gold, which they Sc
creted in various ways, hiding it in the
earth, floor of their cabin, etc; $1,000 WAS
for two months kept in the bottom of Il
sack of -four. which stood open as for use
Many much larger amounts were secreted
in this log-cabin, which the miners and
roughs were allowed 10 enter freely. Dm-
ing the last two menths twoot the compa-
ny were in the cabin all The time, day and
night They left Deadwood for the east
September 10th, taking with them a guard
of fifteen civilians, armed to the teeth. On
the morning of starting Wheeler heard
that dozen armed rutfians had secretly
left the settlement. Two hard-leoking
men made some excuse for accompanying
them. and one was anxious to trade for
Wheeler's fine repeating rifle. He was
told that there was 4 particular use for that
gun The two men soon disappeared over
hill in search of game A little dis
tance out the advance guard reported two
men on prominence taking a general
survey. Some hours later, in place where
the road goes through a depression and is
lined on each side by large trees, the party
found twelve men awaiting them, who,
when they saw how well their intended
prey was armed, made no attack, bat told
Il story about having been attacked by In.
di,ns The party reached Cheyenne in
safely with their gold, having Travelled
nearly three hundred and fifty miles in nine
days. Here they dispensed with their
guard, and putting their treasure in satch-
els, took train for Philadelphia. The
weight Of the gold in u satchel carried by
one of the men caused the handles to snap
off, and the man carried his precious bur-
den on his shoulders across Chicago. lie
declared he would not do it again for it,
Wheeler does not advise persons TO go to
the Hills unless they know what they are
to do or have money 1t is difficult for
inexperienced men to get work in the
mines.

WHAT MARKS Do WE BEAR?-It is said
that there is sort of language of signs
and symbols among the class called
" iramps," who are roaming through our
country-that they have marks or symbols
known among them which they place up
on the gates or gate posts, one denoting
kindness, the other coldness. Whether it
be true or not, | do not know, but the fact
that they finally avoid homes from which
they are repulsed, or ouly return with an
noyanccs and frequent those which open
to them seems to substantiate the report
There is, undoubtedly, in these times,
many an honest, willingly laborer who
cannot find the wherewith to supply lis
own wants, and he may have helpless ones
dependant upon him. Rugged and able
he comes TO our doors. Others there are
who take advantage of these circumstan-
ces and enter our homes as spies to pre-
pare for burglaries or dishonesty. We
cannot always detect the difference be-
tween these two classes. The other day

crowds in with the thought, does not each
act of Kindness or harslmess leave an i'm
print on ourselves, our hearts and charac-
tiers? Perhaps we, at the time, are as un-
conscious of the marking rs we are of The
