The Presidents Title.

A Northern exchange before us,
says the New Orleans Democrat.
reiierates the statement that Mr..
Hayes cannot set Packard aside
without impeaching his own title.
1t is hardly credible that MIR.
Hayes will waste his opportunities
in VAIN and idle efforts to cure the
defects in his title to the Presi-
dency. The world is too well ac-
quaiuted with the defects of thai
title, too familiar with the mass
of political fraud ia which it is
based. for MIR. Hayes to hope to
give it even an air of fairness and
legality. He cannot nuke one
cri,ne rightf,,l and innocent by
perpetratlng another; he cannot
make the perjury and bad faith
through which the whole country
was defrauded in the matter of the
Presidency, right and just, and
logical, by now using the power OF
his high office to defraud The peo-
pie of Louisiana in the matter of
their State Government.
Mr.. Hayes title is already i'm
peached by the whole country, and
1t will be condemned by posterity.
There is no law, human or divine,
that can make it good. The estab-
iishment of the Nichols govern.
ment cannot damage it. nor the
recognition of Packard improve it.
Its weakness is in the fact that it
exists in violation of the constitu-
ton and laws of the country, and
the only strength it can acquire
will be. IN such tolerance as by
wisdom and Cancellation. its pos
SCISSOR can secure for it from the

so far from Mr. Hayes being
logically bound to recognize Pack
ard, such a course ON his par,
WOULD be the height of unwisdom
he. were to attempt to Justify
the course of the rascals who stole
the Presidency by recognizing the
.niIuitous pretensiops of Packard,
ne would whiten not single stain
upon their records, nor add ail
iota of legality to his title. while
he would plunge one State into
bloodshed and ruin, likely convulse
the whole country, wreck his ad-
mInistration and cover himself
with infamy. .
We have no idea that Mr.. Hayes
will make any silly effort to vail
date his title by recognizing Pack
ard. The issue is no longer one
of title. Nothing the President
may do can change that. The
only question is, has MIR. Hayes
the sagacity and honesty to at
tempt to pacify the country, heal
its discussions, and give the South
peace and a new career of pros,
perity?
We con conscient,ousiy say that

pose, and that he aciN carry 1t out.

Relative to Grant Parish.

We notice III The rump official
il urnal that the Packard House
has changed the lines of Grant
parish 30 AS to make Pineville the
parish seat. This Was the cleo
tioneering hobby of Mr.. Barrett,
who engineered the bill through
the House, aud Bob. Hunter, ESQ,
alias Tep-mile Bob. II appears
that the orig nat,r of this bill. Mr.
Barrett, deserted the Packard
rump and swore himself into the
legal House. Finding his favorlit
hobby would fail there, he deser,
ed this House also and swore him
self back into the rump again, amt
then succeeds in passing his bill.
We would Inform MIR. Barrett that
he does not represent Grant par
ish in the rump or anywhere else,
aud the people of Grant would
like to be Consulted upon such u
great change AS this is. The fol-
lowing was the Legislation on the
subject

thereof, reported by the committee
Was read.

suspended the bill was read Sec
ond time.
Mr.. Barrett moved to suspend
the rules SO AZ to consider the bill.
as being engrossed.
Mr.. Davidson moved to post
pone further consideration OF the
bill until Thursday week, and call
ed for the previous question there
on.
MIR. Souer made the point. of
order that the motion to postpone
was not III order, as a motion to
suspend the rules so as to consider
the bill AS being engrOssed was
before the House.
The Chair maintained the point
of order.
MIR. Davidson called for the yeas
