LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.

The condition of affairs in the unhap-
py state of Louisiana is still q matter of
comment in this city. President Grant
is commended by every one except the
fre-eating Democrats, for his order dl-
recting General Anger to preserve the
peace and to see to it that the Nichollys
Government were allowed to do nothing
further toward overturning the govern
ment of Louisiana by armed force, until
the reports of the committees OF the two
Houses of Congress had been received.
General Banks expressed the sense of
law-abiding people, in the debate, which
resulted in the majority of the House
ordering the arrest of the members Of
the Louisiana returning board, for re-
fusing to surrender its records. The
General said, s'The state of Louisiana
ought never to yield those papers except
to overwhelming force, and the Govern
ment of the United States ought never
to suffer the state of Louisiana to be
deprived of their possession except by
a power greater than the United States. "
In this, as in every thing else, where
their time honored traditions are likely
to interfere with the Democrats thirst
for Office and power, they do not hest
tate to change front and violate their
hitherto most cherished doctrines
What can possibly have become of the
rights of the states, about which we have
heard so much, when a House of Con-
gross calling itself Democratic will then
trampIe upon the rights of a sovereign
state? Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
during the debate just referred to, said:
Il am struck with amazement that it
should ever have fallen my lot to defend
the rights of an American state against
Democratic House of Representatives. "
But the Democrats want power and they
are hungry for Office, and seem to be not
at all particular about how they are &C
Guired.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20, 1877.

~
THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE.
The report of the joint committee to
propose plan for counting the electoral
vote excites no little comment. The
Democrats seem to find comfort IN the
proposition agreed upon, and appear to
feel more than ever confident of Mr.. Til
denis Inauguration. The Republicans
generally, regard the scheme with less
favor, and many express the opinion
that the Republican members OF the
committee have given away their advan
tage, and that the right of the President
of the Senate to count the votes should
have been asserted by the Republican
party, with the same unanimity which
would characterize the actions OF the
Democrats if the positions of the two
parties were reversed. But If any trl-
bunal is to be established to settle this
question, the committee has probably
devised as impartial-a one as could be
selected. The element of chance in the
selection of the Judge, who will decide
the politics of the commission, Is dis
tasteful to many who would have pre-
ferred to see the question settled by con-
atitutiona means, and to have decision
in accordance with existing law and es
tablished precedent. Others object to
the compromise on the ground that the
Supreme Court should not be brought
into political contests, nor have its mem
bers assigned to political duties. The
debate which will ensue in Congress,
upon this question, viii tend to settle
public opinion and it is now too early to
say that this plan may not ultimately
become satisfactory to the people gen.
orally.

sided and was well known here. The
appearance of Mr.. May upon our streets
yesterday set at rest the rumors of his
having been seriously wounded, as he
gave no appearance of suffering from
any injury. The story of the New York
Tribune, purporting to give an account
of the duel as told by an eyewitness, IN
which Mr.. May is represented as firing
before his time, and then running away,
is regarded as an ingenious attempt to
compel revelation of the real facts i'll
the case.
THE GRAND DUKE ALEXIS.
The President has written to the
Grand Duke Alexis, who is now at Nor
folk, Virginia. in command of one Of the
ships of the Russian Squadron, asking
him to visit Washington and accept the
hospitality of the White House. 1t is
supposed that the President will give q
grand state dinner in honor of the Rus
sian prince, and doubtless public re-
ception also. The utmost feelings OF
friendliness have existed for many years
between this country and Russia, which
will doubtless be increased by the pres
ent visit

A CHANCE FOR THE REPUBLICAN,
1t is intimated that call will be issued
in New York in few days for mass
meeting of all those who are sin favor of
maintaining the integrity and indivisibil-
ity of the Republican party" The friends
of Wendell Phillips and Senator Blaine
are understood to be leading in the move
ment, and the object of the meeting is
open warfare upon the Presidents South
ern policy.
As the Republican has spoken on the
side of Phillips and Blaine on several
occasions and uniformly been in favor of
Kellogg, Packard and Chamberlain, the
mass meeting about to be called will af-
ford that paper good opportunity
to kick at the President and his South
ern policy, (whatever that isl for our
part we don't pretend to know exactly.
But we do hope that he will prove as good
as his promises, and give the people of
Louisiana an opportunity to prove that
they are capable of taking care of their
own interests and thus release the peo.
pie of other States Of the taxation conse-
quent upon keeping an army of soldiers
in that State to prop up obnoxious and
corrupt rulers whose sole object is to
fleece the laborers OF their earnings to
aggrandize themselves.

REPUBLICAN VIEW OF BLAINE,-It is
not wonderful that Senator Blaine dis
likes Mr.. Hayes's conciator-Southern
policy The New York Evening Post
points out the milk in the cocoanut when
it remarks that if the Presidents policy
is successful, as it bids fair to be, Mr..
Blaine's political stock in trade is gone.
The simple truth appears to he that Mr..
Blame cares a great deal more about
himself, and what he thinks are his
chances of becoming presidential can.

Tartly Hayes.

There is really great danger that this
stupid commission business, saws the
World, will hurry the nation into new
and serious peril on account of the pro,
longed inflammation of Radical Republi
canism which it promotes. Governor
Hayes promised to withdraw the soldiers
from New Orleans, and he should have
done it on the day he ascended to power.
and without interposing a commission as
q fence and cover. He should have done
it then, not only because the law required
it. The investigation by his commission
has only served to fasten anew the atten.
ton of this country and other countries
on the fact that he was not the choice of
those who voted in Louisiana, and thus
not the choice of a majority of the ma.
nonal electors. When the votes OF
Louisiana for electors went into the
