The Troops 10 De Removed at Once.
Especial to N. O. Democrat.l

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Senate
will devote the remainder Of the present
session entirely to executive business
and the confirmation of President
Hayes nominations.
Owing to the absence and sickaess of
a number Of Republican Senators who
are not paired off, the Democrats, for
the first time In over a dozen years,
have majority Of one in the Senate.
This settles Kellogg beyond doubt. He
gives the fight up himself, and will
make no further effort to get in this ses-
sion.
The correspondence between Stanley
Matthews. and. Packard, published by
the Associated Press this morning, in
which Matthews suggested to Packard
to resign his claim to the goyernorship,
and thus relieve the administration OF
Hayes of heavy burden, was published
for the purpose of injuring Matthews In
the Ohio Senatorial contest.
It is Packard's dying kick at his de
stroyer.
The louisiana and South Carolina
cases may now be considered as settled
in favor OF the Nichols and Hampton
governments.
The action that the Cabinet will take
Friday will be o mere formal ratifca-
tion Of q decision already arrived at. .
Give Packard my compliments and
tell him he may as well advertise his st.
Louis Hotel for rent and get ready to
move by the 1st Of April.
The troops will be removed Saturday.

Especial to N. 0. Democrat.l

WAsHEeToN, March 15.--Pinchbaok
had Ibng interview with tho Presi-
dent, in which be advised him to Iecog-
nize the Nichols government, which
alone could and would protect all
classes, and give peace and prosperity
to the State.
The President told Pinchback the
ultimate recognition OF the Nichols
government was inevitable, and that 1t
would be we'll for the adherents OF
Packard to know this fact.
Pinchback left tonight for the pur-
pose, therefore, of conveying to the
members of the Packard Legislature the
utter futility of holding out any longer
under the hope Of Packard being recog-
nized by the Administration. He will
speak autheritatively and will convince
those who will listen to him that Pack
ard will never receive the aid OF the
Federal Government.
Soon after the Senate adiourns, all
the troops from Louisiana and South
Carolina will be Withdrawn, and the
rival governments left to take care OF
themselves.
Eustis left tonight, satisfied that no
action will be taken by the Senate at
present on the Louisiana Senatorial
question. =. L. J.

NEW APPOINTMENTS.
Fred Douglass as Marshal OF the
District.
Boutwell, to Superintend New Edition
of the Revised Statutes.
Considerable Dissatisfaction at Bota the
Appointments.
Especial to the N. 0. Democrat

WASHINGTON, March 15.--There Is
great dissatisfaction among the law
yers of the District at the appointment
OF Fred Douglass as Marshal of the
District. Nearly every lawyer in the
District signed petition to the Presi-
dent, praying that Phillips, who has &C
ceptabiy filled the office Of Assistant
Marshal for about q quarter OF q CEN
tury, might be promoted, in accordance
with the principles Of civil service re-
form, to the Marshalship, but Hayes
ignores the petition entirely.
Douglass has rendered Phillips his old
place, but Phillips refuses absolutely
to serve longer in the old rut.
The darkies of the District are not at
all satisfied with the appointment, be-
cause Douglass is too arlstoeratic to
suit good many Of them. They object,
also, because Douglass, to get this
place, had to agree to forego what has
hitherto been the principal duty OF the
District Marshal, to wit: the position Of
Chief Social Factotum OF the presiden-
tial family; the person who introduced
all the strangers visiting the city to the
President, and who officiated as Grand
Marshal and Master Of Ceremonies at
all the public receptions and social
events.
Decidedly the worst appointment that
Hayes has yet made Is that of Boutwell,
to superintend new edition of the Re-
vised Statutes. The last edition was
rendered nearly worthless by the man.
ner In which 1t was superintended by
those appointed for that purpose, who
were either careless or corrupt. The
revising OF this work needs to be done
by q fair minded, astute lawyer, and one
Of more talent than Boutwell,. The bad
odor of this appointment is increased
by the fact that 1t was Boutwell, who
engineered the passage Of the act
which created the office. BUELL..

Of the War Department. It places all
the branches of the military establish

eral OF the Array, and directs all orders,
whether originating with the President
or the Secretary OF War, TO be issued by
the General OF the Army through the
Office Of the Adjutant General. All the

have protested against this radical
change. Gen. Humphries Chief of En-
gineersl Gen. Dunn (Judge Advocate
GENERALLY Gen. McFeely (Commissary
General) and Gen. Benet (Chief Of Ord
nance) have all written letters against
the new system. Gen. Humphries in
his letter says that 1t Is unconstitutional,
as it depriYes the Secretary of War of
the functions now conferred upon Kim
by law. Gen. Dunn declares that these
heads OF bureaus cannot be put on the
staff OF the General in Chief under ex-
istiDg law. Gen. Benet is opposed TO
any transfer from the orders Of the War
Department TO that of the GeneraI-in-
Chief, and says the law OF 1875 provides
that the regulations for the governn1ert
OF the army must be In accordance With
existing laws, and tfen adds. The
Ordnance Department has been, under
the law, subject to the orders OF the
Secretary OF War for half century.

termination communicated to Packard
OF the character of that OF Grant In the
Texas case, the troops should be dis
charged from this duty and Withdrawn
to the proper scene OF their services.
As long as they are kept here to pre-
serve the peace, they are continual
invitation to Packard to violate the
peace by resisting the authority OF the
government which is amply able to
maintain the peace as against all dis
turbers.
We have another precedent set by
General Grant in the Arkansas case,
where peaceful and constitutional adj
justment Was effected, whilst the two
factions we're marshaied in battle array
and only prevented from conflict by the
interposition Of the United States
forces.
That adjustment was prepared by
Grant, and was acauiesed In by the
Democratic Governor, and reluctantly
and under protest by the Radical Gov
ernor, who held possession OF the State
House.
It consisted in simple agreement Of
both to convoke the Legislature to be
composed OF the members who, accord
ing to the commissioners returns. had
received majofities In their several dis
trietg, and submit to them the perform
ance Of the functions imposed by the
constitution Of counting the votes for
Governor.
Either of these precedents would suit
and solve our case, and I am not writing
to admit that a. State which is blessed
with SO large share Of political wisdom
and statesmanship, and such q multi
tude OF political chieftains and senate
rial candidates, IL incapable Of achiev-
ing results 80 easily effected in Texas
and Arkansas. Tie my mind either plan
is preferable to the wretched status quo
or rolling out system which SO many
persons Think will IN time effect the
complete establishment OF the Nichols
government. Either IL preferable to the
miserable and debasing partisan job
berry which Is proposed by some In the
election Of Senator and the distribution
OF offices and patronage. All such
modes deserve the fiery denunciation

been imprisoned in the tank. People

WHee1er NOT ri All UesYFCus Oh kepDfC-
Ing ON the Returning BOARD.
The published statement that Wheel
er was to be sent South as the head Of
the new Louisiana Investigating Com
mittee appears founded on insufficient
conversation with your correspondent
tonight, said the subject had not been
broached to him, and il such propo-
sition was made to him he should con-
slider it very long and seriously before
giving his consent. He decidedly did
not want to go on any such mission !;
thought he had performed his quota Of
such service, and had positive doubts of
the propriety of his accepting any such
position under all the circumstances.
Mr.. Wheeler speaks In the highest
terms OF Hayes personal treatment Of
him, Is warm in the eulogy Of Hayes
and his family, and 1t is very evident
that there is the heartiest sympathy
and co operation between the two; but.
withal, he does not want to have to re-
cord judgment again on the Louisiana
