THE SOUTH,

THE louisiana Commission organized with
Judge Lawrence as President and Mr.. Hawley as
Secretary. Advisors of GOV. Packard have pre-
pared document for the Commission, in which
the following points made: First, that as to
thirtythree parishes in the state there is con-
troversy or difference between Democrats and Re-
pubcans. Secondly, that in twelve other parishes
the polls were thrown out for intimidation and vi
olence, which had the effect of changing the result
so that either Republican Representatives or Sena-
tors were returned instead of Democrats. Third,
that, accepting the Democratic returns and the
votes actually cast in the remaining twelve parishes
the result would have given Packard for Governor
over Nichols 4O1 majority, while two of the Hayes
electors would have been defeated. The ComE:is-
sion called on the rivals, Governors Packard and
Nichols, on the 9Th inst, but the interviews were
of an informal nature.
THE secretary of states that the order for
the removal of the troops, now stationed in the
state borse in Columbia, South Carolina, will be
transmitted by mail, and that the actual transfer
will not take place before the 10th inst.
THE New York Times, editorially, says: 'It is
probable that within six weeks of the inauguration
of Mr.. Hayes, he will have reached definite de-
cision touching both Of the states whose govern
ments in dispute on his accession to Office. Lii.
path will then be clear to carry out the more per
manent features of his southern policy, well az
to enter the reform of the civil service, the
| principles which he announced in his inaugura
| address,"
TIE departure of the Louisiana commission, ant
the virtual settlement of the South Carolina conro
yersy relieves the cabinet from the necessity of de
voting its entire time any longer to the consider
| alton of the question, and gives its members al
| opportunity to attend to some of the business o
their department.
