The Timid Policy.

If there WAS one man more astouished
than every other man in the United States,
it must have been President Grant, Satur-
day morning, March Bird, on waking up and
finding that Packard's gang were still in the
State House on St. Louis Street. If words
mean anything, Grants message to Pack
ard and Nichols Sithdraws his declaration
of the StGtu quo and leaves the two govern
ments to their own strength. He says,
frst, that no State Government in Louisa-
ma must longer be maintained by the use
of the military, and secondly, that the
troops will be used for nothing but to pro
tect life and property from mob violence,
and, that, when the State authorities cannot
do it
A mob is an undisciplined, unorganized,
riotous assemblage of the populace. A
State militia has none of these character
istics; it is organized, officered, subjected
to discipline, controlled by its commander
and obedient to the government.
Gen. Grant was making no allusiou to a
State militia when he spoke of a Mob.
What then did he cxpectH Simply that
he would not be misunderstood, that the old
military instinct of the South with which
he is 81 we'll acquainted would seize the
situation, that within an hour after his
message had reached here the State House
would hc formally invested and that he
would hH reading the details Of its capture
over his coffee next morning.

7 here can be no doubt that tEe recon-

matioa ere wise. The people can gain uothing
by Iawleesncsa, but should subject every
military impuls, to military discipline and
civil control. Mob movements are rarely
wise, humane or successful. Soch irregu
iaIities are akin to anaCch hy-manifestations
of it in modified form-and are to be
found principally either among communi
ties which have not yet thoroughly crysta-
lized into society, as on the frontiers of a
new country, or among old, degenerate
populations eaten up with the moral decay
of socialism and communism.
Louisianians have a government which

pected of Hayes. Promises are more plen-
tiful than authentic, but if language can be
relied on expressing sentiments, his
railroad speech en- route to Washington
ought to be conclusive. He there clearly
fcrshadows the abandonment Of that fat al
policy of the past wi hich has mistaken unity
for Union and the inauguration of another
and happier policy which shall restore a
trne Union of hearts.
