NJ WASHINGTON, March 22.-It has
become evident now that Hayes
has been in favor of the COM
mission for long time as the
pnly way in which he can get rid
pr Packard without danger and
trouble to himself.
Stanley Matthews, even before
bis departure for Ohio, to make
bis fight for the Ohio Senatorship,
admitted to a number Of Senators.
among whom were Senator Cock
rell, Of Missouri, and other demo-
crats, that he feared that the Louis
lana trouble could not be settled
without a oommissieH, and that
Hayes friends, however opposed
fhey might be to this, would have
to consent to it. The commission,
he declared, would be chosen from
among Hayes most trusted
Friends, and would be fully in

The Conflict Coming.

Matters are assuming a feverish cast
around the st. Louis Hotel, and things
look more than ever like conflict. BY
half past nine o'clock Monday morning
there were gathered about the St Louis
| and Royal .st1 Gets entrances about q
| thousand negloes who served to make
the place u laandemonium. These ne
groes are evidently from the country,
| and sae here to join Packards militia.
which he is now engaged in recruiting,
/ He now admits that he will, as soon as
| possible attempt to take back the po-
| lice stations. and says he would not re-
. main in the building two hours if he
had all of has arms back. It can be put
| down as a settled fact that within a very
few days at furthest, Packard will break
the peace. His hackers in the hotel
are hot fur var, and nothing but the
probable outcome is talked about. 1t
is reported he is already in negotiation
! for the purchase of arms. and all funds
i come -atuble are to be used in securing
them
They boast down there that they do
not want the troops to interfere, and
they assert that if might makes right
they have the might. Our citizens
should be prepared for the turning
loose on the streets of Il gang OF igno
rant npgroes led by lad men. for that
now is the evident policy of Packard.
The HitnHtioE is assuming much more
of IL wnrlike attitude than ever before
since january Sand the whole respou-
sy3liity OF the matter will Fest on Puck
ard AMI the fruits lie will gather vii
be iuost bitter,
This move Oh the part of Packard has
had the effect of producing considera-
BE stir among those who reside in the
nes4l4borhood of the S., Louis Hotel

groes always about.
The recruiting service still goes Oh.
but the Boyian police have succeeded
In measure in preventing il. Several
of Puckard's recruiting agents have
been arrested and locked up, caught i'll
the act of enlisting negroes on the
lexee.
At half past ! o'clock the crowd
around the st. Louis Hotel had di1uin-
ished somewhat, but new guards have
been placed on the galleries opposite
Exchange Alley.
From what was said by negro on
the sidewalk, it is probable the recruit

be done, and could therefore, act
confdentially for him in all mat
ters.
The reason why a commission
is sent to Louisiana is because
Hayes is unwilling to communicate
personally with Packard, knowing
well that the latter will furnish all
the communications and letters
passing between them to his enc
my, Blaine. who is waiting for this
opportunity to place Hayes in an
awkward position. Packard made
use of Stanley Matthews letter to
him asking him to give up the
Gove1norship, and published it in
order to injure him tMatthews) {;
Hayes is very much afraid that
Packard will serve him the same
trick. TO provide against the
possibility of this, he will hold no
personal communication with
Packard, bat dictate his terms
through the agency of the com
mission.

1t is getting so in the North
that writer can say in public
print, and even in republican
paper, TINT there can be political
crime worse than secession. The
Washington correspondent of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
confessedly the ablest newspaper
organ of New England sentiment
writing of the fraud, perjury and
corruption by which Hayes vas
made President, says: 1 consider
the usurpation of Hayes, under
forms of law, to be as much worse
than secession as poisoning is
worse than dueling. No free gov
eminent can long exist that en-
dures and tolerates such fraud.
His title to the Presidency will be
as good land no better) as Louis
Napoleon's title to the throne of
France. But, fortunately, we
have means of getting rid of
usurpers that France did not-and
SO we shall propably survive this
assassination of justice, as we did
that murderous assault upon the
Union in 1861. But o fearful
responsibility lists upon the men
who have done this last deed"

Who is to fill Judge Davis's place on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
states9 Leta White~Sulphur-Springs letter
in the Wheeling Register answer: -...
s'It is well known that Mr.. Hayes is anx.
ious to do something handsome for our tai
ented and courteous fellow>citizen, General
Gof. And our t. and C. fellow. citizen is,
like lSsrkis, 'willin'.' And the handsome
thing he most covets is the judicial seat now
occupied by John j. jackson. But our judi
cial aspirant has no idea of pushing the
worthy Judge from his stool, unless it be to
enable him to step up higher. Therefore, it
is arranged, with strong probability that the
arrangement will be carried out, that West
Virginia is to be houored with the high dis
tinction of having the successor of Judge
David Davis, late of the United States Su-
preme Court, taken from among her citizens"
