WINNSilORO() S. G Tuesday, April 17, 187, R. MEANS DAVIS, Idito'r, JNO. E. REYNOLDS, Asoolate Ekditor. Tho situation il Europe is un11 ehanged. Turkey still st.ands wvith a chip on her head, but no one has yet knocked it off. 'The Georgia penitentiary now , ontains twelve hundred convicts, a fact demnonstrating the benefits of .Democratic administration of jus tice. Presidtnt Haves is charged with meeting tho colored brethren but half way a2d appdinting only mulat toes to offico. Tho 8iinon puro blacks *aro boorhing indignant. The Gronsboro, .N. C., Patriot ,notioing -the faot that Judge Maky passed thiko'nigh that town' a iihort time since, -oloses the ,pariigraph ky saying : 'judge Mackey is the only man' in tho'Unitsd=States that Oenoi'al Leach surrenders to as a talker." Judge Maekoy has .talked to some Piuroso. Louisiana. Now that Hampton is firmly s. tablislhed in South Carolina, public attention is centred on Louisiana, a State that has three times repu diated Ralicatlis51 at the ballot box, and yet it not is free. The logic of events, however, and the detormninas tion of the people no longer to sub mit to iller-al authority admit of no doubt that right will in the end premail. The exact time for the colpleto recognition of the Nicholls government cannot be given, though itseoms not far off. The Conmmission that went to New Orleans is accompli ling noth ing. Nicholls refusos to .sabuiit to them the question of the legality of his government, but, claiming that he is governor de juro, is content to show the commission that he is also governor e fiacta. In this ho acts wisely. No Democrat will over again suifor a board composed of a majority of Ropublicans to pass upon his title. The commissioners are there fore at their low's end, and they have tdepiplied to 'Hayes for fur. thur instructions. They describe t 1o situlation in Louisiana as tol lows: If there is a de furc governor in' Louisiana, it is Packard. i'f the 4 .iRotumning Board has the right to scrutinmze the returns of election of mombers of the Legislature the whole Pacekardl governmient is legail. D~oubts exist, however, as5 to thme j uriIadiotion bifrthe Rletninig Board. That the Nicholls government exorcises de./tor Authoity throughm out the entiro State, anid in overy acm e of its soil exep~t the Packard State House which is protected by the troops. Packard's assortion that his authority is recognized in the negro counities is falso. *While ho~ blacks prefer himu, .they aire not iT pr(ared to enforco his claims by a resort to arms. That Nicholls' adminmist ration is T.lhat 'Pacikaris administration cannot be establisboal by a simnplo recognition on tho, part of the Pr~osi, n4mt, but only by the use of a large forc~jruf Federal tr'oops to crush out the acting goverranent an~d the main tonance of garriboils in the Stato during the wholo 6f Packard's TIgtjf tl~s cour wpro praj3tica b)14o ift would in~volve at conitinuaneo, of trial disturbances syd .bluniness de pressmons which clmractorized Kel logg's ad ministration. Sinco the commissioners testify that a stauiding army is neocessary to give Packard oven a semiblancoe of p~owe~r, and sincem the Presidomut,, lby ceasing military interference in So'uth Carolina, has established a precoedent, it follows that Nicholls nmast be, recoignized.
