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

that a stauiding army is neocessary to
