Two old citizens of Now Orloeans died, ran few days ago, in Paris--Mr. Eu,;ene ~ 3eusseau, formerly cashier of the (,iti uens' Bank, and Mr. Pierre Davis, who sfor a long time was dheotor of the Orn leans Theatre, one of thO blotted out " landmarks of our city. . These two names, Rousseau and Davis, will recall to the minds of our old population many happy reminis e.cnaes.. They lived here then New Or leans reveled in hope and- riches. The one, a steady, intelligent, thorough ,man of business, represents Jhe old Time and halcyon days when New Or :-leans was the commercial metropolis of the South, all the riches of the Missis ulppl Valley passing through her hands, while the sugar and ootton from her i.elds lured into her ootfers the wealth of the Northern and transatlantic capi allsts. The other, essentially an artist mad a man of elegant tastes, a perfect counterpart of his bosom friend, the mann of business, soared in a lighter, though perhaps no less essential an atmosphere. His glory It Is to have carried the fame of the Or -lhas Theatre, which none of us can i remember without a grateful retrospeo tive acknowledgment, to its greatest height by a judicious selection of artists and able management. It has been many long years since .both of the departed left Louisiana to a- bide in the gay and intelligent me itropolls of the world, yet the news of their demise falls upon the hearts of their many friends here mournful as Y- tetl of the funeral bell which re lflves the memories of the past that Slatermingle the pensive smile of pleas. ant recollection with the shadowy tear -:of regret. W NO A 1AI S QUO. Our telegraphic correspondent speaks of the prolongation of the status quo as being in somebody's mind in Washing ton. He forgets that that anomalous condition of things has long since ceased; that Gen. Grant's last order distinctly swept away all pretense of such a monstrosity in government, and that now, instead of t'le chaos of dual 'governments in Louisiana, there is but one lawful and constitutional govern at, which is in the 411 exercise of all the powers of government, is able to enforce all its acts, and neither asks nor needs any recognition or aid from the SPederal Executive. All that is asked or dxpected from that power is that an in burgent, impotent and insignificant equad of disturbers of law and order, be not enabled by a certain quast coun t$siance of United States soldiers, to .e.tt4up in our very midst a revolutionary e element which has only the power to create disturbance and incite timidity and anxiety among quiet people. These Sdisturbers ought to be subjected to the testraints and penalties of the laws, and we hope they will be pursued and held to justice for their disorganizing Ssand criminal acts. IT I1 JI BLAIINE We knew it could not be Packard. { The Bose is too-well, we will call it conservative, to get up a bloody riot cx proprio motu, or die In the streets in any shape or form, in consequence of the workings of his own volition. Ever slnce the gore-foreboding rumors of Packard's meditated sortie at the head of a brigade or so, we have been in a fldeep state of mind about who was at 'the bottom of it. The old adage says that there is always a woman "at the bottom of it," but in the present case it searcely seemed probable. As we said before, it could not be Packard, but °then who ? Thanks to our friend Buell, now we feel better; he iuforms us that Jim Blaine, the loud-mouthed, heavy villain of the bloody-shirt drama, is the Sdthor of the desperate scheme, the bare news of which for the last two nights disturbed the sleep and unset tled the nerves of Fred Ogden and the boys. We feel better in every s.y, now that we are informed that Jim Blaine is working that thing. e were afraid that that desperate man had a handin it. As matters theimpresarlobeing a flit-class -" 4*.R4 We cannot listen with patienee to the w complaints of those who are perpetu ally talking about the distress and anxiety of mind resulting from delay in the realization of the hope inspired by - Washington dispatches that the Fed eral troops would soon be withdrawn from the vicinity of the St. Louis Hotel. We do not deny that an order to the troops to retire to their quarters would be a good and a proper thing in itself, for there Is no good reason why they should be stationed in the heart of the city; but we certainly do not consider that the existence of our government is at all endangered by the presence of troops near Packard's stronghold, or anywhere else within the limits of the city. So far as we are informed, Mr. Hayes has never promised that he would remove the troops. He has a constitutional right to station them where he pleases. There are troops in New York, Massachusetts and other States, and yet we do not hear the people of those States whining about their presence and acting as if every thing were going to the "demnition bow-wows," because of their presence. They know that their governments are secure so long as they are able to sus tain them pnd to preserve that peace and good order without which civilized society cannot exist. Their position differs little from ours, and if we are more agitated and anxious and dis tressed about our political situation, it Is our own fault. Governor Nicholls has not asked for Federal recognition. Our Legislature is not on its knees be fore the nation, begging for permission to conduct the legislation of the State. j It is going right ahead, attending to its i business and asking no countenance or favors from any power or authority in the land. We do not notice at Odd , Fellows' Hall or the Governor's office, c or in the Supreme Court, the existence a of any such languor as is said to pervade the commerolal and monetary circles of r this city and to paralyze commerce and a trade. a Why is it, then, that we hear com- v plainte of anxiety and distress ? Where a does the trouble lie? It lies in the fact f that the people who utter these oem- . plaints are either too timid to venture g their preclout shekels in any enterprise ii or investment over which the least cloud b of unoerthinty hovers, or too ignorant I to comprehend the real drift of the po- I litical events that have happened since p the inauguration of Mr. Hayes. To li these people we wish to address a few e nertinant remfrka._ We have heretofore stated the reasons why it is simply ridiculous to suppose that the Southern policy of Mr. Hayes, as announced by himself and those who represent his views, will be changed to gratify a few carpet-baggers intent upon plunder--the main reason being the undoubted fact that, by surrendering to the demands of these irresponsi ble political adventurers, he would bring upon himself contempt and ridicule and lose his only chance of drawing to the support of his Adminis tration a majority of the people. We are acotstomer tubelieve that a Remb. Iloan Administration looks above all things to its own interests; we know that the interests of the present Ad ministration demand the pacification and conciliation of the South, and that that end cannot possibly be attained by unwarranted interference with the de jure and de facto, governments of Lou isiana and South Carolina. How then can it be reasonably supposed or feared that any hostile action will be taken by Hayes against our government? It is out of the question. We have nothing to apprehend from Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet. If there is any danger to the stability of our government at this time, it must come from the inherent weakness of that government itself. Is it inherently weak? Can it not main tain itself without extran|ous support? That is the only practical question affecting our situation, for it may safely be assumed as a settled fact that in these days no State government in this country will stand that cannot sustain itself. Now, we should like to ask the 4 doubting Thomases of this city wherein our government is weak, or what reason they have to fear that it cannot stand so long as a few Federal troops remain sta tioned in a particular part of the town. We have a government in full operation. The executive, legislative and judicial departments of that government are moving steadily along'in the perform ance of their prescribed duties. The only State officer who is recaoitrant and refuses to discharge the proper functions of his office is the Treasurer, and the Legislature has wisely provided for the appointment of an Assistant Treasurer who will soon replace that officer and represent him in the State government so long as he remains recreant to his duty to the people. What, then, is needed to complete our governmental establishment? Absolutely nothing, so far as we can see. What is required to enable our machinery of government to operate as smoothly and satisfactorily as that of any State in the Union ? Sim ply, that the people pay their taxes, as they have already begun to do with commendable zeal, and stop prating about the withdrawal of troops and "recognition" from Washington. Un der the present regime our lives are safe, our property is secure, legislation is progressing, appointments are being i made by the Governor, justice is admin istered by pure and able courts, and no element of a government republican in form and substance is lacking in the 3 Nicholls government. It would no doubt gratify our pride to assert our full rights of sovereignty and oust l *nom the . Lou*b11 k$bimue a that bullding. t8n cawn airord to make a small saorfloe of pride for the sake of peace and quiet, and postpone to a more favorable oppotunity the ejectment from the old State-House of Packard and his loafers, Let them continue for a while longer the enact ment there of their daily farce. They have nearly reached .the end of their tether, and will soon disband. The Nicholls government has no need for the present of the Bt. Louis Hotel; it ls permanently established and already complete in all its parts, and so soon as the people realize that fact, and act upon it, the "Louisiana question" will be settled. r WASBINUrON AND 1NEW ORLEANS. Our special from Washington, re ceived late last night, will, to a degree, lessen the great opinion the country had formed of the firmness and courage of Mr. Hayes. The President has a very plain and r simple work before him; but if he is weak enough to be influenced or con trolled in any measure by those leaders of his party who, for ten years, have kept the country in turmoil and the civil power under the heel of the mili tary, he will find a business upon his hands which neither he nor his Cabinet nor his army, can settle except through bloodshed, ruin and devastation. lls simple message of peace, his un guaranteed promise of justice to the South, sent forth on the Fourth of March, filled the whole country with gladness. Even those in the North who under the excitement of a heated politi cal canvass, had followed the banner of the bloody-shirt, applauded and re joiced; while hero, it immediately en hanced the value of property, revived confidence and set millions, who for years had groped in the gloom and misery of political bondage and Ilnan cial ruin, to work with new born hope and energy. Were Mr. Hayes in his weakness or his treache-ry to turn back now and falsify all his utterances and all the pledges of his nearest friends and advisers, the temper of human nature would not bear it, and ere a month this stately tree which sprung in a night from a soil rotten with fraud and per jury, would bring forth, instead of the golden blossoms we have been prom ised, the bitter fruit of clvil strife, bloodshed and anarchy. Mr. Hayes may tremble and quail before the fiery Blaine and the cold, resolute and im perturbable Morton; he may give the lie to his noble inaugural; he may shame the men who have promised so much for him, by becoming the misera ble, contemptible and despised tool of the worst set of politicians who ever cursed and robbed a nation; he may cover himself with shame and infamy, I and make of his administration before it bo six weeks old, a miserable wreck; I something to be kicked, spit upon and laughed at. All these things, by aban doning the policy he outlined in his in augural, he may do, but we tell him now, and the warning will be echoed from every parish and neighborhood of the State, he and his army cannot make 8. B. Packard Governor of Louisiana. It ha should finally yield to his evil advisers and determine to attempt any such wicked and desperate thing, let him prepare for war. In the prosecu tion of such a scheme he will have to fight the armed and disciplined citizens upon the streets of New Orleans, and he will have to invent some new and ingenious process of hateful tyranny to protect the creatures who attempt to hold office under Packard in the par ishes, for they will to hot down, as if q they were mad dogs, in every locality they may venture to invade. He may finally whip out, by murdering them in v suh an infamous warfare, the citizens of New Orleans, but he will have to do v it by sending reinforcements of federal v troops here, and with the fires of civil war raging in one State, a rotten title backing him in Washington, and a vast a number of men in every State in the Union eager to dispute and overthrow by arms his usurped authority, can he ci venture to send reinforcements of troops to Louisiana on such an errand ? Let not Mr. Hayes be deceived, how ever. The people of Louisiana, in the event that an effort shall be made to sustain Packard's pretentions, will rely upon their own arms and re sources. They will feel that they might as well make a desperate fight as to acquiesce in inevitable ruin, and they will drench these streets in blood before they yield them to Federal troops, or any other power that seeks to set over them another infamous and detested usurper as their Governor. We have written, perhaps, more warmly than the occasion warrants; but our purpose is to show, not only the fearful consequences which a would flow from an attempt to make Packard Governor of this State, but also the wickedness of any such des perate folly. We have no fear that Mr. Hayes will attempt to recognize or sustain Pack ard's pretensions. What we are led to apprehend from our dispatches this B morning is, that, in his weakness, in fluenced by Sherman, Blaine and Mor ton, the President may adopt a line of action, the sending of another Com mission here for instance, which will prolong the present uncertain and dis tressing situation which is causing the State the loss of hundreds of thousands - of dollars daily, and which has checked all the springs of industry, business and enterprise. It *seems to us, therefore, that we should pay no heed to Washington, but tv go f)rward with the rapid, complete and vigorous organization of our State H government. The House of Repre sentatives should ~mediately deelare i+i1.+E"-" fri have leagued themselves with the ene mies of the State; every public official in the State, elected or appointed, who does not recognize the legal govern ment should be promptly addressed out of office, that the Governor may order an election and make appointments to fill vacancies; and every office in the State, from the smallest to the greatest, should be filled, and the whole organ ism should go forward without paying heed to Hayes or Washington, enact ing and repealing laws, dispensing civil justice, collecting taxes, and at resting, trying and convicting law. breakers. It is evident that what President Hayes needs is backbone. By pursuing this policy, we will relieve him in a measure of the responsibility of this business and second Evarts, Schurz, Key, Foster and Matthews in sustain ing him against the violent men of his own party. The dispatches this morning simply point to delay in the removal of the troops. By pursuing the policy herein indicated, it will make not a great deal of difference whether the troops be rc moved to-day or in two weeks, Some of the Northern papers advise our people to give up politics now that the election is over. Some people have followed their advice. The Radical papers of this Stato are, just now, show ing the most wonderful care in not dis cussing political questions. Not a word have they to say about, the different governments in Louisiana, nor will they hive a word to say until everything is settled. --And II. PIPER A& CO.'.i &"CARTE BLANCHE SEC."
