He Gives Mr. Hayes a Plain and square
Talk.
[Oinolnal ti Enquirer.]
WAHrri:iTO;, Mal ob 22 -- Be says that he wants
no Comminston, and if one is sent to the State,
he will only poiut to the records and thu judg
meunts of the courts to sustain his position as
the legal Governor. He wants Hayes to place
him on tthe same footing, with respect to the
orders cf the officer oo o.na'ding the Federal
f rces as have been issued to the troops in Lonut
siana. He indicatei that it such orders are is
eun:l he will settle the problem within seventy
two hours. If the troops will merely maintain
the peace, not interfere with the civil functions of
the courts, he thinks he can settle the
troubles now extisting, and he proposes
to do it in this wise: In 1869 the Legirlature
of the t"tate, in ti'e hands of the Radicals, passed
an ejlctment law providing that if any offloer of
the state held his office unlawfully he should be
ejected upon the writ of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The law was passed for an emer
gency, which at the time was intended to eject
certain Democratic ofllcers who had been
counted out on the Retuniug Board plan
and refused to vacate their offices. Hampton
saysv that he will act under ths law. Acting
Chief Justice Willard is to isune the writ of eject
mont. and place it in the hands of the Sheriff for
-ervice. If the United states milltary officers re
rusH to allow it to be served, a test is to be made.
Unid r the statute law such resistance is a felony,
and the Sheriff can, in his discretion, call upon
an unlimited posse to sustain himself and the
dignity of the court.

A Lady in Palmyra Freezes Out a Tramp.
[From the Hannibal Clipper.
The wife of a certain miointer in Palmyra has,
since the viasit of Mirs. Tuacer to that city, pro
fessed sanotification. La-t Friday a tramp
marched into the kitchen of the aforesaid minis
ter's wife and demanded something to eat. The
lady, without a word, went and got a bible and
read to the tramp a chapter or beripture. Then
she knelt down by him and prayed that
his soul might be fed with the foot and
drink of everlasting life. khe prayed long
and earnestly -- she prayed by the hour.
Mean ime that tramp stood there, with his arms
crossed over his stomach, wonder ing if she never
would get through administering to his spiritual
wants and give a little attontion to his temporal
wants. He was forced to conclude that she
would not. While she was yet on her knees ap
pealins to the Throne of Grace for mercy on his
soul, the tramp siently and sadly stole away,
profanely rrrm.rking, when he reached the
street, that "euch treatment might be very good
for his col, but it was bad on his stom ach."
