dined with Evarte this evening. Sub
sequently your correspondent called
upon him and ascertained the fact that
he does not intend to discuss the situa

He says that his business here is purely
with the President, and that it does not
avolfe any discussion of his title to the

Cluding a survey of the present condi

m te interview was that the President
conducted his part of the conversation
na such a manner as to indicate that he
regarded Hampton as Governor of the
State, and all his remarks as to the fu

or implication that Hampton would be

An Or4d r WhIhlh Nt~indn Unrevok"d and
iUnxýserate d.
Fromt a private letter from (ion. It. I.
(libson, just received by us from Waush
ington, we extract the following Inter
esting ILaHssltgOs relating to tihe former
order or (len. (Iraut to remove the
troops, and the vieows of Mr. Hayes In
constituting his n ysterious commission.
After referring to a visit to President
(lrant during the last days of his ad
ministration, (;en. (libson continues:
I felt it to be, my liduty to tell Prosl
dent Grant frankly that the attempt to
overthrow the goverinment of the peo
phe In Louisiana by the ntilitary forces
fd' the UTnion awl to install the recent
United Htates Marshal, Mr. Packard,
would lead to bloodshed and the most
deplorable conselquenees. lie acquitted
me at once of attempting anything like
a menace, and replied that, he had made
up his mind that the lday was past when
State govornnml.,tts could be upheld by
Federal bayonets, and that he had do
terninod that the proper place for the
troops was thie barracks and not the
streets and Stateo-ouse in New Orleans.
He thereupon is00(ed instructions which
were intended to rer0ovo the troops to
their proper quarters, and when in
formed that they diid not appear to be
understooid, observed that he had never
in his life made an order more explicit.
1ies termi expired the day after and that
order stantds unrevoked aind unexecuted.
It is due to President Hayes to say
that at our first interview before his in
auguration, he intimatcl hlis intention
to send a commission to New Orleans,
but it is also due to him and to others
as well as myself to say that we were
led to believe, after subsequent conver
sations, that he had abandoned the
plan of a commission. When, there
fore, informed of his determination, I
expressed my 'surprise and regret and
my inability to convey to him the deep
disappointment the people of Louisiana
would experience at what they would
regard as a sudden departure from the
policy of his inaugural.
The President declares that he in
tends to adhere to his inaugural, and
that the commission will be so consti
tuted as to carry out the policy therein
announced. In the face of these as
surances I cannot doubt the patriotic
purposes of the President, and hope the
members of the commission-distin
guished citizens of other States-may
be treated with consideration, courtesy
and hospitality.
The President understands that no
commission can pull down or set up a
State government, nor compel any re
linquishment of right, nor relieve him
of his responsibility, nor conceal from
the people of the Union the true issue
in Louisiana, nor justify any govern
mental action in violation of the con
stitution. He very well understands
that if he had a secret purpose to vio
late any public pledge he has made, and
intended the commission merely as a
pretext or a Ulind, the attempted dis
guise would only add to the disappoint
ment and resentment with which the
people in all pa:rts of the Union would
regard such conduct. Even the pres
ence of an ex-Confederate in his Cabi
net would be regarded as part of a de
liberate plan to cajole and deceive the
very people whose confidence the ap
pointment was intended to secure, and
the distinguished gentleman from Ten
nessee would be looked upon as a
mere placeman and lackey, if indeed
he could be induced to retain his port
folio.
But I cannot believe for one moment
that the solemn declarations of the
President were made only to be repu
diated, or that the distinguished states
men of his Cabinet would be parties to
such a stupendous transaction.
They know that the Lower House of
Representatves would nevýrvoteas 4do
sliana to the remorseless despotism of
alien adventurers.
The desire for a commission springs
from utter mnisapprehension of the state
of facts in Louislana. It is widely cir
culated and generally believed that
there are dual governments In that
Htatoe. This is a popular but funda.
mental error. There is but one govern
ment in the Htate of Lousleana; com
plete in all its branches, the executive
legislative and Judicial and in full and
peaceful operation, with (iov. Nicholls
at its head, just as the government of
the 4tate of Now York, with (boy. Rob
inson at its head.
Laws are pansed by the (eoneral
Aseombly and duly promulgated. 'the
courts are open from the lowest to the
hIghest, and every day deorces Involv
ing the lives, iproperty and rights of the
people are oeforced. To this govern
rentt ti peoleopl cihoerfully pay taxes
and yield obtdlience. ThEy know no
,tlher; they coo no other they hear of
no other in their daily walfts. ow then
canlI it aI tld that ther are dtiual gov
ernnments? Who repromont O the other
governrrontl? The plain aInswer is thus
military foroos of the Ilnion surround
llog t H Mtat, IHi O1.U, ill whicht atr a
handful of radventiure'rs clfbosiogod -
and who woutld go t utf ly about their
ionalnse if tha ordior of i'romildent Grant
wore olneyai. TIhe boast of these pro
tconders that they had audacity and re
oturte scuflieolnt to creato a breach of
the pieac and dieturbhance, I lltheo rtroet
nioar l.th Mute , mouso,- strlangle hamst
shown how far they dlllitnd upon the
popi lt, fttr tllpnort, in the avont of tihe
withdrawal of the troous. Yet this
)bomuLt and ,bluter, which you know to be
slmply ridiculous to be without the
l ightost titlo to res plOt - is sald to have
had weight in the d(etorminlatlon of the
qiucetion, You know that if the troops
should he withdrawn 'Packard's adhe
rente would not be heard of and that
they could no mnor create a dilsturbance
than a pebble thrown into the Missis
ilppi river could cause a crevasse. hut
the effect of a commtisson is to give dig
nity to his pretensions to warm them
Into lifo -- boo:nse it proceeds upon the
assumption that thern is some other
governmnent in Louisiana to deal with
and perhap.l treat with, besides the ex
isting government, even though that
government be a mere shadow reflected
from the bayonets of the Union and
which would disappear with them.

cheating them out of their understand

"Sir, It shall not bo till the last mo

"I admonish every industrious laborer
in the country to be on his guard against
such delusions. I tell him the attempt
is to play off his passions against his in

name of liberty, to destroy all the fruits
of liberty; in the name of patriotism, to
injure and afflict his country; and in

A Challenge.
Editor Democrat-A telegram, some
days since, announced as a wonderful
feat the breaking by Capt. A. H. Bo
gardus of 1000 glass balls, at 18 yards,
in 1 hour 42 minutes and .50 seconds,
using two double-barreled shotguns.
Since then the newspaper account
of this ridiculous feat has been pub
lished.
I now propose to wager Capt. Bo
gardus or any other man or woman
$10,000 to $5000 that in 10 minutes, with
a single-barrel muzzle-loading boy's
shotgun, No. 12, gauge 24-inch barrel, I
will break 2)00 glass globes, (such as
Bogardus broke,) said globes to be 50
yards off when I start. The loser to
pay, besides the bet, for the gun and
globes. I can be seen by any person
meaning business at 58 Camp street.

Senator Butler was informed by a I
Cabinet minister, before he left, that
the otbject in hnaving (en. HamJ p ton
here was merely formal. The impres
sion prevails that Hampton's visit will
be very brief not lasting beyond a sin
gle day. There is no reason to appre
hend that he cannot take care of the
honor of his State and himself in any
interview he may have with the Presi
dent. His authority is so well estab
lished and fortified by judicial decisions
that it will not be possible even for
Hayes to lend the army much longer to
the support of Chamberlain's preten
sions.
Kellogg gives an account of an inter
view with Senator Morton,in which Mor
ton told him that he, Edmunds, and Mc
Millan, members of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, had agreed to
report in favor of seating Senator Eustis
at the next session, upon the ground
that the Senate having decided that
Pinchback was not legally elected Sen
ator, there was a vacancy, and that
Eustis having been elected by the
Wheeler Legislature, the legality of
which had never been disputed, he
(Eustis) was necessarily the Senator for
the unexpired term of Plnchback.

[Sp c al to Cincinnati CcmmerciaL]
WAHIS3NTON, March 26.- Clerk Adams
has decided to place the name of Pat
terson, vemocrat, of Colorado, on the
rolls. At the October election Belford
was elected by the Republicans for both
the unexpired term of the Forty-fourth
and the full term of the Forty-fifth
Congresses. In November some of the
Democrats of the State voted for Pat
terson for the Forty-fifth Congress,
while the Republicans did not vote at
all, holding that Belford was elected in
October. Adams will seat Patterson,
on the ground that by a law of Congress
the Representatives are to be elected in
November of the year preceding that in
which the Congress is to assemble.

While Axtell was holding the former

Some of the best citizens of Utah have

against Axtell. The allegations have

NOUTHERN POLICY.
What the Presldent Maid to a eIlega
tion of southern Republleans.
(Special to N. Y. Herald.]
WASHUI.STON, March 25.-A delegatios
of Southern Republicans from the Stae
of Mississippi, represented by Jonathas
Turbell, who is an officeholder here it
one of the departments, called opon
the President yesterday afternoon to
talk over Southern affairs and matters
pertaining to his policy in general
They were kindly received by the Preat
dent, who spoke quite freely with them,
the principal subject of conversation
being the cessation of military inter
ference in the two Southern States.
President Hayes said that the policy of
sustaining State governments with the
aid of troops was not, in his mind, the
proper thing to continue, and hence he
had reached the conclusion that it was
incdmbent upon him to change it. Be
sides, public opinion had been aroused
upon the subject, and was for the most
part opposed to it. In addition to this
it was evident that Congress would not
furnish him with the troops to continue
such a policy, and if he did not have
the troops he coult not well see how he
would be able to use them. The failure
of the army appropriation bill showed
what Congress thought. If this were
to continue it would seriously affect the
army, as no provision would be made
for the payment of troops.
