TH7 3f3tBIDENT'S MISTAKE.
It President Hayes is coquetting with
he Sonthern Conservatives the papers
. tbng the latter do not seem to
in the secret. It has been surmised
that his object in sappointing a oommis
Oto visit Louisiana and report on
the state of affairs there is simply an
expedient to gain time, and that his
real purpose is to make terms with the
Vonsertative interest at the South and
t a working majority for his adminis
tation in the House. If this is his game
Sres of Louisiana and of the entire
so far as heard from, will not
not assist him in playing it. The con
servative journals of New Orleans and
4lsewherc in the South ate unitedly
apposed to further delay in the cases of
iouisiana and South Carolina on any
pretext or conditions. We would not
say that the Presidentmlght not finally
be able to make the bargain, the design
of which is attributed to him. It might
be possiblb for him to get up a coalition
with a number of Southern Conserva
tives in the House on the terms of recog
Ilsing the Nicholls and Hampton gov
ernments, or merely withdrawing the
Federal troops from South Carolina
and Louisiana, with a distribution of
ofMioes and patronage as another
sweetener. But it is doubtful if such
a bargain would long be kept on
either side, and its effect on the
Hadical wing of the President's sup
porters would probably be damaging to
him. The better and the only reasona
ble way of settling the difficulties at
the South is to make no bargain at all.
If the President will but act right in
this business and honestly try to fulfill
the spirit of his inaugural address, he
can implicitly trust the Southern Sena
tors and Representatives to stand by
him in every effort he may make to
give good government to all parts of
the country. They are alert, and glad
to appreciate any sign of fair dealing
-and justice at Washington, and no com
pact is needed to render them friendly
to an administration which does not
treat them as enemies.
Whatever the President's motive may
be, the idea of appointing a commission
to visit and report upon Louisiana is a
mistake. In this the President has
probably yielded to advice, instead of
following out his gown opinions repeat
edly expressed. In his public utterances
he has pledged himself to a policy of
mon-interference in Southern State
affairs, and has reprobated the use of
Pederal troops in that connection.
These promises were hailed enthu
iaatically by moderate men of both par
ties in all sections of the Union. Had
the President's ilrst official act been the
withdrawal of troops from Louisiana
and South Carolina, it would have been
very generally approved on all sides.
The Packard and Chamberlain factions
expected nothing else, and, after a little
blustering, would have acquiesced in the
recall of the Federal forces, and the
~loholls and Hampton governments
would have quickly and firmly estab
lished themselves by a peaceful revolu
tion. But the President, by postponing
his decision, lost the golden opportu
nity. Every day's delay gives new
hopes to the partisans of Chamberlain
and Packard, and makes the ultimate
adiuatment of the differences on any
terms more and more difficult. Both
parties become more irritated by the
eontinued suspense, and more unwilling
to bide by the final decision. Troops
have not been needed in Louisiana or
8outh Carolina to preserve the peace;
but they may be required there to pre
vent civil war if the danger is tampered
with much longer. The President is
only making matters worse by procras
,inatiOn.
mnly. mnischief can result rrom the
determination to send a new commis
sion to Louisiana, but it is not irremedi
able. If the commission is made up of
air unprejudiced men, who will see and
decide quickly, and if they report to the
Presidebt in favor of withdrawing the
soldiers, the trouble may be terminated
in Louisiana within a short time. The
resater the dispatch the greater the
probability of averting a riotous out
break in that State. The pacification of
Louisiana would be much hastened, of
aOurse, by the adoption of a let-alone
Snlicy in South Carolina. There is,
lortunately, no talk of sending a com
mission into that State, but the invita
lion of Hampton and Chamber
lain to Washington seems, at best, to
defer the hope that the President will
r.mptly call off the troops and leave
lie Hampton government to assert its
authority, which it would easily do
within twenty-four hours, and without
bloodshed, ir it wer" not restrained by
the Federal power. That course, how
4Vert is still opened to the President,
and it is the best. There would be an
1mconsistency in pulling the troops out
of South Carolina and leaving them to
'menace Louisiana; but, this would be
axeused by the country for the sake of
the actual good done in the former
Late, and the peace, quiet and revival
tof business which would follow the ex
periment in South Carolina would be a
etrong argument we should hope, to
induce the President to take a similar
e4i0ee in Louisiana, and so get back
to the solid ground of his inaugural
.dieau.
