'lgi PIWCLE PrOP flare glad to see that our fellows are not at all demoraltied by failure of the Admtinistration to order the immediate withdrawal of the federal troops to their quarters. Their rnm and calm attitude in the presence 'of all sorts of conflicting rumors laduees to believe that they are rapidly awakening to the fact that the st aus pe0, which kept us in suspense and hLiety for many weeks, and slogged wheels of trade and Industry, has rbeen raised by the succeassul operation of Our government, and that the Loulsiana 'case, which has vexed the country and ourselves for so many years, is practieally settled. The unexampled political trials and mental and bodily sufferlog which have afflicted them for so long a time, have quickened their intelligence and endowed them with a agaoity whicho no other community in the United States can lay claim to. They understand that a State governlment in full operation cannot be overturned by the mere hesitation of the Administration to take poslStie action in the matter of rival to the Governorship, or by the fulminations of Iadical demagogues in the North. They appreciate the embarrassment under which Mr.

Hayes labors, beset and Importuned by his liadical supporters on the one band to extend some sort or recognition to Packard, and urged vn the other hand by the representativos of Louisiana and South Carolina to immediately withdraw the troope; but they know their own strength too well to fear that any harm can come to them from delay in the execution of the conciliatory policy which is the sine qua non of the success of Mr. Hayes' administration. They have repeatedly announced their firm resolve not to surrender their govern'ment at the demand of any power in the land; they have weighed the conseoquences of resistance to any authority that may attempt to enforce against them the ridiculous pretensions of B. Packard, and are ready to abide them. They will heartily and vigorously support the Governor in the most aggressive policy he 'may adopt, and will applaud every act of his abd the Legislature tending to assert their full authority and to put an end to the farce which ti daily enacted at the St.

Louis Hotel, and which is becoming a little tedio.t but they do not fear that their government is at all endangered by the obstinate refusal of Packard and his handful of followers to confess themselves defeated. In a word, they know their rights and, knowing, dare maintain them. We entirely concur in these views. We know that Mr. Hayes, though he may allow men like Blaine to pester and bother him into a postponement of active measures to pacify the South, will yet, and before long, pcrform all that he has promised-not because of any real sympathy or liking for us, but for the simple reason that his personal interests require it, and that he dare not do otherwise.

We have on our side both might and right. Mr. Hayes, so far as his title to the presidency is concerned, has neither. We can and will maintain our government; he could nos maintain htiimIse in the presidency a single it he should provoke the milOas who voted for Mr. Tilden into resistance to his pretensions.

That resistance can only be provoked by oelik stllrts I the South, and be tdemeb ougaOwb to undertake the Administration has beyond doubt determined to send a oommiesten to South Carolina and Louisiana before taking any decalsve steps in "the new Southern policy." Certainly it would have been more saUtsfastOry to the conus try had the President ordered the with. drawal of the troops without further delay, and thus left the last vestige of the Packard fraud to vanish from the publl sight. The threatened invasion of this new commiesleon, however, does not seem in the least to have weakened the faith of the people in the stability of their government, nor to have, in any considerable ex" tent, disturbed the publlo mind. Ind deed, it we are to judge by the transaotions in State securities, and by the large payments of taxes yesterday to the Nicholls' colleotors by some of the heaviest taxpayers in the State, we should say that the people realised that the failure of the Administration on Monday to recognise the Packard gov. ernment in any manner, shape or form, had effectually settled the businoess of that fraud for all time.

We must bear in mind that the P'resldent lha a difmcult duty to perform in this matter. A truly great man In his position would have in view only the paollloanti of the country and the triumplrant success of a groat policy, and would move forward in his work with vigor and promptness. But the Iresldent is not a great man. Ile is simaply a smugaoloous Ilitlian with good intentions in a great matter which is anttagontzed by manty of the ablest and most powerful leaders of his party. lie is determined to oarry out his Houthern policy, but ho has not the courage to defy or endanger his party; and in his efforts to carry out the first and preserve the unity of the latter, he has btruck upon a line of notion which leads to disoussions, commlssions and delays.

That the Nicholls government Is the legal and only existing government in the State of Louisiana, has been positively determined by the Administration. The Preeldent understands that the Nicholls government is as much the government of Louisilana as the Roebinson govern. meet is the government of New York. The commission, we therefore assume, is designed simply to remove Packard out of the way. There is still a fear in the public mind at the North of the people of Louisiana.

The apprehension exists that to withdraw the troops without affording Packard and his pals protection would subject them to the murderous fury of the peopie, who would merolilessly exterminate them, We do not care to discuss the absurdity of this apprehension. We cannot now reverse the course determined upon by the Administration, and we presume we must endure what of inconvenience may result from the delay it may cause in the removal of a dis. turbing element from our political and bus.tese interests and affairs, Ritt while the President and this com. mission are pursuing their peculiar line of agtlon the government of Louisiana will go on in the vigorous discharge of its functions. Complete in all its departments, executive, legislative and judiclal, reaching every neighborhood of the State, recognized by the people n0 all wr Nwho annd nnlnra it In no fl r.r rooted in the public heart and confl.

dence as tho pines and oaks of our forrests are rooted in the soll. The people reognizeo it and are paying it their taxes to the amount of many thousands of dollars; the people recoguizo it and are obeying tke mandates and proceases of its courts, and trusting their lives and properties to its protectivo arm; the peoolie recognize it. and flveo thousand disciplined citizen. soldiers are ready to sustain it with thefr best blood. The overthrow of such a government is an impossibility; to attempt it would be a crime against God and man; a folly suceh as has seldotrm shown its hideous front upon the earth.

To talk of dispersing the Nicholls government by an order front Washington, or disintegratiag it through the machinations of a commission of pollticians and setting up in its stead the St. Louis Hotel fraud, is idiotic drivel. Packard and his government, unless our people are basely false to themselves, is simply a raw head and bloody bones to frighten Carondelet street. It may strut in its squalid glory yet a week or two through the filthy corridors of the St. Louis Hotel, like a crazy actor in a royal role, but, commission or no commission, its career must now come to a speedy end.

It has been surmised that the object of the President's commission is to make an adjustment of Louisiana affairs on the Wheeler plan. If this be indeed the object of the commission, it is coming upon a fruitless errand. The day of compromises in Louisiana is past, and the people would hold that man in execration who should venture to consider any proposition of a compromise with the Packard fraud. The Nichoils government is in full and complete possession of the State. It has nothing to ask from Washington and nothing to concede to Packard.

We will enter into no compromises and we will make no bargains. This fact may as well be announoel now as later. There ii only one matter now to be settled in the affairs of this State, and that is not the recognition of the Nicholls government nor the adjustment of any question by a compromise; it is the exterpation of the Packard fraud at the earliest possible day. lBosarxe Caoi.es is O11 i elegan.bottle iL Mr. feary Shepherd, the rgent for the Brookes, of Boston, the heirs of the late B.

hepherd, the largest taxpayers In this city, and perhaps in the State, yesttrday called at the otlee of Major Burke, the 'Tax Colleotor for the First District, and paid hib taxes to the State. Mr. David Urquhart aooonpanled Mr. Shepherd and paid the taxes of large property of the Slocemb family. The payments of a few such large taxpayers received by Major Burke yesterday aggregated a a very large sum.

There were a great many smaller taxpayers who crowded the oftlce asking for receipts for their taxes or licenses. These payments are made in advance of the date when they are colleotible, the twenty days' grace not having yet expired. We hear of a like alacrity and real in the Fourth I)tltrict, where our active young friend, lobhard Bond, recently appointed to the collectror hip, had barely organized his omfine and arranged his pempere before the largest taxpayers in the district presented themselves and demanded receipts fr their taxes. On, of the first to mnake this proffer was Mr. John the largest properly holder and planter In the state.

We refer to these facts as proofs of the eonfldenli of our large property holders in tfhle stability antd prmtanency of the Nichodli goornruent. The gentlemon whoevirri( this pr.ori ptl tude and zonl in rndet lolg coit.rllb'itlons for the maintenant of tatlit government are of the class of prudlent anil conservative oitizens who have the sagacity to comprehenrl the situntllon and the patriotism to render a prompt and cheerful support to the legal government of the Let their example Ie followed by all good ctllirenn, and the rongest of all assurances will thereby be afforded of the stability and eficlenooy of the Nicholls government. The American people have little respect for senti- mental claims and grievances, and the Federal Administration, whclh pecuIlarly represents the practical side of the national character, and that large and controlling class of the people who would submit to any kind of usurpation rather than have a distrurbaaoe of the peace which might Imperil monetary values, will soon give the cold shoulder to Mr. Packard when the commission which it Is about to send here discovers the taxpayers of the city and State are unanimous and sealous in their support of the Nicoholls government; that Mr. Packard can collect no money from any citizens except a fcw speculators interested In keeping alive his pretensions, and that the legal government of the State cannot be displaced without a most desperate and bloody confliot.

Now that Packard has got, as people believe, the nameless force, lost by Professor Wingard on Tuesday night, the boys may expect some fun. Packard's force heretofore lhas been numberloss, express it more correctly, with such few numbers, that it might have been said that there was nothing in it; but with his new powerful engine of destruction on hand, joined to his flabcock engine, well may he sally out to die on the streets, as he has been inuvlted to before, in a noble attempt to recover what he never possessed. Meanwhile the White League, as we are flicilally Informed, is very nervous, and sleep has deserted their pillows. Tthe poor- ftltws, in fact, will not be able to stand the pressure much longer, and will be forced in self-defense, to make afflidavit against the Boss if he does not stop, and have him lodged in jdil for threats and intimIdation. In reply to one sent by himself, Ma.

jor E. A. Burke received a telegram from Washington last night, saying that the President had not weakened on his Southern policy, and positively that the issue would be satisfactory to the people of Louisiana. We may remark that the gentleman from whom Major Burke received this dispatch is as near the inner circle of official life at Washington as any man not connected with the government can be, and that he is a man of national reputation. We have had compromises, committees, electoral tribunals, returning boards, aliundes, and other similar nuisances, but now we are to stand the brunt of a "Southern Commission." What that may be, nobody can tell, and it is to be presumed that nobody will ever be able to tell, even when the thing comes off.
