Show REPUBLICAN H0NJS5TY. Tiio Packard stato government of Louisiana, having served the purpose of lbs Iiayes campaign and obtained suQiciout recognition from CTrauL's administration to enablo tho returning return-ing board to consummate its swindle, is now to bo thrown over by Urant, evidently to rolieve Unycd of tho responsibility re-sponsibility o( carrying out the understanding under-standing which Henna to havo been arrived at between tho le.ulera ot the incomings adminiatration and CIot-ernor CIot-ernor Nicbolla. Whilo- tho recognition recog-nition of the legitimate governments of Louisiana and South Carolina and the withdrawal of tho federal troops from those .states ia the proper tiling to bo done, the act a gret part of its merit by its tardiness, and renders ren-ders more conspicuously bud tho iu-terferenco iu-terferenco of the military- iu the late ; election -and 'its nso to sustain tho returning board of Louisiana, Louisi-ana, which by this order of President Grant ia virtually declared iilepsl and will be swept cut of exist-euca exist-euca at ouco. J3ut the recognition of the A'icbolls govermuent in Louisiana is an acknowledgment of tho fraud it-leney it-leney of Hayes' claim to the presidential presi-dential office, and will continue to stare tho false incumbent in the face during hia.' admiiiiatr.itiou. What Bffci-t tbia piece of trickery uml bad faith towards Kellogg, Packard and tho Welis returning boards will have oa honest republicans remains to be aeon. There is likely to bo some pretty tall howling from the radicals, commencing at Wendell Phillips and coming down to the "PcpnbhVan" scribbler iu tbo Tribune who has bo often expended himself in eulogizing Kellogg and the negroes, and damning damn-ing Xicholli, Wade Hampton and the white of thoeouth. , |
