THE PRESIDENT’S ORDER.
Washington, April 20.- L The Her
ald’s special says: Packard still
maintains a bold front. Ho claims
that lie has abundant rations, means
and friends to hold his ditch until
the President is compelled to llood
it. His Legislators, he thinks, will
come back to him after Nicholls’
Legislature adjourns. He expects to
re-establish his quorum, elect a short
term Senator, and transfer the case
to Washington.
The dispatch continues : The Pack
ard legislative caucus to-night sent a
proposition to Nicholls’ people, offer
iug to dissolve, provided seventeen
now unrecognized returning board
members be paid their mileage and
per diem. The Democrats assented
to the proposition, and I am informed
by a member of the Commission that
both Warmouth and McMillan and
their friends will take seats in the
Nicholls Legislature to-morrow. The
Ludeling faction will still hold out
along with Packard.
The President telegraphed to the
Commission to-day, that iu response
to the request contained in Governor
Nicholls’ letters, an order for the
withdrawal of the troops to their
barracks would be issued forthwith.
The Tribune's New Orleans special
says, the Conservatives will wait un
til Saturday for as many as choose
to come over; then elect United
States Senators and adjourn side die.
If any people remain with Packard,
there is a law passed by Republicans,
somo years ago, under which persons
attempting to constitute an illegal
Legislature can be arrested.
Washington, April 20.—There will
be an abolition of appraisers of mer
chandise in many places. That in
Mobile has already been discon
tinued.
All the members of the Cabinet
were present at the meeting to-day.
The President laid before them the
telegraphic communications received
from the Louisiana Commission,
and much satisfaction was expressed
with their tenor, which indicates an
early adjustment of the political dif
llculties in that State.
Appointment—Wm. Chandiier, of
Mississippi, special agent Post Office.
A number of Commissioners as*
signed for Northern posts.
No Southern appointments report
ed to-day.
The Dispatch left for Norfolk,
whence, after slight repairs, she sails

Secretary Sherman has ordered
District Attomies to proceed in
civil suits against the whiskey riDg
who claim immunity on account of

It can be stated on indisputable
authority that it was determined at
the Cabinet session to-day that an
order should be issued to withdraw
the troops from the city of New
Orleans to their barracks. The pre
cise time when this order will.issue
is not made public. Its promulga
tion is looked for very shortly.

Executive Mansion, April 20.
Sir— Prior to my entering upon the
duties of the Presidency, there had
been stationed by order of my prede
cessor, iu the immediate vicinity of
Ae building used as a State-house in
New Orleans, La., and known as the
Mechanics’ Institute, a detachment
of United States Infantry. Finding
them in that place, I have thought
projier to delay a decision of toe
question of their removal until I
could determine whether the condi
tion of affairs is now such as to either
require or justify continued military
intervention of the National Govern
ment in the affairs of the State. In
my opinion there does not now exist
in Louisiana such domestic violence
as is contemplated by the constitu
tion as the ground upon which the
military power of the National Gov
ernment may be invokod for the de
fence of the State. The disputes that
exist as to the right of certain claim
ants to the Chief Executive office of
that State are to be settled and de
termined, not by the Executive of the
United States, but by such orderly
and peaceable methods as may be
provided by the constitution and
laws of the State.
Having the assurance that no re
sort to violence is contemplated but
that on'the contrary the disputes iu
question are to be settled by peace
tui met hods under and in accordance
with law, I deem it proper to take
action in accordance with the princi
ples announced when I entered upon
the duties of the Presidency. You
are therefore directed to see that the
proper orders are issued for the re
moval of said troops at an early date
from the present position to such
regular barracks in the vicinity as
may be selected for their occupation.

The Clock-makers’ Company have
recently printed a catalogue of the
books, manuscripts, paintings and
prints relating to horology, together
with tile collection of ancient clocks,
watches and watch-works preserved
In their library and museum. These
are now deposited in the Guildhall
Free Library. The list compiled by
Mr. VV. 11. Overall, is a foundation
for a bibliography of horology.
Among the prints is one represent
ing a very extraordinary clock, the
production of Jacob Lovelace, of Ex
eter. It took thirty-four years to com
plete the work ;ho died in 1716. The
movements are: First, a moving
panorama descriptive of day and
night; day is represented by Apollo
in bis car, drawn by four spirited
coursers, accompanied by the twelve
hours; and Diana in her ear, drawn
by stags, attended by the twelve
hours, represents night. Second,
two gilt figures in Roman costume,
who turn their heads and salute with
their swords*las the panorama re
volves, and also move in the same
manner while the bells are ringing.
Third, a perpetual almanac, showing
the day of the month on a semi-circu
lar plate, the index returning to
the first day of every month
on the elose of each month, without
alteration, even in leap years, regu
lated only once in 130 years. Fourth,
a circle, the index of which shows
the day of the week, with its appro
priate planet. Fifth, a perpetual
almanac, showing the days of the
month, week, and the equation of
time. Sixth, a circle showing the
leap year, the index revolving only
once in four years. Seventh, a time
piece that strikes the hour and
chimes the quarter, on the face of
which the whole of the twenty-four
hours are shown and regulated.
Within this circle the sun is seen in
his course,with the time of risingand
setting, by a horizon receding or ad
vancing us the days lengthen or
shorten ;and under is seen the moon,
showing her different quarters,
phases, ago, etc. Eighth, two fe
male figures, one on each side of the
dialplate, representing Fame and
Terpsichore, who move.in time when
the clock as a repeater, to strike or
be silent. Tenth, Saturn, the god of
time, who beats in movement when
the organ plays. Eleventh, a circle
on the face shows the names of the
ten celebrated ancient tunes
played by the organ in the
interior of the cabinet every four
hours. Twelfth, a belfry with six
ringers, who ring a merry peal ad
libitum. The interior of this part of
the cabinet is ornamented with beau
tiful paintings representing some of
the principal ancient buildings of the
city of Exeter. Thirteenth, connect
ed with the organ there is a bird
organ, which plays when required.
Preachers Comparing Soles on the Art
ol Prcurhlmc-Sioakliuc Hum Texts.
At the meeting of the Baptist ministers
yesterday, the topic of discussion was
“Pulpit Preparation.” Alter several of
the white brethren had spoken, the Rev.
Mr. Coleman (colored) remarked that lie
did not think this pulpit preparation
amounted to much. “ You’re got to get
Godin your heart, and then you can go
ahead and hang away. No use to try to
preach without God. You can sweat and
sweat like a lion and you don’t do noth
ing.” Mr. Coleman expressed the opinion
that brethren did not know so much about
the Bible as they thought they did.
Another minister said that his process
was to select a text, look at it, then climb
on top of it, then go down on the other
side and all around it and under it and
then try and go through it. “B it is so
hard,” said he, “that 1 can’t go through it,
I drop it and put it to soak. I tell you
I’ve found a good many hard texts. I
have had some ol' them asoak for five or
six years, and they’re not soft enough yet
lor me logo through them."
The Rev. Mr. Iynapp said lie did not
believe that a sermon should he like an
Enfield rifle, that shoots off in a direct line
and hits only a veiy small target. “They
should be,” he said, “like an old Revolu
tionary musket, with a grea' deal of scat
ter and sweep. You fire them at a mark
and they hit all around it. I’d rather hit
someone, even if he is not the one I aimed
at.” The reverend gentlman added that
he believed in serial sermons. He had
just preached fifteen sermons on David,
with great effect. But he thought he
would "let up on David.” He didn’t be
lieve there was a worse man than David
in the room. He didn’t believe there was
as bad a man. — N. Y. Sun. llth.

THE MAN TO WHOM THE CZAR TENDERED
THE CONTROL OF THE RUSSIAN RAIL
ROADS.
Ross Winans, a well-known citi
zen of Baltimore, died there oil the
Ist iost. aged 84 years. He was bom
in Sussex couuty, N. J. In 1830 he
visited Europe for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and investi
gated the railroad system there. Ho
invented the ■ eight-wheel car, the
came I back engine, and many others.
In 1840 the Czar of Russia tendered
him the railway control in that
empire, which he turned over to his
sons, who made immense fortunes.
At the outbreak of the war he was
imprisoned in Fort McHenry and
finally paroled, He was a man of
plain education, but an original and
vigorous writer. He published one
book, "Oae Religion, Many Creeds,”
for his own gratification. He is re
puted to be worth several million

principles, for workingmen. One

estimated to be worth, from twenty

State of Louisiana, !•
New Orleans, April 10, 1877. )
To the Hmi. Charles ]!. Laurence,
Joseph R. Hawley. Jno. M. Harlan,
Jno, C. ltrown, Wayne Mac Veigh :
Gentlemen-I have the honor to
transmit herewith a copy of the joint
resolutions adoptod by the General
Assembly of the State of Louisiana.
Iu so doing, I desire to say that they
are not merely abstract ideas, lint,
the convictions of our people, which
will be practically executed by them,
through their representatives, their
courts and their executive govern
ment. As the Chief Magistrate of
the State, it will be not only
tnv pleasure, but my bounden
duty to give every assistance
in my power leading to that
end. 1 am thoroughly satisfied
that any course of political action
traced ou a more narrow line than
the good of the whole people, re
gardless of color or condition, must
inevitable lend to disaster and ruin.
My views were fully conveyed to the
convention by which I was nominat
ed, and to the people by’whom I was
elected ; and every day’s experience
fortifies me in the belief tnat any
policy founded on these principles
must necessarily result in the at
tainment of the ends for which ail
just governments are established. I
have earnestly sought to obliterate
the color line in politics and consoli
date the people on a basis of equal
rights and common interests, and it
is a source of gratification to be able
to say that this great object is
about to be realized. I do but
speak the sentimehts of the
people when I declare that
their government will secure, first,
a vigorous and efficient enforcement
of the laws, so that alt persons and
property will be fully and equally
protected ; and should occasion re
quire it I will proceed in person
where any disorders may menace the
public peace or the political rights of
any citizen; second, the establish
ment of asystem of publiceducation,
to be supported by equal and uni
form taxes upon property, so that
all, without regard to race or color,
may receive equal advantages there
under; third, the fostering immigra
tiou, in order to hasten the develop
ment of the natural resources of the
State.
Having thus committed our Gov
ernment and people to those great
principles, I desire to add the most
emphatic assurances that the with
drawal of the United States troops to
their barracks, instead of causing
aov disturbance of the peace or any
tendencies to riot or disorder, will be
the source of profound gratification
to our people, and will be accepted
by them as a proof of the confidence
of the President iu their capacity for
orderly self-government. Enjoying,
under the blessing of divine provi
dence, the happiness resulting from
a government based upon liberty and
justice, the people of Louisiana can
not fail to appreciate that their good
fortune is largely due to the magnan
imous policy inaugurated and so con
sistently maintained by the President
of the United States.
I have the honor to be your obedi
ent servant,
Francis T. Nicholls.

A Description of the Telephone.—
As the telephone, the new invention
of Prof. A. Graham Bell, is but little
understood, the following description
and explanation of the instrument
may not be amiss :
The telephone in its present from
consists of a powerful compound,
permanent magnet to the poles of
which are attached ordinary tele
graphic coils of insulated wire. In
front of the poles, surrounded by
these coils of wire, is placed a dia
phragm of iron. A mouthpiece to
converge the sound upon this dia
phragm substantially completes the
arrangement. Tito motion of steel
or iron in front, of the poles of a mag
net creates a current of electricity in
coils surrounding the poles of the
magnet, and the duration of this cur
rent of electricity coincides with the
duration of the motion of the steel
or iron moved or vibrated in the
proximity of the magnet. When the
human voice causes the diaphragm
to vibrate, electrical undulations are
induced in the coils environing the
magnets precisely analagous to the
undulations of the air produced bv
that voice. These coils are connected
with the line wire, which may be of
any length, provided the insulation
bo good. The undulations which
are induced in these coils travel the
line wire, and passing through the
coils of au instrument of precisely
similar construction at the distant
station, are again resolved into air
undulations by the diaphragm of this
instrument.
In England they have n law making
vaccination compulsory, but the authori
ties have groat difficulty in enforcing it.
The ignorant object to it for various reas
ons. and many, it is said, look upon it in
the light of a religious ceremony. It is
not unfrequently confounded with confir
mation. Not long ago, says the Fall
Mall Gazette, a cook in the country de
clined to ho re vaccinated at the request of
her mistress, alleging as a reason that she
was not a member of the Church of Eng
land.
“Mrs. l’arr, of this village,” says a Wis
