Ms long as he will follow out in
good taith the policy indicated
in his inaugural; if lie will do,
equal justice to all sections in
this country, and see that the
laws are enforced in .Mas-.trim
seifs as in Sent h <'aroliiia. in Lou
isiana as in Ohio; if In' will carry
out in good faith allthe pledges
he lias made, and he a constitu
tional President, recognizing no
party, race or section, so long
will 1 support him.
1 wish to say to you, forget for
Ihe next four years everything
a limit politics; forget that you
are Democrat or Republicans,
and that you are
South Carolinians. Show the
people of the North l#u we have
no proscription in our hearts, that
we welcome him who comes here
as a citizen, no matter what his
politics may he.
When, in August last. I was
nominated as your standard-hear
er, I pledged myself that I should
he the Coventor of the whole
people of South Carolina. 1
pledged myself that 1 would know
no race, no party, no man in the
administration of the laws. 1
pledged myself, and the platform
on which i stood declared, that
every citizen of South Carolina,
white or black, was equal before
the laws, and I solemnly appeal
ed to heaven and declared,should
1 be elected,l would see an equal
.adminisl rat ion of the laws. 1
promised that when I was nomi
nated, and I reiterated those
pledges time and again through
outtin* length and breadth of this
broad land of ours; 1 told the
colored men 1 would fill till these
promises to the letter; that if the
parly which nominated me should
al any time go back on them; if
they attempted to take away any
of the rights now enjoyed by the
colored people they would have
to lint! some other iirslrument.
for before i would sect hat done
! would resign. 1 say again, now
that the power has been placed
in my hands, here where 1 took
life oath of oflice. solemnly swear
ing'that 1 would obey the Con
stitution of the Cnited States and
■of this State; i say once more
that ! intend to carry (ml every
pledge and to be Coventor of the
whole people. 1 here enjoin it
upon you tbpt.Mo reap life fruits
of our victory, you must Observe
the laws* ido not issue--it pro
clamation. Ido not give an or
tier,, but j gsk my irieiqU of:South
Carolina, the people whom 1 have
trusted and who nave trusted me
and done me more honor than
any people ever did a man, 1 ask
ihein to Uarry out my wishes. 1
want every man to constitute
himsclfa eonservatorof the peace
see that there shall be no vio
lence, and go around and tell
his 'neighbors that if there is
bloodshed and violence we shall
lose what we have gained, and to
appeal to them to carry out this
policy of peaef.
The only dillicuity that seemed
to stand in the way at Washing
ton was the fear that when the
troops were taken out of the
State-house t here would be vio
lence. They asked about it. 1
pledged my honor mark me,
my friends—l pledged my honor
that not one single man should
go into that State-house unless
he had business there; Hint I
would place two unarmed men
there simply to inform the citi
zens that I requested them not
to go there, and I 1 elt assured
there would lie no violence or ex
citement and that the laws would
he obeyed. Have I promised too
much for you? (Cries ol **.\ o! ‘ j
Von have trusted toe. Irust me
:t little longer. It is important
for you. It is doubly important
for Louisiana and for the whole
country that you should carry
out tim e promises. 1 requested
that the troops should not he re
moved until 1 got here. When
that order comes let nobody go
tolhat Stale-lionse. Just let it
■stand until 1 w ant it. and 1 will
tell you when 1 want it.
Your destiny is no\v in your
hands. It is for you to shape it
for weal or for woe. Yon can.
by imprudence or violence, undo
tlm labor of months and bring
back tun all the scenes of attar
chv. misrule and con option which
have prevailed, or R you are pru
dent and discreet as yon have
been von can soon place your
selves in ft higher and better
plane, i beg the white men to
how the colored men that what
! have said for twelve years* is
true, yofi fire the la st friend' they
have in this world. 1 appeal to
the injured men to recognize the
’government which is now" firmly
(established, to trust us lorn while.
and, as they are 'till in the ma
jority, if the government 1 have
established does not carry out
the pledges ! have made them,
throw out all the men in office at #
the next tdeclion and put in any
bodv von please.
The ( iovernor concluded with
a fervent appeal to all Smith Car
oliniims, native and foreign horn,
white and black. Democrats and
Republicans, to unite in a grand
effort to restore the State toils
once happy and prosperous con
dition, when she stood the peer
and equal of any State in the
Union.
I.oriSIANA,
KKMOVAI. OK TIIOOI’S.
Executive Mansion. April 20.
Sir: Prior to my entering upon
the duties of the presidency, there
had been stationed by order of
my predecessor, in the immedi
ate vicinity of the building used
as a state house in New Orleans,
Louisiana, and known as the Me
chanics institute*, a detatchment
ot l nited States infantry. Rind
ing them in that place, I have
thought proper to delay a de
cision of the question of their re
moval until 1 could determine
whether the conditions of affairs
is now such, as to either reemire
or justify tlm continued military
intervention of the national gov
ernment in the allairs of the state.
In my opinion there does not now
exist in Louisiana such domestic
violence as is contemplated by
1 lie constitution, as (lie ground
upon which the military' power
of tlx* nalional A>dvernniont may
be invoked for the defence of the
stall*, flu* disputes which ex
ist as to the right of certain claim
ants tothe chief executive office
of that state are to he settled and
determined, not by t he executive
of the United States, but by such
orderly and peaceable methods as
may be provided by tin* constitu
tion and laws ol’thll slate. Hav
ing tlx* assurance that no resort
to violence is contemplated, but
that. on tlie contrary, tlx* disputes
in question tire to be settled by
peaceful methods, under and in
accordance with law, I deem it
proper to take action in accord
ance with the principles an
noiinced when 1 entered upon the
duties of the presidency. You
are therefore directed to see that
t lie proper orders are issued for
the removal of said troops at an
early date from their present po
sition to such regular barracks in
t lie vicinity, as may lie selected
for their occupation.

herewith a copy of a communica
tion Iron) Ihe president of the
United States, in which lie directs
that the detatchment of United
Stales troops now stationed in
the vicinity of the Mechanic’s
institute, in the city of New Or
leans, Louisiana, be withdrawn to
such convenient barracks as may
be selected for their occupation.
You are hereby charged with the
execution of this order and w ill
cause the withdrawal to take
place on Tuesday next, the twen
ty-fourth of April, at 12 o’clock,
meridian. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Gi-;o. W. M< Cuakv,
Secretary of War.
This order will be sent by (Jen.
Sherman to Lieut. Gen Sheridan.
As tlx*Cathedral’clock struck

ultimo, a detachment of the third

Col. .1. R. Rrooke, marched out of
( Cleans hotel, passed up Chari re’s
street to St. Loui- street, out to
the river, where they embarked
on a steamboat for the barracks.
About one hundred men from oth
er regiments assembled on t he op
positc side of the street-in front
of ()rlcans hotel, to see t heir coin
rade- move. When the infantry
hand began to play, a few linn

fix* republican members dropp
ed in to the Nicholl's legislature
one by one. and were sworn in.—
There are now absent from the
house but four republican mem
bars, and from the senate three.
Before taking the oath, ex Gov.
Warmouth said :
*• 1 appear here with a number
of my colleagues, for the pur
pose of taking our seats in the
house. In the caucus of senators
and representatives, a resolution
was adopted that it was useless to
continue the controversy. We
have no apologies. We have been
whipped in the battle, but have
at least preserved our self respect
in an honorable contest, and are
prepared now to offer our alle
giance to the only existing gov
ernment, and to fairly co-operate
in anything which may be sug
gested.”
On tlx* 25th ult. Gov. Packard
and all bis adherents, except one
metropolitan, bad left the State
House, and Col. Bayloii, chief of
police, directed a squad of Ids men
to take possession of the building.
Packard's militia left behind them
about 2,000 st amis of arms belong
ing to the state government.
Gen'l. Nieholls received many
telegrams from points in Louisi
ana, Alabama. Mississippi and
Texas, offering congratulations
over tlie withdrawal of tlx* troops
and indicating great rejoicing a
lining the people.
Packard's parting with his po
lice before lx* left tlx* building on
tlx* night of the 25th, is said to
have been quite an affecting af
fair. lie* made them a speech, in
which he told them that if they
could get any ofllie appropriation
made for them by the Nicholl’s
legislature, to take it. Several of
tlx* most effective members of the
force waited on Packard the next
day at his house and told hint t hey
had been offered positions in the
reorganized force, and they Want
ed his advice whether to accept.
He recommended them to accept.
Gov. Packard, in an address to
the republicans of the state, thus
closes the tight : “Had the gene
ral assembly continued in session
in the state house, 1 should have
deemed it my duty to have assert
ed my government to the last,
notwithstanding the withdrawal
of the troops; hut with the legis
lature disintegrated, and no pros
pect of present success, I cannot
task your tried fidelity by asking
you longer to continue to aid me
in the struggle 1 have thus far
maintained. 1 therefore announce
to you that I am compelled to ab
stain for the present from all ac
tive assertion of my government.
1 waive none of my legal rights,
but yield only to superior force.—
I am not wholly discouraged by
the fact that one by one the re
publican state governments of t lx*
south have been forced to suc
cumb to force or fraud or policy.
Louisiana, the first state rehabili
tated after the war,is the last state
whose government thus falls, and
1 believe it will be among the first
to raise itself again to the plane
of equal and just representation.
1 advise that you maintain your
party organization, and continue
to battle for the rights of citizen
ship and free government. We
strive for these, and not for man
or men. it grieves me beyond
expression that the heroic efforts
you have made, and the cruel suf
fering you have undergone, to
maintain republican principles in
Louisiana, have had this hitter
ending. To those who have so
gallantly stood by me in the long
contest we have passed through,
I tender my heartfelt thunks. To
all I counsel peace, patience, for
titude and a tirm trust that,event
ually, right and justice \yijl pre
vail."
At noon on the 2(>th ult. by a
joint resolution, the legislature
adjourned from Odd Fellows hall
to St, Louis hotel, where they re
assembled ami proceeded with

PRESIDENT HA YES’.SO l’Til
krn roi.icv,
Washinuton. April 15. Pre>i
dent Hayes said yesterday, in 1 lie*
course of conversation, that he
had no concealments regarding
his Southern policy, which, how
ever, had been foreshadowed by
oral and written utterances, and
in this connection he adverted to
the gubernatorial campaign in
Ohio in 1>75. which resulted in
hi- election over Governor Allen,
the people of the State having
full knowledge of his sentiments
on national questions, including,
of course, those which related to
the .South. The opening speech
of a gubernatorial condidate is
generally considered to be the
kev note of the campaign, and in
such a speech, as early as theßlst
of July of that year, at Marion, he
fully and distinctly expressed his
opinions. This speech was pub
lished at length in all the Repub
lican and many other newspapers,
and therefore his views were gen
erally known. In that speech,
after congratulating his fellow
citizens cm the complete triumph
over those who sought to destroy
the Union and the grand results
of llie war. he alluded to the call
ing together again of t#r North
ern and Southern men in the spir
it of harmony and friendship, in
cluding those who had fought a
gainst one another, and, as a
prominent feature in this evi
deuce of good feeling, lie on that
occasion spoke of the kindly man
ner in which Vice President Wil
son was received on his visit to
the South In the era of good
feeling and reconciliation, lie
further said there were still per
sons who talked of bayonets, and
who sought to revive the pre.judi
ces of the past. This was much
to he regretted, hut there was e
nough to till every heart with
gratitude, tlx* house being no
longer divided, and all the in
habitants having a fair start in
the race for lift*. In this and in
all his other speeches he earnestly
condemned the reopening of old
issues between the North and
South,assert ing that tlx* time had
come for complete reconciliation.
The President, in further con
versation, referred to the fact that
the National Republican (Conven
tion which nominated him for
the presidency passed a resolu
tion sacredly pledging the Re
publican party to protect every
citizen of tlx* United States in all
his civil and political rights, and
declaring that the permanent
pacification of the South should
he effected by removing all caus
es of discord. The spirit of this
resolution was in perfect accord
with his own views previously
expressed, and he repeated them
in liis letter of acceptance of the
nomination, and more fully elab
orated them in liis inaugural ad
dress, consistently maintaining
the policy of reconciliation and
local self-government, apart from
military support ; and when lie
entered upon the duties of the
Presidency, he intended that this
policy should not lit* one of senti
ment merely, hut of actual ad
ministration. lie spoke with
emphasis when he said: “M.v
belief is that this course tends to
give good government to tlx*
South; it tends to secure peace
between sections, and between
races and parties at the South,
and it tends to secure the rights,
interests, and safety of the color
ed people; that, therefore, 1 am
in favor of the policy. I do not
know whether I shall succeed in
carrying it out, because there are
Northern and Southern men who,
in various ways, may possibly
thwart me; but of one thing I am
confident, namely, I think it my
duty to try to carry out the pol
icy, and I am going to do it.’’
The Nevada Legislature,
w hich lias just adjourned, passed
an acl for the punishment of wife
heaters. If provides that one con
victed shall he tied to a post in
some public place, and there re
main exposed to the jeers of the
passers by for a period of several
hours. A placard on the breast
will indicate the offence. Two
chronic wife-heaters arc now mi
der arrest, and the efficacy of tlk*
new law will have a prompt test.
The importance of providing some
humiliating punishment for those
who heat women seems to have
secured more than usual attention
recently. A hill to establish a
whipping post for this class of of
fenders is now before the Missouri
Legislature, and a similar propo
sition has been brought forward in
Illinois, where the pillory post did
once exist as ;t inciin* of punish
meiit. There could he nothing
more humiliating, certainly, hut
it would he scarcely possible even
thus to humiliate a inau who had
descended to tlx* depth of heating
a woman. K.n<'limuje.
