Hayes Wav of Paying ior His Ofice

| l‘liiiiulol[i!ii:i 1 imi-H.] , it is the plain duty of the president i to {. ixsec'ute the offenders against the j federal laws in the Louisiana election. but when he appoints such a man as j loin Ray to do the work, he lays him-S'-lf open to suspicion of becoming u i party to persecution. Ray was the ! counsel and go-between of the infa- | mutts returning board of 1870, and is ! generally believed to have concocted i a great deal ot.lhe villainy of which ; that body was guilty. He is justly lone of me best hated men in New Orleans, and is the Inst person t wit | would lie selected tor tile honest dis- ■ elmfge of any duty. His appoint- ' mens will antagonize the real friends of law mid order in Louisiana, and yau lead to no good result whatever.
