Wasnixatoy, D, C., Fob, 23.—Tho announce- ment by unquestioned authority to-day that tho Presudent has determined, as soon as tho count- fug ot the Electoral votes Is completed,, to change his policy towards thedual Governmenta in Loulsians, has created great excitement among all classcs of politicians. It fs undoubt- ed that he now intends as soon as Gov. Hayes isofficially declared to be the President-clect to 8o molify the orders to Gen. Augur 88 to re- quire bim no longer to mgintain the statu quo in New Orleans, and to use the .United States troops statloned thero only for the purpose of preventing bloodshed. The resuit of orders of this kind woutd undonbtedly be the immediato surrender of Gov. Packard, * aud tho tpiveraal recognition by the peopls of the State of Gov. Nicholls. Packard and his frienda ad- mit they are powerless to tnalntaln their hold upon the Government of the State A SINOLE 1OUR withont the activo or moral support of the United 8tates troops, and they will probably have the discretion {0 make no ovposition to Gov. Nlchulls whenevor that support s with- drawn. This policy has been determined upon by the President fn opposition to, the sdvico of some members of his Cabinet, but it is under- stood to have the approval of Gov. Hayes' most intimate friends now in this city, and prob- ably, though this Is wot positively known, of QGov. Hayes hfinself, One effect of it will bo to stnplify the Lonisiana question when it comes to be dealt with by the new Ad- nifolstration, Instead of having to decido be- tween two tival Goveruments the new Presi- dent will probably, it such orders are fssued, find only’ one Execulive In actual possession, and the only question for him to declde will be whether ho shall recognize thu Governor de facto or not. The Democrats are VERY MUOH ENCOURAGED by the announcemont of this new polley towarils Loulslana, and will probably show thicic appre- clation of it to-morrow by a more determined stand against tho fillbusters than they Lave yet at ooy time. It {8 not belleved that the sixty or seventy Democratie conspirators who are attempting to defeat the count- fug of the votes will be in any way affected by it. They are not governed by principlo, but are simply striving to place them- sclves fn such refatfons with Gov. Tilden ns to descrve well of his Administration should he ev- er become President. ‘The Republicans aro greatly divided (n rezurd to this new Loulsiana policy, and some of them have already been to the White House to protest agalnst it. The more radical of tucse think that {¢ Qov, Hayes approves it, be stmply throws down the lndder by which ho haa climbed to the Presldency, and It the talk which [s heard in all public places to~ night is any Indlcation of what may bo cxpected, THIE DIVISION 1N TNE REPUBLICAN PARTY over the Southern policy of the new Adminls- tratlon; which has generally been expected ever ‘#ince that policy was announced, has already bes Bun fo show itsell. ‘There fs much gossip In circulation fn regard tothe fature political plans of Gov.
