Judge Campbell and Others OF the subcommittee
OF the Louisiana delegation had conference with
the Judges OF the Court and gave their reasons Why
they desired Associate Justice Bradley to proceed
to New Orleans to review the general proceedings
OF Judge Durell. Judge Bradley, instead Of going
thther on his own vollton, preferred that the re-
quest to DO SO should come from his colleagues
who took the matter under Amusement.
1t was subsequently ascertaned the Judges camo
to the conclusion that it now remains with Asso-'
ciate Justice Bradley himself to decide whether he
will go to New Orleans for the purpose already
stated !,
After leaving the Supreme Court this morning

The New York Programme Changed.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. 1872.
The New Orleans delegation at meeting tonight
reconsidered the resolution adopted this morning
to visit New York in body, to present theirz
grievances to the merchants OF that city 1t Is
determined to leave Judge Campbell to prepare am
address to the American people, and for this pur!
pose the Judge, accompanied by two members Of
the subcommittee LETT for Baltimore this evening,
where he will remain until the task is finished.
The address will give clear and succinct history
OF the troubles, the efforts put forth by
the administration to hold the balance of power in
the State and the proceedings before the United
States Courts, bringing the history down to date.
1t will repudiate political application and directly
claim to be the expression OF the citizens OF Louis
lana, irrespective OF party. 1t Is understood to-
night that the request OF the delegation to have
Justice Bradley visit New Orleans and hear tha
now pending before Judge Durell VIII not be-
acceded to, as under the circumstances to comply
with the committees request would, 1t is said1
virtually impugn the correctness Of Judge Durella
proceedings.
