After some explanation from and at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Ray, the resolution Of
MI: Ladd was called up. 1t provides for
q '~'harmonizing committee" of five. It
having been ruled out MI. Ray offered
another of the same import.
Mr.. Garrett said Grant did not as Con-
gress when the war was over to appoint .
committee Of conference with the defeated
rebels. (Applause.) He wanted MI.
Pinchback to disband his committee and
come into the ranks Of the Republican
party:
Mr. Shines, of St. Landry, was surprised
to see that most Of the opponents to Mr..
Rays proposed committee were white men.
(Applause.) The old committee had failed
for six months to harmonic, and unless
it was done the colored men are in daar<

Mr.. Packard said if, in the judgment
of the Convention, the committee had not
done its duty, it ought to be discharged.
of ':no"! mo-" *.no!') Mr.. Pack
ard reviewed the history Of tho bolt last
and asked if it wal possible to
hold out the olive branch to men who
spurned it," (Applause.) The commit 1
tee had warred upon Warmoth alone. (Ap-
It was not possible in doing SO 8
to separate him from those who supported a
him. Warmoth had made a most 'tliberal" :,
offer to Mr.. Packard in the White House.
It was to form a new committee of ten u
members from each, with Mr.. Packard for
chairman, but even that was only to q
abandon the organization to Warmoth's -
Warmoth has only just now de- /
iberately walked off from the Republican n,
hip, and the present is the first opportu- u
1ity that has offered itself to conciliate II
lis followers. The colored men who had d

nony is therefore in<fuu view and the OBJ =

Ices is about to beattained. While Pinch ]
