Counter Propositions.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 20.-In answer to the
proposition submitted by the Republican men,
bers of the Conference Committee, the Demo-
cratic and Conservative members OF the Con-
ference Committee submit as a counter PROPOSE
ton, that they cannot inquire into the alleged
violation OF the agreement by the Con-
| servatives, OF recognize the right of
the Republicans to make said charges
until the Republican members of the Conference
Committee establish as q fact that the agree
ment has been complied with on their part, by
having qualified, as agreed upon, two Conserva-
tive members of the Returoing Board and an
umpire in the Advisory Board fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation OF DR.. Bonzano.

Answer to Counter Proposition.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 20. = In answer to the
| counter proposition submitted by the Democratic
and Conservative Conference Committee, in
answer to the proposition submitted by the Re-
publican Conference Committee, embodying
agreement entered into by the said Commit
tees of Conference, (said third article
being for the enforcement of the first
articIe,) the Republican Committee of Confer.
ence respectfully submit that the counter
proposition presented contemplates violation of
the instructions given by the Republican State
Central Committee to their representatives, as
embodied in the resolutions OF that committee
communicated to the State Central Committee
of the Democratic and Conservative party and
acquiesced in by the latter committee in a reso-
luton adopted and communicated to the Repub-
lcan State Central Committee. Consequently
the counter proposition operates as a cessation
Of any farther deliberations by the Committees
of Conference, for the Republican Committee of
Conference can not act outside of the expressed
determination of both Central Committees.

Reply to Counter Proposition.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 20.--In answer to your re-
ply to our counter proposition, We have only to
state that there is nothing in ths following
resolution of the Democratic Conservative State
Central Committee which conflicts with the &C
ton taken by the Conservative members of the
Conference Committee, as appears by its obvious
tenor:
Resolred, That the Conservative members of
the Conference Committee are hereby authorized
and empowered to renew the Conference in re-
lation to filling the vacancy of Mr.. F. Bonzano,
and other matters suggested by the resolutions
Of the Republican State Central Committee.
