NEW ORLEANS. Sept 23.-At half past
eleven O'Clock last night the committees of con-
ference representing the Central Committees
OF the Republican and Democratic parties,
after having been in constant session for up
wards of seven hours, arrived at a conclusion.
'Fhe agreement is that the Democrats shall do
everything in their power to aid in the main
tenance of law and order and the support OF
the legally constituted authorities. They also
promise that during the approaching cleo
ton they will strive to prevent intimidation
or violence on the part of the party they rep
resent. 1t is further agreed that the Advisory
Board shall consist of five members, two to be
chosen from the Democrats, stwo from the Re-
plblcans, and one non-partizan, who is
nanfed in the person of Dr.. Benzana. Surveyor
General Of the State. The Board of State Can
vassers, about which there has been so much
discussion, it is agreed shall consist OF five
members two Of whom shall be Democrats and
three Republicans. The Democrats tried to
induce the Republicans to promise that they
would not prosecute those engaged in the re-
cent riots. This, however, they positively re-
fused to do. The compromise is signed by the
chairmen of both committees. During the
evening some five hundred members Of the
White League paraded through the streets, but
there was no disturbance.

grexs, early in the approaching session, adopt
resolutiel declaring against a third term for
Gen. Grant, THAT will DO for this staunch
Greeley paper, pitt did it never occur to the
Commercial that there is a power greater than
'Congress-the creator and master Of Congress.
that is, The People. In 1872, Gen. Grant, was
really nominated before the assembling of the
Republican National Convention, by popular
sentiment. The Convention simply formulated
and recorded the command of The PEOPLE
The few spurts which have occurred in several
OF the States against third term,', were
merely the outgvings of personal ambition on
the part of Presidential aspirants. The Poo
pie never passed upon the question. It was
not submitted to them in the appointment of
delegates, and therefore was no reflection of
popular sentiment. It is not necessary TO-.
State Conventions, convened for the selection
OF State candidates, to commit themselves for
or against s'third term" It will be time for
the agitation of that matter when delegates to
the National Convention are to be appointed.
1t certainly would be rather unprecedented
departure for Congress to attempt to forestall
popular sentiment in respect to this matter-a
step that will be Indignantly repudiated and re-
sisted BY popilarimp,lse. Nothing could con-
tribute more to general uprising OF the free
men OF this country than an officious inter
meddlitfg with their rights and privileges by
congress-something entirely foreign to its le-
ultimate functions. An attempt of the kind
would force the nomination of Gen. Grant, for
third term" by accanation.
