THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
were announced to meet lay at /:
o'clock, at the Gus om House. and it was gen
orally supposed they would meet, but they die
not.
The Kellogg committee assembled at TIL
Custom House, and it is stated that
they determined to comply with Tie
demands Of the McEnery committee SC
far as the registration and the req resentation
on the returning board is concerG ed-that is,
an equal number of registrars to either party,
and each to have two out of the i've on tie
returning boari, and the four thus app tinted
10 select an umpire
They, however, insist on their crowd re-
naming in office until after the election, or
until such time as Congress may act
A message was sent to the McEnery com
mifteet, it is said, letting forth the above, but
the McEnery committee at the time al the
Boston Club, very properly refused to emit, r
tain any verbal communication, and demanded
that ali intercourse be in writing. A note to
this effect was dispatched by the messenger,
but. up TO ;ate hour last evening, there had

no meeting Of the committees.

quiet he succeeded in having u meeting of
the committees, and h dallied and played for
a number OF days, until, as e thought, the
people, in view of the fact that there were
plenty of United States bayonets here, had
settled down sufficiently to accept the situa-
ton, and then he, or rather his committee in
accordance with his instructions, stood on
their dignity ~ aud the conference was
brought to al end
There can be no doubt that Packard was
the prime mover IN the affair, for Kellogg h rs
neither the spirit nor the intellect to conceive
or manage 1t.
There has been no action on the part of the
people TO change Packard's ideas, and this
great solicitude for another conference GER
tainly indicates that adsices have been re-
ceived from Washington, and that their
nature is by no means pleasing satsfac-
tory.
