New ORLEANS, March 1.-At q spe
cial meeting Of the committee Of seven
| ty this evening, the following TesOlu
! tions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of tn
| committee Of seventy, the members 0
| the legislative caucus, who have vOteC
TO accept the Wheeler proposition, d.
not reflect the views aud wishes of thu
vast majority of the Democratic Con
servative people Of the State.
ReSOlCed, That this committee deem
the Wheeler compromise unwise anC
impOlitic, utterly subversive Of the right
ana principles for which we have been
so long cOntending.
RESOLVED, We adjure those members
OF the United States senate who are
friendly to the cause of louisiana to op.
pose by all means in their power the
passage of the iOlnt resolution recogniz.
ing the Kellogg government.
ReSO!Ued, We announce on behalf
Of the Democratic and Conservative
people OF Louisiana our unalterable resO.
luton to continue to oppose the Kellogg
government and to prosecute the Lou
isiana cause before congress and the peo-
pie OF the United States, regardless OF
the action OF those members Of the Con-
servative caucus who have voted 20 ac-
cept the Wheeler compromise.

One of the plans proposed to defeat
the Wheeler compromise is as follows,
and there is danger that it will be execu-
ted within a week, as the Conservatives
who were adjudged elected to the legis-
lature by the returning board have never
taken their seats and been sworn in /:
Pinchbsck's friends propose to admit
to these vacant seats about sixteen Re.
publicans who can be depended upon.
These, with those already in, will make
the requisite twO-thirds necessary to
impeach the governor; then they will
impesch Kellogg and turn him out of
office; and, as Antoine has agreed to
withdraw provided he is given another
place, Hahn is to become governor.
Then Pinchbsck and his friends will
have control Of the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches Of the State govern
ment, and will manage things to suit
themselves. They win not allow the
Wheeler compromise to be carried out
because the men whom they will have
seated will not resign, and they hardly
believe that the President will turn
them out with the troops.
HOw the Arbitration Is 10 Be Carried
Into Effect.
The arbitratiOn-if one is reached -
will be conducted by Messrs. Wheeler,
Hoar, Frye and Marshall, who will act
as individuals, without any sanction
from the house or the full committee.
They will only undertake the aTbitra-
ton after the agreement is signed indi-
by majority of the Couserv-
ative caucus, including all those who
claim seats, and especially those persons
who were thrown out by the returning
board, and who claim to have been
elected. The basis of this arbitration is
the original Wheeler proposition. Only
those who sign the proposition will be
allowed consideration by the arbitrators.
The communication presented by
Messrs. Burke, Zscharie and Leonard
to-day is regarded as of no force by Mr..
Wheeler. He requires the individual
pledges above alluded to be sent to him
Or deposited with Governor kellogg,
over the signatures of the parties inter
ested. before entering upon arbitration.
Mr.. Z4charie, Of the Conservative COM
nittee, presented to-day the letter of ac-
1eptRnce of the Conservative caucus OF
louisiana, to Mr.. Wheeler. 1t is un-
1erstoOd that the whole committee will
remain here after the adjournment of
and will then canvass the re-
turns, which will be forwarded here for
heir inspection and determining
he result, which will be carried to
New Orleans by Mr.. Wheeler, and will
be put into effect under his personal su-
Dervision at the extra session OF the leg
stature. The time at which this session
will take place has not yet been deter
mined, and perhaps may not be fixed
ill afleT the canvass here, as it is not
known how long that operation may Oc-
,upy. The near approach of the end of
he session of congress, and the busy oc-
Of the members of the com nit
ees in that body, has necessitated the
of the canvass till after
Accepts.
Sew Orleans Picayune.l
Let us suppose the Wbeeler-adjust-
nent plan to have been rejected. ct
IS suppose all plans of adjustment to be
'ejected. What follows? No one, we
suppose, would believe that Grant would
withdraw his troops and leave the peo-
Die of Louisiana to settle the question
or themselves. On the contrary, every
)Ody knows that he would maintain the
anne attitude that he assumed two wears
.gO, and to which he has persistently
adhered. For the next two years, there |
ore, Kellogg would remain in authori- |
y, with Radical legislature to support !
him. In 1876 another election would be |
leld under the existing election and reg.
suation laws. The returning board |
process would be put in operation again, |
md Radical State government would |
gain be proclaimed. There would be |
10 power on earth to prevent this re-
ult. The new administration and the |
lew congress would find State govern |
nent in existence resting upon the forms |
4 law; and there would be no constitu- |
ional power TO interfere with it. For I
mother four years, therefore, the Kel- /
ogg government, or a legitimate sue
essor Of the Kellogg govern 1
nent, would be fastened upon us.
Dhe expectation OF congressional inter- |
'entiOn, after another election, to over |
urn an existing State government, is 8 |
re2m which can never be fulfilled. A 4
Democratic administration and q DEM |
cratic congress would refuse TO take q .
curse so fiagrantly vlolative of the /
rinciples and the conditions of the 4
democratic party. Kellogg and Kel-
Dgg's Radical successors would govern .
louisiana for the next six years. Any .
uuggle on our part to escape from this
tyranny would be unavailing. The right .
( revolution even becomes an empty .
hrase when employed in opposition to
be power of the Federal government.
Is practicslremedy it cannot be taken
1to the estimate. To cast majority OF .
otes at the election in 1876 would be
qually barren Of results, 80 long as
Kellogg remains in power, with Grants
syonets to protect him and to support
is acts, and his returning board to ma
ipulate, and fslsity, and vitiate the re-
llt.
t is therefore not only a necessity on
