From the Chicago Tribune 25th,
A Fair Proposition.

The telegraph brings the information
that the Conservative members of the Lou
isiana legislature have adopted following
resolution:
ResoI0ed, By this house caucus, composed of Cor
servative members returned by the returning board
and those claiming to have been undoubtedly elec-
ted but defrauded by the board, That, desiring in
the interest of our afflicted state to have solution
of the political troubles, and relying the ntegri
ty and fairness of the four gentlemen members of
the congressional committee now in New Orleans
and in advance of any investigation their part
we. body. hereby ask them, if the task is not
considered to onerous, to take the returns of 1874
together with all fair and relevant testimony, and
npon snch returns and evidence declare what mem
| bers of the legislature were fairly elected.
This is proposition to refer the action
of the returning board, whose alleged fraud
ulent returns were the origin of the later
! troubles in Louisiana, to Messrs Hoar,
Frye, Wheeler, and Marshall, all of them
Republicans except the last. The propo-
| sition coming from Conservatives. and di-
rect Q to these gentlemen,is is peculiarly fair !;
for the committee now in New Orleans con-
sists not only of three Republicans to one
Democrat, but these three Republicans
have gone to New Orleans expressly be-
cause they were not satisfied with the find
ings of their Republican associates, Messrs.
Foster and Phelps, who composed the ma.
jority of the subcommittee which
recently made its report.
The Conservative members of the house
show, by the proposition they have just
| submitted, their implicit confidence that
this fact is so clear and unmistakable that
the new committee must also find it to be
so, utterly irrespective of their political
bias or preference The propo-
sition is for compromise ona basis which
il entirely fair. and it certainly ought not
under the circumstances, to find any objec.
tions from the Republican side of the
house. If it is fact that majority Of
Democrats were fairly elected to the legis
ature and defrauded out of their places
by irregular or fraudulent procedure by
the returning board, no Republican, con
sstently with the principles of the cause
, can desire that the fraud be sanctioned
; and perpetuated. IF the Con
servatives of the Louisiana Legislature
: are willing to abide by the decision o
three Republican and one Democratic
member of congress, Republicans canno
reasonably object In fact, an objection
on their part would be confession tina
E they are cogni2ant of icregularity or fraud
or were willing to perpetuate one.
