Later About the COMPROMISE.

New Orleans Times, of Tuesday 9th, 1875.
1t was stated in tho Times Of Tuesday
morning, the Congressional Committee in
Guiding Mr. Marshall, left for Mobile on tho
5 ~. M, train on Tuesday, are to remain
there until evening. when they board the
Pullman car engaged for them. and proceed
to Washington. They were escorted from
the hotel to tho depot by United States
Marshall Packard and several other digni-
tares, rs wei ~ by one or tw" members
of thrs Democratic caucus, and before Icav-
ing the hotel Judge Wheeler was waited
upon by the Committee from the caucus.
aud was handed tho proposed agreement
or propositions decided upon late Monday
night by the caucus. but no formal consil
GRAFTON was had, nor was tho propositions
discussed before Mr.. Wheeler left. What
the basis proposed 10y the caucus is. cannot
he dctinatcly stated ut present, but enough
has leaked ont, however, to justify the
prediction aud statement that tho first
Modification Of tho original terms pr"pos-
eddy Mr.. Wheeler WAS not embodied in
the agreement decided npon Monday night
10 caucus. That modification was t." the
effect that instead Of tho Joint resolution
pied.in. both branches Of the Legislature
not to permit articles of impeachment
against Kellogg. the Democratic members
should give an Individual guarantee writ
ten that no measures would be taken 10y
them having for their object tho over
throw Of the Kellogg Government. and
that, as was the case with the joint rosolu-
tlum proposition, was rejected 10y the Ca,l-
Gus; some ot the members favored it, how
ever, as the only basis that conld be agreed
upon by the Congressional! Committee and
tho Democrats, and in secret aesslOn on
Monday urged its adoption, but no effect.
aud finding that the opposition was strong
against any recognition Of Kellogg, even
though 1t gave them control Of tho Ley is
l:tture, Il few members of the ma jority
ioltcd in tho midnight session on Monday
and voted for the proposition that was re-
terrcd t" Judge Wheeler previous to his
departure. AS that proposition fails to re-
cognize tho legality Of kcllogy's election
it is safe to expect that it will not be
agreed to by the Committee. and they pos
sbly may not submit it to the cnti,e Com
mittee Of seven, upon their arrival at
Washington, though requested to do SO by
the Democrats, who expect to secure the
influence of Phelps and Foster II may be
possible however that the entire committee
will agitatc tho subject before the sub-con-
mittee present their report, though the
prospect for such agitation Is not in the
least flattcring.
We learn from very prominent mem
her of the De,nucratlc cancns that the re
port published in the Times of Tuesday
Morning was correct statement of the H.
nal action on the subject of an Adjustment
From several sources We have ascerta med
that the proposition finally adopted was
almost unanimously agreed to, aud that it
contains ~ full statement of tho position
and demands of the Democratic party as
any fair minded man would regard rs DO
ing necessary; on the other hand, it con
cedrs to the Republicans all they cat, reA-
sonably expect. The vote to appoint q
committee t" prepare tho plan stood &c to
Is, but the vote on the adoption of their re-
port was nearly unanimous
The CAUCUS met at the appointed hour
on Tuesday, and Immediately went into
executive session. and SO remained during
tho residue of their meeting
IL has been given out that. having adop
ted plan of adjustment and submitted it
to the Congressional COMMITTEES, nothing
more remains for them to do on that sub
ject until action of some kind has been
taken by the arbitrating committee.
t!n..er these circumstances it is possible
the caucus will suspend it's sittin.s for the
present.
