very much in fear of rain, which would nearly
destroy the road in many places.

the Grand Trunk road adopted manifest, pre-

them along. But the Island Pond authorities
in violation of the United States law of 1864,
now stop these sealed cars and break the

THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE NEGOTIA
TlQNS

40 CONCLUSIONS YET ARRIVED AT-THE TERMS OF
THE VARIOUS PRoPOsrTIoNs-THE CoNsERyA-
TIYEs NOT DISCOURAGED. .-..
TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUHEl
WASHINGTON, Fob. 1s.-The negotiations for
compromise between the Conservatives and Repub-
licans Of Louisiana have been continued during the
past few days. and although no conclusions have
been arrived at the representatives of the Conserva-
tive Caucus now in Washington by no means
discouraged. The main points of difference be-
tween the plan Of compromise proposed by MIR.
Wheeler and that proposed by the Conservatives
seem not to be generally understood. The Wheeler
proposition begins with the words, Whereas 1t Is
desirable to adjust the difficulties growing out OF
the general election in this State in 1872. &C." The
Conservatives object to submitting the question OF
the election of 1872 to the Committee for arbitration.
Thgt question has been submitted to Congress and
the coutry, aud they desire that it shall be settled
by Congress- 1t Is matter which the Conservatives
think they have o right to settle. They,
therefore insist that this question shall
not be included in the adjustment. Secondly, the
Conservatives object to the recognition of the Hahn
Legislature, proposed by the Wheeler compromise
The terms Of that proposition are that all con-
tcsants for seats in the Legislature shall submit
their claims to the Congressional Committee and
those who are declared to be elected shall attend
the sittngs of the Hahn House and abide by the re-
port of its Committee of Elections. The Conserya-
tves ask that tho House of Representative be organ
lied de moro on the basis Of the Committees
| award. The Wheeler proposition de-
clare that: Whereas, doubts have existed
still exist as to the legal results of the election in
this State in the month of November, 1872, &c"
The Conservatives cay that they have never had
any doubts as to the legal results of that cleo
ton, and therefore cannot agree to any such
declaration. They are willing to agree
not to disturb Kellogg because of his past political
acts as long as he is sustained by the President but
wish it distinctly understood that they do not
approve or recognize the legality of the Kellogg
