The Lou sinua Arbitration.
Col. Zlcharie, who represents the Con-
of Louisiana III the matter Of
the compromise OF their political diff
-nces with the Republicans, returned 10
this city from New ori this morning, and
will leave for New Orleans tonight. His
presence in New York was to be within call of
the Compromise Committee III case he was
needed.
1t is understood that the basis of the
Wheeler compromise which has been sent to
Gov. Kellogg at New Orleans is about this:
One additional Conservative is seated in the
Senate; the lower house of the Legislature is
by :, majority Of twelve; but
the two houses on io int ballot will be tied on
a party vote; and if the accep ance of the
Wheeler compromise is assumed, it is proba-
BILE, if Pinchback IS not seated, that Con-
sentative will be sent to the Senate.
1t is said of Speaker Hahn that, though
he will vote for Conservative
citl en- OF the State, rather than Join with his
party n elect.ng a Lepublican who is not a
bona fde citizen. His vote would be the de-
Gliding one in the contingency of the two
Houses being evenly divided. 1t may be said
the above is gatLe-ed from careless and gen.
eral conversatiG-.
Col. Zachaio has no exact knowledge of
The result real hed by the arbitration. The
vote on joint ballot will be close Col. Ia
Charlie - hccefr., but the opposition are
positive n tho statement that the Republicans
Wi! have . majority o.a joint ballot.
