The New Louisiana Compromise.
E.bruury. u Il In
basis of new proposition for the com.
promise of the Louisiana difficulties
what Lieutenant Governor Penn and
other prominent Lousianans, have come
to Washington, to effect, and which will
be presented to the President on Monday
next, is substantially as follows:
The Conservatives object to the Con.
gressional Committee assuming juri.dic-
ton: concerning the election of 1872 and
1874, they were separate and entirely dIi.
fcrent; it is agreed that the members ofthc
Legislature of 1874 can give pledges
aud guarantees the most ample and
positive for our future action, and the
people will assent to leave Kellogg
alone, obey the laws, and accord the
dc II. 10 government recognition a. long
~ the President sustaiLs the Kellogg
party in office. If, on the other hand,
the Conservatives cannot get the result,
oflS74. or so much n the Congressional
Committee decide they are legally en-
titled to, they will not admit the legality
of the Kellogg election, nor will they
consent to express doubts as
to what they believe the legal
results of 1872. but as this
question has perplexed the President and
Congress, and both the executive and the
legislative branches of the government
hesitates to act upon it, it l. not just to
expect the Conservative members of the
Louisiana State Legislature to scttl" it.
The Conservatives further claim that
they should not be required to recognize
the illegal Hahn House organization
and thus endorse or acquiesce in the acts
of the 4th of January. As further act
of good faith, the Conservatives agree not
to press the Wilt organization upon the
Republicans, but are willing that neither
should be insisted upon and let the
members declared by the arbitration re-
organize the House.
The Louisiana Congressional delega-
ticn, with the exception Of Senator
West. have approved of the proposed
compromise.
