Pledges His Friends i'm the LegiS-
Iature Against 1t.
Grant Disguised.
Throws all the Blame on Packard.
Who Deceived Him.
Packard, the Scapegoat, will Prob
ably Step Down and Out.
Especial to the Bulletin

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Pinchback says he
will not agree to any compromise He has
been left out in the cold and declares the
twenty-five negro votes under his control shall
not accept any compromise.
The President is utterly disguised. He is
in perplexities from which he sees no escape
He says he really thought the Republicans
carried the elections of 1872 and 1874, but on
the return of the late committee Wheeler in
forms him that they certainly did not carry
that of 1874.
He says Packard has been deceivng him
about it, or that, if he knew no better, i.
was his own fault.
Packard telegraphed him the Republicans
had carried the elections, leading to his in
reference.
Packard is responsible for the division Of
the party, has got the President into trouble,
and is a general scapegoat. Probable result
might be that Mr. Packard will step down ant,
out. A. s. H.

IN CAUCUS.
Kellogg Rises to Explain.

After the adjournment last evening the
Crowd went into Caucus, and Kellogg was
called on to tell what he knew about COM
promise, and to explain the part he had taken
in it.
What kellogg's knowledge as impaired
amounted to did not transpire, but it is reli-
ably stated that in explaining what his course
had been, he stated that in all he had done
he acted for himself alone, and that he had
not pretended to represent anybody, or to act
for anybody but himself.
He spoke long and pathetically, and it is
related that some Of the members were moved
to forgiveness, and will be found arrayed
against impeachment
AS to the spirit of the Caucus regarding
compromise it is stated that there was great
opposition, and the indications are that the
resolution offered yesterday unseatng num-
Der Of the men returned elected by the Re
turning Board will be passed to-day.

The People Won't Stand 1t.
The Caucus Can't Bind the People.

The effect on our people of the news that
| the Conservative caucus had accepted the
offer OF compromise, can hardly be appre-
| clated by those absent from the city last
| night. Immediately after the fact became
generally known groups of excited citizens
discussed the matter with much heat on the
streets, and spontaneously, as it were, num-
Der OF our most prominent citizens assembled
at Gov McEnery's headq quarters ON Canal
street to take some action regarding the stu
| alton.
Without any call or notice the gathering OF
these gentlemen was prompted purely by a
feeling Of indignation at the result of this
long pending question. There were present
representatives from almost every profession
and calling, and the almost unanimous senti-
ment freely expressed was, that the acceptance
OF the Wheeler proposition was death blow,
if Endorsed by the people, to the slightest
hope for the regeneration of the State.
After some time spent in general converse
ton, DR.. Warren Erickell was called to the
chair, and secretary appointed. Several
present, in short yet pointed speeches, ex-
pressed their Indignation at the present as
pect of affairs, and denounced the movement
fore gained by the noble and dignified atti-
tude assumed by the people Of thesState in
the present struggle.
After number had expressed their views,
resolution was adopted, calling mass meet
ing for tomorrow friday evening, at Z
o'clock, and the following committees APP
pointed by the Chair

J. Z. Austin, II. N. Ogden, J. d. Hill, L. H.

In this evenings edition we will publish
the call, with the signatures of numerous
citizens who are anxious to give some public
evidence Of their opposition to the indefensi-
BILE action Of men who have exceeded their
authority by acceding to compromise which
is detestable, and (which robs .us ofsevery-
thing.
1t is now evident the people will not stand
by the action of the Caucus, and everywhere
we heard opinions expressed that the mem
bers of the Caucus had iranscended their
duties, and, having acted beyond the scope
Of their powers, the people refuse to confirm
such action. The members were elected to
represent the people as legislators, and for
nothing else, and hence whatever they may
do, not within their duties, their constituents
will not submit to be bound.

NO DISCUSSION on THE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL.
House Committee Recommend the
Rejection of Pinchback and
Seating of Sheridan.
They Have Agreed to Recommend
Lawrence.
Especial to the Bulletin. I

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The prospect OF
any Senatorial discussion of the Civil Rights
bill grows beautifully less.
The House Committee on Elections has
this morning reported rejecting Pinchback
and recognizing Sheridan. They have agreed
to recommend Lawrence, but have made no
report.
There was a long discussion in regard to the
precedence OF topics requiring consideration.
Louisiana, Arkansas and the Caucus bill were
all pressed, then Garfield proposed the Sun
dry and Civil Appropriation bill.
The Radicals voted against this, being
anxious to press Southern affairs, but a ma
jority of one hundred and forty-fve carried
their point, showing that discussion of South
ern matters is detestable topic.
When this bill is finished Poland will pre-
sent his Arkansas resolution, pressing it to
some conclusion.
The Select Committee on Mississippi will
present, and O'Brien will prepare the state
ment of facts.
Hamilton, the Texas Senator, Liberal since
1872, is leaning decidedly toward the Radical
side. Flanagan will soon go out. There will
be no regular Senator. and by skiilful lacking
Hamilton hopes to secure Radical patronage.

A CIVIL RIGHTS CASE.
Verdict for Defendant.

In the Fourth District Court of this city
sometime since, J. Staes filed petition set,
ting forth that he had been refused admit
lance to the Opera House by Mr.. L. Placide
Canonge, on account of having colored blood
in his veins, and he asked the modest sum OF
five hundred dollars to assuage his wounded
feelings.
Yesterday the case came up before Judge
Lynch and jury After considerable testi-
mony had been taken and an elaborate argu-
ment had, the Judge gave to the jury his
charge, reviewing the law bearing on the
case.
The jury, after being out fifteen minutes,
brought in verdict at ten o'clock, last night,
in favor of Mr. Cannonge. Messrs A. and

Sup't Metropolitan Police
Grant as 4 Snowman.

boston Letter, 18th, to the Springfield Ropub-
lican.l
1t may not be generally known that Gen.
Grant has entered into the show business
with Redpaths lyceum bureau Col.
Meacham, who has been travelling as the in
terpreter of the Warm Spring Indians, re-
turned lately to make terms of peace and
specie with the Modocs. Suddenly he tele-
graphs to Redpath that the President will not
allow the Modocs to leave their reservation un-
less he (Redpath) will assume the charge of
them. SO the lively manager is en- route for St
Joseph to undertake the management of the
ferocious tribe, Shack Nasty Jim and all.
l have not ascertained how the division of
receipts will be determined, but Mr. Redpath
and the President will not quarrel, N sure,
and Redpath can afford to be generous with
his new partner. 1t is rather difficult to place
Col. Meachams position among the Indians.
He goes first over the country as Snowman
and interpreter with the Warm Spring In
dams, then he goes over to the enemy, with
whom his scalp was once regarded as SO val
liable, and endeavors to act as their interpre-
ter also. He seems to have lost his vindictive-
ness, surely, and one hardly knows whether
to praise or blame him.

THE CAN-CAN SUPPRESSED.
1t is Stopped by the Police.

1t will be seen by the following that the
police authorities have arrived at the con-
clusion that the can-can performances at the
Globe Theater ought to be suppressed, and
that steps have been taken to that end.
The subjoined order was transmitted to the
managers Of the said place Of amusement
last night, and conforming to the advice given
Billy Pastor Co., curtailei the show by
emitting the Objectionable dance. The
variety performances were given, but on this
alone the troupe will hardly be able to make
expenses. Hence, a speedy departure for
other fields Of harvest may be expected.
Last night the management announced be-
fore the opening of the performances that the
above orders had been received, and in con-
sequence there would be no dance, where
upon fully one-third of the audience departed,
and demanded the refunding of their admis-
sion money 1t was readily given them and
they sought some other place of amusement
The following is Superintendent Badgers
order:
New ORLEANS, Feb. "a, 1875.
Messrs. Levett & Pastor, Globe Theater, New
Orleans, La:
Gentlemen-W Whereas. the can-can perform
ances or dance, nightly exhibited at the

be of an indecent and immoral character, and
IN violation of article No. 66l, Revised City
Laws and Ordinances of 1870, l. therefore,
under authority conferred by sections 2274
and 2275, Revised Statutes Of Louisiana of
1870, hereby notify and direct you to cease
such can-can performances or dances. Unless
this notification is Immediately complied with
measures will be taken to summary close
your exhibition by the police.

POLITICAL ON DIT.

Few who were not present in the city yes
terday afternoon can appreciate the effect Of
the news that compromise had been accepted
by the Caucus. At first the fact was received
with incredulous sm es, but when the truth
became known, loud and deep were the ex-
pressions of Indignation at this termination
OF our long battle against fraud and corrup-
ton. In the rotunda last night there was a
large crowd assembled, and the compromise
and the proposed impeachment of Kellogg
were the principal topics of the hour.
How much truth there is in the new move
ment on the part Of the old allies of Pitt, in
the impeachment matter, may be judged by
an incident which occurred early yesterday
afternoon, in Johns Restaurant. Tom An
derson, addressing a gentleman connected
with the Conservative ranks. said: You II
have to get another Governor to com
promise with before night, Mr.. -" which
plainly indicates that this scheme has been
on foot for some time, and was generally
known in their ranks.
The Caucus Proceedings.
1t is stated and there would seem to be con-
siderable ground for the statement, that all
the secret proceedings of the Conservative
caucuses will be given to the public within
forty-eight hours. AS the people have all
along expressed great desire to know what
their Representatives were doing, even at this
late day the proceedings will be read with
interest. Our citizens want to know exactly
what prompted the acceptance of the compro-
mise, for it has been limited by members that
the whole truth concerning many of the
reasons for passing it. had never reached the
public ear.
That Dispatch.
1t was so frequently reported that dispatch
was received from Gordon, Lamar and Blaine.
advising the people of this State to agree to
the proposed compromise, we made inquiries
last night and learned that no such dispatch
had been received here from them. What
was received and read to the caucus was
telegram from Messrs. Burke, Zacharie and
Leonard, stating that Messrs. Marshall,
Lamar, Gordon, Potter Blaine, Phelps and
Foster advised the committee in Washington
to state they were in favor of acceptance
The Radical Howl.
1t blew great guns at the ST. Louis Hotel
last night, and no colored camp meeting
could compare with the crowd for high pres
sure excitement over the situation. kellogg
was traitor and had been bought was open
ly expressed, and some more bold than others
intimated that he knew all about the transac
ton. 1t was laughable to witness the amount
OF virtuous indignation over the compromise
and Pitt was severely handled.
There was gathering of all the big wigs of
the party and the pow-wow was kept up until
quite late. Pitt was on hand soothing the
fiery passions of the mob.

ALABAMA.
The Majority and Minority Reports
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1875.

WAsHISGToN, Feb. 90, 1875.
The Congressional Committee which went
to Alabama to Investigate the condition Of
affairs in that State, make two reports. The
ma jority report is signed by Messrs. Coburn,
Albright and Cannon. They believe that but
for the timely interference of the Admins
tration in Louisiana revolution would have
been precipitated on the people of Alabama.
The committee further report that members
of the Republican party were subjected to a.
series of indignities and such maltreatment
has heretofore been witnessed only in say
age warfare. The principal object, or point
however, of the Democracy seemed to be to-
crush out the white leaders, and to this end q
new feature of American politics, namely
social and business ostracism, was introduced.
The committee declare that the Democratic
victory in the State was won by fraud, VIC
lence, prescription, intimidation and murder
The law officers were in league with law
breakers and the courts of Justice were power
less to make arrests, and the Governor had no
militia to aid unwilling officers
The committee say our only regret is that
there were not more United States soldiers in
the State than there were for the purpose of
aiding III the enforcement Of the law. The
report then treats of ballot-box stuffing and
burning Of ballot-boxes, which was INDUCED
IN, and gives a full review Of the riots at
Mobile, Eufaula, Spring Hill, Portland,
Gainesville, and other places.
The opinion IS expressed by the Commit
tee that had a full, fair and free election taken
place the entire Republican State ticket, with
ma ority of members Of the General Assem-
bly,, and six out Of eight Republican Congress-
men would have been elected, and they re-
commend the passage Of the "Force bill .
The minority Of the Congressional Com
mittee made very long report. They begin
by protesting against the indecent haste with
which the investigation was conducted, but
say the evidence taken by the committee
establishes that Alabama was as peaceful.
