WASHINGTON, July >. - Some Democratic

L II bills are d.sposa Il Of until September or O'Ojc. IN
s,ca of q final adjournment Tlov fear thI The Admin
3rltion incnlt, b; the use oi troops or otLcrWf' u
carry the elections in Mississippi and Louisiana They
think that It Congress should b. in Washington during
hr campaign tie House might axe such action ~ would
prevent tue repetition Of tie force policy pursued IN
former years 1t is well known here that many of the
leading Democrats are looking with more anxiety to the
South than 10 New-YCri, Connecticut or Ncw-Jersey,
where IL is peculiarly supposed tie great con
tcsis of the canvass viii take place Lead
ing Democrats from Mississippi, who attended
the 81. Louis Convention, dill not conceal
their opinion that few companies OF troops sent to ttat
during the months OF september ana October would
moi only greatly the 4r0es as to cause
them to the polls in jul force. but would 80 dis
courage some Of the white voters to make them stay
away from the election The result Of this would proba-
b!y be that the Republicans woald carry the State.
Whether the presence Of the Democratic House in wash
would prevent the President from pursuing the
policy adopted in Alabama IN 81! and which Gov. Ames
requested him 10 repeat in mississippi last year. or not,
H. an open question.
Tie Nomination OF Marshal Packard by the Re
publican State Convention o. Loui5ana to he Gov
cIuOr OF that state WAS Tire result, it il under
stood, Of q compromise between Pinchback, War
moth and Packard, which effected after the
Convention met. The original plot ~ arranged by
Mr. Pinchback ana his friends, contemplated the nom
nation Warmo;h te govnrnorshp. with the under
standing Pnchblck should be elected to TIC United
senate ia the ulacc West whose OF Office expire
on the ith Of March next and that Wlrn0th sho.ld
also come 10 the Senate for the short term to I'LL the va
Cauay w.rh cXiss. By TIL arrangement Mr. Pack
ard and GOV. Kellogg, between whom AMI Pinc.back
III sndcrstnEding had arisen, were to be ignored en-
tEcy. When tic Convention mt Nj Pinchback was
found TO have control OF it, i able to organize
in such u way To make 1t carry out
his plan. Subsequently understanding
was rcocled by which Mr.. Pa',ard was
admitted 10 the Ring, and Warnoth surrendered his
clam to a .orual candidacy in tnc sat, sill retaining
his prospective hold on tie short term IN the United
states nate. Tic result Of his combination is
that Packard works in accord with PnchDack and
WarInoh, instead OF being opposed 10 them The turn
which things have taken Louisiana considerable
uuct-iur-s among Democrats here. Marshal Packard
and Cos Kellogg were IN Washington several weeks ago,
