STATUS QUO IN LoUIsIANA.-It is understood
that Senator Sherman, Representatives Garfield
ard Foster, Mr.. Evarts and Stanley Matthews
called on tho President Saturday and had long
conversation with him in regard to affairs in
step toward recognizing Packard, or in any way
interfere with Nichols government. They
suggested that he submit oil facts in regard 10
the two state governments in Louisiana in special
message to Congress, but TO make no particular
recommendations. They want the whole ques.
ton Left open for tho new administration to desl
with. 1t is understood that similar recommcn-
dations in regard 10 South Carolina will be made
within few days by republican statesmen. The
object OF sll this is TO enable tho southern demo-
Gratis TO submit gracefully and good.naturodly
TO tho decision OF the Electoral Commission by
holding out to them tho hopes that there il to be
new deal under the new administration. Grant
is inclined to follow their advice in regard 10
Louisiana because he has Io particular love for
Packard since he quarrcled with Jim Casey and
refused 10 allow him to come 10 tho United
States Senate. II is doubtful, however, what
his c0ursb will beloward South Carolina Patter-
about their future under Hayes. They nave no
confidence that they will bo protected if the ro-
c5gnition e tho Chamberlain government is
postponed till after the 18th Of March, and honce
arc pushing Grant through CAmeron's influence
