Especial 10 N. o. Democrat. I

WASHINGTON, Feb. co. The President
to-day assured Cavanae and Burke that
he would not interfere Ia louisa mo-
affairs except to keep the peace, an d
then not In the shape OF formal recog-
milton of either Of the contestants for
Governor. His position was exac tly
that which has been repeatedly stated
Lii these dispatches, so that there is no
necessity for u reiteration of 1t. He
remarked to-day tnat Gov. Mich oils
seemed to be carrying out his agree
ment to maintain the status quo In good
faith. He also spoke kindly Of the be-
havior Of the people of Louisiana un-
der their manifold difficulties. This
may bio regarded as conclusive that
EAckard will not be recognized by
President Grant under any circum-
stances, and there is not a particle OF
danger that he will be recognized by
Hayes.
Grandma Taft, the Attorney General,
racked his powerful mind to-day over
the case OF Dom Piatt and reached the
determination to order the District
Attorney to frame an indictment against
that great hum orist for treason, seditio n
and conspiracy with himself, to incite
insurrection against the Government.
The District Attorney declined TO oct
without written order from Taft. The
order was forthcoming and the indict.
ment was framed, but the Grand Jury
not being haunted by the fears which
harass the venerable soul OF Grand
mother Taft, postponed consideration
OF the oase. The whole affair seems q
hugh joke, Of which Grandma Taft !.
the victim.
The old woman is row living on lighI
diet of valerian and hydrate OF chloral,

the Ebbett House has been detailed tc
protect her from assassination. The
effect OF the affair thus far has been tx
enormously increase the demand for the
Capital newspaper and that will prob
ably be the end OF 1t. BUELL..

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.--A prominent
New York Democrat has just informed
your correspondent that Mr.. Tilden,
although very guarded In his express
sions, IL averse to the policy Of delay,
and believes that the appeal of the
Democratic party from the Tribunal to
the country should be taken tn anothe r
form. lie intimated that some time in
May Mr.. Tilden would test the Supreme
Court, on the question OF juris-
dietion In the matter OF u quo
aearranto directed to Hayes, In
order to put the entire court upon
record as the five judges on the Tribu-
nal have been. III the court decides to
take jurisdiction, tho next step will be
proceeding to cite Hayes to show
cause why he should not vacate the
presidential Office, which, Ii sustained
by the court, would open case for the
introduction of evidence; in short, to
take an appeal from the Tribunal to
the full bench Of the court. This ap-
peal will involve construction by the
court OF the electoral vote, and will
raise the question whether the decision
to exclude evidence was In proper con.
struction OF the bill itself and OF the con.
stitution. The case In any or ell OF its
stages will place the question OF sus.
tanning or reversing the action Of the
Tribunal fairly before the full bench OF
the Supreme Court. BUELL..

Especial to the n. o. Democrat

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Kellogg is
really q pitiable object here. in these
days. He goes about the streets dejec-
ted and downeast, with defeat newt
able, and with bankruptcy staring him
in the face. He is absolutely without
friends In either party, for since the
President snubbed him so numerically
even his fellow cagpet-baggers who are
still In power pass him by. on the other
side of the street. He will be able to
pay his hotel bills, but would probably
have to walk home, IL he had any home
to walk to-. His way is the way OF the
francressor. BUELL..

SENATOR JONES, OF NEVADA.
Had he any assurance that this
American Cr9sus would enter into the
scheme? Mr.. Pilsbury said he thought
SO from the conversation he had had
with Mr.. MCMILLAN, Senator Jones
engineer and agent. Senator Jones
had lots OF money and was doubtless
ready to invest it profitably wherever
he found an opportunity to do so. Be-
sides, the bill provided that the capital
stock OF the company could be increased
one million dollars II necessary, which
would give the company, together with
the original capital and the realization
on the two millions of dollars of bond,
q capital Of five millions of dollars.
During the interview Mr.. Pilsbury
said also that such of the Waterworks
bondholders who may have converted
their bonds into premium bonds would
| be permitted to subscribe to the capital
stock to the extent OF
THE BONDS CONVERTED.
Judging from the expressions OF the
Mayor he has no definite assurances
from any person or persona that they
will enter into the new corporation
but he has made the bill as attractive
as he could possibly make 1t, In order
that it might be availed OF by capitalists
as early as possible.

hundred thousand dollars, it Is pro.
