Nichols to be Recognized Mt Once.
New ORLEANS. Anril l.

NEW vs. April ID.
The proposition to admit all the
elected members to the Nichols Legis-
lature is the leading subject of discus
sion. The conservatives think this
-wili he the basis Of a settlement. All
the contestants have agreed 10 stand
aside if the Republicans consent to
take their seats in Odd Fellows Hall.
The question of submitting "a proposal
to this effect will be finally settled by
the conservatives caucus Tomorrow.
There seems to be no doubt but that
this proposition will be made. The
Commission will remain here for some
days.
NEW YORK, April Is.
A Tribune New Orleans special says
the Louisiana controversy is practically
settled, but il NAV take two or three
days more to arrange all the details and
bring the plan Into full operation. This
is the scheme of a reorganization of the
Legislature, to which shall be admitted
all members with prima facia claims to
seats, according to Parish returns,
throwing aside the action of the Return
ing Board as unconstitutional. The
Legislature, thus rectified, is to meet in
ODD Fellows Hail and go on with the
business as a continuation OF the Mich
OILS Legislature. Theoretically the
question as to who is the legal Govern
or will be open, but "a the new Legis-
lature will have a majority of conserva-
tives, this is Of no practical importance.
Nichols will be recognized at one.
President Hayes Puts His Foot
Down He VIII stick TO His
Southern Policy i'm spite Of OPP
rUsitiOM.
WASHINGTON. April Is.
President Hayes yesterday said, in
the course of a conversation, that he
had no concealment regarding his
Southern policy, which, however, had
been foreshadowed in oral ana write u
u~tterances, and in this connection he
adverted to the ~gubernatorial earn
paign in Ohio in 1875. which resulted
in his election over Governor Allen,
the people of the State having a full
knowledge of his sentiments on nation
al questions, including, of course, those
which related to the South. On the
3lst of July, 1875, at Marion, he freely
and distinctly expressed his opinions.
This speech was published at length
in the newspapers, and therefore his
views were generally known. In that
speech, after corgratulating his fellow
citizens on the complete triumph over
those who sought to destroy the Union
and the grand results of the war, he
alluded to the coming together again
of Northern and Southern men in a
spirit of harmony and friendship, in
Guiding those who had fought against
one another. AS a prominent feature in
this evidence ofgood feeling, he on that
occasion spoke of the kindly manner
in which Vice President Wilson was
received on his visit to the South. In
this era OF good feeling and reconcilia-
ton, he said, there were still persons
who talked of bayonets and who
sought to revive the %prejudices OF the
past. This was much to be regretted,
but there was enough to fill every
heart with gratitude, the house being
no longer divided and all inhabitants
having a fair start in the race for life.
In this and in all his other speeches he
earnestly condemned the reopening of
the old issues between the North and
South, assuring thatthe time had come
for a complete reconciliation. The
President in further conversation re-
ferred to the fact that the National Re-
publican Convention which nominated
him for the Presidency, passed the res
~olution sacredly pledging the Repuh-
lican party TO protect every citizen of
the United States in his civil and polit-
zeal rights and declaring that the per-
manent paclfication Of the South
should be effected by removing all
causes OF discord. The spirit of this
resolution was in perfect accord with
his own views previously expressed,
and he repeated them in his letter OF
acceptance of his nomination, and
more fully elaborated them in his in
augural address, consistently main
tanning the policy Of reconciliation and
local self-government apart from mill
tary support; and when he entered
upon the duties OF the Presidency he
intended this policy should not be one
of sentiment merely but of actua! adj
ministration. He said: "My belief is
that this course tends to give a good
government to the South; it tends Ia
secure peace between h sections and
between the races and parties at the
South, and TO secure the rights, inter
ests and safety of the colOred people
therefor Q l am in favor of the policy
l do not know whether l shall succeed
in carrying 1t out, because there are
Northern and Southern men who, In
various ways, may possibly thwarl
me; but of one thing / am confident
namely: l think it my duty to try tt
carry out the policy, and 1 am going
to do it,"
