CONFIRMED.

firmed Senator Morrill's nomination i'm.

ANEW ELECTION.
Senator Blaine, in view OF the possible
ity that the president may not recognize
Packard or Chamberlain, is very ear.
nestly in favor of having, "by consent OF
all parties new election in Louisiana
and South Carolina, and has so expressed
himself to President Hayes.
This, Senator Blaine believes, could
now be had by the common consent of
all political organizations, and could be
conducted in peaceful manner, free
from the ENHANCEMENT of presidential
contest. The result of the election,
whichever party might prevail, would,
Senator Blaine's judgment, bring
ipeace and contentment to those states
more certainly perhaps than any other
mode of adjustment now practicable.
This policy, Blaine thinks, would har-
monte all dement's of the Republican
party, and secure at the same time the
cooperation OF all Democrats in the
South who desire peaceful adjustment
OF existing difficulties on an honorable
basis.
THE KELLOGG CASE.
Senator Morton, chairman of the priv
iieges and elections committee, says that
the majority report OF that committee on
tie Kellogg case, although prepared, will
not not be presented to the senate to-day,
and the views OF the minority cannot, OF
course, be permitted before the majority
report.
The reason for delay is conjectured to
70 that, owing to the absence OF Republic.
AN senators. the Democrats constitute
nearly or quite majority. There is no
other business ready for action by the
senate, which will now have to await
the nomination or other executive busi-
ness. t't
