A Hundred Schemes for Settling
Our Difficulties.
United Against Packard but Di-

Especial to N. o. Democrat. !

WASHINGTON, March 13.-It Is almost
impossible In telegraphing you to steer
clear OF personal complications in view
OF the fact that our friends here are
split into several factions, each advis-
ing a different policy. For ex-
ample, one faction advises commits
sion to visit the South; another advises
against 1t. One advises the immediate
election of Senator, and another de-
lay, and so on.
have told the President that no 40
count was to be taken Of these fights in
his policy toward Louisiana, and that
however bitterly our factions might
quarrel among themselves, they were
as one man against Packard. However.
the President notices these things, and
their effect on his mind is not pleasant.
BUELL..
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-03-14

Everybody around the st. Louis Hotel
had enough to talk about this morning,
and that Qudntnm su6icit was the proba-
bilities Of Kellogg's getting his seat.
Packard was late putting in an appear
ance from his dormitory, and conse-
quentlynot able to say much about pros
poets, but his supporters said it was
close. but sure. The effort made to get
the boys together, so that something
like quorum in the legislative troupe
might be had, seems not to have been
successful, and the two august bodies
fail to enjoy the existence Of that much
sought for commodity.
As everything now looks there will be
status quo In the tax collectors war.
The injunction served from Shaw's court
was delivered by Mr.. LeBreton, one of
the deputies appointed under Bourges,
who Is the appointed sheriff by Pack
ard, but no notice has been taken Of it.
Judge Dibble didn't think that any new
move would be made, and SO it is prob
able the matter will await the settlement
of other questions.

THE CAUCUS.

The caucus Of the Legislature ycster-
day lasted fully an hour and half.
The subject considered was the Sena-
torial election, the debate being very
animated. A large minority were evi-
IDENTIFY in favor of going into an cleo
tion Yesterday, but the majority deter
mined otherwise. Although IL is
claimed that certain candidates have
the lead In the. preference OF
the members of the Assembly, for
the exalted position, 1t cannot be as
sumed with anything like certainty
that such Is the case, for as yet nc. re-
liable canvass of the members has
been made. IL Ia true, however, that
the names OF Hons. II. l.. Gibson, Fl.
NJ. SpofforA and d. T. Jonas are men
toned NEST prominently, but 1t 10 also

strength when the balloting begins In

After a Jislgesaaif,.

It now transpires, according to what
may be called good authority, that Will
liam II. Hunt, Esq, who was defeated
for the office of Attorney General, is
now in Washington not so much for the
purpose of furthering the Packard gov
ernment as to further his own claims on
the party.
Itappears that he Is ambitious to be-
come member Of the Supreme Bench,
and as dispatches received here already
indicate that Louisiana will receive the
position, it looks probable that Mr..
Hunts eyes are cast in that direction.
Last fall, on his return from the North,
be stopped at Washington and had an
interview with Hayes, and that fact,
coupled with his present visit, makes 1t
look most likely that he would like to
be an Associate Justice.
