To Gen. c. G. -lngWr, .icT OsiedRS:-
1t has been the policy Of the ndminisi-
tration io take no part i'll the settlement
Of the question Of the rightful govern
Incnt Of the State of Louisiana; nt
least. not until the Congressional Com
uIitlec now there have mndc their re-
port; but il is not proper 10 sit quietly
by and see the State Government grad
un!ly taken possession Of by one Of the
claimants for gubcrnatoral honors, by
Illegal means. The Supreme Court set
up by Nichols, can receive no more
recognition than any other equal num-
hcr Of lawyers convened on the call Of
any other citizen. The Returning
Bonrd, existing in accordance with law,
and having judicial as we'll rs minis
tcrinl powers over the count OF the
votes, nnd i'll declaring the re suit Of the
State election, has given certificates OF
election to the Legislature Of the State,
II legal quorum OF each House holding
snrh certificates, met, and declared
Packard Governor. Should there bc n
necessity for the recognition Of either.
il must be Packard. You may furnish
n copy Of this to Packard and Nichols.

PROMISE will probably prove TO he thnt
the Porte will DC asked to accept the
programme, not as something unullcr-
able, but only MS sort Of basis for dis
cuaaion."
