THE IouisiMna Complexities.
NEw ORLEANS. April 9.-The commits
sion sat three hours this morning with
closed doors. At I o'clock II received q
delegation Of twenty-five gentlemen. head.
ell by Mr.. Black. President Of the Cotton
Exchange. representing the bankers. mer-
chants and other business men. Tho
commission said 10 them that they had
sought n Government in Louisiana but
could not find IL. They found two Gov
ernors. two Supreme Courts. and an allcg-
ed dual Government In all departments.
but In fact. by acknowledgment Of all par
ties. there Is only one Legislature. though
II meets In two halls. and when that Leg
islature meets In one body IL will BE- the
Government Of tho State Of Louisiana,
and while IL il In session IL will 10 the
only power ia tho State that can secure
Intervention Of the army; and II self.Gov.
eminent Is desired and a withdrawal Of
the army. IL can probably be secured In 4
day. should the public opinion Of the
State compel its Legislature 10 meet IN
one body. There are thirty-thrce Of the
thirty-six Senators and l0i Of the 100 Ilep-
ressntatives whose election is not disputed
by either party. ami the commission urged
that when they assembled ~ such the com
mission could have nothing whatever to
say about IL. The discussion continued
three hours. Tho delegation was not in
clinsI TO accept the suggestion, maintain
ing that Nichols must lie defended ~
Governor 10 the full extent. A delegation
from the Union Club Republican Associa-
ton WAS received and heard. aud COM
mittee from Psckari's Legislature pre-
ssntel statistics, records and briefs. The
commission was In continuous session
nearly nine hours. The members spent
the evening in individual conversations.
Tomorrow the officers Of the city govern.
ment will call and also a delegation Of
leading colorcd men. including profes.
sional men. planters and citizens Of wealth
and business standing.
referring TO the interview between the
commission and Judges Of Nichols
supreme Court, the T's.s, says IL learns
from the very best authority that the visit
Of those Judges was made at the request
Of the commission. and the Judges did not.
nor would they, discuss or argue before
the commission tho question % tho status
or legality Of their court. Various ques-
tons were ~propounded, aud In nswor
thereto the commission learned that the
Supreme Court had, since the 9th Of Jan
uary. passed and rendered decisions In
over two hundred cases, and that their
mandates and orie-s hal been implicitly
observed ia every instance.
A Ti,ib.a, New Orleans special says
About the only effect ~ the commissions
presence Is to hold the two Legislatures
together and increase tho probabilities Of
enough Pa~ckArditss being won over 10
make the Nichols Legislature legal. The
Democratic Legislature will adjourn by
tho end Of tho week II tho commission
gets through. aud will probably elect a
senator ON Thursday.
NEW YORK, April "a Tine. New Or
leans special says: IL Ia now generally
admitted that = compromise Of the Louisi-
n difficulty will he impossible, In spite
% the universal feeling Ia tho contrary.
However. prominent members Of the
Presidents Commission express the hope
that some kind Of an adjustment will be
made. In conversation with your cores
pondsnt to-day. Harlem said, In his opin.
ion. tho chief II not the only difficulty In
the way of q compromise was opposition
to the reorganization 81 the Legislature,
which WAS made by the Democratic candi-
dates for tho United States Senate. All
tho Commissioners are now said 10 lie
united In the demand for reorganization
Of the Legislature on some basis which
will be satisfactory 10 both parties. Brown
10 strongly In favor OF such u plan. and he
Is accused by ultra Democrats here with
having bartsred the interests Of his party
for certain advantages which he hopes tn
obtain for the Texas Pacific scheme. Both
Governors continue TO demand recogni-
ton and support rs the first step toward a
compromise, and II IL safe TO predict that
the President will. within the next two
weeks. be obliged TO take upon himself the
responsibility Of making a settlement.
NEw ORLEANS. April TO- Dispatches
are Encouraging 10 the hope Of an AMIGA
BILE adjustment. since tho Democrats abso.
lutely refuse ID compromise In any way
that will imperil Nichols Democratic a..
pirations 20 the Senate OF the United
States. and oppose q consolidation of the
Legislatures ON the ground that II may
Affect their prospects.

Chamberlain has just issued the follow
ing address ON retiring from tho contest
for the Governorship:
ITO the Republicans Of South Carolina:
By your choice I was made Governor u
this State In 1874. In tho election last

10 to-day clear and perfect. by the recent
decision and action Of the President Of the
United States I find myself unable TO

any prospect Of final success, and I here
by announce to you that I am unwilling to
prolong a struggle which can only bring
further suffering upon those who engage
In IL. Announcing this conclusion IL IL
my duty to say for you that the Ilepub-
licans Of South Carolina entered upon
thoir political struggle for the mainte-
nance Of their political and civil rights. |
