Packard and Hayes.
Extract from tne N. o. Times. Anril 5th.l


Pronainent Republicans said yester-
day thAt Mr.. Packard had about made
up hislAanind as to the course which he
would pursue. He will not consent to
Sany compromise which does not insure
success to his ,geEernment. He will
consent to no plan for the reOrganiza-
ton Of tlie legislature which does n1
give majority to the Republicans.
If the commission falls to propose
any plan of adjustment acceptable to
both parties, and the president with
draws the troops from the city, Mr..
Packard's friends say that he viii make
an issue and force the president to take
sides in the matter. 1t seems, from all
that couid be learned, that Mr.. Packard
is determined that the president shall
not shirk the responsibility of acting in
the Louisiana case.
He is reported as saying that as the
president accepted without hesitation
the electoral votes of Louisiana, the
issue shall be presented to him which
will require him to say, by his action,
whether ornot he considers that he was
entitled to those votes.
SOME OF THE REPUBLICANS,
yesterday, went so far as to say that
the probabilities are that the returning
board would never have returned the
Republican National and State ticket as
elected, if it had not been for Mr..
Hayes friends, and that Packard would
have been left out anyway if he had
not really run ahead of the Hayes
electors.
Of course, under such circumstance
bitter at seeing Hayes and his friends
oId nd n f9
places, while they are still out in the
cold with fair prospect of remaining
there.
Said a colored member of the legisla-
ture yesterday: "The cOlored mem
bers of the legislature held caucus
last night, and agreed that if Hayes
went back on them and there was a
reorganization of the legislature to
vote for the most bitter Democrat in
the State for United States Senator"
Fernando Wood is said to have in his
possession an agreement IN writing
signed by thirty-tive Democrats, who
pledged themselves to vote for Hayes.
HANGS of Philadelphia member Of the
House, from whom Ingersoll received
this information. Fernando Wood was
the originator of the agreement, and
through his influence the signatures
were obtained. He never wanted Tilden
to be president.-[N. Y. Graphic.
A good deal of mysterious talk is afoat
about an agreement Of the character al
luded to. If anybody has such thing,
it will be interesting reading. The
people would like to know whose names
are attached to the document. IT the
Hon. Charles O'Neil (whO is supposed to
House referred to] will rise up and ex-
plain, he will immensely oblige an in
quiring public mind and aid in conserv-
ing the truth of history. VIII Mr.. o.
