Special to the Star;
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-There is a
great deal OF talk ON all sides, but not
SO much excitement as represented. In
spite of all that has been said, the mod
crate Democrats are largely In the ma
jority and their counsels will prevail.
Nothing could now prevent this except
the recognition of the Packard Govern
ment by the President. This would
drive large number OF conservative
Southern men to the ranks of the North
ern tiIlibusterers and might give them a
majority. But just now there seems
little probability of this, as the deter
mnation in Administration circles ap-
pears to be to take no further action
with regard TO Louisiana.
,nne announcement that the President
Yesterday had a talk with authorized
friends OF Gov. Hayes, who explained
that the policy OF the Hayes administra.
tion would be one of justice and fair
ness to the South, greatly strengthens
the conservative element of the Democ-
racy, In this talk it is said the Presi-
dent fully agreed with the proposed pol
icy OF Gov. Hayes, and frankly admitte d
that the Kellogg Government had been a
dead weight to his own administration.
The following is the Cincinnati dis
patch received by Sayler and Banning
during the Democratic caucus Saturday
might:
"CINCINNATI, Feb. II, 1877.

Judge Hoadly will make his fight in
the . egon case almost alone, SO far as
the hope of success is concerned. He
still believes that he will able to present
such case that the Commission will
not be able 10 order the count OF the~full
vote Of Oregon.
what the Herald Says To-day.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2J.-Tne Herald edi-
torially rebukes the Democrats in Cor.
gress for delaying the counting OF the
votes, and thus preventing necessary
legis iatiOn. 1t says the action oi
the House in taking recess,
although ill-judged and disgusting, is
strictly within the limits OF the law.
Should the Democrats prevent the
cnoice of President by taking re.
cesses it would be an egregious act OF
bad laitb, involving the suicide Of the
Democratic party. The Herald does not
believe the Democrats will have re-
course to this desperate expedient,
for it would turn the whole business
of tile community against them, cover
the party with the odium of bad faith,
and insure the Republicans an easy VIC
tory In new appeal 10 the people. 1t
calls attention TO the necessity tor act
ing on the appropriation bills. 1t says
the Louisiana case Should have
been settled Saturday, and The Demo-
Gratis are responsible for waste of time.
They have gained nothing by the
foolish aud blundering double recess Of
Saturday and Monday, and necessary
legis alton suffers. Had the Democrats
acted in the spirit of the law the Presl-
Dental election might have been official
