The conusant Commission.

4aS SOuuSaut COMMISSION.
New Orleans, April 1O.--The COM
mission this morning received a delega-
tion of about thirty colored men. rep
senting all the learned professions, be-
ing merchants, brokers and planters.
Col. James Lewis, the commander of a
colored regiment during the war, head
ed the delegation. Addresses were
made by Rev. Mr.. Bryant, T. NJ. Ches-
ter, Mr.. Astwood and T. D. Sucker,
all very able addresses. In general
they portrayed the struggles and hard
ships of their race, and the necessity Of
protection. They asked the national
government to assist in vesting the
title of governor in Packard, to be the
equal of the title of President Hayes,
but they intimated that if Nichols was
ultimately to become governor, they
would like to be heard upon the mat
ter, not for the purpose of trading, but
for guarantees of the future of their
race. They impressed the commission
as able and faithful men.
McVeigh, Harlan, Hawley and Judge
Lawrence responded.
A delegation next appeared headed
by ex-Gov. Baker, formerly military
governor Of Louisiana, who, with sew
eral others, presented statements and
opinions. -
A similar volunteer committee fol-
lowed, composed of old Union men of
the state.
Six gentlemen came next, represent
ing the judicial districts of the state,
amongst them Judges Marks and Par
dee, and gave their opinions concerning
the allegiance in their several districts
to the Packard government, and the
ability of Packard to maintain himself.
Mayor Pillsbury and five of the city
council came before the commission,
offering the courtesies of the city, and
presenting many verbal and written
statements Concerning the condition of
the city government.
The commission have addressed a
communication to the committees Of
each legislative body, asking them to
furnish map of the state showing the
various judicial districts, with COM
pact statement relative to the alleged
disturbance vr the Kellogg-Packard su-
preme court, and the creation of court
in place thereof by Nichols; also, a
statement in relation to judges-how
many Republicans and how many Dem
ocrats-which governor he recognized,
and his acts of recognition; also, with
regard to police juries, who correspond
in each parish to selectmen or county
commissioners in northern states. Sim
liar statements were requested with re-
gsrd to other officers; also, as to the
control of various state institutions;
also, as to the vote of the state, divided
according to color and to party; also,
statements as to taxes collected by
either of the state governments since
its organization, and the disbursements
that have been made, and any other
facts which may tend to show the ac-
tual control of the state.

To His Ercellency D. II Chamberlaim,
Governor:
SIR-Recurring to the views several
ly expressed by us during personal
conference which we had the honor to
have with you yesterday, in regard to
political complications which have
grown out of the late canvass in this
state, we beg leave to apprise you form
ally Of the conclusions we have ereached,
after mature deliberation and the
gravest reflection which we have been
able to bestow upon the subject.
Whilst we are no less inspired with ad-
miration for the dignified and resolute
manner in which you consistently main-
tained your claims to the gubernatorial
chair by virtue of the election held in
November last, than we are solemnly
impressed with the validity of your
title to the Office, we are unanimous in
the belief that to prolong the contest in
the absence Of that moral aid to which
we feel ourselves and our party justly
entitled at the hands of the national
administration, installed in large
measure through the same agencies
which are held to be insufficient for our
maintenance, will be to incur the res
possibility Of keeping alive partisan
pre1udices which are In the last degree
detrimental to the best interests of the

A Temperance Crusade.

New York, April 1O.-The court Of
appeals having rendered a decision
that the board of excise cannot legally
grant license to persons other than
keepers Of inns or hotels to sell spiritu-
GUS liquors and wines to be drank on
the premises of those licensed, James
Gibney, liquor dealer selling liquor
under the license board excise, was to-
day fined by Judge Sutherland one dol
lar. The punishment was made light
because the dealer was not aware that
he was violating the law. This created
intense excitement among liquor deal
ers, and District Attorney Phelps had
a consultation with the police commits
sioners on the subject. Meanwhile the
temperance people are taking advan-
tage of the situation, and have organ
lied temperance crusade, with Oliver
Cutler at the head, for the wholesale
arrest of liquor dealers, should the po-
lice not take action in the matter.

vitude. Is this doctrine ever before
heard of in our history If it shall pre-
vail its consequences will not long be
confined to South Carolina or Louisi-
ana. BY the action of the President
no court Of this state has Jurisdiction
to pass upon the title to my office; no
lawful legislature can be convened ex-
cept upon my call. If the use of these
powers promised ultimate success to
our cause, should not shrink from any
sacrifices which might confront me. 1t is
cause in which, by the light of rea-
son and conscience, man might well
lay down his life; but to my mind my
present responsibility involves the con-
sideration Of the effect of my action
upon those whose representative 1 am.
l have hitherto been willing to ask you
Republicans of South Carolina to risk
all the dangers and endure all the hard
ships until relief should come from the
government of the United States. That
relief will never come. I cannot ask
you to follow me further. In my judg-
ment can no longer serve you by fur
ther resistance to impending calamity.
With gratitude to God for the measure
of endurance with which he has hith-
erto inspired me, with gratitude to u
for your boundless confidence in
me, with profound admiration for
your matchless fidelity to the
cause in which we have struggled,
1 now announce to you and to the
people of the state that shall no longer
actively assert my right to the office of
governor of South Carolina. The mo-
tives and purposes of the President of
the United States in the policy which
compels me to pursue my present
course are unquestionably hon.
orable and patriotic. l devoutly
pray that events may vindicate the
wisdom of his action, and that peace,
justice, freedom and prosperity may
hereafter be the portion of every citi-
zen of South Carolina.

cipitating physical conflict that could
have but one result to our defenceless
constituency. We cannot afford to
contribute, however indirectly, to such
a catastrophe, even in advocacy of what
we know to be our rights. We are
agreed, therefore, in counselling you to
discontinue the struggle for the occu-

of the national administration,
