Packard Advised TO Retire.
The joint caucus of Republican members of
the legislature have adopted an address to
Packard in which they say: "Whlst abating
none of our belief in the rightfullness of your
title we cannot but feel that forces which neith-
er you nor ourselves are able to resist render it
impossible to enforce your gifts at the pres
ent time. We therefore are respectfully con-
strained to advise that for the time being you
refrain from actively asserting your unques-
tionable rights, trusting to the future to vim
dictate the righteousness of your cause"
A Letter TO the President.
A number of other Republicans of Louisiana
in letter to the President say that they deem
it their duty to assure him that although they
hoped and expected a different result in the
Louisiana question, they are satisfied he acted
for what in his Judgment was promotive of the
best motives of the whole country.
