NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 10. = The
Evening Democrat, referring to the
probability of Gov. Packard's at
tempting to regain the courts and
stations, says Packard, however. is
playing a dangerous game. The
patience of this people is well-nigh
exhausted; and if they are forced
into conflict which is calculated
and designed to again rob them of
the government Of their choice and
the blessings of an honest and eff
cient administration, they will be
difficult to restrain; and we, for one,
hope no hand will be ableto restrain
it. If Packard forces this conflict,
we appeal to our friends to spare, as
far as final and complete victory will
permit. the lives of metropolitans
and negro dupes. We advise them
to let the full wrath of their ven
geance fall upon the leaders of this
iniquitous, murderous and most
damnable scheme, and follow Pack
ard into his hotel, and, if need be,
into the custom-house itself, and
hang him from the highest window.
The committee considered the East
Feliciana case, but found nothing
startling. The Senate subcommittee
took West Feliciana and the House
committee heard general testimony
as to the correctness of Sherman's
report. Gov. Kellogg testified at
some length concerning supervisors
and their appointments. He declar-
ed that Morgan had perjured him
self in his testimony concerning con-
versatious between witness, Ander-
son, and himself ,and gave descrip-
tion of Morgan showing him in the
light of an adventurer and black
mailer.
The Worlds New Orleans special
says that Pinchback to-day received
kilograms from Chandler and Nor
ton asking him and his friends to
retrace their steps. He answered
that he could not do so; and, when
! they should learn the reason for his
course, they would justify him. To-
night he is in conference with the
Republicans of the Senate commit
tee, who are much distressed by
what has taken place. Wadleigh
and Oglesby did not sign the tele-
gram asking for the recognition Of
the Packard government. They
say, if the Legislature will pass a
Joint resolution not to interfere with
the re-canvass of the electoral vote.
they will join in the application for
the recognition of the Nichols gov
ernment. A resolution to that ef-
feet will be introduced tomorrow.
Pitkin left for Washington two days
ago, with affidavits manufactured at
the State House and some samples
of custom house affidavits taken be-
fore the Senate committee. Casey
left last night in pursuit of Pitkin,
with the object of circumventing
him at Washington.
It is ascertained that four more
Senators and members of the House
will come into the legal Legislature
tomorrow. Great efforts are max.
ing here to prevent a re-canvass Of
the electoral vote.
The Times Washington special
says President Grant has no doubt
as to the legality of the Packard
government; he thinks it cannot be
questioned.
