New ORLEANS, April i2.--I had an inter
view with Packard to-day. and discussed the
situation hero with him at some length. Some
OF our conversation am not at liberty to make
public Mt present. but | am permitted 10 speak
generally OF what was said. 1t must be borne in
mind that yesterday the thrcc out-and-out Re-
publican members of the commission had n
four hours interview with Packard. and that
part of the time Judge Lawrence. the So
called non partisan member OF the commission.
was present; that subsequently the Commits
sioncrs had II short interview with Nichols. and
then had an executive session lasting with brief
Interruptions from early last evening until half
past o'clock this morning. The Commission
ers and Packard are very rctccnt MS to the pur-
port Of thcir interview yesterday. IA the Com
misslonors are about their consultation last
night. therefore am inclined to attach consid
