NEW ELECTIONS ADvoCAIED-MR. CONKLiNG AD-
vIsEs HARMONIOUS ACTION AT WASHINGTON.

NEW ELECTIONS ADVOCA1ED-MR. CONKLING AD-
vIsEs HARMONIOUS ACTION AT WASHINGTON.
By TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON March 13.-The idea of a new cleo
tion in South Carolina and Louisiana finds induen-
tial support among the Republicans. MIR. Blaine
favors it among Others Those who advocate it
recommend that the new elections shall be for State
officers and members of the Legislature only; that
the troops now i'll those States shall remain until
after the elections have been held, and that the
candidates chosen shall be recognized by the Ma
tonal Administration, after which the troops shall
be removed The principal objection to this plan is
that il will keep matters unsettled in those States
for several months while peace and quiet are more
needed there than in almost any other portion OF
the Union. Besides this, public sentiment has now
become so fixed, and especially in South Carolina,
and the Republican party is so much demoraized,
that the result of the new elections could be pre-
dicted with great certainty. Hampton and Nichols
would undoubtedly carry their States and elect a
majority of each of the Legislatures.
Senator Conking remarked, in the course of a con-
versation day two ago. that he thought the ac-
ton of the Senate and that of the President III re-
gard to affairs in South Carolina and Louisiana
should be harmonious, and that neither Mr. Kellogg
nor Mr. Corbn ought to be admitted unless Presi-
dent Hayes intended to recognize Packard and
Administration as desiring to have both of the
claimants admitted to the Senate, and that i'll ac-
cordance with this wish Mr.. Morton believes he
can get the votes of majority of the Senator's Mr
Conkng's information on this point is undoubtedly
erroneous. The President has probably given no in
timatiOn of desire to have the Senate solve the
Southern question of-hand by the admission of
Kellogg and Corbn If he has any preference III the
matter he will probably keep il to himself. There is
no reason to believe that he will attempt to exert
any influence whatever over the Senate in connoc-
ton with this question.
A dispatch from New Orleans reports that several
davs ago "A letter was received by Packard from
Stanley Matthews, conveying proposition similar
to that sent by the same author to Chamberlain in
South Carolina. A dispatch from Packard states he
will decline to make any reply, for the reason that
Mr. Matthews, in his argument before the Tribunal,
conceded his Packards right to the executive chair,
and also because Mr.. Matthews is only private in
dIvidual, and has not been commissioned by either
the Administration any party to make such
propOsitiOn.

GERERAT DESIRE TO AVOID ONE II POSSIBLE.
lDY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The question of an extra
session of Congress Will without doubt be deter
mined before the close of the present week. con-
ference of few leading members of Congress of
both parties will be held in day two to consider
the subject and make recommendation to the
President the purpose being to ascertain if there is
any course which will avoid the necessity OF the
extra session, and which will at the same time be
thought both legal and udicious by representative
men of the Administration and opposition parties.
Apparently the question has no longer any partisan
bearing. Democrats as well as Republicans seem to
be equally averse to Congress meeting again Ill
Nav or June. Some of the Democrats think
they will have better chance to organize the House
then than at the beginning of the regular session III
December but Others believe that there would be
nothing gained by an early meeting. The theory of
the latter class is that in the first flush of enthusiasm
over the new Southern policy the Administration
would be more likely to succeed i'll placing the
organization under control of its friends than it
would be next Winter, when the Democrats have
had time to recover from their Generalization, and
when the difficulties in the way of carrying out the
Presidents ideas will be sure to make themselves
felt.

a Queer Marriage.

A singular case is likely to soon reach
the courts A prominent lawyer says
that in all his reading and practice he
has never seen any thing quite so pecu-
liar. The names of the parties, who are
well connected, viii not be given until
the case is more fairly public property
by being brought before the proper le-
cal tribunal. The circumstances are as
follows: 1ra lf @
A well-to-dO bachelor died Is years
ago and left so acres of land and consid-
cradle money to boy who was near
relative. Time passed and the boy be-
came of age. The estate was settled,
anda portion of the property remained
in well paying mortgages. The young
man became enamored of young lady
cousin, and their marriage was looked
upon with favor by the young mans
mother, the aunt of the girl. Indeed
the mother was so willing that she un-
dertook to perform the ceremony of
uniting in marriage the young people.
She acted the ministerial part by caus-
ing an exchange of rings, a solemn kiss,
and pronouncing her boy and his girl
cousin man and wife. The young man
soon tired of his rather singularly made
bride and left her, A child was born
to the wife, and she now proposes to
sue for divorce and her rightful share of
the large property; also the amount she
thinks due the child. The young man,
of course, claims that the marriage was
illegal, etc. ~
It is said that the case will come up
for trial soon, and that it will create ga
stir" in large circle of respectable peo-
Pile. The developments win be waited
for witha good deal of curiosity.-Mf1-
