DIVERS DISPATCHES.
ALL QUIET.

NEW ORLEANS, March l2-Gov Pack
ard remains constantly at the state house
attending to such business ~ CONES before
him He stated TO-DAY to . reporter, that
he had ~ full confidence a. ever in the
final success Of his goverpment, bus, -
added: II am annoyed at the persistence
With which the most giaring misstatementa
are repeated, even By journals usually veil
informed. For instance, il seems TO b
widely believed that my claims u the Of
fee Of Governor of HOulsi ana, Q hasxd en-
| tirrly upon the decision Of the returning
board, and that the Constitution Al provis-
| Ion requiring a canvass of votes by the gen.
, eral assembly has not been str,c " com.
piled with in this respecf, and that there
| were less than quorum Of senators pres
ent when that canv ass was made. This il
NOT THE FACT,
~ on the second day Of the session, Janu-
airy 2ud, the General Assembly met in joinl
| convention with IS Representatives and q
! senat'rs present, made a canvass and de
clareL the result. A quorum of the house
! is sixty one, and of the se' ate nine,. en-
OF the sixty-eight representatives pr~rent
| all were returned by the returning toxrd
! and Of the twenty zone senators nineteen
we're 20 returned, and two q. aied on con
| test Thus il will be seen that there was
| an undoubted quorum of the members Of
each branch OF the legislature present, and
participating in the canvass, whose names
appeared on the rolls of the Secretary Of
State Is entitled to participate in the Origi-
nal organization. The impression that
there vas not quorum present, has probs-
bly, ari-en from the fact tina, five OF the sena-
tors present when the VOTES were counted for
governor and when Kellogg was elected
srsstor were subsequently induced to
Withdraw, and OF those, two have since
returned. Referring to President Hayes'
Southern policy, Gov. PACKS ard said: Il do
not understand that the President sacri-
iced any principle or that there vas an
and Of tue Republican party in the South.
! do not understand it to be his desire to
force the colored people from the Republic
eau party. On the other hand, l under
stand that he will sustain, under the con-
stitution and laws Of the Usited States,
and will suppress instruction and domes-
tic violence. l understand him as wishing
to avoid the constant use of troops in the
Southern states at elections and as police
force for the states.
THE FOUNDATION
for this desirable state Of affairs has been
laid here already. 1t has been my desire
TO facilitate entrance into the Republican
party Of the old line wings and conserva-
tive, and during the past canvass my eff
fOIts in that direction we're crowned with
gratifying success. All of that class OF
accessions, which number among them
come of the best OF native white citizens of
the state, are firm supporters OF my govern
ment- Our temporary difficulties had the
effect of relieving US of the worst element
Of the party. shall endeavor to aid Pres
ident Hayes in his Southern policy BY ed-
ministering the government of Louisiapa
honestly and economically, and in the in
serest OF tie whole people.
WHITE AND BLACK.
shall endeavOr to have some Of the de-
faulting office holders sent to the peniten-
tiary and rome murderer hung. This
state is in q condition now which admits Of
q division on other than color lines. The
Republican party will lose Piuchback and
small following Of colored men, who will
60 to the Democratic party. On the other
hand, the Republicans will gain largely
from the Conservatives and old line Wings
Ii, however, the revolutionary Nichols
party, representing the extreme Democratic
element, were to succeed in suppressiDg the
lawful state government, the color line
may be expected to be drawn tighter than
ever. and the persecution Of colOred men
continue in Mississippi, Texas, and other
Republican states which have been stolen
ny the white league, or until the last vest
aye oil Republicanism has been stamped
out.
