Appeal for the Boss.
There il something extraordinarily ooD,icsl m
the last gasps Of roguery and in the death-ratse ct
kleptomania. Saturday morning strange morttary
sounds stole softly out through the key hale 81
Psrlor p, where the High Joints were at labor
with the Republican committee Of ten. This
committee, composed Of Gen. Wharton, John
Ray. Gen. Nc MILAN and other leaders on the Ut.

the purpose OF making one

for Packard, and TO save the carpet-baggers, If
they could. by breAking mp the proposed plas Of
adjustment on the basis Of the elected Legisla-
ture. In fact, IL was an attempt at bulldosing the
committee, and smscked very much OF Blaine
tactics. The opposition TO the proposed scliene
does not rest with Packard so much 90 IL does
with his cohorts, who feel that IL he is elevated
up the spout there will be no room for then sal
walton left. Il was long time before this 90 M
mittee were received, fer the High joints were
partaking Of their
RATION OF INFORMING CONSULTATION,
and would not BIZ interfsred with. When the
doors we're opened, however, the piteous tale of
Packard was plapNvely told, and relief asked
for the expiring Does.
The Commission had agreed upon the legisis-
tive plan Of settlement however, and 1t ia said the
committee could not shake them. This plan CON
templates Legislature composed OF those who're
naites are inscribed on our rolls, leaving con-
testants out until after the organi 'ation, when
their credentials will be passed upon. This, Ii is
said. IL the iual conclusion arrived at, and IT 1t
fails The Jointers will give up the business az
bad Job.
During The afternoon The Woskipgmen's Com.
mttes WAS admitted, after which the Republican
deleg alton held a long conference. II Ii evident
that yesterday was one of those cpmulously
cloud days that these visiting gentlemen have
expeIi enced since their arrival here. II looked

other factor TO adjust the matter without, IL IL
were possible, their aid During the afternoon
ex.aev. Wsrmoth had an interview and expressed
himself as most positively dissatisfied with the
tenor OF the Commissions talk. He did not
think compromise or adjustment probable, and
went out of the hotel In an irate mood The in

Their closed doors, that lasted during the entire
eve ming, showed that they we're pursuing pas
sve policy, in The hopes that enough Packard
legis lators would go over to Nichols to secure
what they call legal quorum, and thus cut the
aordian knot.
THE ACTION OF THE CAUCUS
last nigbttf the Democrats was awaited with con-
siderable expectancy, even up 30 q late hour.
That propositions, or. 10 put 1t in I" High Joint
terms. 'suggestions," have been made to both
sides In q conversational way, is beyond the per
adventure Of doubt, and the response to these
augg eatiops liz what liz delaying either the de-
parture Of our visitors, or their speedy report to
tbe President. From the present outlook we can
conf IDENTITY look forward to the presence Of the
Jointers at least as long az next Wednesday, for
here are no eigns at present Of anything being |
sooompl ished by them before that time.
One boon the inventive genius Of Prof. Morse |
has handed down to High Joints is the use of his
electric telegraph, and they have no hesitation in
ndug ng in II. During yesterday several dis- |
patches passed over the wires from the members, |
md doubtless before this reach The readers |
rye the President will be fully posted 40 to the |
,itua zion (from A Commission standpont) OF
Iffairs In Louisiana.
To u,e an I'D plantation phrase, the members
lont ''gee" worth a cent. Gov Brown still sticks
,ut for the removal OF the troops Harlan and
Iawley want Packard to creep In somewhere, and
lawrence and Mcveigh want most anything to
ret away from psrlor p.
THE CAUCUS ADJOURNED
Ifter considerable talk II Is rumored and the
prospects are thai something like = solution of
,ur matters IL at hand. II the VIVID whispers
ruly there will be proposition to fuse the Legis
atures, or, that ia. to form Legislature on the
,aeis Of the polling commissioners returns,
Which will give mocratie majority. This, II
. said. will probably meet with the approval II
many aud offer an easy solution Of all our diff
uties.
II now looks like . settlement, or, rather, fa-
rorable report on the above proposition on Mon
lay by the Commission. The Returning Boards
Icton will not be recognized and only the face oil
he election returns will DO taken ~ basis o.
