by 63 to II, giving effects to the caucus pro-
ceedings last night, looking to the re-organiza.
ton of the House. The resolution Announces
that Is Republicans are solemnly declared to
legally occupy their seats, and cordially invites
80 other Republicans to come and do the same,
and assert that seven other Republicans will
be admitted subject to contest. 1t provides
further that the organization of the House
shall remain unchanged, and that no contest
shall be made of the seven seats in which
Republicans are seated until the next session.
If this proposition should be accepted by the
Republicans the House. would be composed of
81 Republicans and 62 Democrats.

the Packard House from Caddo said tonight
there was not the slightest probability of the
Republicans accepting this proposition and in
vitation Of the Democrats
The Commission.
Messrs Mcveigh and Hawley of the COM
mission, called on Governor Packard this
asking Governor Packard If he had heard Of
the proposition of the Nichols House. Gov.
ernor Packard said he had seen sonnet hing
about it in the newspapers. The commission
asked Packard what he thought of it, Pack
rangement for the Democrats. They then
asked Packard what he thought as to its ac-
ceptance by himself and party.
Packard replied that he could not answer
that question till he received the proposition.
and asked the Commission if they had it
They replied no. Packard wanted to know IL
abe Commission were prepared to endorse it
favorably. McVeigh replied, no. not exactls
but if 1T reached them they would if requested
transmit it to him.
The Commission are in session tonight and
at p. m. we're in consultation with McMullep.
Leonard, Twitchell and other prominent Re-
publicans
Note-It does not now APPEAR very clearly
that the Commission favors the Nichols House
proposition.
Gen. Hawley's Statement
Gen. Hawley stated tonight that the resolu-
tions of the Nichols House have been sent to
the commission and by them were handed to a
committee of Republicans. Tney were discuss
id at some length by the members of the COM
mission and Republicans present. The Nichols
proposition, as it is called, would probably be &C.
cepted by the Republicans but for the fact
that the Nichols House declines to unseat
three members who we're seated from the third
ward parish, Orleans, and who were not, the
Republicans claim, elected. The resolutions
were handed to the Republicans too late for
action, but they will caucus on them tomorrow.
The commission, it may ae stated, are very
hopeful that an agreement may be made by
the two parties.
