Now, IL our interviews with the various parties

Mrs. Gaines, il we understand her right, enter

anxious to avoid the extreme measure OF pro-

property holders. In other words, she is en-
tirely disposed to effect o compromise, through
which the costly and always uncertain discussions
in judicial halls would be ended and everybody
satisfied, rs much as human nature will permit

at all adverse to anything that would be fair

THE HIGH JOINTS.

Not q mouse stirred in Commission circles
Thursday morning, and the members lounged
about awaiting the action OF the Packard gang
and the receipt of an answer from the President
to the cypher dispatch Of last hight. In an in
terview Gov Brown stated that he was sat
isfed the Commission would leave for home
very soon, aad that the prospects are that an
adjustment of the whole question will take place
within twenty. four hours, and then the troops
will be withdrawn. The staunchest Radicals now
admit their case to be without hope, and look
forward to tho end with that stoldity the pagan
exhibits awaiting the Gar OF Juggernaut.
LAST NIGHT THE RESPONSE
to the dispatch to the President was received,
ard IL simply acknowledged the receipt Of that
sent by the Commission. The telegram for
warded from here announced to the President
that there vas now an undisputed quorum in the
Nichols Legislature, and that solution OF the
present difficulties was at hand, and also giving o
full description Of the present status.
The qualification on the part Of the gentlemen
OF the Commission, when they were abe to an
nounce the end OF their labors, can be appre-
ciated by those who have witnessed their close
application since their visit here. The members
Of the Com mission feel that in q great measure
their labors arc ended, and the drawing up Of
their final report IL all that is left. This doca-
ment Is already in course Of preparation, and will
in day or two BIO ready. 1t

except few deluded men who see no hope else
where.
T. was pleasant to see the graiifed air OF tho
gentlemen OF tho Commission over this easy solu-
ton Of the problem, and their glee was not in
the least disguised. An elephant has been taken
out Of their circus, and the curtain can now drop
without damage to the programme.
The rush from the Packard House, although
not unlocked for, was so precipitate that even
the Commission were somewhat startled at its
immensely, and hence they more fully enjoy the
vacation they get from their unpleasant duties.
To use phrase more terse than elegant, "the
jig Ia up" at the st. Louis Hotel, and the Com
mission fully appreciate it and do not hesitate to
say that they are not sorry the question is set
tied.
Gov. Brown, in an interview with The DEMO-
Graf reporter, said that the Commission had re-
ceived from the President dispatch acknowledge
Ing the receipt Of theirs stating the position of
affairs here. He expressed himself as satisfied
that the lsbors Of the Commission were about
closed by the action Of the members OF the Pack
ard crowd yesterday.

A CRAZY MANS DEED.

HE ESCAPES FROM CUSTODY AND DRowNs IN THE
NEW BASIN.
Joseph Msssich, an insane man, committed
suicide at o'clock last evening by jumping into
the New B .sin at the head Of Basin street. The
body was recovered about an hour after
verdict in accordance with the facts.
Some Of the friends Of the deceased stated to q
DEMOCRAT reporter that Messich had been up to
two mon his ago in the city insane asylum, when
he was tsken out by his family.
They always watched him closely to prevent
harm from overtskine him, but yesterday he
somehow or other evaded their vigilance, and
took to the New Basin, as above stated.

squeezed and the Unsaueezed.

It was near the hour of midnight when soil
tary jaunting car might nave been seen, drawn
by two white horses, travelling iakeward The
occupants of the car were in the best of spirits,
and well they might have been, for never before
in the history Of aan was such versatility Of
talent thrown together in such small vehicle.
The prince of comedians, the heavy villain,
the queen Of soubrettes, combined with emo
ii nal talent, were all there. The lake was
reached at last. Jokes were cracked and cham
payne popped, songs were sung, and al for q
time went merry as marriage bell.
But all dreams have their awakening and so
did this pleasure party come to grief, for when
the time came TO return to the city, 10! the gentle
horses had skipped sway.
The CONSERVATION Of the party can be better
imagined than described.
The distance from the lake is variously estim-
ated at from six TO ten miles-forced walkers say
ten.

GEORGE DIURY ON THE SITUATION.
The young member from Assumption, who
took his seat in tho House yesterday, IL philoso-
pher. George says, earnestly. that he hated to
leave bis fir ends in such fix, but he had heard
and seen enough from the Commission to satisfy
him as to the course he was 10 pureue He was
willing to stand firm by his comrades as long as
IL WAS reasonable, but to have protrscted the
fight would have been heroism, and he had no
ambition to be called hero.

more Of the members Of the Legislature will
present Themselves Mt Odd Fellows Hall and
take their seats in the Legislature. As to the
election Of United States Senator there iB little

THE CLOSING SCENES.
Packard Makes A Farewell Tail

About noon Packard entered the caucus ant
gave the boys long talk. He spoke Of the ne
cessty now, more than at any tims hereto
ore, for the Republican party to be unit in this
State, and he count eled the members to hold to-
gether. II was this Boss last talk, and he was
listened to with much attention.
The decentralization in the Hotel is complete
and nobody knows where anybody stands.
Tie mob around the building seem utterly at s
loss what to do, and they are doing nothing bu
talking over the deserton Of the five members who
LETT The Hotel for Odd Fellows's Hall. Dave
Young's loss they mourn considerably.
The liveliness Of the day was more than ordi
nary. When in the early morning 1t was rumored
that there would probably be, during the day, q
detection from the crowd, there were many NAL
edictions against the suspected parties.
The House, as they call it, was in caucus, and
after Packard had had his say it was considered
the proper thing for all hands to give vent to
their opinions on the situation. Gracien waxed
patriotic in round sentences and polysylabic
words; the grave though zimmerman Walker
threw out golden aphorisms on State craft and
the duty of the boys to stand by Packard, and
then gracefully took his hat and walked up to
the Nichols Legislature.
BUT ABOVE ALL THE SPEECHES
made on the occasion that OF Gen. Mcmillan Ger.
tsinly excelled, and as it contained some homelv
truths it aroused the ire Of the average Packard
patriot. Several times in the caucus during ito
delivery he was interrupted by the groans and
jeers of the faithful, and at time it looked az
if the crowd were going to make an assault on
the speaker. He. however. bulIdozed the gang
into recognition of his rights as master of the
floor and said:
He saw no reason for changing the views ex-
pressed by lin yesterday, but, on the contrary,
evidence multiplied every hour to strengthen the
conviction that the adherents OF the Packard gov
eminent were engaged in q hopeless contest He
in invective against President Hayes, as he was
not the author, in any way responsible for the
endorsements under which their government
was iaborIng. It's overthrow occurred on the
uiuth day of January by revolution, and IL the aid
OF the General Government was improperly with
held. the blame should rest upon President
Grant, not upon President Hayes.
The underlying causes Of It's defeat, however,
are general rather than local; more potent than
welfare of the whole couatry demands the COM
plete and final settlement Of all questions grow
ing out OF the disturbed and disputed govern
ment in this State. The establishment and
maintenance Of one government could only
be accomplished by force which cannot be
obtained. or this be had ample assurance
from those who have authority to speak.

Sentatives 1t the people remaining ~ thus A.
