Packard's term further, that if this course
we're practicable, it would involve continu,
ance of the race conflicts, social and industrial
disturbances, and business depression which
characterized Kellogg's administration.
A New Orleans dispatch of Monday says
the controversy is practically settled, but two
or three days will be required to arrange de-
tails. The compromise is that the Legisla'
ture will be organized upon pria'a tacie right
to seats. This theoretically leaves the guber-
material question open, but practically inaug.

Nichols Legislature passed, on Monday, a
resolution giving effect to the programme Of
settlement, and will also pass resolutions GOV.
ering the following points: Confidence in and
support of President Hayes, guarantee to &C.

amendments to the constitution, the fullest
protection of the colored people in all the
rights and privileges of person and property,
equal educational advantages, amnesty for
past political offenses, 80 that peace and or.

What Mr.. Stephens Says. ....
- Hon. A. 81. Stephens is yet in WASH
ington, the delicate state of bis health not
permitting him to return to bis home in
Georgia, at the time Congress adjourned. His
health is, however, improving, but he will
not attempt to return home until after the
extra session of Congress, to be called by the
President in June. His views regarding mat
ters vitality affecting the South, given as fol-
lows, are gathered from recent conversation
with Mr.. Walsh, Of the Augusta Chronicle j:
He hopes to be able to take an active part
in the deliberations of the extra session of
Congress. He will advocate government sub
sidy to the Texas Pacific Railroad. He thinks
that it is the grandest project now before the
country, and that it should receive aid from
Congress. The South is especially interested
in the construction of this road, and the whole
country will be benefited by it. It is not q
party, but national measure, and should be
built as work of vital importance to the in:
terest of the whole country. The South will
be materially benefited by it. Mr.. Stephens
thinks that the bill can be 80 framed as to
protect the government from loss. He re-
CARDS the Southern Pacific as one of the
grandest projects now before the country.
Mr.. Stephens speaks hopefully Of the future
of the country. Personally he thinks we'll of
President Hayes. He likes bis record. He
believes that the President will carry out his
policy of peace and good will to the South.
he considers that the solution Of the South
Carolina troubles, which has resulted in the
paci6cation of South Carolina and restoration
Of home rule and good government under
Governor Hampton, will lead to like results
in Louisiana by the recognition of Nichols
government He considers President Hayes
fully committed to this policy, and believes
that he will use all legitimate means in bis
power to carry it into execution, and thus aid
in restoring peace to all sections of the repub.
lie. He considers that President Hayes has
q grand opportunity and that he ought to ele-
vate himself to plane entirely above party,
and by so doing he will inaugurate peace and
prosperity in country already too long dis
tracted and depressed by political excitement
and party bitterness. He thinks that Con.
gress will heartily second President Hayes in
bis efforts to give the South good government.
