NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH H. 1877

Gov. Grover, of Oregon, all Democrats. were
subsequently sworn in. making 12 Democrats.
On the credentials of Kellogg, elected by the
St. Louis Hotel crowd, there was q spirited
debate, the Democrats and the Conservatives
desiring them referred to the Committee on
Elections, and the extreme Radicals, lead by
Blaine and Morton, fighting to have Kellogg
seated at once. Conklipg (Rep.l and .Bayard
(Dem. lead the opposition to the Blaine fOrceP,
and on the final division, triumphed by vote
In his speech on the 9Th, Blaine, speaking on
the reported arrangement for the recognition
Of Hampton and Nioholls by the new adminis-
tration. asked who were the men who were
doing the whisperings and plottings in the
corridors. Speaking of the arrangement he
said: without being authorized to speak
for the Administration that now exists, / deny
it on the simply broad gronnd that it is an i'm
possibility that tho Administration of Presi-
dent Hayes could do IL. I deny it on the
broad ground that President Hayes possesses
ism, all of which he has in o high measure and
in an equal degree.
Answering on the 7th, Mr.. Bayard recapi.u-
lated the events of the past eight years, and
quoted Grants recent order in the Louisiana
case as showing that even he had finally
learned that the policy Of force had been Q
failure. He also quoted from Hayes inaugural
in regard to Southern affairs, and commended
his views as wise. Concluding, he said that
the peace of Louisiana was the peace of all,
and her destruction was the destruction of all.
ne argued 6nAC the recognition OF Lne TAcKarO
Government end the foroible overthrow OF. the
Nioholls Government would not only shock the
very souls of the people OF Louisiana, bot
would cause a thrill IN every bosom in this
land.
Mr.. Blaine replied and read o dispatch from
Chamberlain of South Carolina stating that he
had received q letter from Stanley Matthews
endorsed by Evarts, asking him to yield his
rights for the good of the country. "These
are the men," said Blaine, who have been do
ing the whisperiugs in the corridors" is
there Senator on this foor," he continued,
who desires to stand sponsor for that dis
patch, or for the policy it coversf Is there
any Senator here who proposes to abandon the
remnant that is left of the Republican party,
that it shall go down for the public good, as
Mr.. Stanley Matthews puts itH do not pro-
pose, either at the beck of Mr.. Stanley Mat
thews or Mr.. Evarts, 70 say that the public
good requires that the brave men who have
borne the flag and bruut of the battle in the
Southern States against prosecutions unpsral-
leled in this country shall retire for the pub
lie good. do not propose it; am here to do
battle with any one, in my humble way, who
espouses that policy. I lay that gage down
for any Senator who stands sponser to the sug-
gestiopB of Mr.. Stanley Matthews and Mr..
Evarts on the question.
Notwithstanding his violent speech Blaine
was defeated as above stated.
There is no doubt that a great split has oc.
Cured in the Radical party in the Senate, the
Extremists being led by Morton and Blaine
against the conciIIatory policy of Hayes. Mr..
Conkling has assumed the leadership of the
more conservative Republicans who favor the
new Administrstion's Southern policy, as fore
sh hadowed by Hayes inaugural, the character
of his cabinet ministers and the sayirgs of his
friends. 1t is understood the Democrats will,
on this basis 6ct with the administration,
thereby giving it an absolute majority of seven
or eight in the Senate.
On the 7th Gen. Gibson had an interview
him that he intended to adhere to his Southern
policy at all hazards; that the country must
be paoiRed and self-government prevail. Gen.
Gibson replied that for every step he took to-
ward the Southern people they would take q
step toward him, and he believed that in such
. policy he would rally to his support the peO.

hoped to make it up at the South.
