CITY AFFAIRS.
THE HIGH JOINTS.
They Entertain Some Delegations and a
Protocol to bs offered.

Yesterday could not be called field day for
the Commission in fact, one looking OF their
labors yesterday could not but think Ii WAS very
small pasture day, much less field one. After
= long consultation, lasting considerable time,
four Of the members visited Paoksrd's hotel.
where they heard for tho second time his tale OF
woe aud the fearful recitation OF the old dog
gsrel,
4 AM NOT MAD,
but soon shall be. After the consultation had
been "done,r the High Joints repaired to the 81.
Charles, where Pinohback, with o colored COM
mittee, awaited them. Pinch made speech; 80
did his companions, and between them oil con-
siderable time was consumed, After Pinoh's
crowd had Left q de egation Of
PAoKARD's SCHOOL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
dropped in and enlightened the Alabama claims
commission on school statistics and other twad-
die, necessary perhaps to elucidate the fact that
Packard Ia cO0ped mp In hotel and can't govern
the State worth cent.
1t Is unfortunate TO be public man, and IL is
simply doom TO Big High joint. They have to
listen ell day to the story OF Packards popularity
| spoken in the African dialect, aud then at night
receive without murmur the narratives Of the
power and influence OF the B0Hs-inside the hotel.
After hearing the two delegations above re-
ferred to, the Commission adjournsd to dinner
and Imperial champagne. When there was
call during the evening OF shoots and saddles
| and line was formed, IL was discovered that
Gov. Brown had fallen out OF line, but before the
| Adjatant had time 10 recognize the absence the
| Governor put in an appearance. Closed doors
were then in order. and the eandiae were ex-
/ cluded.
Gen. Hawley, however, stated that he had
time enough to talk with newspaper men, and he
would except them. He said that Ii had been
| his land in saying his, he meant the whole Com
missionsl endeavor to bring about o solution of
| this Louisiana question: and that he thought, as
did the Commission. that the nearest way to i was
through the Legislature. He had submit
ted 10 both parties propositions TO fuse the
] Houses of Representatives and let those
acknowledged TO be the legally elected, decide
the rest Of the contest, but this had been refused
/ He didn't think the commission would remain
/ In the city much longer than week, and In that
time he hoped something would be effected.
The outlook, 30 far ~ the commission goes, II
unchanged. They will report that they
| COULD NOT EFFECT ANY ADJUSTMENT,
and their visit here was carrying broken jar to
| the well.
| Last evening ii was very generally reported
| PROTOCOL
WAS in course Of preparation by Gems. Hswley
and Harlan, which would be submitted TO both
| IL said, based upon legislative compromise,
| and ia the ulHmatum Of the Commission. II will
| be sent to Gov Nichols and to Packard, and
there. probably. ii will die.
| There can be no denying the fact now, the
Commission recognize their impotency to solve
| our troubles, and they only are anxious to get y
| through train home. They came o fruitless
| errand, and all the buds they will carry home
will never blossom.
