The Aim and Strain of the Usur-
patton is n Quorum In Both
Branches of the Leg
islature.
With this as Basis, They Hope to be
Apportloned the Executive, United
States Senator and one Branch
of the Legislature.
Nichols Rcucent and Not Averse 60 "a
Thorough Investigator Of His Right
60 the Chair OF state.

New ORLEANS, March 2l.-The
conclusion of the cabinet has given
the Packard usurpation some little
vitality. The aim and strain 10 for a
quorum In both branches OF the
Legislature, and to that end money Is
being freely used to secure the return
of member who have taken seats In
the Nichols Legislature, and rs many
more IA can be influenced by money.
The hope OF the cabal Is that, with u
complete Legislature rs basis, the
cabinet commission will lie able to force
the conservatives to compromise,
secur ing the executive, apoltion OF the
State officers, one Senator and one
branch Of the legislature to the Pack
ard following
The conservatives are surprised at
the result, but determined to stand by
the Nichols government, and should
the commission prove another
Wheeler committee, to force the adj
ministration to enforce the conclusion
OF the commission with the bayonet.
No compromise Ringing on the recog.
milton of Packard will be acc opted by
the people and must result, II persisted
In, in the establishment of military
rule in the State.
Governor Nichols Is reticent, and,
relying upon the public declarations Of
Hayes, and the compact entered into
by his friends with the Democracy
pending the decision Of the grand
com mission, confident Of ultimate sue
cess. A thorough investigation OF the
frauds OF the returning board by hon
orable, fair.minded, justice'loviug rep
resentative men will secure that rec
ognition for whi3h he has labored, AND
with which the people will alone be
Satisfied.
The city Is excited over the action
OF the cabinet, but quiet and unde.
monstrative Of any hostile movement
or intent. Nichols police have ar
rested all the Packard recruiting 0fli
GERS and imprisoned them under the
charge of treason. These arrests have
had the effect desired, aud many o
the negroes recruited have returned Il
their homes in the river parishes.
The session of both the Packard ant
Nichols legislature have been exten
tended to March 30. The Packar'
body passed general appropriation
bill and adopted a joint resolution call
ing upon the president for assistance

of a conspiracy against the State go,
