A Washington dispatch to the New York
Graphic, saya:
Inquiry is made why the Southern Demo
crAts are opposing filibustering and voting
with the Republicans to carry out the pro
visions of the electoral bill against the re-
ported injunctions Of Tilden and their
Northern party friends. The reasons are
numerous, and the most important are
briehy these:
/. Men like Lamar, Hill. Hancock, John
Young Brown, Erastns Wells and others
who have been leading, believe they can not
oppose the spirit and purpose Of the bill
Without being guilty of bad faith.
2. They have too much sense to believe
that any advantage could be obtained from
alibuAtering.
3, They believe that Hayes Is IN honest

while, on Che other hand they have not 30

The EIectornI Tribunal.

The Senate and House met in joint ses.
sion yesterday and counted the electoral
vote of South Carolina for Hayes and
Wheeler after much flibustering.
In the House, after the separation to con-
der this case, motion that the House take
q recess was lost by 81 to 10y.
A motion for recess to half.past seven
was ruled out of order.
An appeal from the Speakers decision
was made.
Mr.. Wood, of New York, moved to lay
the appeal on the table.
The ruling of the Speaker was sustained.
A further motion for a recess was made,
which the Speaker declared out Of order
and refused to entertain.
Appeals we're made from the decision.
The Speaker directed the Clerk to read
the decision of the court and the objections.
When the Clerk concluded, Mr. Phillips, of
Missouri, called for the reading of 1860
pages of testimony.
Mr.. Wood objected.
A motion to read the testimony resulted
in yeas Sc, nays 177.
Mr.. Walling moved q part of the testi-
mOny be read. Ruled out of order.
Mr. franklin moved the report on South
Caroline be read.
The Speaker decided that the report was
not before the House.
Finally, after two heurs' discussi n, the
report was allowed to be opened. At its
close several motions were made, and it be.
coming evident, unless one party or the
other yielded, the session would continue
all night, it was compromised to allow the
count to proceed until Vermont was reached
when the House took recess upon objec
tiOns to this State.
The objections to Vermont are trivial, and
are not Of a character that can 60 to the
commission.
When the two houses come together il
joint session to-day Vermont will be counted
fer Hayes, to be followed by Virginia fol
Tilden, and West Virginia for Tilden.
This will complete the list of States, save
Wisconsin. 1t is supposed some Democrat
will object to this States vote for Hayes
when the Joint bodies will separate to CON
slider the objection. ibis may carry the an
nOuncement of the result over into to-mOr
row; but the weakening Of the opposition
as shown in some of the test votes yester
day, makes 1t highly probable that the vott
Of Wisconsin will be counted, and the inal
announcement of the election of Hayes anG
Wheeler made by Vice President Ferry
from the Speakers rOstrum before Congress
adjOurng to-day.

An AIarru,

General Nichols White League ARMY
was on hand last night at their respective
rendezvous. The Nicholls police were
called in from their beats early in the even
ing and supplied with arms. The artillery
horses were in harness, ready to be hitched
mp 80 the pieces at moments notice.
All Of this preparation was on account Of
the expectation of receiving news of the
revocation of the status quo orders of Presi-
dent Grant, when it was understood an at
tack would be made at once upon the State
House.
The supporters of the government are
amply prepared to repel any attack, even
If one was seriously contemplated; while
information received from Washington is
of such character as to dispel all appre-
tensions of change in existing orders to
the military.

THE FHIBUsTERs ATWORK
The Commercial Cities Say, Quit !
MISERABLE FAILURE OF THE MARPlOTS
Especial to the New OrIsun. Republican,
WAsnrreror. March |, lao P. N.


The EUening Star, by all odds the most
influential and reliable paper in this city,
announces by authority that President
Grant Will not make any change whatever
in his Louisiana policy, but will maintain
the status quo until President Hayes as
sumes the duties of President.
This disposes of the roOrback published
in yesterdays New York Herald, and re-
published in Tilden's organ here this morn
ing, to the effect that the status quo order
would be countermanded and Nichols
recognised.
President Grant has stated time and
again that he would not make any change
in his Louisiana orders, but would leave
the case wholly with his successor, and
there is the best authority for stating that
he adheres to his determination.
Roorbacks published in the New York
Herald and Tilden organs generally are not
worthy Of serious consideration. They are
put afiOat by desperate adventurers of the
Nichols crew who have nothing to loose
and everything to gain.
The most intimate friends Of President
Hayes now here assert that he is not max
ing any arrangements as to who he will ap-
point as members Of his Cabinet, nor has he
made any bargains with NiChOlls' attorneys.
He has with his usual discretion steadily
abstained from making pledges in advance
Of his Inauguration, and will adhere to that
policy.
The fllbusters in the House are making
every effort to obstruct the count, but are
defeated at every turn.
The influence of the great commercial
cities continues TO be felt here in favor Of
the prompt execution of the electoral law.
The same potent infaenoe favOrs leaving
President Hayes wholly free and unpledged
as to his Southern policy and Cabinet ap-
pointments.
A few desperate Democrats and hybrid
politicians are endeavoring to commit him
in advance Of his Inauguration to this or
that policy, and to secure for themselves
and friends all the principal offices, but they
are not having any success. D. D. c.

In the House, Mr.. j. B. Guthrie filed Q
protest to the passage of the drainage bill.
Mr.. Berry, who introduced it, afterward
apOlogized for doing SO. A ballot was had
for Senator, and one j. e. Trimble, of
Union, seemed to be coming man to the
extent of nineteen votes Mr.. Barrett, of
Rapides, was granted leave of absence for
the remainder of the session. printing

bill was passed annexing q portion of the
parish of Lincoln to the parish of jackson;
also bill fixing terms of court in the par

Statutes which require lands to be cut up
into forty, sixty and eighty acre lots when
sold under seizure. Several bills were pre-
sented and referred.
A message was received from Mr.. Mich

The New Orleans Philharmonic Society
gave its fifth public rehearsal at Grune-
valid Hall on Wednesday evening, under
the leadership Of Professor E. Groenevelt.
The hall was crowded with friends Of the
aingers, and the listeners were rewarded
with an agreeable entertainment. The
Philharmonic Society, composed of our
best solo and chorus singers, is an assured
success. 1t renders chOruses with fine eff
feet, and may reasonably aspire to enter

operatic artists cOnspire to give New Or
leans the gO.by, We may yet hear good
music from home voices. and the PhilhAr
monics are doing much to cultivate true
taste for vocal music.

Burke and Pinchback as News Scenters.
The following interesting matter was tele-
graphed hither last evening by the Wash
ingtoR agent of the Associated Press, for
the benefit of the friends of the two diplo-
mats whose names are mentioned. The
points of Mr.. Burke's statement are decid-
edly interesting-the implied promise that
Republicans shall not be persecuted tor past
political conduct, and the ingenious ex-
PLANTATION of the lie that Grant contemplated

WASHINGTON, February 28.-GOvernor
Pinchback states that nothing short of q
serious blunder on the part of the Nichols
Legislature Of failing to carry ont faithful.
ly the terms of arrangements made here
can defeat the success of the Nichols gov
eminent. Pinchback is perfectly satisfied
that Mr.. Hayes will adhere to the policy in
dicated in his letter of acceptance relative
to Southern affairs.
The following information concerning the
affairs of Louisiana is furnished by Colonel
z. A. Burke:
There has been no bargain between the
Nichols government and the Republican
authorities concerning the election of 9
United States Senator. The Legislature of
Louisiana viii elect whomsoever they see
fit at an extra session. There has been
great anxiety on the part Of the friends of
Louisiana to ascertain il the appearance of
nOn-interference with the Nicholls govern
menG woull be adhered TO by Mr.. Hayes in
the event of his inauguration, and satisfac-
tory guarantees have been given, assuring
the permanent establishment of the Mich
oils government. On the other hand, the
Legislature of Louisiana and Governor
Nichols have guaranteed peace, order
and equal justice to black and white citi-
zens, with full protection to the cOlored peo-
pie in all their rights and privileges. No
persecution Of Republicans for past politi-
cal conduct, but no immunity for crime.
The announcement of the Presidents in
tention to withdraw the troops from Pack
ards support was independent of any
agreement, and was simply in accordance
with his well known views. Representative
GibsOn's name has been improperly asBOci.
ated with the supposed bargain. He has
been quite i'll for some days past. There is
NO agreement inconsistent with the honor
and dignity of President Grant, Governor
Hayes or the people of Louisiana.

of February 26:

cratic afiliation in 1872, and who while de-
claring for Nichols last fall stumped Ohio
for Governor Hayes, is en- route TO Colume

of the port Of New Orleans. he was in-
timately associated with WarmOth. who
appointed him tax collector, which ofice be
held antil Kellogg's accession, when he re-
turned to New Jersey whore he has resided
ever since. He is said to be one Of the most
Objectionable OF small Southern politiciana,

grossly misrepresent the Presidents pur-
poses.
1t is authoritatively ascertained that
upon completion of the electoral count Cen
eral AuRuF will keep the peace, and pre-
vent Nichols sdherents from breaking it
until President Hayes shall settle the case
permanently, which is now generally CON
ceded will be by prompt recognition OF

Those who best know Governor Hayes are

that he would sooner resign.

is Of paramount Importance, will most Sc
