WARMoTI, made 8 speech the other
day in the Packard Bump Legislature
OF Louisiana, in which, among other
things, he said, that on the face of the
official returns to the ReturnilgB b lard
it appeared that Nichols received
about ten thousand majority. The
Board reported a majority of , 500 for
Packard. lie did not know by what
means the Board arrived at the result.
lie was not prepared to admit the
legality OF the means used by theBoard
to produce the result which they did ,
When il was explained TO him how
he result WAS reached, he would then
be prepared 10 say who had been le-
gaily elected Governor. When all the
members of the Legislature who were
elected should declare in Joint A ssem-
bly, who had chosen the Governor, he
was ready to recognise that man, be
he Nichols or Packard.

THE Washington Correspondents
generally re present the Democrats az

are correspondingly despondent, and
the most they hope for is that some
thing may turn up by which the cleo
tion may be thrown into the House
whereby the Senate will have the
choice OF the Vice President.

A New Party Move.

a. Washington telegram of the 18th
says: According to a previous ar
rangement 4 secret meeting was held
in Washington last night for the pur-
pose of organizing a national party in
the interest of Senator Blaine. About
one hundred and fifty persons from
different States Were present. Those
from the North expressed themselves
strongly against the course of the
{" PRESIDENT and his cabinet, alleging
that they have retained in office men
who are opposed to the principles OF
Republican party to the exclusion OF
its tried and true adherents.
Representatives from the South de-
clared that the President had dis
carded the States which elected him,
and given Office to enemies of the par
ty. Resolutions were adopted organ
izing the meeting into national joint
body, permanent officers Were elected
with power to institute branches
throughout the country, with head
quarters at Washington. Senator
Blaine left here last night for. New
York on business.

OF Mr.. Hayes course in postponing
the extra session of Congress, and
meantime attempting to maintain the
army without an appropriation, the
World says:
d" In word, then, the conduct of the
President in this matter is in violation
of the constitution and of the laws; is
i'm direct conflict with the spirit of our
government; is in flat defiance of the
political traditions and convictions of
our race To excuse his wrong doing
he has not even the poor plea of neces-
sity. By his submission TO the South
ern policy of the Democratic majority
of the country he has abated the cause
which compelled the last Congress to
refuse to grant supplies for the army !;
and it was his plain duty to call an
extra session of the FortyFifth Con-
goess before the close of the fiscal year
He has followed the evil example of
his immediate predecessor in his disre-
gard of law he has jeaporded the eX-
istence of the army, and he has bro't
great and cruel inconvenience, and
even suffering, upon thousands of
brave officers and soldiers; and he
has done all of this merely to avoid
embarrassment in prosecuting Il series
of sly and hopeless political intrigues.
This is the plain truth of the position,
and it is worse than childish to attempt
to evade it,"
