CITY AFFAIRS.
THE HIGH JOINTS.
A 4 to / Report Probable.
The Commission Will Effect Nothing.

The Commission wore engaged Tues
day morning in receiving tho visit OF q
colored delegation from city Republi-
can club. From the number OF darkies
who put in an appearance, the whole club
must have been out. The consultation
with them occupied all the morning,
and long story of Paclsard's wrongs
was piteously told.
The matter OF compromise is the topic Of con
versation around the Commission rooms. and
various plans are suggested ~ the most likely
ones tgmeet the Commissions aednieeeenoe. The
people outside of those engaged in politics are
unit against q eomprUmise Of any kind, They
say they will not stand another barter oil their
rights, and that they have either won lost the
aght, and knowing They have won, they refuse to
give up their victory oven nj the sacrifice OF .
Henator or anything else.
There WIS some very strong language used
over this compromise talk, and many "enss'
words shock In the aif.
There is considerable difference OF opinion
about the standing OF the Commission on the
adjustment question Coy. Browns stand is
supposed to be one entirely in keeping
wirH HAYES INAUGURAL,
but Kellogg has had his friends to surround him
In order TO netralize his opinions, Ii possible,
and render them more epns3nant with Billy Pitts
ideas, az yet without Success, however. II looks
now very much like to suggestion OF eompro"
mise.
The Commission will surely finish its labsrs
before Saturday.
Everybody tofssesa now that the Commission
will not effect anything by their visit, and that
they will go back TO the President and chow that
they were powerlsss TO move the people In their
deter mination to hold on 10 their rights. This
will undoubtedly be the upshot OF the matter,
aud nothing will come OF the long conferences
aid consultations.
The reception yesterday afternoon was that Of
the representatives of the eolored people here.
About thirty members were present, all claiming
10 be property holders They said that they bad
government. and the unfolding Of the National
| constitution. They further SAID that inasmueh
NJ they had
UPHELD THE HAYES GOVERNMENT
they believed 1t was their duty TO uphold Pack
ards government 10 the last, and that the main
tenapee Of Packard was necessary TO the saliva
| ton OF the negro race. Dol. Jim Lewis was the
was the secretary. The special commission was
with this delegation until quite late hour. After
| the delegation had retired
FOUR GENTLEMEN FROM THE COUNTRY
were introduced. They were old.time planters
| aud knew the people OF The Stats well. They
had voted In the last election for Hayes, but now
Thought Nichols should be the Governor and
ought to be sustained. They said that If Pack.
ard should attempt TO pry into the weakness of
| the present situation, there would be sanguin-
| airy result, and TO this everybody agreed. In
other words, Packard would rather remain In q
subordinate condition than be an aapirant for
any promotion.
| Other property holders also visited the commit.
tee. and sad that the recognition Of tho Nichols
| government would do more towards sffeetjng d
pacifoahon Of tho people here than anything else.
After the visit Of the members Of the oolored
committee the Council OF the city was admitted,
and they gave suooinet statement OF tho affairs
OF the CITY under both Republican and Demo.
| cratic rule. The statement presented showed the
| mposiiions of the park and other taxes, and how
much had bsep acquired by Hadiosl maehina-
| tiuue. II Ia evident that now the Com mission
feel that they are without work and ought to nd
| tnurn.
