sOnahis than Packard.

Especial TO st. Louis Eepnblicsn.1
The President has received directly
from Packard q request to be informed
II he was recognized as Governor. III
he was, he wanted to be supported. II
the President would say by d letter that
he did not recognize him. he would
withdraw. All he wanted was the Pres
dents decision. Chamberlain, Hayes
friends say. is not giving his Excellency
SO much trouble. He will be satisfied
with d Federal office. Foster, Of Ohio,
says, Ii the Louisiana case cannot be
settled by some agreemen either now
await q favorable opportunity when
there fs no probability Of bloodshed
and Withdraw the troops.
TEEE EXTRA SESSION.
What tls Democrats aud Republicans
Think About vt.
The number Of those desiring to post
pone or do away altogether with an ex-
ira session is increasing, and ell day
much intriguing has been done to S.
cure at least u poBtDonement. The
Democrats In the city, who are men,
bers Of the Housse, are almost unani.
mously In favor OF the movement.
Their reason i5 that they are afraid TO
organize the new House under the first
blush OF Hayes administration. Other
reasons, such as the great trouble Of
coming to Washington, are given, but
the one mentioned has the most weight.
The majority of the Republi-
cans are also endeavoring to
postpone the session. They believe
that by October or December there
will certainly be enough Hayes Demo-
Gratis to join with them in electing
a.. - nd / s1. IInT
Democrat Speaker. Hayes friends do
not want special session, because they
do not want him to be bothered during
the summer. Men of both parties have
been working to-day to secure enough
promises on each side that they will pass
IL deficiency bill for the army next
winter, and in that may eondone what
ever is done by the heads Of depart
ments In tiding over. The Democrats
say they are willing to promise
this IL they have the assur-
ance that the army 10 not to be used
contrary to the provisions Of the bill as
passed by the late House Secretary
MeCrary, Judge Advocate General Nc
Kee Dunn and Gen. Sherman, here to-
day, have been spoken with on the sub.
ject. McCrary is opposed to running
the army by the use OF any money not
specifically appropriated, and says he
will not do SO unless ordered by the
President and the Cabinet. Dunn says
that 1t cannot be done. Sherman agrees
with him, and adds that If it was at
tempted the officers of the army would
have to go without their pay. The
probability IL that the President will
call q special session for the 1st OF June,
at the advice Of those In official eonnec-
tion with him.
DON CAMERON.
His Election to the senate, and what
HE Remarked.
Especial to st. Louis III publicap.1
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Herr, In presenting the name of Don
Cameron, remarked that Senator Cam
eron had resigned because he was not
In accord with the policy inaugurated
by Hayes, and that the venerable gen.
tleman desired q successor who could
give the new administration his earnest
support. Such man, the speaker de-
clared, was Don Cameron, In whose
election the President was greatly in
terested, having informed the Secretary
OF War, before he vacated his position,
that nothing would crafty him more
than to hear Of his succession to the
Senatorial race
The nomination was followed by ap-
plause, but 1t was confined to compare
lively few. Resolutions were adopted
pledging the earnest support of the Re-
publicans to the principles outlined In
the Presidents letter Of acceptance and
inaugural address; mplimenting Don
Cameron for his unwayering faith in,
and devotion to, Republican principles
and for his freely expressed concur
renee with the policy of the President,
and expressing full confidence that he
will, as United States Senator, bring to
the support OF the administration Of
President Hayes the same ability and
vigor which made him 80 conspicuous
in the councils Of Gen. Grant. Senator
Jones tried in the caucus to get an in
dorsement Of the electoral commission,
but 1t evoked only ridicule.
A committee was appointed to inform
the senatorial nominee Of his success.
After the chairman had introduced the
subject, Mr.. Cameron addressed the
committee. In the event Of the ratili-
cation OF the vote of the caucas by tine
be his highest duty SO to act as to bear
his full part in sustaining the joint au-
thority OF the federal government in
whatever conflicts may arise concern
ing that authority. He promised his
cordial, hearty and earnest support OF
the administration of President Hayes,
and said he was unable to sec safe
future for our country, unless 1t be Sc
cured by the application Of the princi-
pies Of the Republican organization to
the administration OF our federal affairs.
Broad and liberal as these principles
are, as the beneficenJ policy Of the ad-
for restoring concord prop
erly illustrates them, We can scarcely
go wrong when insisting they shall be
fairly tried. Mr.. Cameron closed by
pledging his steadfast support to the
legislation in the interest Of American
labor. In the afternoon the ex-Seere-
tary Of War left for Washington.
