NEW YORK, April. 16 The Tribune's
special from New Orleans says the Lou
isiana controversy is practically settled,
but 1t may take two or three days more
to arrange the details. The project SUBJ
stantially agreed upon proceeds from
the Nichols party, and delay in its
adoption is occasioned by difficulty in
harmonizng the members Of the Com
mission. The plan is to constitute a
Legislature of members elected on the
face OF the parish returns, the action OF
thrown aside as unconstitutional
and void. The Legislature thus
rectifed will meet in Odd-fellows'
Il all, and 70 on with business as con-
tinuation OF the Nichols Legislature.
Theoretically the question as to which
is the legal Governor will still be open,
but as the new Legislature will have a
majority Of Conservatives this is of no
practical Importance. Gov. Aicholis
will be recognized at once. The Mich.
oils Legisla ,ure will to-day pass the res.
olution giving effect TO the programme
of settlement, and will also
pas a resolution covering
the following points: Confidence in ana

and Fifteenth Amendments TO the Con-
stitution, and tue fullest protection o.
