Taylo1's Reply to the Court Of Paris sc. In
his letter Mr.. Davis speaks Of Mr.. Hunter as
follows:
1T is true that I believed his usefulness d.
miAished by his timidity but before having the
advantage of his philosophy, ss e1pouDded in
the article now under notice, had concluded to
take him as God made him. osteemng him for
his good qualities despite his defects and now
regret thst these last have proved greater than
was supposed
II is unfortunate that these two old gentlemen
should be thus publicly qusrreling about N at
tiers that should now. like their furled flag, be
buried forever. They both performed their re-
spectivo parts in the great struggle to the best of
their sbility, and the world awards thcm the
praise for having been sctusted by patriotic and
unse6sh motives That being so, they should be
content, for not many Of those who take prom
inent parts in similar unsuccessful struggles are
held in such high estimation, and they should
rot endangcr that estimation by such contro.
versies as that in which they are now engaged.

WeIis' Plan or D.6snc.


NEW YORK, Feb.--A New Orleans despatch
closed his intended action relative to his trial
III it is carried out, the whole matter of the
Packard government and the legality of their
count of the electoral votes will be brought into
court and the supreme judges of the United
States compelled to decide on the matter He
said that it was his intention to object to the
Jurisdiction of the State court, on the constitu-
uonal ground that the Federal government
guarantees TO every State a government
Republican in form; that the Hayes electors
chosen under the State laws by the Returning
Board, vera recognized by the electoral COM
mittee; that the Senator chosen by the Legisla-
ture, and declared elected by the same Return-
lng Board, was seated by the United States
Senate, but that the State government dacisreJ
elected by the same legal authority has hem
suppressed by revolution, and that the
government or persons now trying him never
had any existance as government, or as legal
officials On these grounds he will ask that
the parties prosecuting him he eDioined, and
be will appeal to the Supreme court Of the
United States. If the court decides that these
persons are legal authorities. then the Legisla.
ture which elected Kellogg, and the electors
who elected Hayes, were fraudulent and had
no standing.
This has as yet been given out TO no one,
and by it Wells expects to surprise the Pres.
ident and cause Kellogg and others who are
now iukewarm, to come to his assistance.
