The following telegram was read:
WASHINGTON, February 20, 1877.
To Governor r. 7. Nichols: (Confiden-
tial)-We havs been one week organizing
. force to compel guarantees and securing
your government. Had conference to-
day and tonight with Sherman, Matthews,
Dennison, Garfield and Foster. We assure
peace, order and the protection OF the law
to white and black. No prosecutions for
past political conduct, but no immr n.ty
for crime on the other hand by the grad
ual process Of such methods as may result
in your full possession Of the government
Of the State, by the withdrawal Of the
troops. non-interference and revocation Of
military orders as to the Senate. So close
will party lines be drawn hat friends be-
lieve If Kellogg and a Democrat present
credentials on the 4th Of March. there will
be great danger o. Kellogg being seated;
could we agree as part Of this arrangement
to the leng-term Senatorship remaining as
now, and calling an extra session about the
10th Of MARCH to elect, and provided the
vote on the admission Of a long-term Sena-
tor be deferred until the extra session, we
could elect our leading Senators. They
assure us that K~ellogg's admission can be
prevented until the extra session. This
arrangement would not prevent the imme-
diate election Of Eustis or a short-term
Senator. There may be favorable action
immediately. Gibson is sick.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July ~.
Ex-Congressman Morey resumed the wit
ness chair, and gave it as his impression
that If the Packard Government had been
recognized in the first place, as Kellogg's
Government had been, and had the
President said he intended to main
tain the Packard Government, and
given to it the necessary moral
support, there would have been no
trouble in maintaining it. The witness
incidentally said hat he had one or two
interviews with the President at great
length, during which the witness argued
that the withdrawal of the troops from
New Orleans. and, Notwithstanding the
Packard Government, would be the de-
strnction of the Republican party in the
South. The President took the position
that the Republican party could no longer
maintain that policy, which had lost New
fork to the Republicans, and the party
had become weaker in consequence, there
fore, the good Of the Republican party
demanded a change. The President
treated the subject as Of National concern.
The witness said. SO far as he knew. no re-
turns had been thrown out by the Return
ing Board on inadequate and insufficient
proof. There wal q movement to make
Nichols Governor, even to the extent Of
violence. General Butler interposed, say
ing, and in this Nichols had the idea
Of the President and the Mcveigh Com
mission. The witness remarked I wish.
gentlemen, that you would distribute these
questions among others.
General Butler-We have been asking
many Of them because it is SO rare that we
nave an honest witness.
Witness-There are many OF them, If
you would only look after them. l find
the people Of Louisiana as honest as those
anywhere else.
Labor Troubles.
WASHINGTON, July 81.
A mob Yesterday interfered with the la
borers working for IS cents a day. They
overturned the carts, plovs, etc., and com-
PEELED them to desist. The police prevent

cavating the foundation Of the Bureau of
Engraving building. The men who order
cd the workers to desist were fully 700 in
number, both colored and white. Cine Of

badly cut. The Norkingme az organiza-
ton of this city held a meeting last night
and endorsed the action of the parties who
yesterday insisted upon the men quitting
work at K ccnta q day. The contractors
for the excavation Of the ground for the
Bureau Of Engraving will endeavor to have
the work. resumed to-day. and will have
the protection Of the police. There Is
mach anxiety regarding the situation.
