The first consultation took placo in the office of the Attorncy-General, and tno gentlemen present submitted theis viows to " Judgo Wuliams very fully, and were anxious to roceive expressions of opinion from bim ou tho several points that entered inta the discuesion.

During the progress of ths consultation ths President was advited by the Attorney-General that the ropresentatives of the two factions were holding a mesting with tho hope of effect- ing a compromise. ‘The President responded in a note in which he expressed a sincers hopa that the remult of the meeting would bt the adopiion ofa plan to harmonize their differ- ences, which could be indorsed by the Attorney- General, and thos end the contest.
