WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT NIERY Bpecial Dispalch to Ths Triduna. ‘Wasminatox, D, C., Fob. 18.—Thero aro good reasons for bellesing that President Grant will decline to interfero in Loulsiana during the re- mainiug two weeks of his admintatration, ox- cept to maintaln the preseut peaccable atatus in quo. Thero havs been acveral important con- ferences of Republicans to-day, at which it was decided to racommend this course to the Presl- dent, and Scerctary Fish has been requested to use his Influence to that ond. Tho arguinents used are somcthing like this: tiov. llayes has o poliey lacking only fu detall to be supplied by counsel with promincnt. men from all ecctions hereafter, which he thinks will restore peace, prosperity, and good feoling to the Bouth. iooughtto have an opportunity to put that plan in exceu- tion without belng embarrassed by auy act of the closing days of Presldont Graut's adminis- tratlon, which hie (layes) might not be able to undo, and for which he might WRONGYULLY BE HELD RESPONBIBLE, Moreaver, the Southern Democrats In consider- able number have acted Ingood falth in this caucus In opposing the desperato measure of the revolutionists designed to defeat tho Presl- dential count. They have donc thls, mno doubt, Dbeliuving that tho passage in Gov. Hayes' acceptance . relatlng to Southern affalrs futended whot it safd—that they have more to bope from Iayes adminfstration in the South than from Tilden's, and that these alncere conclliatory advauces from Boutliern men SUOULD DE IESTROTED 1o the extunt, ot lcast, of not comptlcating the Routhiern situtation in any way which would em- barrass President fIayes In the exccution of his proinised policy. Kellogg, Pitkin, and a simall followling are using tremendous offorts to induce the Prestdent to fmmediately recogntze Packard, Lut some of the most promincut Republ leaders thorouzhly acquainted with Loulsiana affairs bave advised the Presldent to a contrary course for the reasons stated. Those whoshould kuow, say that TIE PRESIDENT WILL ACCEPT TIIIS ADVICE, and that ho does not feel that he ought to do anything fn the cloaing days of his carcer which might futerfere writh tho whole policy of the fol- lowing Administration. The Republican lead- crs say, therofore, that, unless some extraord(- nary outbreak shall occur in New Orleans, maks ing the usc of troops nceessary to preeerve tho uicace, the President will surrender tho Adinta- istration to Gov. Hayca with Loulsiana in the sltuation that it uow fs, NON-RECOGNITION. The Packard Government will not be recog- nized Ly Presldent Grant unless tha White- Lincrs, by scta of violence, force him to do so. Beveral prominent gentlemen have had inter- viewa witli the President to-doy upon this sub- A have represented to him the sftuation utially as stated In earlier dispatehes this evenlox. Tho proposition was falrly submitted tolim that it is botter that the questlon of Packard’s right to the (Governorship of Loulst- ana and Kcllogg's right to admission to the United Ststes Benate be held in abeyanve for o fow wecks than that by Iacon- slderato and hasty actlon uow four years of turbulence bo forced upon the couutry, and the policy of the lucoming President bo scri- ously embarrassed, i€ notontirely defeated. As a result of thoss interviews, I um able to state, upon authority, that THE PRESENT POSITION on tho Loulsiana question ls substatially this: Tho report which was telezraphed from herc to New Orlcans on Saturdsy that the Presl- deut bas decleed to recogoize the Pazkard Government was untrue. The President bhas reached no concluslon .on this subject. o stated, lato this evealng, that he scarcely thought that he should do nuything more than to pregerve the peace, Lut ho added that thero might be certals contlugencics In which hie would be compelled t grant Executive rovognition, What these rircumstanccs were tho President did not state, but the juferente was very plain that he neaut actsof violence committed by the Nicholls Government In vio- lation of the prescnt agrecment to malntain & peaceful status in quo. There can be no doubt that TUE PRESIDENT 18 VERY A ta belog compelled, during the two romalning weeks of his Administration, to recognize Packard, Ho Iu fact sald that he belicved, howover, that the Packard Governmeut could only ba sustalzed by the prescuce of troops, and that, as thero remained but two wevks of his Adininlstretion, he would hardly feel justl- fled in tuking any actlon, us HIs BUCCESSOR MIGOT NOT ENTEETAIN THE BAMNE VIEWS a8 to the usc of the military in support of tne Stato authority. In such ovent, tho Prusidrot sald ft would place his act in 8 very unpleasant light. THB PINBRBACK PRECEDENT. The Prealdent has frequently referred to the refusal of the Benatc to recognizo Kellogg's Governmeat by the admlssion of Pinchback, potwithstauding he had recoguized it by the wmilitary power, and, by & pasity of ressoning, CHICAGO, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1877. has not heen able to deckdg that the recognition of the Electoral certificates by the Elcctoral tribunal needs necessarily have for its conse- quence the recognition by the Benmats of the right of (Kellogg to = seat _as BSenator, This atatement of the Presldent, made upon authority, will do much{o keep the Southern Democrats fiom renewing their alliance with the Tilden Democ- racy, which was effectusily eevered by thelr caucus vots last night, If this rupture con- tinues thero can be no possible doubt of the peaccable Inauguration of President Hayes. WELDOK, Bpettal Dispateh to The Tridune BrooMixarox, lil,, Feb. 28.—Wfllam H. Weldon, who attempted to assassinate Gov. Packard, passed throughs Bloomington a few daysago on his way to New Orleans. While hero he was at the 8t. Nlcholas Hotel. e Lought an_excursfon ticket from Bloomington to New Orleans and return via the Illinols Cen- trals MADDOX. 7o the Western Awsoctated Press. WAsmiNGTON, Feb. 18.—It has been relfably sscertalned that Maddox, the witness before the Committce on the Powers, Privileges, and Dutles of the Hotee, called on the President after returniug from New Orleans, and repre- sented to him that Gov, Wells was afraid of his life, and therclore destrud protection. The Premdent referred him to Sccretary Chandler, Chairinan of the National Republican Commit- tee. Thia wasall this witness had ‘to do with the President, who did not promise protection, although he sald Wells ought tohaveit if neces- sary. THE PRESIDENT. S VIBWe. Special Ditpatch to The Tribune. WasmiNGTON, D, C., Feb, 18.—The President, I speaking of the political status of S8outh Carolina and Loulslann, sald that tho cases were extremely dissimilar, and could hardly be treat- ed under ono general line of action. In Bouth Carolina the contest had assumed such n phase that the whola army of the United States would be inadequate to onforce the authority of Gov. Chamberlain; that tho people of that Statc had resolved to resort to vilolence, bub adopted s mode of resistance much more effective than armed demoustration, They had refused to pay thelr State taxes, and b would be uscless to scH thelr property, as no one would buy It Unless Chamberlain could compel the Collector of taxes, it would be utterly useless for him to expect to maintain his authority for any length of time. This state of affsirs must inevitably result fu the sbandonment of all efforia by Chamberlain to maintain himeelf In the excrelso of the gubernatorial functions of South Caro- liva, In regurd to Louislana tho President will not undertake to declde as betwaoen Messrs. Peckard aud Nicholls, THE PRESIDENTIAL FAMILY. The Presidont will leave the Exceutive Man- slon on Baturday, March 8, and with Mrs. Grant will be the gucats of Secretary Flsh till thelr departure from the Cepltal, which will be carly in April. M. and Mrs. Sartorla will take up their residcuco this week with Mra, Louls Dent in this city, and will remain untit May, when they wil sall for Europe. Ulvsses Grant, Jr, the Prestdent's sceretary, will leave for New York March 5, to bogin the practice of law with the firm of which hio now is a member. €Ol GRANT, who has been in Washington fortwo winters en- gaged dn making coples of the records of Gen. Bherldan's headquarters destroyed in the Chi- cago fire, will return to the headquarters of the Licutensnt-tieaeral at Chicago at one, Thedata which ho hias been accurulating since here em- braces ot only the official records of head- quarters, but also the ofticial material for a full history of Sheridan's conncetion with the War, BOCIAL. The President will give no levees nor dinners. The statement that he ‘will give a farewoll diuner to his Cabinct was entirely unauthorized. The abscnce of the usual Prealdentlal levees this winter has been tho subject of commeat, Itcan be stated that they were sbandoncd on account of the excited state of fecling Inclident to the political contest between the friends of the candidates for the succession, and that, under the circumstances, 1t would be beat not to liold theso levees. FUTURN INTENTIONS. ‘The Uresident has no futention at present of taking up his residenco fn this clty, Tho housgo which-ho owus lhcre was taken by hiin only to relicve the parties who had purchased the ground from him which his own house partly oeeupled, Before depurting for Europe the President will visit tho West.

A CALL ON THE PRESIDENT, To the featern Associated Press. [ WASINGTON, ), U\, Feb. 15%—A number o Houthern members of Congreas, togethor with representative men from tho South, will calt on Lhie Presldent to-morrow to request him to take no wmtion on_ Gubernatorial questlons in Louistana sud South Carolinn, but to leaye it to the determiuation of his suxcasor.

C., Feb, 18.—With roference to tho stories that have.been started concerning Hoycs® probable Cabluet, & persun very near to him, who ls understood to speak by authority, says that [ayes’ position Is this: o has inen- tioued no mnane to any person.

THE BOUTUERN DEPAKTUKS. Maoy leading Republicans have been unwille ing to belleve that there was anything fn tho Southern Ilsyes movement, In this respect thoy have not been as wiso or as well-informed s Tilden, He, withiu a wonth, hus made over- tures hero to the leaders of tho Southern De- woeracy uffering them Cablnict places and varl- ous inducements if they would rcuiain faithiul to hiacause, but, sinco the caucus vote of last night, Republicaus ackuowledge thut the ii- bustering faction of the Democracy was alons defeuted by Southern votes, It 1snow suggest- ed, even, that it may be possible for the Repub- llcans to organizcfthe next Houso {n spite of the ‘Tildon Democracy, by tho ald of Southern votes.

EXPEDIENCY, THE IMPULSE WIICH PRODS.TAE DEMOURATS TO RIGHTEOUANESS. Bpecial Dispatch ta The Tridune, Wasmnotox, D. C.,, Feb. 18,—~The real re- Itance of the Republicans for the consummation of the count and the Inauguration of President Hayes, {n thelr own catimation, Is not so much upon the senes of honor of their opponents as upon the conaiderations of expediency which have welght with them, True, there are many Ueaocrats so high-minded as to feol that itis the duty of their party to submit to the result of tho arbitration ard to place no obstacle in tho way of its golng luto effect; but many TRepublicsns belleve that they do not make a majority. A much greater number, It is gaid, thinking allis fairin politics ss iu war, «would gladly break up the Commission or defer actlon upon its report so aa to defeat o final de- dsion, if they thought thelr party would not suffer by the course. WERE THET SURE OF CARRYING TUE COUNTRT NEXT PALL, sfter such o proceeding, their political oppo- nents think, the 4th of March would find no President declared elected. Fortunately, they have scrious miseivings of thelr ability to sat- 1sfy public sentiment of the rightfulness of go- fng .back om o contract. They know with what Importance the pcople atwalt a scitlement of the vexed question, and what cxpectations of a revival of business are built upon s definite termination of the whole quarrel before the 4th of March, Indignation against n party gullty of destroying the hope of tha natfon, aud of vlunging It snew into the sca of political strife would, thoy forcsee, be INTENSE AND DESTRUCTIVE, To prescrve the Democratic party as a powerful organization, with prospects of speedy success in the future, they think It cssentlal to carry out in good fulth the declsion of the tribunal. Behind the faction controlled chlefly by motives of “honor, and this larger foc- tiou moved by a sagaclous perception of what s wiso and polltic, there fs the third faction of Destructives, who are not restramed by a scose of fairness, aud who are not shrewd enouch politicians to know what 1s expedient. ‘The dominant motive, with them, fsto be re- venged upon Republicans by keeplug Haycs from coming fn. It fs in the power of the Democratic majority la the Housc to prevent his {nauguration, and TOESE EXTREMISTS ARE INDIGNANT at thelr cool-headed assoclates for not uniting in such & movement. I remonstrated with on tho ground that jt would bo dishonorable, they denounce the Commission schieine of scttlement as a trap, & swindle, and o game with londed dice. They have pretexts enough, eatisfactory to themselves, for rcfusing to bo hound by tho result. If appcaled to on the ground of ex- pendiency, they answer that thoy Lelicvo the country 18 iodignant at” the verdlet and would sustain the Democracy In hindering the Repub- licans from profitthe by ft. They are often so unrcasonable as to bo ADHOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Probably the faction numbers as many s fifty or sixty members In koth Houeus. It tncludes most of the men who §o out of Congress at the cnd of this scseion, and who have for inonths liad their cyca fixed on profitable oflices which thoy cxpect to enjoy under Tilden's ad- ministration. 1t {s no wonder that, n their bit- ter dlsappointment, they cannot acvept defeat with philosophy.

"It thera ls law for fraud, there fu reason fur violence, and to that we make our last appeal, DEMOCRATIO DISCLAIMERS, Bome of the Democratie leaders buavo been as shocked at this publication ss the peoplo of the country everywhers cannot fall to be. These Democrats have taken palns to request that the press take notice of thelr personal alsavowal of any such eentiment, and that the public judgo the Democratic party by the resolutions of the caueus of Jast evenlig rather than by any revo- Intlonury exoressions of this surt, which are en- couraged, these leaders say, by but fuw men. It is unfortunate for the Democratic party that the splirit of the assassin s in it,—that "on so muny ocvasions and in so many dilferent parts of the country it as been NECESSARY TO MAKE APOLOGIES for tho assussin's success as well as for his malevolent futent. 'The artlele In tho Capital echoea the sentiment expressed by & good many Democrats who might ot care to be held ri- spousiblo for their personal declorations. A promiuent Kentucky Democrat, upon reading 10 a newspaper the anuouncement af the decls. ion of the triounal in the Loulsiany case, threw the newcpaper to the floor, and stamped, and innediutely Jeft with his family for Kentucky, declariug that it was uscless looger to remaln in Washington.

Special Dispazch o Tha Tribuns. Wasaixaron; Feb, IS—Bowo Conscrvative Democrats oxpress the hope that the Demo- cratic members of the Commission will not vote fo a body against countlog the Hsyes return from Oregon. They think it would Le an excel- lent way to disprove the cbarge of partisanship sgalust thoss members, and to fusten it at the samo time more strongly upon the Republicans, i the bogus return of Crontn should be thrown out by the voto of all tho Democrats. Itisnot probable that this will bo done, however, 14 yacr, the Democratic Commidstoners could not con- sistently take nuch a course, In the Loulsiana case moat of them plantod themeelves upon the theory that a State cannot elect an Ineligibic person to'the officaof Electur, and that the yotes east for such a person arc thrown away. They 8id not vlaim that the highest infnorlty candidate In such 8 case 18 elected, but main- talned that the State lust the yote in ler Elect- ornl College of the disqualified Elector. There acetns to he no way for thein to escape applying this theory to ths Uregon case, THR DEMOCRATS HAVE DECIDED, it 1s eald, not to abanden tlielr contest fn Ore- won, although they do not expeet to have the Crouin vote awarded thent. Buch pruminent Democrstie members of the Electoral trinunal 85 Bayard and Judge Abbott laye intimated that, it Tilden's chance depended Hrou thelr vote for Cronin, Lis expectations would not he realized.

Wasnixcrox, Feh. 18.~Representative Soy- ler, Chairman of the South Cerolina Investigat- ing Committee, will make hisreport to-morrow, It says that many mistakes and Inaccuracles were found in differcnt returns, Some of these were eigned by one and somo by two Managers, but if ali the returns affected by such irregular- ties were rejected it would not change the re- sult. The result, by ascertalaing the votes cast at all precincts and correcting mistakes made by Manngers in returns, shows that Bow- er recelved the smallest vote on tho Re- publican Electoral ticket—namely: 02,008 votes, or 831 votes over McGowan, who reecived the largest vote on the Democratic ticket, viz.: 91,262 votes, The report cites the Electlon 1aw of Bouth Carolina, and detafls TIE MISTAKES MADE under it at the last clection. He then says: At one unouthorized precinct 422 Mepubllcan votes ware cost, and an aitempt was made to count 1,117 Hepublican votes allegal to have been castat Ttobibins Procinet, 800 more votes than thore wers voters in the county In 1875. The Committec are satisfied that the whole return was a fraud, gotten up Lo Insure the clec- tlon of county and State officerr on the part of the Republicans.

Wasuixerox, D. €., Feb. 10.—Some Demo- cratic members of Congress advocate tho most extreme mcthods, and it caunot be denied that aminority of the party openly sdvocate the adoptlon of the very tactics which the Cepub- lcans fear. Some of them are talking very loud fn that straln to-night, and beyond a doubt will filng their fircbrand jnto the caucus to-mor- row night. The certainty of this may yet In- duce the Democratle leaders to give up the caucus, a8 it {s hardly an advisable time to pro- voke Internal dissension fo the party, If this coursc {3 inally fixed upont, the Democrats will put in thelr objections to the Louisfana decision on Monday, aod after the two Houscs have scparated the debate will proceed at once, as It Is geuerally agrced that it fs to push on the end, ond mot protract the agony any more than is absolutely necessary. In the present condition of political feeliug it is almost certaln that this debate will proys ex- clted aud passionate in both Houscs. still, s it Is timited by law to two hours, 1t will not be protracted, und when tho nllotted time has becn copsumed, the two Houses will meet In Joint conveution aflln and dgo on with the count until Orcgon is reached, when they will ogain scparate to await the action of the Com- nission, This Is the barcst of formalities now, and the Democrats will iuake no particular con- test even If they do_ not conclude to make no objection nt al) und let the case %o by default. Boine of them nre advocating that courss to- night and demanding fu addition that the Dem- ocratie menbers of the Commisslon shall im- wediately resign and refuse to give farther countenanes to its Iniqutous proccedings. Part of this prosramme is for the House to adopt a formal protest, such as was presented by l?nmr Knott and voted down on Monday, declaring that the Commiseion has violated the Iaw under which it is acting. 11 this courso is not followed the count will be cuncluded by the cnd of next week.
