This proposition was taken under advisement by Packard, but was declined by Nicbolla, who, while willing to furnish all “intormation asked for, refuses to recognizo the ’ackard government on any term: equality. He contined his ands upon ‘the national government simply to the with- rears of tho United States troops irom the State ouse. ‘The commission is still in session with tho Packard committee, To-morrow, at cleven o'clock, it will meet another committee trom the samo side in relation to the status of the Supreme Court, Late to-night meeting will be held, when its members will decide definitely upon the mode of procedure jn Carrying out tho object of their mission.
