New Ontxaxs, April 19, 1877, As avticipated in Jast night's despatches, the break up of the Packard Legislature took placo to-day, about | a dozen drifting off into the Nicholls Legisiature, which | now has a well-established Returning Board quorum in both brancues. IN THS PACKARD LEGISLATURE, Early in the day the Packard organization went Into caucus to consider the situation, and, as usual in soch desperate cages, the gcene soon became a portect bed- Jam, General sfeMillan endeavored, in a well consid- ered speech, to allay the excitement and induce them to accept ihe situation. He saw nothing to be gained by prolonging a now useless opposition, and maintained it as their duty to Bupport the policy of the administration. and placed tt upon General Grant tur not defending the legal government when attacked by an armed force on the 9th of January last, At the conclusion of his speech, which was bitterly denounced by the majority present, he withdrow and will not return toahe State House, NO GENERAL STAMPEDE. As yet no general stampede has taken place, War- moth and bis friends having been comparatively suc- cessful in holding them together to-day, but even they regard extensive defections to-night and to-morrow as almost inevitable, PACKARD STILL DEFIANT. : Unaer his revorses Packard still maintains a bold front. He stated this afternoon that be had abaodant, rations, means and friends to hold out at the State House until the President will be compelled to aecido between the claims of the dual governments. He treats the defection of his members of the Legislature very lightly and says they will all come back again, PACKARD'S PROGRAMME. His programme appears to be to await the adjourn- ment of the Nicholls Legislature, when he expects to re-establish his quorum and elect tho short term United States Senator, thus transferring the case to Washington, His apparent confidence is not, however, shared by the other leaders, who speak despondingly and wear very long faces. Many of them have to-day been closeted with leading democratic politicians, as though searching for a soft spot on which to fall. THR COMMISSION. Tne Commissioners have been busy all day preparing their report, which appears to goto Washington in sections, but they expect to finish up to-night and hope to leave to-morrow. GOVERNOR NICHOLLS’ ASSURANCES, The commission’s report to the President by tele- graph to-day includes the following letter from Gov- ernor Nicholls referring to the joint resolutions hereto- fore telegraphed :— Exgcorive DerartMEnt State or Lovistaxa, New OgLEANS, April 19, 1877. To Hon, Cuarces B. Lawkesce, Joxxrit Jous M. Hagan, Jous &.” Brown MacVEacu:— GeytLEM¥N—I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of tho joint resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, In so doing I de- sire to say that they express uot merely abstract ideas, but the conviction of our people, which will be practi- cally executed by them through their representatives, their courts und their executive government, As the Chief Magistrate of the State it will bo not only my pleasure, but my bounden duty, to give every assistance in omy power leading to that end. I am thoroughly satisiied that any course of political action traced on a narrower live than the good of the whole people, regardiess of color or condition, must in- evitably lead to disaster and ruin, My views on this subject were fully stated to the Convention by which I was nominated and to the people by whom I was elected, and big f day’s experience fortities me in the velief that any policy founded on these principles must hecessurily result in the attamment of the onds tor which all just governments are established. I have earnest!y Sought to obliterate the color lise in politics and consolidate the people vo a basis of equal rights and common interests,,and 1t is a source of gravification to bo ubie to say that this great object is about to be realized, 1 foel that Ido but speak the sentiments of the people when 1 declare that their government will secure First—A vigorous and efficient exforcement of the Jaws, go that all persons and property will be fully and equally protected; and snoul¥ occasion reqrre it 1 will proceed in ‘person where apy disorders may menace the public peace or the political rights of any citizen, Second—The establishment of a system of pubite education, to be supported by equal and uniform taxa- ton upon property, so that all, without regard to race or color, may receive equal advantages thereunder, Third—Vhe fostering of immigration in order to hasten she development of the great national resources of the State. Having thus cominitted our government and people to these great principles I desire to aud the most em- phatic assurances that the withdrawal of, the troops of the United States to their burracks instead of causing any disturbance o| the pence or any tendency to riot or disorder will be the source of profound gratification to our people and will be necepted by them os a proof of the contidence of the President in their capacity tor orderly seli-government, enjoying, under the blessings of Divine Providence, the bappiness resulting from a government based upon liberty and justice. The people of Louisiana cannot fail to appreciate that their good fortune 18 largely due to the wagnanimous policy so wisely inaugurated and 69 consistently muintained by the President of the United States, I have tue honor to be your obedient servant, FRANCIS T. NILHOLLS, AN EXPRESSION FROM THE COMMISSION, The members of the commission say this evening that they have been necessarily more or less reticent hitherto, for their efforts have been largely through individual conversation, and to pablish their appeals and suggestions in advance oi evidence of their accept- ability would have defeated their object. They strenu- ously endeavored to svcuro one Legislature by general consent. A reunion would be nominal and nearly valucless unless accompanied by a good degree of real reconciliation and harmonious purpose, They have | constantly urged upon each side the duty of makiog propositions tending to the removal of difficulties through the work of the citizens of Louisiana, They believe that the national government has desired to accept what Louisiana should present, rather than dictate what Louistana should do, and that no settlement enforced upon the State vy military power could establish justice and peace, Thoy have striven, not so much for detailed plans of avy description, as | to soothe passionate focling and create a desire tur peace and union. They have not believed that treaties based upon an allotment of offices would reach the desired = end, Taey found = 80 great a iiversity of opinion among republicans and democrats that purty Hnes were often tuvisible, Neither party 1 a unit. They believe that no attain- able resuil, whether enforced from the outside ot | broaght about by gravitating forces wichin, conld be satisiactory to the whole of either party. ‘They all speak with respect of the personal bearing of both Packard and Nicholis, The letter of Nicholls | appears to pieaso them greatly, and they speak of him as an honorable soldier, whose sincerity and high courage cannet be doubted, Unquestionably ho will do lus utmost to carry out the policy to which he so frankly com- mits bitvsell, aud he is sustamed by the best moral and intellectual elements of his party, A large nam- ber of republicans have from the beginning accepted | his Governorship as inevitable, and said that it would not only bring present peace, but make a great step forward in the protection of the people and surely kad to a reorganization of parties, under which all sides would, a8 a matter both of policy and duty, pro- tect the personal and political rights of all voters, UNITEE STATES SENATORS.

Le; tt, THE NEWS IN WASHINGION—ANTICIPATED RE- PORT OF THE COMMISSION, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, ] Wasnixetox, April 19, 1877, A drenching thunder storm kept everybody indoors to-night, so that the important news from New Or- leans, which was made public to only a few of the people at the hotels, through a despatch received by General George Sheridan, of Louisiana, was unknown in the city generally. The President was engaged at a State dinner to the Russian Grand Dukes at the White House, and whatever intelligence he may bave quietly received during the course of the banquet he must navo kept to himself, as some of the Cabinet professed ignorance of the news when questioned about it later in the night. As tho Cabinet meets to-morrow he doubtiess deferred communicating his information until its session, when the Commissioners will also probably have madoa lengthy report by telegraphic cipher.

During the reception the Governor in response to a call from the colored citizons addressed them as fol- lows:— My FRiexps ov Coantestox—It gives me great plea- sure to meet you and particularly 80 to meet so many of the colored cit 3 Of Charleston on this occasion, I want you particularly, not only hore but throuxhous the whole state, to understand precisely the coodiiion ot affairs and the policy IL represented in the late election, 1 know that it is very natural for you to suppose, having been misled in so many instances, thut although a man who i$ w candidate for office may make promises you can- not know what will be tho result of those pleuges ‘until you see bow the policy has been carried out. All that IT bave to say to you now—and I say it when vi tory bas crowned our efforts—is that | stand now pre- cisely where | stood tweive yoars ago, I wasthe first man in America—cortainly the first m the South— who advocated the granting of tho right to vote to the colored man. (Appiause.) That 1s on rec- ord. Only a few days ago | saw in tho New York Tribune a statement mide by its editor, Whitelaw Roid, that in 1865 1 told bim that the Nortnern re- pubiicans would want to take away the right of voting — colored people long before the South over would. During tho late canvass I made a prediction that tho colored people would very soon tind that the only protection they had for their elective franchise would be trom the white men of tho South. You will live to seo 1 REUBLICAN DESIRE FOR RESTRICTION. I want to teil you an incident which has bappened since my election, When | was in Washington re- cently five or six or more prominent republicans, men high in position, uctually consulted me as to how tho voto of tho colored man could best be restricted. 1 tell you what is true. My answer was:— “We don’t want the vote of the colored man taken away or restricted, for, aside trom the triendship we bear this race, their right to vote gives ux thirty more yotes in Congress, and when peace comes we are satts- fled that the best men in both races and parties will vote together fur the Commonwealth, We don’t want to take that right away.’’ (Great applause.) I stand precisely in the position that I took twelvo years ago, THE RDUCATIONAL QUBSTION, 1 want to see the colored people educated, and I re- new hero the pledges that I bave heretofore made that we will give the colored people better facilities for odu- cation than they have hitherto enjoyed. (App:ause.) 1 shall use all my tntluence to sce to it that the means of education are placed within the reach of every citi- zen of South Carolina; and whea I say every citizen L do not limit or qualify the expression, NO DISTINCTION OF RACK OR NATIONALITY, Teall every man a Carolinian, whether he is white or black, whether he is born here, at the North or in Europe, who 18 a good citizen and hus the interests ot the State at heart, and hoe is entiticd to all the Protection thit the laws of the State and ot the United States can give bim. 1 am pledged to fullilevery promise made in the last can- vyass.

But to-night it was announced that the committee had completed its business and adjourned, hence no caucus would be held. This was agroat disappointment to many who were big with speech, and there was considerable growling and surmise as to why the caucus was not held. The real reason is that there 1s considerable difference of opinion as to President Hayes’ Southern policy, and it was feared by some members of the committee that if the caucus was held & resolution indorsing the Southern — poticy would be offered and opposed by several members of the Legislaturo, and #0 make a division of the party strength, Some members who favor Mr. Hayes’ polic} thought it was not the time to indorse it, while o prefer to wait and see What will be the ana, before making their opinions publ 1 trouble it was thought best to stcer cloar of the whole question. 1t is understood the next State Convention will be held at Cleveland on August 1.

Those who left to-day were of a sober, industrious class, who cannot bear idleness, and who are eager to face ‘privation and poverty in order to win alittle home for themselyos, Toil has no terrors for them, and they are just the very ones that a community regrets to lose, SAD FAREWELS.
