'New Y'ork, 26: The Tribune Kcw , ! Orleans special says that KelloggV check booK for 1S73 was also captured and sustains the testimony of tlie letters telegraphed lust night,its stubs 1 showing that large amounts were paid ( to United States senators while the; Louisiana case was pending before' Congress, in one case amounting to $4,500. Chicago, 26. The Tribune Xew Orleans spe ial says the chief obstacle to a compromise between the R"pub-' can and l'eople's party in regard to the managemt-nt ol the coming election elec-tion is the oppo-ition of United States Marshal Packard. A 1 romiuent Mc-Enryite, Mc-Enryite, however, assured the T-1-Ouite correspondent that he believed a compromise would yet be eftected. , to far, said he, s the colored mem- j bers ot the committee were concerned there was no trouble. In conversation conversa-tion with Colonel James Lewis, presi- j dent ot the Republican parish com-' mitlee, and other leading colored men, I have learned that they were disappointed with the result, and that an etKirt will be made by them to! have Mr. Packard excluded in the j next conference. They were grati-j fled that our committee were willing i to have the two colored members re-! tained on the returning board, and that our committee suggested the name of Dr. Roadanes for tbe third or non-partisan member. Dr.Rondanes is an educated colored man and for several years previous to and just after the war was editor of the Tribune, a. Republican paper. Of late he has bad an active interest in politico, and the feeling against Marshal Mar-shal Packard is very great. Itisfien-erally Itisfien-erally believed that he infused sutfi-! eieut courage into Kellogg to prevent his resignation during the recent ex- citement, and the fact is well recog- j nized that be carries the greater share of the brains of the Republican party of tne State under his hat. New Orleans, 26. The conference committee is again discussing the question of the returning board. Arrangements Ar-rangements will probably be made by whicn the Republican and People's parties will have an equal number of clerks, registers and supervisors. The committee confer again to-morrow. Troops have been forwarded by General Emory to the points designated desig-nated in the original order of Attorney General Williams, Shreveport, Monroe, Mon-roe, Coushatta, etc. |
