REPORTED BT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Liouiitlana Affaire,
Washisotos, April 23. Packard will
remain in the State House until the troops
are withdrawn, and the money allowed by
Nicholls is distributed among ms men.
The money will be disbursed by a com
mittee of three from each' party, and will
l)e handed directly to the men.
The New Orleans Republican concludes
an article on the situation : Gov. .Packard
has patiently waited day by day for that
aid which, according to his understanding
of the Constitution of the United btates.
was his unquestionable due, and failing to
receive this aid his choice now rests be
tween submission to force and resorting to
civil strife. Iq such a dilemma lber& Is
but one course for patriotic citizens,1 and
such Gov. Packard has always shown him-
S2lf. . ,.
Washington Items a .,
Washtngtos, D. C, April 23. Gov
Colquitt, of Georgia, is here at the Willard
House. . .
Ben Wade has succeeded in finding
publication fcnrhis letter attacking Hayei'
Southern policy in the lnew York Time.
The Baltimore American says of it : "It
is very bitter and caustic, but the writer
seems to have forgotten that circumstances
have changed since the end of the war."
No information can be obtained regard
ing the balance unexpended for rivers and
harbors. All paragraphs on this matter
have been based upon favorable hearing
accorded to persons in favor of special in
terests. The War Department takes spec
ial pains to conceal its intentions.
The Star savs: "Amone the rumors
on the street is one that the President will
appoint Governor" Packard, of Louisiana,
to be Collectorvof the Port of New Or
leans." Gov. Colquitt, with Senator Gordon, had
an interview with the President to-day.
The President seemed glad to hear how
well Georgia was getting along.
Mr. Blaine says the story that he intends
to introduce a resolution in the next Con
gress questioning Hayes's election is the
invention f an idiot.
Mr. Stephens rode out to-day and called
on Speaker Randall, Mr. Adams, Clerk of
thellouse, and the President, who came to
the portico of the White, House and con
versed with Mr. Stephens, who' remained
in his carriage. It was the first meeting
of these gentlemen, and the conversation
was confined to topics of courtesy.
Ex-Gov. Warmoth telegraphs a friend
here that Packard will vacate the St. Louis
Hotel to-morrow.
Hear Admiral Preble writes from Pana
ma, April 10, that affairs on the Isthmus
are peaceful.
lleports Uelative to Farm Auins.
Washington, April 23. Reports rela-,
live to farm animals, as received at the
Department of Agriculture, show a gener
al exemption from diseases among cattle
with a few exceptions, and a more than
average healthfulncss and thrift, especially
in tbe region north of the thirty sixth de
gree of latitude. In the milder region
' where shelter is not provided, emaciation
and death are not unfrequently reported.
In cne county in Georgia (Taylor), 150 of
a herd of 500 were lost. From the Alle
ghanics, occasional cases of lung fever are
reported from northern latitudes. From the
South more frequent mention of similar
diseases and local losses from blind stag
gers and leBS frequent loss from glanders,
and in the Mississippi Valley a few cases
of charbon. Sheep are generally in good
condition. In Southern California flocks
are dying from drought, and in some
places are sold to go to Oregon and Ne
vada for thirty-seven cents per head. The
losses of swine have been very heavy in
the West and South, particulars of which
will be given in another report. The
great plains, not exceeding seven per
cent, ef the returns, indicate a low con
dition. Cases of pleuro-pneumonia
have occurred in Burlington in New Jer
sey, Baltimore in Maryland, and Cumber
land in Pennsylvania. Cases of abortion
are scattered through the dairy districts in
no greater numbers than usual, and local
losses are reported in the South from dis
cases resulting from miasma and lack of
nutrition. Such losses vary from 2 to 20
per cent, in the counties of the Gulf States,
and from 5 to 25 per cent in certain coun
ties m Texas, iso prevalent disease is re
ported among the horses.
FOREIGN.
! London, April 23. A courier arrived
at Vienna on Sunday night with Prince
Gortsdhakoffs circular.
It appears that Russia will delay the de
velopment of her intentions until the 29th

will be absolutely settled until the war is
regarded as inevitable. ;
The Times' correspondent who is with
the Turkish army, states that" 10,000 men
from Widdin have gone eastward to the
