Judge Campbell said tbero wai no au
thority under the constitution mid laws of

terfere with tbo utfairs of a state, M it had
In Louisiana.
Toe presideul during the colloquy with
Judge Campbell said bis understanding of
the subject waa that the court bad merely
decided who wuro legal canvassers, and
even as atuted in tbe caie, tbo court ux
oeedod its authority, but it's decission will
barn to be respected uetil its declnloti
abatl be set aside
by a superior court, It would bo danger
ous for tbo president to net tho precedent
of interfering with decioions of courti.
Judge Cam bell said tbn committee did
not ask the president to decide anything,
they only Killed blm to Invettigatn the
matter, and to communicate to congress
tbu report of tho bonosl men sent by him
fur tbu purpose.
The president said be could not without
tbe action of congress, employ and com
nensatesuch men. Without congressional
authority such a committee could not ad
mluistcr an oath or compel tbo attendance
of witnesses.
Judge Campbell asked whether tbo
president would receive from tbe commit
tee the line ol facts iu tho case, If be did
cot wish to go outside of tbem.
Tbe president replied they would be

Into consideration tbe proposal made by
Jay Gould, looking to' a settlement of tho

company, v.m submitted. Tbe report
presented was very long, embracing full
terms of the oder made by Gould, and con
cluding with the rccommendution tbat tbe
proposition of settlement be accepted. Tbo
report was adopted, and result will be tbo
withdrawal of the suits pending against
Gould, 'upon the surrender to tho board of
directors $'.',030,000, wbicb sum. according

special committee, will cover the toUl
amount for which tho various suits have
been brought. The terms of sottlemcnt
with Gould include tbo transfer of sixty
thousand shares of Erie slock, tbo
Grand Opera IIouso and a number of
lots of valuablo land, ntnounilng to
fully $7,000,000. This etat'imont
was continued by Gould himself, this af
ternoon, who also said mere was an under
Mantling that bo was to be consulted in
tho business ot tbu road. lio thinks thnt
thu arrangements now made will enable
the company to lay tho third rail on tho
Erin road, to make tho ullunco with the
Luke Shore road. Various opinion aro
givon us to tho caiiiot which led tu Gould's
surrender; somo believing that ho hud no
other recourse, nnd others say It is pirt of
a doeply laid plan to reguin soinii of bis
lost influence over tho Erlu railway.
