Our sister Slaie of Loulsiabs :. ba'iap
anything bat nice lime Of II Just now
Fora good whilr, there have been two fac.
iiors NJ the radicals ruling there, hghling
over The iGoils ord Healihgs, ma In other
States where they have control. II Is but
fair to say thai each one Is worse thnn the
other. Gov. Warmouih aud Senator West,
We believe, headed one fnclion-lhc negro
Lieut., Gov pun, md Speaker Curier, the
radical rebel, the other. II was about an
even balance IN number and power until
Dunn took II into his hend, on his stomach
(somc thought he was poisonod) to die aud
he went up or down, M the case may he.
This was n great loss to his faction, The
wnrmoulliIcs succeeded In some way
there has been talk about money being
uscdI in elect ing Wnrmotll negro o'suc-
coed Dunn, aud that has given them the
advantage. Lately tho Legislature met.
An attempt was. i.EsiS TO Gust Speaker
Carrier from his chair Of empire over the
law making aud law breaking mob, and
n resolution was carried to that effect.
W hereuIon the door Of the Speakers room,
adjoining the elevated platform, on which
he sits in state, suddenly opened with dra-
matte effect, end fifteen or twenty armed
men surrounded Ike late rip rebel and
now loved radicarchiSf, and he called The
House to order by their aid. We should
have noted, in describing the factions, that
Grants ofi,ials in New Orleans, from the
first, sided with Dunn and Carter, SO that
this wing or ring has been frequently
spoken of as the Custom House faction.
At the head Of these officials is Cassy, n
brother.in-law OF the President. 1t will
be rccollecicd that, some time ago, when n
adical convention was about to be held,
lhcse officials called in from Gen. Reynolds
in this State two companies of soldiers,
with Gatlin guns, TO put down the War;
mouth tics, supposed to be hostile to Grant.
This created some stir in the country, and
the friends Of Grant said that he disap-
poved of their conduct, and that they would
be removed from office, but Ibis was no,
done. The truth is tina Grant approved
OF this decided why of securing his renom-
ination to the Presidency. Now, emboli-
ened by their former success and immu-
nifty from punishment, a new idea struck
them. Some of them made oath before
Grants U. S. Commissioner that Gov.
Yarmouth and several of the Senators
and Representatives, who favored him,
were engaged in n conspiracy, and Grants
U. S. Marshal arrested them. Then, while
these members were under arrest, the Car.
tertes as sembled and attempted to play
the little game, which was 60 successfully
carried on; by the Tie Xas radical. at Aus
lin-that is,they turned out enough of their
opponents and turned in enough Of their
friends, in their places, to give themselves
working majority. But the Yarmouth
ties were not idle. They telegraphed TO
Senator West at Washington, and he to
Pres ident Grant at Philadelphia, off as
usual on collecting tour,of pleasure, and
Grant, getting frightened, telegraphed
back to let the Governor and his friends
loose. Then the Governor proceeds to get
his part Of the Legislature together,
claimed TO be n majority of the members,
ffty-three in number, and the valiant Col.
radical Carter gets his lcgisla.
ture together, so that our sweet, sugar
growing sister is now blessed with two,
each one worse than the other We thought
il best to E We our readers this summing
up of the whole matter rather than to pub
fish the dsjointel telegraph reports, at all
times hard TO understand We must tell
them further, TINT all these things have
been attended with great excitement and
mobs, and the calling out of the armed
police and the State military, and he reg
ular troops under Gen. Emory. We regret
not being able to- state that 10th radical
factions have utterly destroyed one an
other.
