Among other things. it Is related-and we

! gramme to be strictly followed out. The
story goes that some one ia Chambers
office or elsewhere, being friendly TO Sena-
| tor West communicated To him the plan of
operations.
Warmoth, Piuchback and some others
were in conference at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel on Saturday evening at five o'clock
aud were to return together However
Pinchback left New York that evering, and
il was announced next morning from the
Grant committee that he was to 20 10 Pitts
burg to deliver an address.
Meantime. General West had communi-
Gated with Governor Warmoth. and the
Governor and MIR. Lawrence took the Sun
day night train from New York.
At Louisville they learned that Pinch
back was then three hundred miles ahead of
them, on his way to louisiana to convene
the Legislature. impeach the Governor,
Auditor, and some other officers, overturn
the city government, TeorganiZe the police,

time in session until January next. 1t is
stated that everything was ready for him
at Magnolia, Amite and New Orleans by
the Customhouse authorities, and plenty Of
troops TO call TO protect the coup a. etdt and
maintain by force the new regime.
Warmoth and Lawrence moved directly
forward, but finding the regular train too
slow for their purposes, on their arrival at
Humboldt they chartered the entire road
and rolling stock of the Mississippi and
jackson railroads to New Orleans, and Ia
king an excellent engine and one car moved
down the road at the tate of forty miles an
hour. and oVerLaking the regular passenger
train before it reached the Louisiana line,
on which was Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back invited him TO ride with them, and so
returned homo together, as they originally
agreed to on Saturday evening in New
York. And the whole plan of the Grant
and Kellogg campaign in Louisiana, as ar
an abortion.
Report also says that a quorum of the
Senate and House are III the city, and that
some of the members think that the least
Collector Casey can do is to pay them mile
age and per diem for the extra session.
Since writing the above we learn that
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback missed the
train at Canton day before yesterday, or
else he would have been here on yesterday
morning.

into the telegraph Office to receive or send
dispatches, some one locked the door of the
office, and before he could get out the train
moved on, and he was compelled to wait
over till the next morning, when the train
of the Governor and Mr., Lawrence coming
along. he was invited aboard and rode to
the city with them.
The St. Charles Hotel was thronged last
night with citizens who called to congratu-
late the Governor and Mr.. Lawrence on
their return.
When Lieutenant Governor Pinchback
was OVertaken by Governor WarmOth at
Canton, Mississippi, as he was on his way to
sign the bills, and the proclamation in read

Warmoth: 'tWell, Governor, your lucky

not Warmoth's star, but the star of Louisi-

The carefully prepared plot could not
have failed of eXecu ion had Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback been few hours ahead
of Governor Warmoth on his arrival at
Annie City. in Louisiana, where a procla-

awaited his signature, and would have been

legislation was all shaped, and fifteen min

through both houses, each of which was
quite sure of quorum on the instant of
assembling.
