Ject, and he is much gratifed at finding
what are the views of this officer. He
stated TO day that the impression he de.
rived from the remarks of the Attorney
General to him was that he thought all the
members of the Legislature ought to be
seated who had the majority of the votes
actually given or rendered, and that he did
| not approve of the arbitrary method by
which votes had been stricken from the reg
istration lists, and whole precincts thrown
out by the Clayton officials. With respect to
the use Of the United States troops, the reply
OF the Attorney General was, they would
only be employed to prevent q collision,
and to aid the marshal in enforcing
the process Of the United States Courts.
MIR. Rice strongly urged upon the Attorney
General to send down one of his own off,
Gals To investigate all the facts of this eec-
tion which are of record, and to report the
same to himfor his investigation; but the At
torney General replied that be bad no funds
out of which to pay such an agent. Sena-
tor Rice is satisfied on the whole with the
present statements and views of the Attor-
ney GeneEal, and is, moreover, confident
that Congress will order an investigation,
and says that the facts are so Gear that the
Liberals will succeed in installing their off,
GERS and securing their rightful power in
the State Legislature. He says the people
do not mean to give the matter up, but will
persist until they get their rights recognized.
Mr.. Rice viii start In day or two for Lit
tie Rock, and probably remain there until
the present troubles are ended.
The Louisiana Case.
The state of the Louisiana question is not
seriously changed to-day. The delegates in
Washington are still not advised what will
be the action of Judge Bradley upon their
request to proceed to New Orleans to bold
court. If Judge Bradley should go, be
Will, besides having to decide whether q
United States District Judge can abrogate
one State government and create another,
have the further question to decide whether
such Judge can suspend obnoxious news
papers at his pleasure. Many of the dele
CATION who went over to Baltimore have re-
turned this evening. Judge Campbell
will return tomorrow; and at 10 A.
NJ. the delegation will consider the
subject of their address to the
American people. 1t is understood
that this will be brief and candid account
of the facts, reciting the fairness of the re-
cent election held in Louisiana, denying the
charge that any considerable number of le-
gal voters were refused the opportunity to
register and to vote, e,and claiming that McEn-
cry is the choice Of large majority Of the
people of Louisiana. The usurpations OF
Durell will be reviewed, the sutferings of
the taxpayers from legislative spohation
and the attempts made here and elsewhere
to secure justice. Many Of the delegates
favor distinct reputation of Warmoth, as
one whom they neither represent nor SYM
pathize with; aud if this be not incorpora-
ted in the paper, one of the delegates de-
clares that he will print ,rd over his sig
nature, stating the contempt he and his
associates have for Warmoth. A commit
tee Of about ten members will remain here
until Congress shall meet, to urge the sub-
ject on that body.
