NEw ORLEANS. Jan. %, 1872.
The Hobbies OF the ST. Charles HOTEL headquarters
OF the Congressional Investigating Committee, have
been crowded all day with leaders and adherents
Of the political factions now disturbing tue peace
Of this community. Judge ScOfeld has been kept
busy receiving visitors who appear anxious TO
give him aid in his work. The Warmoth men arc
very quiet don't to be troubled about the In.
vestgati0n, and have had little to do with the COM
mittee. the Carter men and democrats on the
other hand are very active. ana are full OF sugges
lions. The democrats, made up principally OF the
old rebel element, especially court investigation.
They have crowded into the room of Mr.. Archer,
the democratic member OF the committee, filling
his ears with their woes and troubles and
IMPLORING HIM TO AID THEM.
The sessions OF the committee will begin to-
morrow, either at the City Hall or United States
Court Rooms 1t has become very evident to the
committee since their arrival that the troubles
principally, n not wholly. confined to the pot,-
Clans. The business men and the cttlZens proper
to take no interest In the matter, apparently
having no faith III any party or faction. They see

backed up by a Legislature which, like the Legisa-
lures OF most of States is cOntroleADy bad and
corrupt men, and as o consequence their jobs have
greatly increased the debt OF the State. But an
Offset TO this they have secured many improvements
In the way OF new railroads, new leases, DC. In
order to keep in power WarmOth has used many
harsh unjust and unconstitutional measures; but
then the people don't see any remedy should new
party come into power. WarmOth is backed up by
the majority OF the republican party OF
the State, and as his term as Gov
ernOr expires with the present year he
proposes to re-eect himself In the coming autumn.
In Carter the peOple see man as bold and as I'M
scrupulous as Warmoth, IN whom they can place
no trust. He is an ex-rebel officer,
AN ADVENTURE FROM VIRGINIA,
as warmotn is from Illinois. who joined the repub.
lican party for place and emolument, and was put
In office by his now opponent, Warmotn, by the very
system OF unjust ana unconstitutional laws 0
which he and his party now complain. He was
hand and glove with Warmoth until they quarrelled
about the spOils anu sway. He has mustered a
party whose leaders are composed OF men OF his
owpik, whO like himself, have been disappointed
in their ambition for ONCE or their greed for plum
der. CHER among these Is United States Marshal
Packard, who wants to be Governor. and United
States Collector Casey, who was disappointed In
not being sent to the United States Senate
in place OF General West. To get control OF the
party machinery Of the State is the total Of the
quarrcls now pending between these leaders OF the
reached serious point then it was that the demo.
cratic Old rebel element, which, when power In
1885, made the
KILLING OF NEGROES THE GROWING FEATURE
of their rule stepped In and joined the Carter fac.
tion representing the disorganizers OF the repub.
lean party. They with Carter because they feel
sure that defeat OF WarmOth will give the State
into their control. Their aid Is what has made Car
ter strong in numbers. So 1t is plainly that 1t Is
the politicians quarrel. IN which the people gain
nothing, no matter how 1t may end. The Congress
sional Committee ses this and the republican men,
bers thereof think their duties will end with merely
an investigation as what point the federal officials
took In an interference in the affairs
OF the state government. The attempt
TO CONNECT PRESIDENT GRANT
with either faction will surely fail. That some Of
his 0ficals however. have abused their trusts Is
beyond doubt. Warm0th SO far Is master OF the
SITUATION and II the investigation proves the federal

cipal opposition In mis- own party Will be broken
and the fight will 60 on between republicans and
democrats as Is the between parties In all the
States OF the Union. General Emory and Collector
Casey had long interviews with Judge Scofeld
to-day and tonight. Messrs. Scofeld McCrary and
