The INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY AND RECENT Con-
FLAGRATIoNs.-A Washington journalist who has
made himself acquainted with the operations and
character of the International Workingmen's As
ISOLATION, speaking of the horrible story set afOat
by the Chicago Times, charging that the great fire
was the work of incendiaries belonging to that
powerful Association, declares that its utter false
hood Is shown by the missta tements of facts, which
are easily accessible to an inquirer. He adds
these statements:
The International Society was organized in
London, during September. 1864, by a public
meeting held at St. Martins Hall. It's General
Council always has and still sits in London. The
place of its meeting is well known, and the Lon
don dailies frequently report the proceedings of
its stated meetings. The international is not a
secret organization. On the contrary all such
societies are repudiated, and at a recent confer
ence of its European leaders, held in London som
weeks ago, the chief discussion had was over a
rule repudiating all such affiliations. The rule
was adopted unanimously. No oath was ever ex-
acted the only obligation asked being adherence
to the programme of principles laid down by its
Geneva Congress, held in 1866. There were two
German sections. composed mainly of mechanics,
whose organization was also public.

New York usually receives about twO-thirds of
all the foreign imports of the United States, and
ships abont 40 per cent. of all the exports to
foreign ports, exclusive of specie. If this holds
true the current year, the account for nine
months would be about four hundred and fifty
millions of merchandise imported into the United
States, against four hundred and thirty-three
millions of merchandise exported the specie
shipped therefore would more than balance the
account.-N. Y. Journal IF Commerce.

4 Washington telegram says:
In the Supreme Court of the United
States tho case Of Dclano against the
Merchants Mutual Insurance Compa-
ny, from the Supreme Court of Louisi-
ana the question was upon the author
ity of the constitution Of Louisiana
to render q contract void because it
was based upon Confederate money
as its consideration. The Court below
found that Delano had the prior claim
to certain fund, but as the considera-
ton which established his claim was
Confederate money, it failed, and the
insurance company, whose claim was
subsequent, but based on valid con-
sideration was entitled to the fund.
This court says, in substance, that if
the judgment below had decided the
contract underlying Dclano's claim
was void, from the public policy exist
ing at the time, there would have been
no question for revision here, but as
the Judgment is based upon q provision
of the constitution of the State, framed
after the contract was made, which de-
clarcS that al contracts shall be adjutls-
ed null and voidwhich are founded up
on considerations Of Goa Tolerate money,
it will have to be reversed as having
sustained Il law rcpugnant to that
clause of tho federal constitution pro-
hibiting the States from making any
law which shall impair ;!ir obligation
of contracts.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The rough draft of the Presidents
annual message, though not quito fin
ished, was read to the Cabinet to-day,
all the members being present. 1t will
be, perhaps, one-tifth longer than last
years message. In addition to the two
copies to be made and sent to Congress,
five will be made in manifold for the
use of the city press and for telegraph
ing.
In response to a.question asked by
the writer of this dispatch, the Prcsi-
dent remarked that he had no objection
to saying that the message would not
show change of policy on his part, as
his endeavor now is, as it has been in
the past, to perform r entire duty to
the extent of his abil =, and in such
mannor as would best erve the inter-
ests of the country. He WAS not certain
that he would recommend to Congress
an extension of amnesty to the two Or
three hundred persons excluded by re-
cent legislation, but if he should, it
| would be with a proposed condition
! that the benefciaries merely take an
oath to support the Constitution of the
United States. Congress, however, had
ample authority in the premises and
could act with regard to tho matter
| without a repetition of his views con-
tanned in his former annual message.
he saw no more necessity, as had been
| asserted, for making declaration of q
more friendly policy toward the South,
as he sought, as President, under the
obligations of his oath, to execute the
duties Of his position without favor or
! Partially, according to law. lie would
| in his message endorse such rcconlnlen-
| dations Of legislation as may be pre-
sented by the heads of the several de-
! partments, and which experience had
shown to be necessary; and he would
recommend that action be taken in re-
gard to the award made by the Geneva
arbitrator. Tho money will be paid
by Great Britain to the Department. of
State and deposited in the Treasury
OF course it cannot be drawn ticrcfron
except in accordance with law for the
purposes specified.
In the course Ola conversation on the
subject of civil service reform, the Pres
ident said that while competitive OK
aminations were desirable, he did not
think it right that Offices should be
given to enemies of the Administration
to the exclusion of its friends. He was
now engaged in examining applications
for pardon, taking up the cases singly
with q view to conclusions upon them
He intended to pardon Col. BoWer.nan,
who, about eighteen months ago, was
convicted Of embezzlemcnt while he
was an officer i'll the Baltimore Custom.

EXTA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Gov. Warm 9th has called tho Lesis,
! lature in extra session, to meet on the
9th Of December and continue in ses.
sion ton days. The newly elected
members arc particularly designated
in the proclamation AS those to show
the proclamation is addressed. Unlike
officers proper, members Of the legisla,
turo do not hold ovor until their sue.
cessors arc elected and qualified.
In tho matter Of presiding officer
of the Senate, there is chance for an
other muddle. Pinchback's term as
Senator expired on tho 4th Of Novem-
Der. Does his election rs President OF
the Senate, and his subsequent INSTALL
ment, by virtue of that election, as
Lieutenant Governor, entitle him, not
withstanding tho expiration OF his
senatorial term, to tho presidency OF
the Senate until such time rs his sue
ccssor may be Installed in office? The
term of office of tho Lieutenant Cover
nor is for n period of four years, and
is co-cXistcnt with that oftho Governor.
Inc Governor, wc think, may legally
hold over, although now Governor
has been elected, if he be not qualified.
But can the presiding officer of the
Senate, who is not strictly speaking an
officer, hold over, because the Lieuten-
ant Governor cannot qualify? If he
cannot act rs President of the Senate,
how can he act as Lieutenant Cover
nor?
We would suppose that the Lcgis-
luturo will be re-convcned in extra ses-
sion so soon as tho limit Of ten days
has expired. The regular session be-
gins on the first Monday in january.
Tho members once in New Orleans

trouble and expense to themselves by

KELLOGG VS.. WARMOTH AND OTHERS.

The United States Circuit Court
room was thronged again yesterday
with people anxious to know what is
to be the result of the case pending
there, growing out of the late elections
in this State. Judge Durell having an
nounced that he had determined to
proceed at once with the main cues
ton, U. S. District Attorney Beck
with opened the argument and spoke
at great length, ably defending the
jurisdiction of the court in tho matter
under consideration, touching with
great force every point OF Importance
involved therein. In the commence
ment of his argument Mr.. Beckwith
stated that tho late war in this country
had determined that tho first duty of
citizenship was to the supreme govern
ment, and that tho old States rights
doctrine that tho citizens first alIegi-
ance was to his State had passed away
with the new order of things. He ar
gued that in the indecent scramble for
office that was going on in this country
mt tho present time and particularly in
this State where one set of men stood
ready to GUST another set from Office
by force of muscle rather than reason,
it was necessary for government to do
something to restore order. The Con-
gross Of tho United States had adopted
appropriate legislation for the enforce
mont Of the new amendments to the
constitution securing equal rights to
all citizens, without distinction of color
or previous condition, and if any citi-
zen or citizens had been denied these
rights in the late election in this State,
Mr.. Beckwith argued that redress was
clearly to be had under tho enforce
mcnt act in tho federal courts. lie
spoke fully two hours, and, without
any seeming attempt at clouucnce,
frequently became eloquent. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Beckwith's areu-
mcnt the court adjourned until today,
when Mr.. Semmes will resume the ar
gument for tho defense. Asa number
of eminent lawyers arc to be heard in
this case, it is moro than probable that
several days will bc consumssl in hear
ing counsel.

Can't sono ono send us Il bit Of con-
ISOLATION Tor the prospective loss of some
of our most energetic citizens ? The
late election will lose US undoubtedly
some Of the heaviest aggrandizers ever
seen in any country. And what is to
become of the State of Louisiana when
her adopted carpet-bag sons, with all
their wealth, leave her, denouncing her
ingratitude and swearing never to re-
turn? The lamentations of old Isaiah
ought to be in every household aud
read constantly. Just think of these
poor missionaries, who have been so
kind to the people ard so forgetful of
self, turned out Of doors and refused
employment by the people! Oh, it is
too bad! The world will despise us,
scorn will point her finger at us, and all
the beautiful things on this earth will
grow ugly before our eyes. Why can't
we make an omelette without breaking
some eggs? Poor eggs!

have the afhdavits they are SO apt in
getting, disproved by witnesses of un-
doubted credibility. Hence, the law
and the nature Of the case considered,
we anticipate final victory for Col.

Still, we arc not wholly oblivious OF

men are playing. They are schooled
In devices, frauds and unholy arts to

Joined by Judge Durell from acting as
Governor, and we presume this injunc-
ton will be perpetuated until tho con-
test now raging is finally settled. Our
Constitution provides that thee
shall be inaugurated on the End Mon
day Of January, and s'shall continue in
Office until the Monday next succeed
ing the day that his successor shall be
declared duly elected, and shall haze
taken the oath or affirmation required By
the Constitution" Tho statue Of the
State relative to officers, provides that
all officers shall hold over until their
successors arc indicted into Office
What then does Kellogg accomplish by
enjoining McEnery7 He simply pro-
longs the administration Of Gov. War
moth. II Antoine enjoins Col. Penn,
the Senate will elect a President pro
tenn, who will act pro ten,pore as Lieu
tenant Governor.
Gov. Warmoth cannot be relieved,
under tho constitution, until his success
sor has taken the oath ofoffice, and the
successor must be tho individual who
is "dec1ared duly elected" A Cover
nor iu Office, not disqualified, can not
be succeeded by any person except the
duly elected candidate for Governor,
and the legislature alono makes procla-
nation of his election. The legislature
is not doubtful; it is Fusion by a work
ing majority. Neither the courts nor
Congress have any power, to interfere
with the legislature. Suppose the
courts prolong this strife, neither KEEL
logg nor Antoine can be Governor dur
ing tho tendency Of the litigation
Warmoth remains in Office, and in the
event of his inability to act, the Presi-
dent Of the Senate becomes Governor.
So that until the pending suit Is deci-
ded tho Fusionists must remain in
power. Senator Kellogg would do
we'll to drop his game Of bluff, and re-
tire to his little bed in Illinois. I'm
less Congress shall completely demol-
ish the State Of Louisiana, and inaug-
tralizing, there is little or no hope for
the accomplishment Of his designs

THE NEXT SPEAKER.

The only names mentioned i'll con-
nection with the position Of Speaker Of
the next House Of Representatives Of
this State, 80 far as we ;have seen, are
those of Hon. ]. G. Moncure, of Caddo,
and Hon. ]. B. Elan, OF DeSoto. We
have the pleasure Of knowing both
these gentlemen. Major Moncure was
in the last legislature, where he made
a record which secured him tho conf
dence Of every man in the State. In
the distribution Of public positions, our
party did itself injustice in not present
ing Major Moncure to the people for
some high Office, at the late election
His conduct in the legislature and his
thorough familiarity with the ways
and wiles of Louisiana legislators, to-
gether with his quickness Of perception
and unimpeachable devotion to Reform,
give to Major N1oncure's acknowledged
claims as true man, a formidable as.
pect for his competitor. Mr.. EIam is
an experienced legislator, an able law
yer and a popular gentleman, who
would fill the Speakers chair with
dignity, fidelity and courage. lie was
Speaker of the Confederate House in
1864 and '65, and was a member Of the
legislature in 1866 and 'G7, since which
time no has not been in active public
life. Between these two gentlemen ii
would be hard to decide who is the
more competent. In respect to claims
to promotion based upon hard and un-
thankful services for the people during
the past two years, it would be depre-
ciating few men to say that Major Mon.
cure stands at the head of the list, and
on this score we really think nc is en-.
titled to the Speakership, an avowal
we can mako without disparagement
Of tho claims Of any other member CT
the House.
