once, detailing the programme to be
strictly followed out The story goes
that some one ia Chambers Office or
elsewhere, being friendly to Senator
West, communicated to him the plan of
operations
Warmoth, Pinchback and some others
we're in conference at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel on Saturday evening at 5 o'clock
and were to return together However,
Pinchback left New York that evening,
and it was ammo unced next morning
from the Grant committee that he was to
go to Pittsburgh to deliver an address
Meantime, General West had commHni-
Gated with General WsrmOth, and the
Governor aud Mr. Lawrence took she
Sunday night train from New York.
At Louisville they learned that Pinch
back was then thres hundred miles
ahead Of them, on his way to Louisiana
to convene the Legif lature, impeach the
Governor, Auditor, and some other o fl
GERS, Overturn the city government, re-
Organize the police, remove all Of War;
moths appointees throughout the State,
especially the registrars of voters, eighn
the new bills, and continue In session
until January next. 1t is stated that
everything was ready for him at Magno>
liza Amite and New Orleans by the
Custom House authorities, and plenty of
troops to call to protect the coup d etat
and maintain by force the Few regime.
Warmoth and Lawrence moved direct
II forward, but finding the regular train
too slow for their purposes, on their ar-
rival at Humbolt they chartered the en-
tire road and rolling stock on the Missis
sippi and jackson railroads to New Or
leans, and taking and excellent engine
and one car moved down the road at the
rate of forty miles an hour, and overtak-
ing the regular passenger train before it
reached the Louisiana line, on which was
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, invited
him to ride with them, and so return ed
hume together, as they originally agreed
to on Satu rday evening in New York.
And the whole plan of the Grant and
Kellogg cam paign in Louisia ma, as ar
ranged by Packard and Chandl er, proved
an abortion.
Report also says that quorum of the
Senate and House are in the city, and
that some of the members think that the
least Collector Casey can do is to pay
them mileage and per diem for the extra
session.
Since writing the above we learn that
Lieutenant Governor Pinchbaek missed
the train at Canton day before yesterday,
or else he would have been here on yes
terday morning
The Lieutenant Governor having
stepped 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 morn
ing, when the train of the Governor aud
Mr.. Lawrence coming along, he was in
vited aboard, and rode to the city with
| them.
The St. Charles Hotel was thronged
last night with citizens who called tc
congratulate the Governor and Mr. Law
renee on their return.
When Lieutenant Governor Pinchbach
was overtaken by Governor Warmoth a.
Canton, Mississippi, as he was on his way
| to sign the bills, and the proclamation
ready for him at Amite, he said to Gov
ernOr Warmoth: "Well, Governor, your
lucky star still in the ascendant The
| Lieutenant Governor acknowledged to thC
! Governor the objects of this plot in de
| tail 1t was not WarmOth' star, but the
| star of Louisiana that was IN the as
cendant
The carefully prepared plot could no
have failed of execution had Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback been a few hour!
ahead of Governor Warmoth on his ar
rival at Anite City, in Louisiana where
a proclamation, conyening the Genera
Assembly, awaited his signature, ant
wou'd have been telegraphed to New Or
leans at once. The legislation was al
shaped, and fifteen minutes only, wa
needed to run the bills though botl
Houses, each of which was quite sure o
a quorum on the instant of assembling.
