LOUISIANA. -
Gov. Warmoth, who has been hero for several
weeks, loft tonight for Nov Orleans, convinosd
ieiana muddle. He is OF tho opinion;thn:, IL tho
Kellogg Government is forced on tho poop1o OF
Louisiana, that when the people OF TINT State
bocome convinced Of tic faot, thero will DO such
thing more than tho presence Of Federal troops
to supprods it. The opinion Is fast becoming
prevalent here that Congress- has made fatal
mistake in not taking some decided stand with
regard to the condition OF affairs in this unfor-
tunate State.

| tlon on Saturday morning. Dutlor has lonrned
wisdom from lis dofeat. The night before ho
found number Of mombors who would not vote
entioualy take = amallor sum. They we're willing
to voto themselves 81 900 900 apiece as OK
tra pay for tho present Congress, but thoro WAS
% point beyond which they, did not dare to 60.
Butler moved to reconsider the vote by
which, his amendment was benton, and
| plausibly argued that everybody admitted
that there ought to be some increase
| In the salaries Of mombors. Il the House would
! put his amendment in tho bill, he said tho Com
mitteo Of Conference would fix 1t up; that
81, 600 year WAS too high figure; the Com
mfttee would reduce 1t. The motion to recon-
sider was carried: Mr. sargont proposed to
s0,5o0 and strike out tho provision for tic pay
mont Of actual travelling expenses. This was
much the most reasonable proposition that Ind
been made. Tho added q 500 Is . liberal COM
