an act to maintain the integrity of the
State government, and to define the crime
OF intrusion into Ctfice, and fix penal tics
therefor, and providing for the manner of
enforcing the act. The bill was read twice,

which Senators Greene. Blackburn, Butler,

This bill ia very important one, because
it is intended to meet difficulties that are
likely to occur under the novel condition of
political affairs existing in this State at this
time. Every parish in the State, from pres
ent appearances, is likely to have two
claimants Cor every position that is to be
filled by appointment of the Governor. This
comes from having is Governor and Legis
iature and a pretended Goyern"s and Legis'
latureo When this contention was confined
TO She capital OF the State it was limited
for mischief and could Ie controlled by q
few ''m, In blue 20 bua wheSs is is allowed
to spread in the country parishes it is doubt
full whethero with che aid of an
Intrusion act, such as is contemplated it
VII be an easy matter to settle the spirit of
contention which is allowed to ditfuse itself
throughout the Stateo If Mr.. McEnervo
who is playing Governor and the gentle
qUb nj, I CJ II
Fellows Hall, do not mean mischief. why
do they pretend to have the right that can
bel0ng only 80 the lawful Governor auG
Legislature of State? The matter. it is to
be feared, is getting beyond the control of
anything short of bayoBet law. II the
spirit that has animated the fusion party il
this city is TO spread in She country, and
every parish is 20 he Cr'rsed with a set OF
pretenders. such as nave been permitted to
curse this eityo these Is ne telling where
the mischief that mas been SLOWED % take
root hero will end, Congress and the
President should determine at once that
sucf, q condition u: things can not exist
without injury to all the parties concerned,
and 40 fheg have the power to command
the peace here and determine that lawful |
government sbal! be obeyed, Che sooner
