WAslilNGToN, Feb 27.-The Calendar
being in the regular order, Carpenter
moved to lay the calendar OH the table for
the purpose Of taking up the bill reported
from the Committee Oh privileges ana
Elections previous for new election OF
Louisiana. 1t is absolutely necessary, he
.aid. that this should be acted upon in or
der TO avoid the bloodshed shown by the
morning papers to be imminent in Louis
lama Sherman and Morton also urged inn
mediate action upon the bill and it was
taken up.
Hill offered a substitute embodying his
views in the future of forming q Legisla-
ture out of the legally elected members Of
both the Houses now claiming to be the
Legislature of Louisiana, and authorizing
this new Legislature go formed to count
the returns of the last election and declare
who are the legally elected State officers,
CARPENTER addressed the Senate in sup
port of the bill reported by the majority of
the committee. The views of the commit
tee, he said, were fully set forth in the
majority report, aud as the bill had been
submitted to persons representing all sides
of the controversy, hesupposed that if such
bill were TO be passed at all this one would
be satisfactory in its details. He had just

addressed to himself, Mcmillan and Gov.
Warmoth, which was read at the desk as
follows:
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. p. 1873.
To Rne. l.. McAfiltafs and Gorclnor Var
1noth:
1t not true that the country parishes
are rapidly acknowledging their allegiance
to the Kellogg Government. The people
in thecountry, like the people in the city,
will never yield obedience to that govern
meIt. 1t can never collect taxes and it
can only be maintained by forces. That
force will have to be United States troops,
stationed in every parish to enforce the
authority of his government. His govern
ment can only be sustained by an actual
conquest of the people and not by the kind
of force which the people would submit to
rather than have militia.
This dispatch was signed by large
number of citizens, who, according to Nc
MILAN, are leading men in the country
parishes. 80
Under the regular order, Mr.. Morton
said it would be a vast national misfortune
and great misfortune to Louisiana that
this bill should pass. a small faction in
that State, having gotten up the so-calied
McEnery Government without a shadow of
title under the law, was now endeayoring
to stir resistance as to the actual Govern
ment-the Kellogg Government-resist-
ance which must lead to strife and blood
shed. McEnery, q so-called Governor,
without any authority whatever, was now
doing all he could to destroy the efficiency
of the dc fdcto Government, and doing
this, as he (MOrton) was advised, at the
instigation of persons now in Washing
ton. To make good this charge, Morton
read the severcl proclamations of McEnery,
concluding with the one published this
morning; but McEnery and his friends
were now getting into rather deep water.
Upon attempting to carry out this procla-
nation they would be mere rioters, and
on refusing to disperse they would be La
bic to be shot. kilograms had been re-
ceived from Governor Kellogg showing
what McEnery was doing and under what
influence he was acting. s--Gf8 [sE
In one telegram Kellogg says: Gov.
Warmoth telegraphs urging a collision. /
don't think the present Government can
get strength enough. They are fast losing
the confidence of the community. Their
Legislature yesterday had no quorum. %
In another telegram dated Goth, Kellogg
says: Gov. Warmoth has telegraphed
McEnery as follows: If you are Cover
nor do something to show it now-actiOn
-action-action.
Trumbullv says: L am authorized by
Coy. Warmoth to say both these dis
patches stating that such dispatches ever
came from him are utterly false.
Morton says: / have nothing to say
upon the question. / have read the dis.
patches as they have been sent here.
Carpenter proceeded with an elaborate
speech. afa ssef 80 %@
Carpenter was generally denunciatory
and quite eloquent. He argued there was
one of two courses to pursue, to acknowl-
edge McEnery or pass the election bill.
senator Thurman, who represented the
Democrats. made speech favoring the
recognition of McEnery as the only solu-
ton. The speeches upon these points sIs-
tanning Kellogg, unfolding MrEnery and
ordering new election indicated that in
the opinion of the orators the Republican
form of government in Louisiana for the
moment had fizzled. The Indications are
that the vote viii be very close and that
the issue will be forced before the Senate's
adjournment. - AA1- - -
