The Lousfsna Emcutc-Gravc Complexion
Of the Troublc-Two Governors Deter
mined to he Insugurated.
The Louisiana troubles are likely to demand the
immediate attention OF Congress. On Monday
next both McEnery and Kellogg will be inaugursted
az Governors Of Louisiana. provided the fusion
Legislature Is not overawed by federal bayonets.
IL u understood here that General Emory will have
under his control ON that day between three
and four thousand troops, including cavalry and
artillery. 1t Is positively asserted by prominent
Louisianians now in Washington, who are thor
oughiy advised OF the situation that McEnery will
oe inaugurated, even IL trouble Is preciptated for
tine people OF the State are determined to force the
iederai government to take charge Of them. In
the House the seat Of Mr.. B0arman. OF New Or
leans, democrat Just admitted, ia contested by
scott, colored republican. The Committee or
Elections may evade the question a. to who Is en-
titled to the seat but 1t cannot be evaded In the
Senate. Within two weeks successor OF Senator
Kellogg will be IN washington, and IL both Iegis-
iatures are permitted to send q Senator elect
the Senate will be obliged to meet ths isaue
wnotrer Louisiana has . republican form OF gov
ernment as Ia guaranteed by the constitution, or
decide to admit the one chosen by the Custom
House party, to the exclusion OF the represents
tive OF the fusion Legislature II the issue Is not
made In the above case then It will present Itself
anew when the electoral votes OF the States
are counted. as the Grant and Greeley electors
have both deposited their electoral votes with the
Secretary of STATE 1t will be the OF the demo.
cratic Senators, supported by Trumbuil, Schurz
Fenton, Upton and Rice, to have a resolution
passed declaring that republican form Of govern
ment does not exist in Louisiana. If this is not
done It Ia boldly asserted that 1t will require more
troops than General Emory has under his COM
mand TO sustain the PlnchbacK Legislature in au-
thority.
1t appears that the messenger bearing the cleo
tOral vote OF Louisiana for Grant and Wilson ar
rived here two days ahead Of the messenger with.
the package containing the liberal republican cleo
t0ral vote. The first man received the certificate
that he was entitled to mileage, &C., amounting
to over six hundred dollars. Mr.. Simms the libe.
raj republican, informed that the Secretary OF
State was only authorized to pay one messenger
from each State, and, without Judging which OF the
packages was the right one, he had paid the
bearer OF the package containing the republican
vote.
Gentlemen nom New Orleans claiming to be fully
posted on the intention Of the Pinchback Legisla.
ture are divided In opinion as to who will be Sc
lected % Kellogg's successor Pinchback's friends
claim that he has q majority and will be elected,
unless money is more potent than popularity f.
E. Norton, formerly OF New York city, but resi-
dent OF New Orleans since 1857, Is believed
to be the coming man. He has held q
very lucrative ONCE under United States
Judge Durell-that Of General Assignee in
Bankruptcy-and is believed to have made an i'm
mense fortune at the expense Of the people OF
Louisiana who were compelled to 60 through the
Bankruptcy Court at New Orleans. Others say
that Judge Durell himself is candidate and 7. @.
Billings, o lawyer, Of New Orleans who is also
much spoken Of; but Durcll Billings and Norton
are partners and will not oppose each other. The
fight viii be between Pinchback and Norton.
The Goat Island Job-The scheme to be.
Opposed in the Senate.
The Goat Island job will be pressed In the Senate
by powerful lobby, the ruling spirit Of which Is
Representative Sargent Senator elect Of Califor-
MIA, and agent OF the Central Pacific Railroad, wnO
1t is alleged, has not thought 1t beneath him to
lobby in person. A most determined effort will be
made to pass 1t during the present session.
When the bill comes up Senator Stewart, who is
also in the interest OF the job, will attempt to
secure It's reference to the Committee on Pacific
Railroads, of which he is the chairman. Failing In
this he will try to put 1t through without reference
to any committee. Senator cole, one Of the most
indefatigable opponents OF the measure, viii ask
that it be referred to the Military Committee, ON
the just ground that military authorities are the
most competent judges Of the disposal OF military
reservations. Senator Cole has no doubt that the
corrupt scheme will be defeated although one of
the leading administration Senators is strongly in
favor OF it. Mr.. Stanford President OF the Central
Pacific Railroad, has come here to promote the
scheme in person. A Senator from Nebraska has
been approached with an indirect promise
in order to his vote in favor OF the passage
of the bill. General Humphrey Chief ofthe Engineer
Corps, Ia engaged In preparing report on the i'm
portance OF the island to the government and the
injury which the construction OF bridge from Oak
land to the island would have on the now OF water
In the bay. 1t will be ready IN few days.
