NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 27.-It is under
stood that the Kellogg government to-day
esproposed to tie fasionislS a plan of adjust
ment which would make Kellogg Governor,
Penn Lieutenant Governor and allow the
!, tusionists eighteen Senators and fifty-two
members ofthe House which would give
the Republicans a majority of three on
joint ballot. The proposition was enter
:. tanned In caucus, but no conclusion arrived
at.
Gov. McEnery states that the dispatches
read in the UniIed States Senate to- day by
Senator Morton which purport to have been
sent by Gov. Warmoth to him (McEnery)
are purely and absolutely fictitious. Ne
such dispatches nor any resembling them
have been received by Gov. McEnery.
The Miitia organization is progressing
rapidly, About six hundred were enrolled
-ta-dey.
4 IL Congress should adjourn without act
ing, it is believed Kellogg will remain in
peaceful possession of the State govern
ment, but without means to carry on the
government, as the treasury is bare and
many property holders threaten not to pay
dollar of taxes, which will probably be
generally adopted.
Il is said that the fusionists have sought
10 compromise by proposing to send Kellogg
70 che United States Senate, but this be has
declined.

era Williams, was for the purpose of con-
sUl1ng with the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections relative 70 the
proposition Of Gen. Dick Taylor for COM
prom sing the existing political troubles in

The breach between the opposing factions.
The proposition of Gen. Taylor was then
laid before the committee for their con-
