In the sffairs Of Louisiana, hilh.
erto, we have not seen bit to ex-
press opinions a. to the right or
Justice of either faction, 80 far as
the State government is con.
cerned. But, we have seen one
or two statements, Of late, that
seem to us SO palpably wide
OF the truth that it appears unju,t
for any journalist knowing the
facts to withhold proper explana
ton. The following has been the
rounds of a largo number Ct pa
pers, emanating first, we learn,
from the Chicago Tri6unH:
"The Kelloggites secured the
possession OF the State.honse, the
Legislature organized, and one OF
the first measures was to reOrgan-
ize the Supreme Court of the State
with material favorable to the
Kellogg faction. 1t was only at
ter this was done that the Kellogg
faction went into the State court
according to law, and they were
sustained. In other words, the
Kellogg faction first organized
outside and contrary to law, and
then in this lawlcss condition cre-
atcd a court to sustain what it had
DONE"
If the Tribune editor will turn
to his own files for the year 1868,
he Will find that the Judges OF
the Supreme Court Of Louisiana
were appointed in that year, all
for term Of 8 years; and there
has been but one vacancy since,
which was filled recently, after the
Court had decided upon the leg
atty Of the present State govern.
ment. Therefore the Legislature
has had nothing whatever to do
with the Supreme Court which
sustained the election of Governor
kellogg. The Tribune editor
could find, in his files, too, the fact
been created by the Louisiana
Legislature is what is called the
Superior Court, which has moth.
ing whatever to do with the cleo
ton affairs of the State. The 90
cessionists of Lon isiana have real
ly no just right to dispute the
claims of Gov. Kellogg.
FATAL AcCIDBNr.-On the 10Th
inst, the wife Of Joseph Walsh,
residing on the corner OF Hears
Icy and Grape streets, in this city,
while putting her bed room IN
order, placed several articles tenn
porarily off the bureau ON to her
bed, among them a box Of pills.
Her eldest child, y beautiful and
interesting little girl two years
aud three months old, was seen
shortly after playing with the Fill
box, and her mother fearing she
would lose it, took il from her,
and cent her to play in her cab.
Almost Immediately, the child
screamed and called her mother,
who found her lying back in tho
cab apparently in great distress.
Mrs. Walsh ut once sent for u
| physician, and took tho child in
her arms, who crying ont in agony
to her mother to kiss her, claspcd
her littlo arms around her neck,
and was supposed to be suffering
from warm fits, for which remedies
were administered; but she sank
quickly, and in about haitian hour
she was a corpse. The first ar
rival after her death, was the
Rev. Father Gilleesee, who al
once pronounced that the child was
poisoned. DIR. AFFORD, when Inc
came, corroborated lis assertion,
aud the mother discovering sever.
al of the pills bitten and chewcd
up IN the baby's cab on Saturday
evening, induced her to take those
remaining, down to the Drug
Store where they had been pre-
pared on prescription, for the use
OF Mrs. Walsh. when it was
found that one Of tho ingredients
of the prescription was strychniDe:
that fact and the symptoms rem
dering und,ubted proof that the
child came by her death by eat
ing them. 1t is q very sad CASE
