The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-01-25

The Supreme Court Of the State has
decided that the Lynch-Longstreet
Board Of Returning officers was the
only authority possessing legal right
to canvass the returns of the recent
election and determine the result. This
decision Of the highest judicial tribu-
nal Of the State, it seems to us, should
ut once settle all controversy in regard
to the legality of the Kellogg Govern
ment, and relieve Congress of the
necessity of further consideration of
the question: All good citizens will
now give their aid and countenance to
the Republican State Government, and
frown down the McEnery politicians
who are embarrassing the business
interests Of New Orleans and Louisi-
ana by their useless prolongation of a
revolution that must eventually fail
of accomplishing the object of the agi-
tators-i. g., possession of the public
Offices for themselves.

We invite from our readers a care
full pettol4slall Of the inaugural addree,
Of Gov. kellogg which is published in
full on::tbesfirst pnge Of this issue.
The address is manly, outspoken and
able, entirely void ornamental flights
Of rhetorical eloquence, but treating
Of the subjects Of most interest to the
State and herpeople at this time in a
clear and vigorous manner that indi-
Gates on the part Of Gov. Kellogg a
perfect conception Of the situation and
the remedies necessary to cure the evils
which now beset US. Our estimate of
the new Governor is that he is an
honest, practical statesman, and we
eel. that;nnder his administration of
the government, the State of Louisiana
is destined to recover all of her lost
prosperity. a4..a se ~, .z.
