appealed to the Democrats to know
whether during his twelve years in the
House he had not conducted himself
in a fair and impartial manner. He

THE LOUISIANA QUESTION.
The calender being called in the reg
ular order, Mr.. Carpenter, of Wlscon-
sin, moved to lay the calender on the
table for the purpose of taking up the
bill reported from the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, providing lor
a new election IN Louisiana. 1t was ab-
solutely necessary, he said, that this
should be acted upon, in order to avert
bloodshed shown by this mornings pa
pers TO be imminent IN that State.
Messrs. Sherman and Morton also
recommended immediate action upo n
the Bill; it was taken up.
Mr.. Hill, oil Georgia offered a sub
stitute, expressing his views in favor Of
forming Legislature out OF the legally
elected members of both ,bodies now
claim ng to be tine Legislature OF Lou
isiana, and authorize the new Legsla-
ture 30 formed, to count the returns Of
the last election, and declare who are
the legally elected State officers.
Mr. Carpenter Of Wisconsin, address
ed the Senate briefly In support OF the
Bill reported by a majority OF the Com
mittee. The views OF the Committee
he said, were fully set forth in the ma
jority,s report, as this bill had been
submitted to persons representing all
sides OF the controversy. He supposed
that il such a bill were to be passed at
all, this one would be satisfactory in
all it's details.
He had just been handed, by Mr.. Nc
Millen, claiming to be Senator elecl
from Louisiana, a telegram addressed
to himself (McMillan,) and Gov. War
moth, which was read at the desk as
follows:
"NEw ORLEANS, Feb. 25, 1873.
To VIM. L. Mcmillan and Governor II.
Wormoth.
1t is not true that the country cher
ishes or are rapidly acknowledging
their adherence to the Kellogg Gov
ernment. The people in the country,
like the people In the city, will never
yield obedience to that government. 1t
can never collect taxes, and it can only
be maintained by force. That force
will have to be United States troops,
stationed in every parish to enforce the
authority of the Government. This
Government can only be sustained by
an actual conquest OF the people, and
that this Was the kind OF force which
the people would submit to rather than
have militia.
This dispatch was signed by a large
number of citizens who according TO,
Mr.. Mcmillan are leading men in the
country parishes.
Mr.. Morton then addressed the Sem
ate in opposition to the bill, and said its
passage would be rsught with direful
consequences. He denied that the
McEnvry government had the least
shadow ofa title, and said it was up.
held by very small faction. He said
with very few exceptions, the Kellogg
government was now being recognized
throughout the State.
Mr.. Carpenter Of Wisconsin, was un-
sparing in his denuncistion of the acts
Of Governor Warmoth, and he asserted
that the McEnery Government rested
upon fraud. He also denounced the
interference Of Judge Durrell Is utter
ly without warrant OF law, and con-
dem ned the support ofthe military CIV
en- to the Kellogg Government He
declared, however, that there was no
ground whatever, for censuring the
President.
In reply to Mr.. Mortons assertion
that with the recognition ofthe Kellogg
government the people would submit
in ten days. He said, OF course they
would submit, but it would be the order
that reigned in Warssw. The repub-
lican party could not afford to do the
injustice Of recognizing this Kellogg
government. He could not 60 before
the people OF Wisconsin on that point,
though, perhaps, the Senator { (Morton)
could before the people of Indiana If
he satisfied them he Mr.. Csrpenter)
hoped be would come over to Wisconsin
and help them there,
