Louisiana Affairs,

New YORK, January 4.--The Post this af-
ternoon says: "Dispatches from New Or
leans report that the Warnloth faction have
not yet abandoned the fight. Warmoth'S
leadership, to be sure, ended with his official
life, at the close Of the old year; but it is said
that the Democrats and Republicans who
were elected to the Legislature OH the Libe-
raj ticket propose Monday to inaugurate Mr..
McEnery.
"This has given rise to many alarming stO-
ries about probable violence and bIoodshed,
which no doubt many of bad spirits on both
sides would welcome, but it is probable that
no attempt at violent proceedings is contem-
plated. If NlcEncry men meet peaceably
and organize the state Government, as some
say they intend to do, simply to make up Il
case for the courts, they must not be consitl-
cred necessarily rebels.
"If the Pinchback party clnnot tolerate ju-
dicial controversy that is Il sign that they
have no confidence In their own cause. An
investigation ought to be had of the polti-
cal affairs of Louisiana, for it is by no means
clear who is right, il there is any right in
volyed."
New ORLEANS, January 4, 1S13.-The sub
committee have reported, giving an account
of their actions ut Washington, and eX-
pressing their views respecting the present
condition of affairs. The report says they
have laid before the President an impartial
and truthful history Of the extraordinary
events which have transpircd in Louisiana,
and that they confidently expect that
Congress will appoint Il committee to
investigate the facts of the case. The
committee does not doubt but that
such Il committee must admit and report to
Congress the necessity tor prompt and conf
plete relief. They advise the Lyceum Hall
Legislature to assemble OH Monday in order
to pcrpetlate its legal existence, and recon-
mend that the people extend to them their
moral support and earnest sympathy, and
such material aid as may enable them TO
assert and maintain by legal means the rights
of the people to local selt-government.
The committee states that the President,
while maintaining the propriety Of the
course which he has pursued, has not pro-
(essed to consider his action rs final dcci-
sion of the questions at issue, but has re-
mitted them to Congress to render such relief
us the case may seem to require. The President
and Attorney General both assure the COM
mittee that any investigation made by Con-
gress will meet with no opposition from the
Administration.
Acting-Goycrnor Pinchback has signed the
bill passed by the Kellogg Legislature enti.
tied IN act to suppress rotous and unlawful
assemblages.
a two-column address to the people, signed
by Pinchback, is published to-day, in which
he warns the people against the opposing
party. He charges them with intending to
violate the existing government OF the State,
and claims that these parties are without a
determined and ascertalned official status.
He asserts that their organization suggests a
violation of law and obstrrcts the authority
of the State in the exercise Of its legitimate
functions, He claims they are guilty Of trea-
son against the State and are dsturbers of the
public peace, and must be dealt with us
such. lie declares that their Legislature
shall not meet, but that the one recognized
by himself and the President will meet and
perform its legislative functions. He pro-
misses to array the whole force OF the State
and the United States against his opponents,
and adds: Il am determined they shall not
prevail" .... ..
