In November, 1879, The election in Loulsana
for President, Congressman, Governor, and
State Legislature WAS set asi1o by tho notion of
Judge Duroll, Of Now Orloaus, by whoBo dreo-
ton tho United states troops aczol tho State

turo Of tho samo kind. Thoro woro thus two
Bota of Presidential Electors, Congressman. Log
islaturos, and sta.o ollicors. Cougross. In can-
washing tho vote for President, rejected tho voto
of LouiBiaua from the count altogether. The
Senate Committee subsequently reported that
tho wl,o1o election in Louisiana waB fraud /;
that tho pretended canvaos by which Kellogg
aud Ills friends were doclnro1 elected
had not tho least aemblaMco Of To-
gatity. In these conclusions Senators Norton
Logan. Carpenter. Anthony, Aloorn, ulll,
aud rrnmbull agreed. The Legislature called into
existence by Durcll's ordors mud tho interference
Of tho military elected =. D. 8. Pinchback to tho
United States Senate. Tho Senate rofunoa to
admit him, tho Com lnittco having reported TINT
tho Logiu1aturo by which lie claimed to hayo
boon elected was not a legal body. 1T tho cleo
ton in November, rinclback was candidate for
Congressman -at-Largo, and was dec!arcd elected
by the sumo fraudulent canvass Of tho vote.
At tie opening Of Congress-, tho two aotB Of
Congressmon presented themselves for admis-

catos OF o1sction from Gov. Warmoth aud the
other from GOV. Kellogg. Tho House, by q
