lied the Senate i'll accordance with the
decree of the United States courts,
against the protests of a majority of the
| old Senators holding over; that tho
House of Representatives organized
that evening without investigation as
| required by the statutes of the State,
impeached the Governor and suspend
ded him from Office; that this Senate,
so organized, was at once organized in
| to q Court of Impeachment and cited
! the Governor to appear, that Pinchback
! then broke into the office of the Cover
nor, seized the archives OF the State
and, under the protection of these
troops, continued to hold possession un-
| til Kellogg was inauguratcd, ana ne
elected to tho United States Senate, in
tho face Of an injunction from the State
court restraining him from so doing;
that the State Government and lIegis-
lature recognized by Gov. Warmoth,
and subsequently by Gov. McEnery,
is recognized and supported by almost
all the taxpayers of the State by all
who voted the Fusion ticket, and by
large number Of other persons, promi-
nent among whom arc Messrs. Oglesby,
President of tho Louisiana National
Bank; Summers, President of the Cres-
cent City National Bank; Schneider,
President of the Germania National
Bank; Kennedy, President of the State
National Bank; Van Nordcn, Prcsi-
dent of tho Louisian Savings Bank;
Buckner, one of the largest Taxpayers
in Louisiana; Lafayette Folgcr and
many others, all of whom are known
or believed to have voted for General
Grant, Kellogg, and others Of the Re
publican State ticket, besides eight out
of thirteen of the Republican Senators
holding over.
That the judicial reorganization which
the Kellogg Government has, is only
from tho Superior Cont, Mr.. Hawkins,
Judge of which, was Il mcmber of and
assisted the Lynch returning board in
making it's baselcss and fraudulent re-
turns, and who was subsequently APP
pointed Judge of the court created by
the Pinchback Legislature by an act
|abOlishing the Seventh and Eighth
District Courts, the Judges Of which
were elected by from 10000 to $1,000
majority at the last election, and from
three out of five Judges of tho Supreme
Court, which may be assumed were in
fiuenced by the reckless determination
ofitfe Pinclbacl Legislature to abolish
their court or to address them out of
Office, unless they should give them
unclf fccOSniIatlOn, ana VINO MI. casey
declared in his dispatches, dated long
before their decision, to tho President,
that the Supreme Court is with us.
Tho official returns, promulgated by
the Governor and now in possession Of
tho committee, show that II E'usionists
and 81 Republicans were elected to tho
House of Representatives. There were
Is Fusionists and 4 Republicans elected
to the Senate, who, with the lscpubli-
cans and Democrats in the Senate hold
ing over, made Il Republican majority
III the House of Representatives of 81
members. That Mr. McEncry was
elected Governor 10y IL majority and
his ticket by 4 majority nearly the
same. j believe tho committee is de-
termined to givo the fullest and f,irest
examination of the whole subject and
will report some just AMI satisfactory
solution OF the difficulty. Tho COM
mittce is composed of Senators Morton,
of Indiana, 1'rumbulI and logan, OF
Illinois, Carpenter, OF Wisconsin, AL
corn, Mississippi, Hill, of Georgia, and
Anthony, Of Rhode Island.
