The Reports in the Louisiana
alew 3. ~ Case

Attract much attention. All the reports
and all the committee condemn the con-
duct of Judge Dure!l as disgraceful,
void, and indecent; and it is thought,
after such a finding by six Administra-
ton Senators and one Liberal Senator,
all concurriDg, that the Administration
will not longer persist in the use of bay
onets to prop up the Kellogg usurpaiioa.
The reports Of Mr.. Trumbull and Mr..
Carpenter, are both regarded as very
able, and it is certain that Mr.. Carpenter
will add much to his reputation by his
action, and win the laurels which Nor
ton might have reaped If he had been
less OF partisan. Probably the hard
est of the work in this committee was
done by Mr.. Trumbull, who watched the
case from first to last with the closest
vigilance:
