WASHINGTON L own" A.,
e.,a romm;ttee Of Elections anil Priv d
;,eoes shows that Messrs. Norton Al
corn. Anthony aud Logan will act to- :
oether. These gentlemen have given
no positive evidence Of their course.-|
is for McEnery, s"re' h'' I
ia for McEnery, and, as second cho'ce'
. new election. Carpenter is tor a ne"
election.
The adherents of McEnery claim that
had they sixty days they could make
his election sure, bnt are hopeless OF
favorable results this session. Those
who desire the stability Of the Kellogg
Government boast that there Is not
time this session to GUST the Kellogg
Government.
This, however, is shaky from the ap'
prel,ension of caucus action, which may
force a new election through. A close
studv of the committee shows that
Messrs. Morton, Alcorn and Anthony
are passive. Logau's views are not
clearly defined.
The result in the Senate depends up
on a breath, and in the house upon the
potency of the previous question. Al
fairs are mixed, and no probable solu-
ton of the Louisiana perplexity can be
telegraphed tonight.
1t may be said that the representa-
tiyes of the several Louisiana factions
are respondent of all hope for com"
. promise which will take the matter out
of Congress. The Kellogg faction seem
D most anxious for such result. Gene
= raj Mcmillan seems to favor new cleo
ton. while Governor Warmoth favors
o war to the knife.
g Il is understood that Senator Carpen-
: ter will prepare a report upon Louls'
Q ana, and that the report will be an
n elaboration of the grounds upon which
is he objected to the counting of the vote
o of that State for President. Yester'
davis action seems to have dashed tue
hopes of politicians generally.
p. The witnesses get some two hundred
Is and fifty dollars each.
j. Congressional leaders are studying
r. the machinery with which a new cleo
q ton NAV lie achieved with the 'eas
nt violence to the Constitution and Stat
n. rights.
t. In all probability a solution will b
A. forced and Louisiana will have ne1
s. election.
he WASHINGTON, February ID. I'll
e. status of the persons representing til
re Louisiana factions here, loosely state
ad in the noon report, is as follows: Mai
e. shall Packard is opposed to the propt
sition of the Fusionists. He wonl
To- like to have all the Fusionists returne
Ell by both boards take their seats, an
'"' any Fusion member wr0ngfu'ly excl'
ey dea by the Kellogg Board should
Z" seated.
VS. Governor Warmoth and General NJ
'Ve MILAN, who have made manly fig
for the McEnery interest, favor, frs
p,,. the recognition Of that Governme
.w and the seating Of the Senators e'ect'
~ by the Fusion Legislature. Failing
If this, they favor new Lrgislat"'
~ composed of State Senators ho'di
,;se over and Senators and members d
clared elected by both boards, the LIZ
islature thus organized to take the
da, fetal returns and fill vacant seats; a
: of this Legislature shall decide who
met Governor and Lieutenant Governor
. A. Failing in this, Governor Warmt
ace. and General Mcmillan favor an app
Dys. to the people of Louisiana under Fe'
raj auspices.
