/ To put the people OF Louisiana right
before the country. and give them as tair
a hearing as possible at the bar of public
opinion, we sketch briefly the history Of
that monstrous usurpation which has at
last eliminated in revolution.

Governor. AT the time the election WIS

Board of Canvassers divided. Lynch. a
negro. and one white man constituted
themselves the Lynch Canvassing Board
aud Warmctn and some Others the regu-

the official returns OF the election. The
Warmeth Board made due proclamation
of the election of the McEnery ticket
while the Lynch Board, not having any
returns, made the Kellogg ticket success

from what was claimed should have been
correct This Lynch declared under oath
at Washington, and with great glee. War
moth at once convened the Legislature.
Before II met. however. Kellogg obtained
from United States Judge Durell an order
peremptorily shutting the State House
doors against every member except those
holding certificates from The Lynch Board.
A quorum of bogus Legislators was thus
obtained, Warmoth was summarily inn
peached and deposed. Pinchbeck assumed
control, and the conspirators were ahead.
Again Durell appeared upon the scene.
He issued another order commanding the
United States Marshal to seize the State
House. drive out what McEnery officials
had got in. and turn the building over to
Pinchbcck. This was quickly done. Nc
Emery was also enioined by the same Du-
rell from even claiming TO be Governor.

lived on Tenth street in the same row with
Mrs. Maginnis. He moved in few days
ago. and Mrs. Maginnis had not had an

he came home the other afternoon he
thought he saw his boy playing in the gut
ter. aud he approached the youngSter with
the intent TO pick him up and carry him
into the house. The fact. however, was
that it was Mrs. Maginnis's boy. and that
cstimablc woman was watching him with

washing. When she saw Gillespie seize
