NEW YORK, Oct. 29-The Herald's New
Orleans special says that the Conservative
leaders have decided to commence criminal
proceedings against Kellogg, Longstreet, Badger

charge will be conspiracy ON the 14th of Sep
TENDER against the lives of citizens while in the
exercise of rights guaranteed under the cousti-
tuition in removing and protecting arms. Aft
davits are being prepared, and two United

Carpenters and Buffers Fees.
The same correspondent states that a friend
of Carpenter in New Orleans has obtained a
letter from McEnery, expressing belief that
Carpenter acted in the Louisiana matter con-
scentiously. Kellogg wrote short one certi-
flying that the money paid Carpenter was as
attorneys fees. A friend of kellogg knows
that Kellogg only agreed to pay Carpenter $500,
and alleges that the procuring of the other
$4,000 was an outrageous proceeding; that
Buffers act was like a s'stand and deliver
argument that he did not even have the
excuse of having been retained in the case, and
every cent he got was entirely unearned in any
service whatever

use OF his name in documents found in Wash
ington, connecting Morton and others in money
transactions, was unwarrantable. Edward
MCPHERSON, Clerk of the House of Representa-
tves, also prints card, saying he knows
nothing of the transaction referred to in the
dispatches concerning Louisiana affairs.

ternoOn collision occurred between Gov. KEEL
logg and Maj. e. A. Burke near the corner of
Rampant and Canal streets. Gov Kellogg ac-
companied by Judge Atacha, was going home
in cab which was stopped at tho .placs above
mentioned and conversation ensued. Burke
put his hand in his vest and drew whip with
which he attempted to strike Kellogg, when
the Governor pulled out pistol, firing the shot
barely grazing Burke, who whereupon drew a
revolver and fred three or four shots without
effect. The cab in which were seated Cover
nor Kellogg and Judge Atacha was then driven
off. Gov. Kellogg states that when Burke ap-
preached the cab he (Kellogs) extended
his hand which Burke took and at the same
moment seized him by the wrist with the other
hand and attempted to pull Kellogg out. But
the Governor being the stronger of the two
quickly released himself from Burkes grasp
and at once drew his pistol and fired. Cover

Major Burke was arrested and taken to the
central police station, but was released by in
