ORDER MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT FRANCE - M
PROVED FINANCIAL CONDTION-NECEssrrY OF
LEGISLATION on TIE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS
OF TIE GOVERNMENT
PARIS. Thursday Dec g. 1874.
The message of President MacMahon was dely-
cred to the Assembly this afternoon.
The President says order has been maintained
throughout the country. The relations with foreign
governments are on an excellent footing. France
has shown firm determination TO respect treaties,
and has gained the increased confidence of her
neighbors. No foreign power no doubts
her desire to maintain peaceful relations
with all nations. The financial position
Of the country has sensibly improved. At home,
thanks to good harvest, agricultural production
has reached an unprecedented figure. The export
trade has never been so large as during the last fo1r
months. Everything now favOrs the expectation
that these most satisfactory results will DC at least
equaled in 1876. The President insists strongly on
the necessity Of definite legislation with regard TO
the constitutional powers and continues follows:
Incessanty agi,ated by propaganda OF the most per-
nicous doctrines the country asks to guarantee. By
measures wise foresight, the regular action Of the
public powers during the period OF stability which you
promised France You will shortly examine these grave
questions. and understanding, hope, Will DO arrived

lDY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBrEE.l
WASHINGTON Dec. 3.-The object of Kellogg and
his friends from Louisiana in coming to Washing
ton at this time TO secure, before the holiday re-
cess, the passage of Joint resolution by both
Houses Of Congress recognizing the Kellogg Govern
ment in the State. Tkis seems to be the Last card
that Kellogg can play. If he fails in this,
his friends acknowledge that he VIII be
powerless to maintain himself. After the meeting
of the Legislature that body will be Conservative
in both branches and if they do not take advantage
Of the power that has been placed the hands Of
Legislative majority in that State by acts passed by
the Radicals they will be more than human. Ore
OF those acts gives to the majority the power to i'm
peach Governor, and to depose him until after
his trial. In this way Kellogg could be put out
of the way at once. Another plan, and one that is
more likely to be adopted. IS to provide for legal
count of the returns Of 1872, which are still in the
possession of the McEnery party, and the inaugura-
tion of Gov AlcEnery and Lieut.-Gov. Penn; The
Legislature would then receive message from
McEnery. and entirely ignore Kellogg. II is not
believed that the President would interfere
to sustain Kellogg under these circumstances, if
these events while Congress is in session and
the coup f6tdt is a peaceable one. The only hope,
therefore, which Kellogg has. is in such recogni-
tion by Congress before the meeting of the Leglsa-
ture as shall force the President to uphold him by
the use Of the army in opposition to any power that
NAV be brought against him. For this
purpose Senator Morton is now on his way to Wash
ington from San Francisco having left the springs
at Santa Barbara. where his health was rapidly I'M
proving, and where he intended to remain all Win
ter. If this question is raised before the holidays,
in either or both houses of Congress- It will be
most exciting topic of discussion. and Will not be
settled without a long and sharp debate. The
action Kellogg asks Congress TO take is Of most
revolutionary character. and would result in pro-
ducing worse state Of anarchy in Louisiana than
has existed there since 1872 The country would
witness the anomaly Of Interference by the Federal
Government to render null the acts of state Leg
slature VI whose legality there is question, when
those acts relate solely to local matters.
