The party which this committee represent
assert, in advance o1 the official canvass,
that the vote in November resulted in ma

the count shall so fesult, no matter what
the facts may be. They apprehend that it
will not so result because among the returns
thrown out for fraud are some that returned
Conservative majOrities, and because the
members of the Returning Board who are
acting under oath do not do as the outside
politicians want them to do, they are de-
nounced as minions of the ruling "usurpa-

The change in commanders at New Or

plation, has ne political significance, and 10
not dictated by any dissatisfaction with the
conduct of General Emory, either as an Off
cef or , private gentlman. The attitude OF
the government toward atfairs in Louisiana
is unchanged. yhere is no more and no
government than has existed ever since
Kellogg was made Governor. The respon-
siSility foS sustaining him in his office rests
now, as it did yeay ago, with Congress.
The insinuation Of che Louisiana people
here that Emory is to be displaced because
of HE sympathy with che Conservatives
and his personal and family relations with
the ex.rebels, are disgraceful to their au-
thors. General Emory is an old man, one
who remained true to the flag sgainst in
fluences which led other officers into the
rebel service, and Who has earned, by a
great many years OF faithful service 60 the
government, a. easier position than the
command he now holds 4 change. it is
understood, will be acceptable 20 him. The
proposition is not new, but has been uIder
consideration for como time, and at first
General Sheridan was Thought of to send
to New Orleans. while fresh troubles there
are possible as any time. There is now na

Kellogg. The subject will be again before
the Senate after the holidays, when the
resolution concerning Pinchback's election
will be taken up. and there will certainly
be no disturbances pending the DISCUSSION
