HENDERSON CONDEMNED BY ONE OF HIS
OWN SENATOR'S.


OWN SENATOR'S.
Gen. Henderson had an appointment to
speak at Orion last Monday afternoon, A
gentleman from this city,who was present,
informs us that the village was unusually
full of farmers, with their teams, on bust
ness for Orion is getting to be quite live
ly business town. This gentleman tells US
that brass band paraded about town two
or three times to get up meeting tor Hen
derson. but that it was a dead failure, and
had to be given up. The people would not
attend.
IN the evening there was small meet
inp-apd at that meeting, if Henderson is
correctly reported in the Union, he claim
ed that the Republican party was not res
possible for the anarchy. bad government
and diabolical outrages in the Southern
states, and that 1.-The overthrow OF the Re
publican party at this time meant the over
throw of the reconstruction measures, the
assumption Of the rebel war debt the
placing of the names of Confederate sol
diers on our pension rolls, the ruin OF the
country and the virtual loss Of nearly every
thing gained by the war. This was the
burden of his speech.
Now let US see what one Of Henderson S
L. S. Senators says on that rolnt. Last
winter, when the affairs of Louisiana were
under consideration in congress, Senator
Carpenter, of Wisconsin, in opposing the
usurpation Of Kellogg, warned bis col
Leagues of the Republican majority Of the
consequences that must inevitably follow
its continuance in power through Federal
interference and aid.
His speech, delivered in the senate On the
9th of February, 1873, when senate bill
No. 1921, ITO establish a government in
Louisiana Republican in form, was under
consideration (Appendix to Congressional
Gl1Je, pages l93-2ll,) is commended to
the perusal Of rejecting Republicans, now
that Carpenter predictions have been
verified and Louisiana is experiencing the
deplorable consequences Of the Kellogg
Durell regime. Senator Carpenter, ad
dressing the senate, said
mir. PIesident-It is diiieulj to restrain
the indignation which such conduct on the
part of Federal Judge naturally inspires
The order was issued for 10 purpose but to
control the organization of a state leglsla-
ture, thing altogether beyond the power
Of any Federal tribunal or the United
States themselves to accomplish. 1t was
issued in open and sham 3less defiance Of
all law, and in utter disregard of the line
of demarcation between Federal and State
jurisdiction And ! will not trust myself
longer to dwell upon this most reprehon
sble usurpaton. n Why
does it Federal non-iuterferencu) result
that the McEnery government is to b,
recognized? Simply because it is conced
ed on all hands--the senator Norton aim
self concedes-that the returns which hav
been made show that government to b.
elected. There is nothing to show tina
Kellogg is elected-uothing whatever, |
Is conceded he was not.
