The subject about which there is the
most dispute is the registration of voters.
The McEncry people want the State reg

Republicans will not agree to. \ Repub-

FOUND IN KELLOGG'S PAPERS.
Out of the papers taken from Gov.
Kellogg's Office, much trouble is likely
to arise. Correspondence was discover
ed from the President of a leading social
club in Now Orleans, and owner of q
large plantation on the river, with Gov.
Kellogg, asking the Governor to use his
influence in securing the election to the
State Senate Of IL very Objectionable
carpet Dagger, whose Venality is motor
ious, while this same gentleman was
pretending to be i'll active support of one
OF his own party for the same position.
The correspondence will probably be
read publicly in the club tomorrow,
aud the expulsion of the president will
be asked on the ground that he is no
gentleman. This will very likely lead
to Il duel. ia
Many other little things of this kind
have come to light in this way, and the
number Of people who have each other
by the ears is astonishing.
BUTLER, CARPENTER AND KELLOGG.
The same journals Washington cor
respondent, in his dispatch Of the goth

a. few days ago it was telegraphed
yer the country from New Orleans that
Penn had found a number of dispatches
and letters in the State House or EXecu-
tive office from Ben Butler and Senator
CarpentertO kellogg, demanding money
from him III consideration of their fail
ure to press to Il passage the bill order
ing a new election in Louisiana, or some
thing to that effect. 1t is not believed
here thatany such documents were found
by anybody. 1t is known that Penn did
not find anything Of the sort either in
the State House or Executive Office"
a SERIOUS CHARGE.
The same dispatch goes on to say:
Butt is ascertained that a committee
of citizens belonging to the Penn fac
ton did form themselves into commit
tee to exercise censorship over the tcle-
graph, and they rummaged the files and
documents Ill the office, and made copies
or took the originals of all the kilograms
of Il political tenor of which there was
any record. The names of this commit
tee are in the hands of the authorities
here, andtley will probably be dealtwith
for the commission of an offiense which
it is believed, is made penal by United
States statute, and triable in. a United
