MORTON ACTIVE, AND CARPENTER WILLING TO
BE CONVINCED.
gFRoM SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE rRIBuSBl
EEw-ORLEANs, Sept. 29.-Another batch of the
captured correspondence of Kellogg was examined
by the correspondent of THE TRIBUNE to-day. Be
yond the letters Of Butler and Carpenter, nothing
has vet been found which shows the application for
OF receipt of money by members of Congress, but
there is much exhibiting the inside history of the
Jouisiana case and the means by which
the carpet-baggers cOnspired to faSten Kel-
looc's usurpatiOn upon the State Evidence OF
the manner in which the Secretary of the Ma
tonal Republican Executive Committee turns
an honest penny is afforded by the following letter.
Billings of whom he speaks so highly, and who
speaks so highly of him in letter heretofore pub
Hshed will be remembered as Kelloggs leading
eonnsel OF course nobody supposed that all the
money received by Chandler went into his own
pocket; but ] find nothing in the correspondence
before me to sustain the charge that he was a
partner of Gen. Butler. The following is the
letter:

The Hon VIM. P. Kellogg, New Orleans, La.
Billings seems to have been a very valuable man,
and nobody knows how many of the brilliant
speeches on the Kellogg and Pinchback side may be
attributed to his pen Under date of Dec. 6, 1879,
he writes that he has prepared brief for Morton at
the request of the Senator and that he Morton Will
go iuto committee fully prepared. The only letter
from Morton to Kellogg shows only lively interest
in NV dear Kelloggs' case; gives some advice as
advising NicEnerys impeachment says perhaps
Kellogg was right in view of all the circumstances
in not doing So
AK johnson, writing Dec. 4, 1873, announces that
he is quietly opposing the calling of any more wit
nesses. This gentleman reports Logan indifferent,

SQUARE uD TO us Found our friends at st. Louis all

adds at is prudent always TO understand what
kind of a witch one is to swap his devil for All OF
which is very Complementary. But the President
was not always in the same mood hence these re-
fections from Congressman B. Darrall on the 18th
OF January of the present year:
No talk about new election this week; and !
hardly think any further action Will be taken py

And then he adds in prophetic voice. ana the
man who attempts TO raise 1t is damned oypner
savagely assails Senator West in the same letter,
and after quoting some of his sayings with contempt
remarks West mentioned another idea which
will give for what it is worth. 1t is this: That
the men in the Senate ambitious for the Presidency,
aud therefore desirous of beating Grant, will be
easily influenced against you, on the ground that
you will control Louisiana and IN Grants interest
But Sypher thinks this is some of Vests DOsh."
Assistant Attorney General Dbble OF louisiana,
speaking of victory IN the House, alludes ex-
uItngly TO the fact that the old respectabies APP
peared at a great disadvantage" He also says:
am afraid that our friends are little TOO nuch
disposed TO push faster than Morton desires. This
they cannot do successfully; Morton holds the
key TO the situation and we must 90 no faster than
he consents. We saw Carpenter to-day. lie Is not

Billings and ! are to see him on Sunday. when we
will go over the whole subject with him."
1t appears that while these fellows were all work
ing for the sub1ugation of their State they hated
zach other right heartily Their letters abound in
charges against each Other and n tales TO Kellogg
