In the Senate to-day the proceedings were I'M
usually interesting. Senator Carpenter. the able
and versatile barrlster OF the West, resumed his
powerful argument on the Louisiana illegal cleo
ton case and as he proceeded to lay before the
body his comprehensive review OF the testimony
taken by the Committee Privileges and Eec-
tons one could not resist the impression that he
stood in the presence OF q grand supreme court,
where the surroundings had in them everything to
impress him. that he was witnessing one OF the
imposing scenes which take place In our legsla-
tton and stamp themselves indeliby in our
history as eventful features OF an epoch. he
renewed the assault commenced yesterday with
undated vigor and severity, and the conclusion
was irresistible that he had brought a proficiency
The legal profession TO an arrangement OF the
perhdious government Of Kellogg and the corrupt
decision OF Durell such as is rarely witnessed in
attacking great public wrong and the vindica-
t,on OF the legislative branch OF our government
IN providing safeguards for the assailed and I'M
periiled liberties Of our people. The Senate was
full every part, and, as yesterday, conspicuous
in the legal tabeau were General sherman, Mr..
Evarts, and scattered about here and there the
notorious actors in the drama OF bloodshed and
anarchy in which the State government OF Kellogg
was inaugurated. Mr.. Carpenter proceeded TO
show how censurable were the orders of Judge
Durel In support Of which he ably cited the facts
and the law, reviewing the official acts OF the ad
mintstration through Attorney General Williams
and those Of usurpation in New Orleans, reference
to which had been frequently made in kilograms
points were as follows:-That the President had
mover done any thing to recognize the Kellogg
Legislature, nor any one whatever in the State,
which could have the slightest legal effect The
Attorney General had been led into mistake and
had mised General Grant most stupidity and cu
pably, which action Carpenter stigmatzed in the
everest manner, retorting no less severely on
Norton at the frequent interruptions which the
after made. Carpenter did not think Morton
could teach him the law-and here Thurman and
Evarts silently nodded the strength OF Car
penter's legal propositions, as they did all through
when he drew unanswerable conclusions. But
Norton, like splendid and indomitable fighter,
was nothing abashed and he fought thus all the
way through, with the tenac1ty VI gladiator,
~ Carpenter made his fercest onslaughts.
The. latter discussed the difference IN the
Rhode Island case, SO far as executive
interference was concerned, and the existence OF
tnsurrecton which the Louisiana case Gid not pos
sess. The action OF Attorney General Williams did
not commit President Grant, and his proclamation
was simply issued without authority, but not In
violation OF law, and he did not regret 1t, but
thought IL had done some good. Viewing 1t in q
constitutional light there call for 1t in
proper form Of law, and hence it was nulliJy but
everything the President had done he had done
well. Considerable byplay here occurred between
Carpenter ana Morton in differences OF opinion as
to the evidence, and was witty and tantalizing
in the extreme while the other was persistent and
irritated and, as they came up smiling to the
scratch, like two pugists bent on giving each
other the worst ticks possible some quite ugly ex-
changes were had in which, however, due courtesy
was observed. Carpenter then gave notice
that he would introduce a bill Monday
looking to new election, as he insisted that Ke-
l0gg never was Governor and no Legislature had
ever been elected and the state Was now without
