told that thousand dollars would be a
GOd-send-The demand comes after the
Senator's Ne1O- Orleans Investigation and
before his report.
NEw-ORLEANs, Sept. 29.-The following
is copy of Senator Carpenters letter to
Gov. Kellogg. A great deal of difficulty
was found in obtaining it, owing to the
unwillingness of some of the Conserva-
tive leaders to use it against Mr., Carpen-
ter:
DEAR KELLOGG l am desperately
short. Can't you send me $1,0OO2 If so,
it would be God-send. rI y
Yours truly, MATE. H. CARPENTER.

My DEAR KELLOGG: l have yours of
Oct. 10. Since that time have had a.
conference with Mr.. Billings and Judge
Durell. and have endeavored to learn the
situation with reference to Louisiana mat
ters. The aspect of affairs are indeed
gratifying. 1 don't know of anything
which remains to be done to give you
complete recognition and victory here
except the admission of Senator Pinch
back, which / trust will take place with
out any considerable delay. Mr.. Billings
is to return, and is the fittest person, all
things considered, to represent Louisiana
interests. I do not consider that any
considerable headway will be made in
the impeachment of Judge Durell, am
giving that subject attention, and have
learned what yon have done for other
counsel here during my absence, and am
very much gratified that you were able
to respond to their demands. The larg-
est demand, whether reasonable or not,
it was expedient for you to meet, as you
did. Much would have been saved if it
had been responded to yearago accord
ing to my request. Of the $1,000 sent
Mr.. Cushing, he gave me 81 900. l GER
tainly expected that when you got able
you would pay me something, for gave
diligent attention to your affairs all last
winter, and did not expect to call for COM
pensation, unless the time should come
for you to be able to renderit You must
not now forget or neglect me, but must
make me remittance, and it ought to be
as large as you send or have sent to any
body else. earned no money last win
ter, and have metsome pretty heavy loss
es lately which must make up. / have
explained the subject fully to Mr.. Bill
ings, who can give you my ideas more
fully than | can write them.
Congratulating you upon your success,
now almost finally and completely achiev-
ed, remain always your friend,
MN. E. CHANDLER.
