TE,e Efforts to Compromise the Louis-
lana Troubles.

leans dispatch says the proposition OF
the Conservatives, which is said to
have been accepted, was that General
Longstreet and Duncan f. Kenner re-
tire from the Retiring Board, but it is
not determined who of the other side
will fill the vacancies. 1t is under
stood that if the compromise be adopt
ed, the registration and election will
be carried on under the supervision of
an informal Advisory Board, to be
comprised of L. $. Marshal Packard,
b. f. Johnbert and NJ. NJ. F. Bonseals,
Republicans, and ex-Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor A. Voorhies and Major Ed. A.
Burke, Conservatives. The McEnery
people say this is a forlorn hope, as
enough frauds to beat them have al
ready been committed in the registra-
ton, but they are determined to fight
every step. 1t is still believed by
many that although the compromise
is agreed upon, it cannot be carried
into effect. Longstreet and Kenner
will not resign. The Board is now in
violation of law, as it is composed en-
tirely of Republicans. The Conserva-
tives asked that three members resign
and that their places be filled with
two Conservatives, while the fifth
member should be a Republican ac-
ceptable to both parties. This the
Republicans declined to do, insisting
upon having three of their own choice,
but agreed TO comply with the letter,
if not the spirit, of the law by giving
the opposition two members. On this
point the conference was broken up,
but the Conservatives proposed that
it be re-opened, feeling as they are
going into the election, it is better to
have two members than none. The
Republicans show a willingness to
go ahead upon the basis of this conces-
sion.
Senator West VS.. Gov Kellogg.
NEW YORK, Sept. Ex-senator West
of Louisiana has made public letter,
dated Sept. 9th and addressed to Col
lector Case of New Orleans, on the
political affairs of the State Govern
ment-Kellogg' abandonment of the
State executive office on the occasion
of the Penn revolution and the Gov
ernor's imputation of intentional
bomb-proof abscehticism on the part
of the friends of Senator West, he
(West) says many are of the opinion
that Gov. kellogg would have dis
played greater heroism and confidence
in his own right to the Chief
Magistracy, had he dismissed his, of
necessity, inefficient defenders and
stood alone in the maintenance
ofhis executive right, yielding them
only to personal election. If Governor
kellogg regrets my absence, he knows
that visited the North at his written
request, to lay before the President
the condition of affairs in Louisiana
and to solicit Federal support for his
government, when its integrity should
be imperiled. If he wants his politi-
cal friends who are absent to assume
the fighting garb, they might prefer
some other leader. Generally, the
Kellogg administration, since it came
into power, has been exercised in true
interests of the State. 1t is environed
with difficulties sufficient to dismay
the stoutest heart, and it has of late
received such shock as to make its
most determined supporters doubt
whether he is competent to exact obe-
dience to its authorities, even with
the assistance of the parent govern
ment.
In regard to the recent conference,
Senator West says: Propositions
looking to the avoidance of fraud in
elections, though eminently just and
by all means to be adopted, should be
preceded by promise and guarantee
on the part of the Democrats to pre-
vent murder, protect life, assure and
admit full expressions of opinion, and
to abstain from all intimidation OF the
colored people,"

registration and election; also to dis
countenance all acts, threats, personal
violence, and improper influences to
control the will Of the electors, and to
render assistance and use every effort

and carry out registration throughout
the State in behalf of all parties to the

officers, and in the manner
of conducting and carrying out regis
tration. Governor Kellogg, in the in
terest of fair and impartial registra-
tion, Of his own accord, pledges him
self to act upon the advice and sug-
gestions of the Advisory Committee,

are permitted by the existing laws of
the State. 1t was agreed that two
