THERE is WAR TN THE
ATMOSPHERE.
KELLOGG ON THE RAMPAGE.
He Threatens Major E. A. Burke.
and Fires at Him.
Burke Horsewhips the Usurpel
and Fires Five Shots at Him.

The publication of Kellogg's letter to Major
E. A. Burke, chairman Of the Registration
Committee, in which cowardly attempt
was made to injure Major Burke, by
charging him with being a Republican,
induced Major Burke to demand of Kellogg
an explanation for such an insinuation.
Seeing cab passing with Kellogg, Major
Burke stopped it, and after asking a
few questions, commenced cowhiding
the precious carcass Of the usurping Gov
ernor, who finding it very warm and uncom-
| Portable, drew pistol and fired it at Major
Burke. This shot was returned by the Major,
who fired in return five shots
The cab being then driven off rapidly the
shots failed to take effect, and for the third
time Kellogg escaped with his worthless life
Kellogg was accompanied by Judge Atocha,
who accompanied him to his residence on
Canal street.
After the firing Major Burke surrendered
himself to Detective Walsh, and was conveyed
to the First Precinct Station, where he was
soon after released no charge being made
against him.
A crowd of citizens rapidly assembled
where the difficulty occurred, at the corner Of
Canal and Basin streets, and proposed to res
cue Major Burke from the police, but he
discountenanced any such proceeding, and
quietly accompanied the officer to the station.
The affair produced the widest excitement,
but, Notwithstanding the severe test to which
our people have been subjected, and their
patience and forbearance, tried to an almost
uncomfortable degree By the outrageous conduct
of Kellogg there was no manifestation OF
violence suggested or attempted against the
author Of all our troubles, at a time and on
an occasion when he could ha We been easily
disposed of for all time to come.

GOOD NEWS FROM NORTH
LOUISIANA.
Conservative MajOrities Assured.
Especial to the Bulletin.1

SHREVEPORT, Oct. 29.-The most gratifying
reports are received here from every parish in
North Louisiana except Red River and Grant,
and even in those two prosecuted parishes
those men who have taken to the swamps
have determined to 60 to the polls and vote.
The colored vote in all this portion of the
State is terribly demoralized and refuse to
respond to the party lash.
Hundreds of them have at last opened their
eyes to some of the fruits of Radical rule, and
express a determination to vote with the
people upon whom they are dependent, and
large numbers say they will not go to the
polls. They registered because they attach
great importance to their papers, and seem to
regard them as guarantee of their freedom.
Caddo, DeSoto, Sabine, Claiborne, Bienville
and Richland parishes will give us at least
five thousand majority, while Bossier, Web
ster, Natchitoches and Grant will give tair
majorities for the White Mans ticket Our
friends in New Orleans can rely upon these
figures. Geo. L. Smith stated to gentleman
here that he had no hopes of election.

The Senate at present stands so Repub-
licans, 8 Independents, 20 Democrats and 1

sible for the Democrats to get majority in
1.-THE Senate during the next Congress. If they
were to secure all the seats which are yet in
doubt the Senate would still stand 43 Repub-
licans to 81 Democrats.
The political complexion Of the Senate can
not be changed until 1877, when the terms of
twenty-four other Senators expire.
These tables, if preserved until the day Of
election, will facilitate our readers in making
calculations upon the results as the returns
come in. We refrain from any speculations
as to results, which will soon be ready to
speak for themselves Never, perhaps, since
the organization of our Government, has
there been time at which the elections were
watched with so much anxiety as now, and
such momentous interests depended upon
them. An anti-administration majority in the
next House of Representatives OF the United
States will be a condemnation by the country
of the policy of the Radical party, which will
give it warning it will hardly dare disre-

BERLIN, Oct 29.-Session of the ReiGhstag
opened to-day by Emperor William. The
speech from the throne enumerates compre-
hensive measures to bring about uniformity
in judicial proceedings; the attainment of this
end, he says, will confer on Fatherland boon
long enjoyed by other countries Steps have
also been taken to secure kindred uniformity
of civil rights.
It is true that years will elapse before these
reforms can be accomplished, but the Empe-
ror rejoices to be able to-day to express con-
viction that the hopes Of the Government
and the country will be realized in not too
distant future.
Legislation in regard to the military system
of the empire will be completed by bills deal
ing with the landSttrn. and apportionment Of
contributions among the various States for the
maintenance of the army in time OF peace.
A general rise in prices renders the sums Of
money heretofore granted insufficient to meet
the expenses of the army and provide for the
improved equipments demanded by the adj
vance of military science. The budget Of
1875 will show the necessary increase Of CON-
tributions for this and other branches of the
Administration.
