Anew Election in Louisiana.

The House judiciary Committee has in
structed the subcommittee to prepare bill
for new election in Louisiana. The dis
cllssion showed that such bill would be
similar in its general features to that re-
Gently offered in the House by General But
Ter, with the addition of clause making it
a criminal offence to carry arms or concealed
weapons at any election-poll. Members of
the committee have information that if the
bill is reported TO the House plan will be
proposed as a substitute providing for
provisional government under the control oil
the military force Of the United States until
the time Of the next legal State election.
The committee will hardly endorse this FRO.
position, nor will it be likely to develop
much strength upon the floor, there having
ncen good deal of wild defamation in
some Democratic organs about refusing to
let the appropriation bills be passed until the
troops were withdrawn from Louisiana.
There have been reports current of the in
lention of the Democrats in the House to
tilibuster against the appropriation bills, SO
as to force the calling of the next Congress
Immediately upon the expiration Of the pre-
sent term. Leading Democrats, however,
emphatically disclaim any such intentions,
and as a proof point to the fact that an
appropriation bill was passed yesterday
which might easily have been delayed

ing to-day. He is most emphatic in urging
that no appropriations be made in excess OF
the known revenue uf the State, so that the
practice shall be to pay as we 60. He sug-
gests plans for paying the past Indebtedness
of counties, but in view of the heavy bur-
den on the people is iDiexbly opposed to
the liquidation at present of the floating in
debtedness of the State. He recommends
that steps be taken to secure competent
teachers for public schools; that justices of
the peace be elected by the people; that a
law be passed providing for the registration
of voters; that expenses of all kinds be cut
down that contingent funds be abolished !;
and that the plan of cumulative voting be
applied to all municipal elections, so as to
test the practical working Of minority repre-
sentaton. In conclusion, he says:
a feel warranted in congratuatlng the
General Assembly and our fellow-citizens
generally on the evidences already pre-
sented of purpose on the part of all good
citizens 20 aid the present Administration in
its efforts to restore and enforce good 60
vernment in our State. 1t is not too much
to say that every substantial interest of our
people has already revived under the belief
that our public trusts will be honestly adj
ministered.
II acknowledge with gratitude, in the
common interest of our whole people, the
many proofs which have received OF the
sincere purpose Of those who did not sus-
tain me in the late election to sustain the
measures and policy announced in my in
augural address. 1t betokens q practical
unltcation, in its best sense, Of our two
races.
"The most suspicious day for our State
will be the day which finds all our people so
united in their regard for the public veal
that the advent to power Of any political
party shall not endanger the liberties or the
material interests of any class Of our fellow
citizens"
The message is warmly commended by
both Conservatives and Republicans, and is
regarded as proof that Governor Chamber.

policy marked out in his inaugural address.
The adjustment Of the State debt is pro-
crossing rapidly. The State Treasurer re-

LOUISA COURTHOUSE, VA,l
January y, 1875.
Yesterday was our regular county court
day. Not as many people present as usual.
No business of importance in court. A few
slight skirmishes, caused by King Alcohol,
bat no serious casualties. Some land was
sold. One hundred and thirty.seven acres
were sold to Mr.. Walker at $l.75 per acre.
Pretty dull court-day.
The people here are very indignant over
the aff4irs in Louisiana; bat it is not sur.
prising, as Grant is well known and Sheri-
dan, too, now.
The colored people are engaged in taking
subscriptions for their new church, to be
built here before long.
A new Masonic Lodge was put in work
ing order at Fredericksbali, in this county,
last Friday night. Officers were elected, and
1t was decided to name 1t Murray Lodge.
Several Masons went from here.
For several days the weather has been 10"
tensely cold, and the people are getting ice
this morning. By tbe way, our postmaster
should not shut Us out 10 the cold now. he

of Pinchback as Senator.

New ORLEANS, January 12.-The Kellogg
Legislature to-day adopted concurrent re-
solution to go Immediately into the reelec-
ton of Lieutenant Governor Pincbback as
United States senator, in order to silence all
doubts and questioning as to his title to a
seat in that body. So suddenly was this
movement made that Pinchback's opponents
were apparently struck dumb.
No efforts being made to check the pro-
gramme, Pinchback was placed in nomina-
ton and received the following votes: Sem
ate, is to 5; House, 4S OF. A joint session
will be held tomorrow for an official can
vass. The reelection OF Pinchback brushes
the hopes of several aspirants of the custom
house wing, who are said to be especially
disappointed at the turn affairs have taken,
and the belief is now that they will favor
reconstruction or q new election.

ties the arms belonging to the State, or that
they have in any sense disarmed. On the
contrary, it is known that the same armed
organizations that existed on the 14th
of September, 1874, in, opposition to
the recognized State government, still re-
tain their organization, equipments, and
commanders, and can be called out ut any
hour to resist the State government. Under
these circumstances the same military force

sent there under the first call, and under the
same general instructions. repeat that the
task assumed by the troops Is not pleasant

Of lawyers capable Of judging at moments

maintenance of law and order; and that it
was impossible to give specific instructions
providing for all possible contingencies that
might arise. The troops were bound to act
upon the judgment of the commanding
officer upon each sudden contingency that
arose, or wait instructions, which could only
reach them after the threatened wrongs had
been committed which they were called on
to prevent. 1t should be recolected, too,
that upon my recognition of the Kellogg 60
vernment reported the fact with the grounds
of recognition to Congress, and asked that
body to take action in the matter; otherwise
should regard their silence as an acqui-
escence in my course. No action has been
taken by that body, and have maintained the
position then marked out. Ii error has been
committed by the army in these matters it
has always been on the side of the preserYa-
ton of good order, the maintenance of law,
and the protection of life. Their bearing re-
fleets credit upon the soldiers, and if wrong
has resulted the blame is with the turbulent
elements surrounding them.
/ now earnestly ask that such action be
taken by Congress as to leave my duties per-
fectly clear in dealing with the affairs of
Louisiana, giving assurance at the same
time that whatever may be done by that
body in the premises will be executed ac-
cording to the spirit and letter OF the law,
without fear or favor.

Hamilton G. FAINT testified that be did all
ne could to secure the subsidy. Whenever
he met gentlemen he talked about it. he
advocated it through members, and soms-
times he would send others to see members.
He sent George w. Wiley, OF New YORK, 10
see Representative Beck, but that amounted
to nothing. Irwin agreed to give aim
$4,000 for advocating the subsidy. Wit
ness used all the means he could to secure
the subsidy.
