Report Of the Louisiana Investigating
Committee.


WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE statement
telegraphed from the Republican that the
whole committee had started for New Or.
leans was wild. There is, however, I'm.
doubted discomfort. ~ Es.

of the report that Mr.. Potter, the Demo.
cratic member of the committee, has been
selected to phrase it. EEE.J .i.r
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Star says
"The full committee on southern affairs met

to New Orleans to investigate the condition
of affairs in Louisiana. 1t is indicated
through the evidence submitted that they
will report: LIST, that at the late election in
Louisiana there was no intimidation of col
ored voters; Cd, that the White League dis
cussed but voted down proposition to dis
charge servants who voted the Republican
ticket; Sd, that the Returning Board was
fraud; Alb, that the United States troops
executed orders issued by Marshal Packard
on election.day 9th, that the disorder in
the Louisiana Legislature had ceased and the
meeting was entirely orderly and quiet at the
time General De Trobriand entered the ball
to arrest the members; 9Th, that the only re-
quest Speaker Wlts made of General DE
TrobriaDd was to keep order In the lobby
outside OF the hall; 7th, that the people OF
Louisiana generally have no symrathy with
the Kellogg government, and that co!ored
men who say they are National Republicans
proclaimed themselves as State Democrats IN
order to get rid of Kellogg Sth,, that the po-
lice force in New Orleans is demorallzed.

Louisiana Investigating Committee.
w sHINoYvs, January 1o:-The ST boom
mittee appointed by the House Special Com
mittee on Southern Affairs, and which has
been investigating matters in Louisiana fo,-
some weeks past, returned TO Washington
last night. Its members-Foster of Ohio,
Phelps Of New, jersey, and Potter of New
York-are necessarily reticent as to giving
expression to their views in advance of their
presentation to the" full committee and of the
maturing and making Of its report to the
House. Enough is known, however, to au-
thoriZe the statement that there ts no con-
fict OF: opinion among the members Of the
subcommittee as to the principal points in
controversy. The action Of the Returning
Board in throwing out the returns of Ger.
tain parishes in which Conservatives were
elected and In giving certificates to some
Republicans who were not elected will be
condemned as an illegal and nnwarranted
exercise Of authority. ..-.l...G
The testimony taken before the committee
does not sustain the charges of violence and
intimidation towards negro voters, but
rather tends to establish the fact that large
numbers of negroes voted the Democratic
ticket from a conviction that in doing so
they were advancing their own interests and
the interests of the State. It is mere mat
ter of conjecture as to what course of policy
the committee will recommend, but the pro-
liabilities are that it will be in the direction
of a new election. a .f.a
The excitement in New Orleans when the
committee left that city was intense, but
there was no likelihood whatever of it being
manifested in any general outbreak. The
Kellogg Government Is submitted to only
under the pressure of the military power of
the United States and in the expectation and
belief that Congress will devise and adopt
some measure that will restore the Common
wealth to the control Of its own citizens.
