The New Orleans Times of the 9th, Il
leading White League organ in Louisiana,
in the following extract from an editorial,
admit, and defends the act Of the Demo-
cratic Speaker in calling in L. :. troops
on the 4th inst:
Had not a Democratic Speaker appcal-
I'd "a the military authorities, sent for the
commanding officer and requested him to
clear, 10y the force under his direction,
the lobby Of the House. no one would have
thought Of military Interference. The
Democrats set the example they had the
troops marched in. and opposition mem-
berS becoming familiarizcd 10 the pres
cdcc OF soldiers were naturally nothing
loathe to take advantage of their power.
This, it now seems evident, Is 10 be- the
latest phase OF Misrepresentation perpe-
trated. AR. l. A. Witt, on reaching the
State Capitol, found the building filled
with metropolitan policemen and sur
rounded by troops, ostensibly present for
the preservation Of the public peace
When stampede of members occurred
and the officers OF the House were cndeay-
Oring to restore order, the Speaker discoy-
cred the metrOpoltans jerking the mem
bcIs by the collars Of their coats out Of the
chamber, and number OF indignant citi-
zcns apparently on the point Of resisting
what they deemed an outrage. For a mo-
ment the situation was indeed critical.
One act Of violence, pistol shot, or a
blow given, would have Precipitatcd a
conflict. Had the citizens and members,
without even attempting resistance, en-
deayOrcd 20 retreat, scores must have been
injured in the crush. 4 single mistake on
the part Of the commanding officer, or a
misrepresentation Of the situation, would
have resulted in scene OF bloodshcd I'M
parallclcd in our history. What, thcn,
could hc Ito but send for one whose au-
thority all the opposing elements respect.
II wa, the only measure which would
have Instantly restored tranquility, and
certainly all that remained % be- done.

FoRTUNATELY, the Congressional
Committee 10 investigate Lou
isiana affairs, was present in
New Orleans last Monday
and witnessed in person, some of
the exciting scenes which have occa-
stoned so much comment. The com.
mittee closed its labors and all the
members will arrive at Washington
to-day. The Democratic member
was expected yesterday, having left
New Orleans twenty-iour hours in adj
vance of the Others. We may expect
from the committee an early and full
report. We shall look for it with inter.
est. Upon that. Congress should act
promptly. The President has recog.
nizcd the Kellogg Government, and
must continue TO do so, until Con-
gress has taken action TO
the contrary. The solution
OF this vcxed question, precipitated
and agitsted 10y irresponsible politi-
clans in Louisiana rests with Con.
gress, and we trust that the report of
this committee may furnish basis
for prompt and Intelligent action.
Then let the country stand by the re.
suit whatever it may be.

HERE ARE several points in rela-
ton to the organization of the Louisi.
ana Legislature on the 4th, that should
not be forgotten in the midst of the
excitement Of the hour. 1t is well es-
tablished by the weight of evidence
that the Wilt Democrats did not have
a legal majority of the Legislature,
and that their proceedings in the or
ganization were in defiance of the
laws of the State and revolutionary
in character. This is borne out by
the special reports TO the Chicago
Times, Democratic, and by the cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
who sympathizes with that side. The
correspondent of the former paper
telegraphs rs follows:
1t is conceded that the Democrats made
a mistake in attempting u revolutionary
seating q their speaker. They had \ ma
jority OF on" and if they bad united on
Hahn, good man and Conservative would
have carried several Republicans with them,
and then could have controlled the House
without doubt.
The Commercials correspondent,
AN eye witness, says: The manner
Of the organization of the Anti-Kel.
lOgg Legislature was Clearly 'tnjus,if-
able."
The Cincinnati gazette correspond
cnt says:
1he Democrat, first created disturbance
aud first called for and had military inter-
| ference, not man of them, before or since
the trouble and not one Of their newspa-
pera has pretended that when the organiza-
tion Of the House took place the Democrats
were not in the minority, and yet they
claimed 10 have legally organized it.
This fact then, is established be.
yond reasonable question. The orig.
inal act was revolutionary and well
calculated in the existing order of
things in that State 10 provoke VIC.
lcnce.
The next point 70 keep in mind is
that the above illegal programme was
planned with the expectation of bring
ing about the collision that resulted.
The Cincinnati Guettc correspondent
on this point says:
They designedly sprung their revolution
ary trap yesterday, as the mot prominent
and best Of them now admit, not because
they expected 20 succeed for they knew
obey were in the minority and ought not 10
