KELLOGG'S CROWD.

mors yesterday, and the members wer'
apparently well pleased with themselves anf
everybody else.
| HAHN's WING
went into caucus at about II 80 o'clock, ant
the doors remained closed for at least quar-
ter Of an hour.
The subject presented and discussed hat
reference to the claims of Pinchback for s
seat in the United States Senate, and the con
clusion reached was that he should be ere
elected"
It was 1890 before Hahn got through with
his talk with Pinch, and brought his boys te
order.
vigers announced ffty-fve members pres
ent, and as nobody disputed it, Hahn an.
nounced prayer as being down among the
opening preliminaries
This, as well as the correction and adoption
of the record Of proceedings of the preceding
day, were got through with, and Lowell
opened the ball by reading the act of Con-
gress providing for the election of Sem
ator.
Lowell made speech, in which he said
that as the legality Of the Legislature which
elected Pinchback had been questioned, he
thought, to make matters right and set at rest
all question Of the legality of the claim Of
Pinchback to a seat, that the present Legis-
lature should re-elect him, and that he had
been assured that if this was done Pinchback
would be seated.
Ross Stewart thought it incumbent on him
to say something. He gave the gratifying
information, "that when the first notes of
alarm sounded, and the whole North arose
en- masse to preserve the integrity of the Con-
stitution, the glorious old State of Louisiana
was not behind hand, and among the first to
buckle on their armor was Hon. P. B. S.
Pjnchback." Isn't this rather mixed p
Pinchback was accordingly reelected"
A committee was appointed to notify An
tones boys of the action of Hahns boys, and
to invite the former to meet the latter in joint
session.
Hunsaker, in accordance with previous no.
tice, introduced a bill detaching the parish of
St. James, of the Second Congressional Dis
trict, and attaching it to the Third.
1t went through to its third reading, and,
Notwithstanding the opposition of Hunsaker
went over to fixed day, Monday next)
Antoine's wing got ahead of Hahn's wing,
and through its Secretary gave notice that if
they desired, meeting would take place at
- o'clock to-day, to finish the little perform
ance called " Electing a United States Sen
ator."
Cain Sartain put in his appropriation bill,
looking to the raising of money to recon-
pense the gentlemen for their arduous labors.
It was ordered printed in the journal and
referred to the Committee of the Whole.
The report Of the Committee on Rules was
taken up, much to the satisfaction of Murrell, |
Of Madison, and disposed of much to Muir
rells dissatisfaction, because although he |
tried hard and faithfully, he could could not |
get off speech, the presiding genius, (Sauer,
to whom Hahn yielded the honors, persist
emily refusing to recognize him, and ruth
lessly and constantly rapping him to order
when he attempted to speak. He relieved
himself by many side remarks.
The disposition was postponement of its
consideration until to-day, and this action
Vas caused by the members getting muddled
over it. This disposed of, an adjournment
vas ordered.
ANToINE's CROWD
vas raped into order at IL o'clock.
Burch, on a question of privilege, intro
luced the following resolution:
Whereas, Hon. p B. S. Pinchback has been
elected United States Senator from this St ate
or the term Of six years, commencing March
|, 1873; and,
Whereas, said election was valid, the Legis-
allure making the same in our judgment not
dmitting OF amy doubt as to its legality,
nut as the validity of said Legislature has |
,een made the subject of partisan question !
ng in the Senate of the United States,
his State is thereby deprived of one of its
'enators.1 I therefore move that the Senate i;
70 now in the manner provided by law, as in ..
he case OF vacancy, proceed to re.elect Senator :
,. B. S. Pinchback United States Senator +
rom this State for the term which will expire :
n the 18th of March, 1879. in order that all ;
oubt or questioning Of the title of said !.
'inchback to said seat in the United States 5
enate be silenced.
Allan, Sypher, Weber and sundry others !
ad their little say, and the resolution went q
trough by vote of eighteen ayes for Pinch. !
. five blanks. Alexander, Blunt, Breaux, I,
ireen and Detige so voting.
Executive session was called for and the '
oors were closed. On its being raised, sew 7
raj veto messages from Kellogg were read =
nd laid over. An executive session was s
gain called and again the doors were closed. d
This thing of calling executive sessions,
nd seeing the crowd in the lobby urged out
y the Sergeant-at-Arms, push, mash, and t
cuss" in its frantic efforts to get out is o
bout all the fun the members have, and the I
'peated calling for it, though it is ridiculous,
nder the circumstances is justifable. t
On the executive session being raised, the A
Getting adjourned until IL o'clock to-day. =
