overheard, if any feasible means can be
devised. The latest plan is to secure the
carpet bagger's resignation. By clause
in the Louisiana constitution of 1858, the
legislature is authorized to elect governor
from the body of the people in the event of
the death or resignation of the incumban
governor or lieutenant governor. For
some days Atty. Gen. Fields, of Louisiana,
who is in the city, has been looking up the
law to see what can be DONE He finds the
provision still in force, and the President
is now said to favor the resignation Of Kel-

view to the election of Sheldon. member
of the present congress, who, it is thought,
will be acceptable to all parties. Sheldon

congress has no power to order new elec
tiun, and believes the above plan furnishes
solution of the whole problem. Great
pressure will be brought to bear on kel-
