ALL ABOUT THE COMPROMISE.
Saturday Mornings Bulletin.

There were many TWHIOIS CuTIcHJ
off the streets last night about the
action or the Conservative caucus,
then in session, debating the sub
ject of;enccting an adjustment OF
The present political difficulties.
w to II o'clock these was =
heavy debate in which all the prom
inent leaders Of the Conservative
party took part. The proposition
offered, as stated by our informant,
was that the Conservatives should
have a majority Of about ten in the
House aud that the past action Of
the Kellogg government should not
m inquired into.
The debate was kept up until
about midnight, and when y vote
was taken as to the proposition Of
ferrcd, the vote stood thirty eight
in favor OF this compromise to
twenty seven against it. After the
ballot had been taken that sterling
patriot, j.. A. Wilt, announced
that he rendered his resignation :
for the reason that he believed his
constituents elected him to repre-
sent them truly and fairly.
After this, Gov. McEncry who by
courtesy was allowed to he present,
stated that he had borne the ban
mcr OF the Democracy for two years
as proudly to the front as his abili-
ties permitted him, but the action
OF til" caucus was evidence to him
that it was time to lower it, and he
wished to retire.
IT we are correctly Informed, the
action taken last night is, in u de
gree, an acqu:e>cence in the gov.
cr,.men. Of that taal.l and nsurping
trickSter, by the grace Of the vice
ccrcnt Durcll, called GOV. Kellogg.
Saturday Evenings Bulletins Extra.
The announcement made in the
Bulletin this morning that the Con
scrvatives members Of the LyiSla.
tnre, in caucus assembled, had last
night accepted the proposition
rendered 10y the Republican mem
bcrs of the Congress Onal Commit
tee, which contemplates the rcog-
milton Of the Kellogg uSnrpation
and Michael Hahn as the legal
Speaker of the House, created the
most profound a'nazemcnt and dis
gust.
The TACT that the announcement
was not made in any other paper
led many to hope that it was IN
foundrh--a sad and horrible mis-
lakc-but inquiries soon proved
that the BulIctiM had not even told
halt he dreadful and humiliating
truth.
1t appears that the matter is even
than we imaSined-tl'at thirty
eight persons elected by the people
10 represent their interests and TO
combat to the death the Infamous
usurpation set up by Grant, VIII,
liams, Morton, Durell Il Co., have
SolenInly agreed to vote for a joint
resolution
RECOGNIZING THE KELLOGG UsUR-
PATTON,
and acquicscing in the same the
balance OF his term. They further
i have solcmnly agreed to abstain
from ar1aigning Kellogg for any of
his actions in the past in other
Words they have consented to con
done his crimes, however out
laseous they may he, and great as
we know them to be, and to walk
into the the
BARRICADEaD STATE-HOTSE
virtually hand -sut1cd to take seats
in a House presided over by Michael
Hahn. These are the plain, TN
vanished facts; this is the shame
fnl action Of men in whom the peo-
pie of Louisiana rcpoSed faith, and
in whose kcepir Z she believed her
fair fame and honor were safe. The
thing-thc odions thing-which the
Radical caucus in Congress declined
to do by an Overwhelming vote
the recognition. of Kellogg as the
Governor OF UouiSiana--has been
done by the majority OF the Con,
servative members Of our House.
The people will not submit to
this action, but:will
REriDIATE IT
and hold the men who have done
this thing accountable for their acts.
1t is gratifyingto know that Gov.
John McEner{, Speaker !. A..
Wilt, and Representative MEard
Booth fought ~ renously agam it the
humi|iating action and plead with
the members earnestly to recede
from the position they had taken.
In the name5fiof the whine people
of Louisiana, il the name Of the
fail minded people Of the country,
who have nobl y made the cause Of
Louisiana theft own, in the name of
