ANOTHER EXCITEMENT IN TIE Leg

ANOTHER EXCITEMENT IN THE LEGISLATURE.
NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-Much discus
sion and some excitement was produc, in
political circles to-day by the report, which
proved true. that the Conservative caucus
bad resolved to seat in the House Charles Del
Hommer and Felix VOORHEES,, Of St. Martin
0. l.. Collins, OF st. Helena ; and G. B.
Burkhart. of the Seventh Ward of New Or
leans (all Democrats)L and who were declared
elected by the Returning Board, in the place
of Martinez, Rocheon, Floyd, and Richards
(Republcans), who were seated in the Hahn
House after the withdrawal OF Speaker WiltZ
and his followers in January.
The Conservatives contend that all Cor
servatives returned By the Returning Board
were, under the award, to be seated; while
the Republicans contend that these four men
were not to be disturbed.
Marshal Packard stated to-day that IL the
four Republicans were ousted the Senate
would adjourn for three days, and if ut the
end of that time they were not reseated the
Senate would adjourn sine die.
The seating Of Del Hommer, VOORHEES,,
Collins, and BuIkhart In the House will give
the Conservatives a majority on joint ballot.
Mr.. Packard also says that the Republic
cans did not and would not agree to any al
rapgement which would deprive them OF the
majority on joint ballot. Another political
crisis is imminent, as there seems to be DO
doubt about the seating of these members
Tomorrow or on Wednesday.

Of the Richmond DISPATCH

LoUDoUS, April II, 1875.
After deluding ourselves with the hope
that The long, dreary winter was fairly over
here. it is back upon US in a cold snap which
threatens to bring to nau2ht the little out.
door work which has been accomplished.
Happily, vegetation is so backward that Jack
Frost finds little to nip; but the few stalks OF
asparagus that ventured their snowy beads
above ground were frozen stiff this morning.
Wheat has not suffered from the cold winter,
but looks as well as usual at this season, and
the grass seemed to spring up as by magic
ia response to the first warm sunshine.
II the amount of land offered for sale or
forced into market is to be taken as a test Of
the financial condition of our county, the
outlook is not very cheerful one. Many
sales were effected at April court, and much
land Withdrawn for want of purchasers.
"Oakham," fine farm near Middleburg,
containing 500 acres, was sold to William FL.
Rogers at $40 an acre; and d" Hays" tract
of l 600 acres, on the Mattaponi river in King
George county (betore the war valued AT 500,
brought Sc an acre; purchaser, Major b. T.
holland. Many fine farms are still in market,
aud in no part of Virginia can more desira-
bic homes be found-with only this draw
back, that there is only one railroad in the
county, and never yet has been "speling-

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatcll.l

CURL's WHARF, April 10, 1875.
Our section was visited Yesterday by the
heaviest snow-storm of the season, accom-
panied by very cold weather, the thermome-
ter this morning indicating 70 degrees.
Vegetation, which had made considerable
progress, is badly used up, early vegetables
and young clover cut down, and the fruit all
killed. Wheat, lam happy to say, sustained
no visible injury. The clover will make a
fresh start, and probably come out all right
in the end.
Rev. DR.. Bennett, Of your city, preached
Il fine sermon at Willis's church. near this
place, yesterday. Owing to the inclemency
of the weather the congregation was small.
This morning, on his return TO the city.

started too far up stream TO drink, and mired
very badly. TIE Doctor was forced (veiy
reluctantly to take water" about two feer
