| of the Cabinet about Louisiana affairs
| is progressing. The message Will hot

The RCpublic0H OF to-day says: As
was stated in the RCpU5EcdH of Satur-
/ day, the majority OF the Southern Out
rage Committee are entirely dissatis-
/ fled with the action Of the Sub-Com-
mittee which had been sent to New
| Orleans. As the only possible way OF
mending the matter, they agreed to 90
! themselves as an entire committee and
/ take the necessary testimony. with
/ this end in view they arranged To start
| for the scene of their labOrs last night.
The following are the combinations
| Thackor, of Virginia as Commissioner
of Patents, and Spear, of Maine, as
Assistant; Hopkins, of Virginia, First
! Examiner. KiDgley, as Collector for
the Sth Virginia District; Bibb, as
/ Postmaster at the University of Nir-
ginia; Moore, as Postmaster at Bayou,

the majority, the Governor now re-
uUested the commanding General OF
the Department To aid him in restor-
ing order and enable the legally re-
turned members OF the House to pro
ceed with i;s organization according Z"
law.
This request was reasonable aud in
accordance with law. Remembering
vividly the terrible massacreS that
took place in this city on the assem-
bling Of the Constitutional Convention
in 1866, at the Mechanics Institute,
and believing that the lives Ct the
members Of the Legislature were or
would Toe endangered in case an organ
ilation under the law was attempted,
the posse was furnished with the re-.
quest that care should be- taken
that no member of the Legislature, r. e
turned by the Returning Board,
should he elected from the floor. This
misitary posse performed its duty uu>
der directions from the Governor
of the State, and unmoved from the
! floor of the House those persons who
| had been illegally seated, and who
| had no legal rights to he there, where
upon the Democrats arose and left the
! House, and the remaining member:
/ proceeded to affect an organization I'M
! der the State laws. In all this Turmoil
in which bluolshed was imminent
the military posse behaved With grea
discretion.
When Mr.. Wilt. the usurpius
Speaker Uf the House, called for troop
to prevent bloodshed they Were giver
him. When the Government of tn,
State called for "A posse for the Sam
purpose and to enforce the law, 1t wa
| furnished also. Had this moi heel
done, it is my firm belief that, scene
of hloodshed would have ensued.
