TALLY as already telegraphcd to the California
press.
Another Investigation to be Had.
| The committee on Southern affairs have de-
| termined in view of the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed with leaving the subject that has as
sumed such magnitude to the decision of
subcommittee, to visit Louisiana for the pur-
| pose of making further investigation of diff
! culties now existing in that State. The tes-
I timony taken by the subcommittee and their
report will be held in allegiance until the re-
| turn of other members of the committee

and Potter, who constitute the sub-commit-
| tee, will not go. The remaining members of

The Legislative situation i'm New or
leans.
CHICAGO Jan. 15-The IrtJune's New Or
| leans special says the Democrats are de-
pressed. They say they will meet tomorrow
TO organize a legislature and adjourn sine die.
| This will leave members free to enter the le-
gal legislature, which the Republicans are
anxious they should do. No legislation has
thus far been had of importance because Of
| the absence of Democrats. There was some
| talk today that five or six Democratic mem
| bers expressed themselves in private to GER
| tain Republicans as perfectly willing to be
captured by the scrgeant-at-arms and brought
in. where they could draw mileage and per
| diem, but when the sergeants went after them
they could not be found.
The Louisiana Case.
New ORLEANS, JAN 22--Hoar, Wheeler,
Fryer and Marshall, of the congressional
committee, arrived last night and had pre-
| liminary meeting. To-day the counsel on
either side submitted their cases. The Re-
publicans make the following points:
| FIrSt-They can show 10000 Republican
voters intimidated from voting the Republi
can ticket First, by the Colfax massacre ;
second by the Conshatta massacre third, by
the White League conspiracy fourth by vi
client deposing Of parish officers throughout
| the State and Installing illegal McEnery Off
cials; fifth, general prescription and perse
cutlon Of republicans; sixth, by instruction,
| September 14th.
| Second-That the White League is an or
gained conspiracy against state government
| confederated with kindred organizations
throughout the south that object is the over
throw Of reconstructed government and vir-
| tual annulnent Of the constitutional amend
ments that one of its dangerous results is
revival of the old hostility against the U. 5.
| Government.
Thiu-That the pretended Wilt organ
izaton of the House of Representatives was
| revolutionary mob, entirely destitute of le-
| galty; that it was part of conspiracy to
| revolutionize the entire State Government.
F6urth-Wc desire to submit evidence up
| on political assassination, murders, proscrip-
| ton in theaters or public places, expulsion of
colored children from schools by mobs.
| In answer to the points made by counsel OF
the other side they will show, if allowed, that
| intimidation by U. S. military was in fact
only the fear which parties guilty Of COM
plicity in the massacres of Colfax and Con
shatta who thought they were suspected OF
| such completely, felt of the service OF legal
warrants for their arrest, which warrants
| could only be served safely, in certain parts
of the State, under protection OF the military
forces Of the United States; also propose to
| show, BY extracts from files of the White
|
ken advocacy of assassination.
| The Conservatives points are that the last
election was free, fair and peaceablc one
Oh the part of the Conservatives; that the
Conservatives carried it, having majority OF
| twcnty.nine in the House and ten in the
Senate, electing State treasurer by over A.
| 600 majority that the returning board fall
sified the returns that there was no intimi
dation of voters, except that by colored Re
publicans of colorcd Conservatives, and by
| L. S. troops under command of U. S. Mar
| shals, to intmidate White Conservatives.
| The rest of the points are general and speci-
fic details of the allegations OF Republican
counsel. The committee meet to. morrow to
hear evidence.
PInchback to be admitted rs Senator.
NEW YORK, Jan. ia Washington dis.
patch slao there was another conference of
Southern Republicans last night, at which it
was unanimously agreed to support the KEEL.
logg government in Louisiana and demand
its support by the Republican party. 1t is
the intention of Republicans in the Senate to
admit Pinchback to his seat as soon as he ar.
rives at Washington. Some Senators state
very emphatically that he will be so seated.
This would be such marked recognition OF
the Kellogg government that it does not seem
possible the Senate would take such action
till it had delberated or determined upon its
policy in dealing with the whole case. There
have been within the last two days signs of a
reaction among Republicans in favor Of en-
dorsing the policy that has been pursued, and
of recognizing and sustaining the Kellogg
government. Opinion is still vacillating
however, and it is governed by feelings rather
than judgment.
