PROPOSED ADJOURNMENT
The resolution introduced in Antoine
wing of the Kellogg crowd yesterday, pro
viding for an adjournment on the 9TH of Feb
ruary, Sin view Of the condition of affairs,
is backed by some of the most Influential
members, and there is a probability that i
will be carried
The motives actuating these members ar
wrapped in mystery, but they are supposed t.
be patent enough to influence the ''small fry,
and they will be advanced in executive ses
sion.
In public session retrenchment and reform
by reduction Of the annual amount fol
mileage and per diem, will be urged as good
grounds for the passage of the resolution.
This is good enough for blind for the mass,
but it will not go down with those who know
the crowd
DISINTERESTED MEMBERS.
During the debate in Hahn's wing yester-
day on Dewees's resolution confirming in
their seats all those members returned elect
ed by the Returning Board who have been
sworn in, two little circumstances were
brought to light which forcibly demonstrate
the disinterested nature of the motives which
actuate the patriotic members in all they do
as actors in the legislative farce.
In the first place it TRANSFERRED that P. Jones
York the colleague" Of Dewees) for whose
benefit the resolution had been introduced,
was member of the Committee on Elections
and Qualifications, whose duty it is to pass
upon all contested election cases, and that his
seat was contested by another of the faithful.
Indeed all the difficulty about seats is between
the faithful in and the faithful out.
Cain Sartain made very eloquent, pro-
longed speech in favor of the resolution. 1t
was discovered that his seat was contested,
and then Cain Sartain, without having yielded
the floor, made very eloquent and prolonged
speech in opposition to the resolution. It
can be set down as the quickest change of
base on record.
Discussion on the resolution will be resum-
I'd to-day, when some other interesting facts
nay be developed.
SCORE ONE.

ection, also had hole bored in him by Dick
rson, and expired in a short time
The affair took place in the town of Houma,
'errebonne parish.
Dickerson made his escape. His action is
everely commented on by the faithful The

THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL.
There can be but little doubt that the act
spealing the act authorizing the appointment
an Assistant Attorney General, will remain
| the hands Of the committee to whom it was
,ferred, and will never be presented.
