WAR IN THE CAMP.
The Crowd Want no Compromise.
Kellogg to be Impeached.
Those Niggers" after Him.
Intense Excitement in the Radical
Ranks.

| Kellogg crowd is on the rampage, and at
the hour of adjournment last evening was
considering the question Of the impeachment
OF Kellogg.
| The announcement that the Conservative
| Caucus hadaccepted the Wheeler compromise,
created considerable excitement and reused
all the latent suspicious OF the fairness of
| Kellogg.
| Hahn's wing went into secret session and
sent committee to ascertain his contemplate
ed action on the Appropriation bill.
Kellogg, expecting the storm, had left ear
| ly, and the committee went to his house, but
We're refused admittance, he sending out word
| that he ''did not want to see those niggers. F."
| The committee returned, and the nature of
their reception became known and storm
| followed.
A resolution providing for the impeach-
ment of Kellogg was introduced, and fierce
and angry debate resulted on motion being
| made to consider it.
Ray, Stewart, Murrell, Hunsacker, Lowell,
and others supported the proposition to i'm
he seemed to stand alone.
During the debate Kellogg was frequently
accused of having sold out to the Democrats,
and the Compromise was strongly condemned.
A resolution was introduced repudiating it,
but was lost sight of during the excitement
over the question of impeachment, and is
still pending.
AS soon as the proceedings in the House
became known the Senate took hand Chat
burn introduced an act to repeal sections 1860
and 1861 Of the Revised Statutes Of 1870, re-
lating to the manner of filling vacancies in
the Office Of Governor and making provisions
in lieu thereof; that places the Gubernatorial
chair entirely in the control of the Senate.
This was put through its several readings,
finally passed, and sent to the House for con-
currence
This bill is intended to remove all jurisdic-
ton Of the matter from the House, so that in
the event Of the Democrats coming in, or
rather being allowed to come in, under the
compromise and the impeachment is put
through, the faithful will still have the say-so
about the Governor.
Kellogg's veto Of the celebrated amend
ments to the election laws was next called up
and the amendments passed over the veto.
After the proceedings above recorded both
wings adjourned, Antoine's until to-day and
Hahn's until p. NJ
At about o'clock Hahn's wing assembled
IN
Evening Session.
The Gas Company want a deposit, and as
the crowd has not yet made it, there was no
gas, but there was a grand illumination by the
aid Of candles. 1t is calculated that box
was found barely sufficient to light the scene
Only the Amounted were admitted prior to
the hour Of calling to order. Kellogg was
among the boys, interviewing, beseechiDg
them to behave themselves, and pleading with
them to let him alone at the same time
telling them what good man he was.
When the mallet tell at s o'clock, the doors
were opened, and it was found that Kellogg
had disappeared
After quorum was obtained, Lane, chair
man of the Committee on Elections and
Qualifications, submitted report embodying
a resolution unseating the members returned
elected by the Returning Board from the
parishes of Lafourche, Catahoula, st. Landry,
East Feliciana and the Fourth Ward of the
parish of Orleans, and seating the contesting
faithful.
AT first there was fearful howl of opposi-
ton. The members did not understand it,
but Lane and some others Of the committee
gave them little light on the subject and the
howl subsidized, and when the vote was taken
on ordering the main question, majority
was recorded in the affirmative.
There was not a quorum voting however.
Kellogg had taken the precaution to get out a
sufficient number of the members to break
the quorum, fearful that the impeachment
question would be reopened, and he kept
them closeted in his office, where the Ser
geants-at-Arms could not get at them.
While awaiting quorum executive session
was called, and while in it the Wing ai-
journed and Immediately went into caucus.
