OBSTACLES TO DEFINITE ACTION By CONGRESS.
The difficulty in the way of Congressional
action on Louisiana affairs is found in the
Constitution and the laws. If there was no
doubt about the constitutional power of Con-
gress to order new election in the Stste-if
that power was clear to the Democrats and to
all Republicans as it seems to be to few,
there would probably be little hesitation in ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the existing con-
ditlon in law providing for new election
under the superintendence of the General Gov
ernment There is some talk of setting up
Provisional Government, but the same OBJ
jections are raised against this action as
against the other. II new election, or a pro-
visional Government, is not authorized, the
only alternative is to recognize the Kellogg
Government, and authorize and empower the
President to support it with the whole power
of the Government All the questions are
privately discussed among members and poll
ticians, and opinions and views are inter-
changed. Very few are found who advocate
definitely any particular course. Almost al
ways propositions are but hypOtheticaly, and
objections seem to be more easily found than
favorable arguments. SO far as any line of
policy for the future is cOncer0ed the whole
subject is in the same condition as a week ago.
The Democrats are sOldly against any new
some of them unite with the Republicans who
favor a change ia the present Government in
Louisiana, nothing in that direction can be
aceompl shed. United Democratic opposition
to any measure seems to be agreed upon.
They will thus throw the whole responsibility
upon the Republican party, and a failure to
agree upon some policy which will receive the
votes OF the party in the House and Senate
will leave the situation just as at present, with
the responsibility resting wholly upon the
President There are many shrewd poiti-
clans who have the opinion that nothing will
be done in Congress. 1t is not anticipated that
any progress will be made till the committee
returns from New Orleans.
BANK CIRCULATION UNDER THE NEW LAW AP-
Piled FOR.
Applications have been made to the Con-
troller of the Currency for about one million
dollars of bank circulation under the new FL
nance act. These applications are entirely
from the Eastern States, and the greater part
of the million of dollars is asked for by New
York parties. 1t has been asserted that no.
tices of the intention to surrender circulation
were prepared in advance of the passage of
the bill, aud placed IN the hands of parties here
to present as soon as it became a law, and the
amount that it has been stated it is already de-
termned to surrender IS five millions of dollars.
Up to this time, however. the Controller has
received no notice from banks intending to sur
render their circulation. rui I #l.r..J

Masquerading in Cornish.
CORNISH, Jan. 20.


To the Editor Of the Press:
The masquerade ball last evening proved to
be the event of the season in this busy little
village. Old and young gathered in Wood
bury's Hall to witness the rather novel sight.
Some forty couples were on the floor in cos
tume. Bright eyes twinkled under the masks
of the many pretty girls for which this 7illage
is noted. Among the varied costumes worn
we have time to designate but few. Mrs. w
as the Goddess of Liberty and Mrs. 7. as
Highland Lasse looked lovely, while we think
Miss n. in fancy costume was the acknowl-
edged belle of the evening. DIV
After the unmasking large number joined
in the dancing, and a long programme of
dances was gone through with.
The wee small hours found the party depart
ing for their homes and the iingling of sleigh
bells mingled with dreams of fairy forms is
the last your correspondent remembers till the
landloLd of the Cornish House awoke him with
the welcome sound of breakfast ready-stage
leaves in fifteen minutes.
When next Cornish INDUCES in Bal Masque
may we be there to see.
