the necessities of wicked aud corrupt ring
of politicians, sits in New Orleans under the
protection of Federal bayonets, and under

history of even the great conspiracy by which
the Border Ruffians undertook to seize the
Territory and State of Kansas can furnish
any parallel for this GROWING iDlquity OF
the Federal Administration.
The history of Louisiana during the pro-
gress of the complications which ended yes.
terday in putting the people of the State alb.
solutey under the heel OF military despot-
ism is familiar to the readers of the Tribune.
No impartial person doubts that the Conser-
natives carried the State ana e.ected an over

yember last. 1t was as plain and patent
fact as the election of Governor Tiden In
New York, and no one pretended to dispute
it until the Returning Board began doctor
ing the returns and paving the way for this
stupendous fraud upon the most fimsy pre-
texts-indeed, almost even without pre-
text this Returning Board threw out the
returns of sufficient number of Con-
seryative precincts to leave the complexion
of the House Of Representatives fifty
two Democrats to fitty.four Republicans,
instead Of 70 Democrats to Al Repub-
IicanS, as the original returns showed. In
most of the cases wherein the returns were
thrown out the grounds Of rejection were
OF the most frivolous character; In all OF
them there was manifest purpose to defeat
| the expressed will of the people and make
the Legislature Republican. This purpose
was apparent through sill the proceedings,
and there was hardly any attempt 10 conceal
il. All things having been prepared, as the
Kellogg mssagers believed, to insure the
organization of the House in their interest,
1t turned out on Sunday that through the
non.appearanee OF some Of the members
upon whom they had calculated the scheme
was in danger OF failure that after all their
well-laid plans there would be Coaserya'
tive majority Of two.
| But these men were playing for too large
a stake, and had already committed too many
oulragesand too great crimes, TO be baked
at this Stage Of their enterprise. The Presi.
dent of the United States was at their back,

caught sight OF several fires on the plains

cautious in approaching the camp, and
within half an hour after we first saw the
fires we were hidden near the camp, wat-

Presently all became quiet about tile camp,
the savages having retired Within their
wigwarns.
1t was now considerably past midnight,
and as there were no guards stationed
the camp, we were at liberty to move as
We pleased. We walked through the camp
in every direction, but some time was
spent in looking for my wife before We
found her. We found her at last near the
centre II the camp, completely laced to the
trunk Of huge oak. 70 release her and

and at last, in the gray dawn ofmorning,
we came in sight of our home. After many
