His Infamous proposition for the presl-

LOUISIANA.
Dissatisfied With The Report Of The
subcommittee.
The Congregational Committee TO be
Stuffed With KuKlux and Other
0ulrages.

New ORLEANS, January lO.-The
following Is from republican official
source
The republicans assert that the re.
port Of the Louisiana subcommittee
goes outside OF the record, and that no
testimony was brought before them to
show the finding Of the illegal legisla-
tive warrants, the displacement OF
Judges by Kellogg or the seizure Of
arms by the police without process Of
law. They assert that specific eyl.
dence be adduced to disprove these and
other allegations of the committee
which they say are based solely on o
brief of the democratic counsel.
The Plc0yune says: At the state
house Kellogg has been closeted with
Packard and few leading spirits Of
the radical party rs is supposed for the
purpose Of consultation to devise
ways and means to bring in as many
witnesses AS possible, favorable to their
side before the congressional commit
tee. The plan, as understood, is to sum
mon one prominent republican from
each parish with accidental witnesses
from particular points.

"ro sum up, the accused has been prov

ing. This constitutes All oflense against
clause 1873 of the German criminal code.
In melting out punishment, the high
position and responsibility of the ac-
cused, as well as the serious import OF
the papers and the danger of their be-
coming known to unfit persons, were
so many aggravating circumstances
On the other hand, the surrender of
these dispatches OH the 2Sth of June,
1874, and the traditional carelessness
of diplomatic agents in dealing with
papers, as proved by the rescript of the
Dist of December, 1873, are circumstan-
ces extenuating, though not annulling
the guilt incurred. The surrender OF
the dispatches, though by it the miss
ing documents were restored, was only

whatever the careless habits of the

galized by their repetition"

Mr. FEHLoN on THE AMENDMENT.

The editor of the Commonwealth wrote to
Mr.. Fenlon, Of this city, asking him for his
opinion regarding the proposed amendment
to the Constitution. The following is his
answer:
LEAvESwoRTH, October 9Th, 1875.
f. r. Boxer:
Your card, dated September Both. 1875,
is received. My opinion is, if the amend
ments to the Constitution are adopted, they
do not take effect till January session, 1877,
and therefore regular session may be con-
stitutionally held January, 1876, and on
this ground the Governor need not call an
extra session. The session of January,
1876, has full power to provide for the e1-
penses OF the State government till January,
1877, and then that legislature may provide
for the two years then next ensuing, pro-
vided the amendments are adopted. In
other words, do not agree with the argu-
ments Of W. c. Webb, Esq. Ii / had time
would write you an argument on the
question as it is, I simply give my opinion
for what il is worth.
Very Respectfully,
THOe p. FENLoN.

even one vote,
Thomas Jefferson was elected President
ot the United Sta.es b. one vote. His cleo
ton depended upon the State of New York.
The Legislature of that State, under the
iormer provision Of the Constitution. nam
ed the electors. The city of New York
sent the Assembly man whose vote decided
the political complexion of the election in
.Jeiterson's favor. This msn was cleo ted by
one vote.
One vote elected Marcus Morton Govern
or OF Massachusetts,. One vote elected VII.
liam Alien to Congress in 1884, and one
vote afterwards elected him to the United
States Senate. One vote made Thomas

vote IN the Senate gave the presiding Off

Inc ST. Louis Journal adds TO this that

Hardin for his present position. And hun
dreds OF such instances las those given by
the Republic might be cited, Let every
Republican therefore do his best to bring
out full vote.
