the New Orleans subcommittee of The Committee
OF Ways and Means will go to the printer to-mor-
row. IL Will make about 500 printed pages, and
promises to be uncOmmonly readable 1t Is shown,
Tor instance, that during the 14th or September
affair the Kellogg officers all over the state dis
appeared, and many Of them never resumed their
ofices feeling that they had rightful claim to
them. This caused embaI rassment in several
parishes at the election, because the proper off,
GERS had to be sought to sign the certificates. In
some cases they were found quietly living on their
farms, having abandoned politics
GALL IN THE FAMILY"
Again, in some parishes all the offices were found
to be held by the members OF one family. In one
case an old man named Green was County Clerk,
his son held another office, his son-in-aw another,
another son a fourth and remote connection Of
the family fifth. In another case q man, his two
sons, son-!n.law and rwo colored men bearing
his name, were all office-holders IN the same
family The jokers here are saving tnat the Presi-

In answer to questions, testified that he had
"vOted the White League ticket" at the last two
elections; that he was member OF the White
League; that he lived "wid de ole family;" aud
when asked if he knew VINO the White League

THE ARMY PREVENTIVE OF LAW AND JU sT1cE
There Is no doubt felt here by persons we'll IN
formed in Louisiana matters, republicans as well
as democrats, that If the weight OF the army were
lifted from the State tomorrow the whole Kellogg
government would peaceaby melt away, aud
that, without violence without disturbance. with
ont protest even, TIA officers would give up
their places and abandon every claim to them. 1t
is therefore, the army which to-day prevents the
assembling Of the lawfully elected Legislature of
Louisiana, which also keeps the Kellogg people in
power. These hold on from day TO day. reckoning
that every day OF Office Is days pay secured

GRANTS ''INTINIDATIoN' OF THE PRESS.
The great intimidator," as Senator Schurz
called the President the other day, is still work.
1t reported to night that the work Of ntimidat-
ing the press, begun at New YORK, is
going on vigorously. The Cincinnati Times
and number OF other Western newspapers
are deprived OF government advertising
by orders from the White House. In
his annual message the President SAID, speaking
Of this subject OF intimidation, 'ln some places
coored laborers were compelled to vote according
to the wishes OF their employers and there are
too MANY instances in which, when these threats
were dlsregarded, they We're remorseessly exc
cuted by those VINO made Them l understand
that the fifteenth amendment to the cons tuition
was made TO prevent this and like state OF
things" People here wonder why the fifteenth
amendment, If it really i0rblos ''intimldationu
and the deprivation of employment for refusal Of
political support, should not protect the press
against in timid alton rom the White House.
CHARITABLE OPINION OF THE PRESIDENT.
the President told the sonthern delegation
which called upon him this morning 10 urge him
to recommend the reconstruction or the evees OF
the Mississippi that the recent dispatches from
G eneral Sheridan about renewed troubles at
shreveport, La, convinced him that there
was no gratitude in the Southern whites,
especially after the aid rendered that stricken
community in the time OF yellow lever and mum
dation, and it was doubtful whether 1t was worth
while 10 attempt to rehabihtate that part OF the
country.
