The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-23
STATE. HOUSE.
KcIIOgg ana the North Louisiana Rail
road nill.

Kellogg ana the North Louisiana Rail
road niiI.
Kellogg has at last gotten possession
Of the North Louisiana Railroad bill,
ind il only requires his signature 10
make IL IL law. A dispatch was received
by the Governor this morning from the
Mnyor Of Shreveport, urging him to
sign It. Mr.. T.. b. Whcolock, president
of the New Orleans Pacific Railroad Go .
called upon Kellogg and bad long
interview. Mr.. Whcelock holds that
tho manner in which the bill WIS
brought before the Senate WAS uncou-
stitutionnl, and produced the journal to
show that the bill wnR never sent from
the House, and that the bill wa placed
upon thf Secretary 3 desk by the frcsi-
dent OF the Senate, aud purportcd to be
the bill from the House.
Mr. Wheclocli further nsScrts that the
bill which passed the House IL in the
hands Of the House Committee. further,
that the bill which passed the Senate
was not properly put through and that
there had not been u suspension OF the
constitutional rule to put IT. on its third
reading. The journal was produced TO
prove this assertion
After IN excited debate by both par
ties, Kellogg said that he would thor
oughIy investigate tho matter and If
would withhold his signature.
The trouble about this bill grow out Of
the action of Senator Wharton, the
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Railroads. The North Louisiana Rail
road bill passed the House, we believe,
wit hOut an objection, and WAS sent to
the Senate where it was referred To the
Committee on Railroads. The friends
OF the bill made strenuous efforts to get
the bill reported back, but in vain &,
and finally, the chairman OF the com
mittee, in fit OF Indignation, retired
! from the Senate with the North Louisi-
ana Railroad bill in his pocket. The
Lieutenant Governor. we are told, then
| sent for another copy of tho bill, tho
original being in the archives OF the
House, in which body it originated, and
this copy OF the bill was passed by an
almost unanimous vote of the Senate
its friends claim, under II suspension of
the rules.
From dispatches received here there
IL evidently much feeling among the
people Of North Louisiana over the com
plicntions which have involved this bill,
so important to their interests. Mr..
Wheolock, who opposed the bill, claims
that it never legally passed the Senate ;
while it's friends claim that IT passed by
a very large ma ority. Surely there
must be II way TO learn, beyond II doubt,
| the real flcts OF the case.
Speaker Estilette was waited upon by
| the Property Holders Union In regard
TO tho bill remitting the penalties on
back taxes. Mr. EstiIotte stated that it
was his impression that there had been
no amendments in the Senate, rs the
journal showed, and it had never been
sent back to the House, and That he
would withhold his signature until sat
lsfled upon this point
The committee had an interview with
Kellogg, the tenor Of which could not
be nscertained.

their baggage was shipped ahead of
them and consisted Of three months

Yesterday morning meeting was
