was and is to secure the recognition
and maintenance of the Nichols
Government. If Mr.. Hayes is our
friend and help in this, we may we'll

irmed. *.*.
KELLOGG AT HIS OLD GAME.
The ex-usurper, Mr.. Kellogg, who
is now trying hard to usurp seat in
the U. S. Senate to again misrepre-
sent Louisiana is yet calm and serene
at his old favorite game of a cham
pion liar. He took fresh brush at
it in Washington, few days since,
and here is the way Congressman
Ellis, a Democrat, takes him down:
WASHINGTON, MARCH 26.-Kellogg
lied as usual. Hayes said to me,
SIN South Carolina there seems to
be one Supreme Court whose legali-
ty is conceded, while in Louisiana
you have no Supreme Court whose
authority is uudisputed." His re-
mark was one Of inquiry, and applied
equally to the Nichols and Packard
Courts.
/ hope our people will, by no act
give coloring Of acceptance Of any
decision of Louisiana matters by the
Commission. We must prepare to
resist the decree if it is unfavosable.
The House is unquestionabiy Dem
ocrstic, and will never give one dol
lar for the army until our people are
free. Patience and a bold assertion
of our rights will bring us victory in
the end. 4. John ELLIS.
WE notice the name of Tom Ar.
derson figuring as one Of the nine
teen names called every day to make
up the pretended quorum in Pack
ards Senate. In this connection il
is instructive to read the following
extract from the proceedings Of the
Returning Board in its session OF
Friday, November oath, 1876.

cept IT. Iscos fairly defeated.
Comment is useless.
