proceeds nj once TO work with will for
the very people whom he has been rob
bling and brow beating for thirteen long
years, He has already introduced II
bin providing for steamship service
from New Orleans TO u great number OF
places, This, after the commerce Of
tho city has been practically destroyed
by Mr., Kellogg and his compeers, il
queer, II can only be regarded as
cheap bid for immunity against the
heavy charges which Mr., X, knows full
well are pending against him, and
which will be pushed sooner or later by
his deluded and cheated constituency
The seating of Kellogg in the United
States senate is one Of those ineXpli>
cable things which now and then occur
in politics and are indigenous only in
the reconstructed states. Tho most
ultra radical states at the north, invari'
ably send men to the senate
whose personal life is pure
At least they do not select men who
stand charged with crime against the
law, and in this they set valuable ex-
ample for the republicans of the south,
1t will not be denied but this res
suit is part of the wonderfully cor>
rupt compact made by which Hayes
and Kellogg received majority at the
same election which gave Nj cholls, the
democratic candidate, decided and %
clear majority. 1t is nearly time now
that Inconsistencies such as this, and
men such as Kellogg, are rendered im-
possible, The penitentiary and not the
United States senate is the place for
him, if only a milloneth part of the
charges against him are correct. Mr.,
Kellogg by his own statements is u
schemer and an adventurer, u man who
has contracted to elect certain men to
certain positions, for certain consideraN
tons This has been by his own state
ment the business of his life, and now he
supplements it and crowns his career by
by trading himself into seat in the
senate, and has come with all the pomp
and parade of bewildering success to
take possession of his honors. He
would have louisiana, the south and the
entire country to forget that he is the
creature of one of the most stupendu'
GUS frauds perpetrated during the last
five centuries. Stupenduous becaus,
of the magnitude of the interests affect
ed as well as by its own proportions
To accomplish this, and satisfy the PEG
pie, he goes to work in good earnest 70
