thrust piercing his heart. The doctors said
the woman might possibly recover. She
had begun a suit for divorce against her

proceedings was the cause of the terrible

made any arrangements with any person or per-
sons whereby electoral certificates were to be
handed to him by the Secretary of state; he was
convinced he was lawfully appointed to replace
DIR. Watts, and he put the certificates in his pock-

THE SENATE COMMITTEE.

On the Goth, Senators Wadleigh, McMil.
Ian and Mcdonald we're appointed a sub-com-
mittee to take testimony of Eliza Pinkston. Col.
j. w. Patton, Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, was called by request Of Senator
Mcdonald, to rebut certain evidence in reference
to a circular issued by him during the campaign.
Col. Patton testified that the circular i'm question
was correctly printed in Senator Sherman's re-
port, but that the italics there given with the ex-
ception OF the one word, horseback, were not in
the original; the circular was headed Con
idential. j" but it was scattered broadcast. and
there was no intention of keeping its contents
secret; the policy of the Democrats, as agreed
upon at the commencement of the campaign by
the State Committee, was to avoid all collisions
with their political opponents, both upon hu-
manitarian principles and as a latter of policy.
reference to the organization of rifle clubs
in Ouachita; stated that he knew nothing
OF them until after the election, and that
the instructions issued by the committee early
in the campaign were not carried out in the in
terror of the State. The examination and cross
examination of witness occupied elk hours.
Sam d. McEnery, of Ouachita Parish, was
next called and testified at length: A large
number of prominent colored men acted with the
Democrats and organized colored clubs; the So
called rifile-clubs had no connection with the po-
htical clubs and were for the purpose of pre-
serving the peace and protecting Democratic
negroes from outrages from their own race
Witness was e. amined at length in regard to the
assassination of DIR. Dinkgrave, whom he had
known since a boy; said that Dinkgrave had
killed a man named Wimberly in 1877 >, and
Wimberly's brother had threatened to avenge tire
murder; the general belief in the neighborhood
was that Dinkgrave was killed by this man, or
by a man named Adams, who was a bitter enc
my of Dinkgrave's. Cross examined, said he
had never heard Adams or his friends make any
threats against Dinkgrave.
Thu Senate Committee, on the 9th, con-
tinued the examination of Sam D. McEnery.
Upon DISCRIMINATION he stated that he had
been a member of the Knights of the White
Camelia. which was a secret and oath bound
society......The Senate sub committee. COM

the condition of affairs in East Baton Rouge

LOUISIANA.

The Democratic State Senators holding
over, and Clerk Trezevant, of the House,
called on Governor Kellogg On the 18th and
protested against the barricading of the
State house, and demanded the removal OF
the barbados, which the Governor, de-
clined to do. He further informed Clerk
Trezevant that a list of the legally elected
members of the House would be furnished
him by the Secretary of State, and that it
was his duty to call the names as they ap-
pear upon such list.
The Louisiana Legislature met and or
ganized on the 1st. The Democratic MEM
bers, accompanied by about SEQ persons,
went to the State-house at noon and de-
manded admission. The officer on duty
said that the members could enter, but the
crowd could not. A demand was then
made by Trezevant, Clerk of the House,
that all the barricades, policemen, etc., be
removed, which being refused, a formal
protest was read and a copy served upon
Gov. Kellogg, who replied that he believed
the precautions taken by him necessary to
preserve the peace, and that no member or
attache of either House would be refused
admittance. Clerk Trezevant then informed
the Governor that, unless the barbados,
etc., were removed, he would decline to call
the roll, whereupon, the hour for organiza-
ton having arrived, Louis Sauer was m
powered to call the roll, and SO members
answered to their names, SO being a quo
rum. The Senate organized with IS MEM
bers-more than a quorum. The
Governors message was received and
read. The Democratic members,
having withdrawn, organized in
St. Patrick's Hall. The Senate organized
with 10 members, and the House with 81
members, Trezeyant, the regular Clerk,
having called the roll. A committee was
appointed to wait upon Gov. Kellogg and
inform him that the House of Repre-
sentatives was organized at st. Patrick's
Hall, and to enter a protest against their
ex fusion from the S~tate-house. Gov.
Kellogg refused to receive any official COM
munication from them, but replied person.
ally that no member of the Legislature were
debarred from entering the State-house at
any time.
On the ID, the Republican Legislature
declared the election of Packard as Gov
ernor and the Democratic Legislature de-
clared the election of Nichols. One mem
Der of the Democratic House deserted and
reported at the State-house.
The Republican Legislature, on the 4th,
passed a bill forbidding the organization of
military companies other than militia; a
bill appropristing $500, 900 for militia pur-
poses; also, q resolution declaring vacant
