The Legislative Ldy-Om.
New Orleans, Dec. 2.2The situation
is unchanged and eTerything is quiet.
There have been two Legislatures or
ganized, constituted as follows:
State House Senate, 8 holding over
and eleven returned by the board;
house, 6S members returned by the
board, % of whom the Democrats
claim were not elected.
st. Patrick's Hall-Senate, none
holding over, s returned by the board,
and four who were counted out but
claim they were elected; house, 40 re-
turned by the board and % who claim
they were elected, but were counted
out by the board.
Shortly before noon a committee
from the st. Patrick's hall house
waited on Governor Kellogg and pre-
sented communication informing him
that the house of representatives was
organized at st. Patrick's hall, and at
the same time entering solemn protest
against the occupation of the state
house by armed police and militia,
against the exclusion from seats in the
house of duly elected representatives
of the people and against the presence
of armed men, metropolitans and SOL
diers.
Gov. Kellogg replied that there were
several statements contained in the
communication which were incorrect.
There were no military, properly speak
ing, in the state-house. Yesterday
there was a force of police armed not
differently from the way in which they
were ordinarily armed, as conservators
of the peace. They were instructed not
to interfere with any member of the
legislature, but to protect them from
interference from others. As to the
house which the committee claimed
had been legally and properly organized,
the law provided that the secretary of
state should furnish the clerk with a
list of members elected. That list was
furnished the clerk, and 68 Of the mem
bers whose names were on that list
appeared in the regular hall Of the
house of representatives yesterday, and
but AZ or 43 at the most, appeared in
st. Patrick's hall. He said he must
decline to receive any communication
from a body which lacked nearly 20 Of
a quorum.
