has assiduously pursued ever since the war,

knaves and liars has been by them rewarded
with the highest honors for his knayery and
wonder and disgust Of the whole civilized
world. The creature of The fraud, which he

American citizen.
In this action of the Senate vilIainy and
treachery score. another triumph aud honesty
and truth tearfuliy acknowledge another de-

necessity OF continuing Radical majority in

The Administration supported him, and its
support confirmed him in his seat. BY this act
Louisiana must be represented In the United

than any other to ruin and disgra - her: by the
greatest villain OF the horde OF villains who

this great nation certainly have an enviable lpj

w. ?. Kellogg, has finally been admitted as
Senator of the United States, representing the
proud State Of Louisiana. There Is not man
in this State that supposed that such an occur

farce has become reality must stir the blood
and excit. the indignation Of all Louisianians.

But rather than lose their power, Republican
Senators did not hesitate 10 take IN fellowship a

It is in he power Of the people of this State

be a set OF resolutions repudiating Mr.. Kellogg
as a Senator and placing the Senate upon no.

go unprotected. Let the Senate know that they
