FouR years ago, two factions contended tor
the control of the State of Louisiana. The
Federal Government recognized the Kellogg
faction, and supported it. The McEnery
faction, after several attempts to overawe
the Kellogg Government by an armed force,
agreed to submit the whole controversy to
the arbitrament of the Committee of the Ma
tional House, consisting OF Messrs. George
f. Hoar, Wm. A. Wheeler. VIM. P. FRYE.
Charles Foster, ClarksOn n. Potter, William
Walter Phelps and ). ). Marshall. The
award of the committee was that the kel
logg State Government should stand and
that the Democratic claimants for seats in
the House. from whom certificates had been
withheld by the Kellogg Returning Board,
should be admitted. Both parties agreed
to the award. and nothing further was heard
of " Goyerno. McEnery until about the
time the Returning Board declared that the
Ilayes Electors and the Republican State
ticket were chosen. The McEnery faction
kept the compact until melted by Mr. I'll
den's leaders to make declaration that the
Democratic Electoral ticket was duly elected.
ThcreupOn "GOvernor" MeEnery took upon
himself his executive functions which he had
laid aside two years before. and made a can
yass of the vote from unofficial returns, and
without appointing Returning Board, and
on that eanyassappointed the Tllden Electors
and declared Nichols elected Governor.
When the term of Kellogg expired, last
week, McEnery proceeded to administer the
oath Of Office to Nichols, and in pursuance of
that authority he has set up Government
in Louisiana, appointed Supreme Court
and has called out large body Of militia
for the purpose of either Overawing or over
throwing the Packard Government.
The above statements are matters of his
tory. 1t, therefore, follows that the act of
McEnery in declaring Nichols elected and
nducting him INTO Office, was simply one of
usurpaton aud without a shadow of iounda
ton in Law

They are enjoying political power by the

it was given. They have the benefit Of all
this in the electoral colleges. The popular
majority claimed for them is made up a.

given in States where they have denied to
greater or less degree to legal voters the
