THE REPURLICAN LEGIsLATURE.


New ORLEANs Jan. 2-The republican
legislature in joint SESSION { -dIy red The
returns fiom each parish, as furnished by
the secretary OF siate and compiled by the
returning bOari. and announced that Pack
ard had been elected governor and Antoine
lieutenant governor
PART oY KELLoSG's MESSAGE TO BE sEyr To
CONGRESS-
The republican senate to-day adopted
resolution requesting the governor to trans
uit immediately to the senators and repre-
sentatives in congress those portions of his
message which referred to the political con-
dition of the state. In these portions of the
message Governor Kellogg traced in detail
the history of the state since its recOnstruc-
ton, asserting that the Orleans July riots of
1866 were still justified and approved. and
that the judge who refused To charge the
jury in regard to them had been re-
elected to The same office ever since.
that, the Grant parish massacre was still
regarded as justihable assertion of white
supremacy, and that the whole political his
Tory of the party opposed to the republican
principles in the slate was characterized by
one aim, the resting OF all political control
in the hands of arstocratic oligarchy ire
spective of the will of the majority OF the
people and the practical nulli6cation Of the
constitutional measures which accord To
emancipated slaves the rights of citizens.
He adds it is argued, with appar-
ent plausibility, that the dis
orders admitted to prevail In
some of the southern states are the result Of
the ineficiency of the republican state au-
thorites and their Inability to enforce the
laws and bring the guilty parties ID Justice.
It Is pointed out that in Georgia, Alabama,
and other southern states, which have been.
redeemed, as il is called, from republican
rule, peace prevails and political murders
are comparatively unknown. The very
statement of this proposition carries
with ii a confession of guilt, and
discloses the fact that the disorders
in the south are created by the men
OF reform for the purpose Of obtaining con-
troll OF the government and that until they
obtain possession of the offices whether they
have such a majority of legal votes as would
justly enttle them 10 those offices or NOT,
political turmoil will continue. No local
tribunals can prevent or punish political
offences whilst the controlling public senti-
ment among the more influential citizens
sanctions, or at least connives at, these
disorders There seems to me but
three ways by whicn peace can be
maintained. and the laws of the state and of
the United States can be enforced in Louis
lana against political offenders
l. The surrender of the state government
to the minority who controlled it's destinies
before the emancipation of slaves.
g. The acceptance by that minority In
good faith of the constitution and amend
ments, which issues were decided by the
war.
& The enactment by congress of such
appropriate and valid legislation will Sc
cure the enf)rcelnens ot thsss amendments
against organized insidious aud aesparate
bostilities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Senator Jones, OF
Florida, has thrown considerable light on
the electoral count in that state and the ras-
calities of the returning board. When the
canvass was first concluded which gave Flo
rida to Hayes and Stearns the board had 10
consider the conflicting returns from Baker
and Clay counties. The returns admitted
were declared TO be properly certified by
the unanimous vote OF the BOARD. Under the
present order or the court requiring the board
to count inthe counties Of Monroe. Manatee,
Hamilton and Jackson. it was found that
both Tilden and Drew would be elected, 80
the board deliberately Teopened the canvass
in the counties of Baker and Clay, aid sub
stituted for the genuine returns the very
ones they had previously decided were
spurious. This new arrangement gives the
Hayes electors majority OF POS wcile the
genuine returns from those counties give
ne Tilden electors e6 majority.

A FEUD between two BARRIERS, futile
and Bingham, in South Boston, has
ended In nonsense and gunpOwder,
but not in blood. They met last We'd
nesday night at City Point by the light
Of the moon. Fifty persons were on
the ground seconds were chosen the
principals dotted hats and coats tie
distance was marked OF, and the
duellists stood face TO face, when it was
discovered that tho weapons had been
forgotten. To go 10 the house Of q
neighbor and secure two large pistols
that had not been loaded for many q
month, was the work Of but a few
moments. Caps were placed upon the
uuloaded pistols, and then all was
ready. One Of the spectators loaded
q small pistol Of his own with powder,
and secretly Crept up behind Bingham.
The work "lrG' was given, both caps
snapped, and at the same instant the
man behind Bingham discharged bic
weapon. Bingham, on hearing the
discharge, supposed himself to be shot,
and fell to the ground. On seeing him
fall, some Of the spectators set up a cry
thathe was shot, whereupon his oppon.
ent took to his heels leaving his hal
and coat on the ground.
