The Senate and Louisiana,

The Senate has unmistakab'y Y pro
nounced its judgment upon the Louisiana
Commission, aud incidentally upon the
general subject OF the Louisiana question
1t had already in the admission of Mr
Kellogg declared that what was known "a.
the Packard Republican Legislature the
legislature which was disinlegrated
through the influence OF the Commission
was the righttuly chosen legislature OF
the State. 1t now virtually declares the
appointment OF the Commission and all
its proceedings to be entirely without war
rant of law.
The issue was presented on a PROPOSE
tion to pay the expenses of that body.
This opened the whole question, and the
expression Of the Senate was lsar and
emphatic. The discussion ca led out some
brief but NOTABLE utterances from both
Senators Conkling and Blaine. Senator
Conkling said that the situation in l. Iuis
lana, when the President entered up IN his
term, summoned him to answer one oues-
tlon-whether Packard was or was not the
legal Governor OF The State. Ii he was.
he was emitted to be recognized aud
sustained. Ii he was not, then
there was somebody else who had
the rightful title to such support. To meet
and decide that question was an obligation
which could not be properly evaded, and
the appointment of a Commission to set
tie by insidious manipulations and pro-
cesses what ought TO have been settled by
the direct determination of the Executive
was proceeding entirely outside of law
While enforcing this argument, Senator
Conkling took care to explain that be did
not question the Presidents right to dc.
termine whether the exigency was one
which required the employ yment of troops.
But the question OF the rightful government
was one of different character. and
when the issue was presented, the duty of
the Executive was to meet it instead of
sending out a Commission to undermin.

OF Senator Conkling was brief bu, calm
