A PROTEST FROM TUB ATTORNEY B.V
EliAL JP I.OLIMASA.
Yasuisut6n, Dec. 11, 172.
lluu. CVorye 11. Williams,
AUoriu j tltneral United Ut ih t !
My DiAR Sut: 1 bt'j leave to submit
through you to the l'reeijotit tbe f'llowii)
poiuls : Tho action of tbe Executive lu re
cognizing tbe assemblage at tbe Mechanics'
Inslitule in New Oi Icuua, u the legisla
ture of laiuisiuna, and 1'. li. t. 1'inclibat k,
as Oovemor, was ecrtainly prematura,
lli bback was never Lieutenant Governor
of the Suto, and bis term as a Senator ex
pired, under tbe constitution of that State,
on the fourth day of November last. Tbe
assemblage at Mechanics' Institute) was
notoriously. returned and seated by a
Deputy 1'uiled States Marshal, uudcr the
order of au Inferior Federal Court. Tbls,
fact can bo ascertained by reference to tbe 1
papers tiled by rue In the Supreme Court
ofiheUuitcd Stales lu tbe matter of a
parte War month, applying for a writ of
prohibition. There are circumstances of
allien the Government must take notice.
pv It bout (llscusslug who was, or who was
not elected.
I respectfully stirgest that before tbe
Presldeut undertook to settle tho contro
versy, and to pledge the great power of bis
olllce to either side, much deliberation
and a full hearing should have been ac
corded. , ,
The election was the most quiet and or
derly ever held lu the State. Not a symp
tom of riotous disposition, not evetajper
sonal quarrel or euconnter, connected with
politics, was reported by Die police authori
ties in any direction. The machinery of
ine Mate government was in perfect order
after tbe election, and entirely competent
to manage lis owu alUlt, anil with count
of Just Ice ready to protect the rights of every
citizen, liy a sudden action of an Inferior
Federal Court, which was alwolutelyoniHi
nou jitdic, the Stale government la com
pletely overset, the State House seized, and
a government enacted whets otlicers the
peoplo have never chosen. .
It cannot, sir, have escaped your atten
tion that in pursuing this couie a Federal
Con it has been enabled, by the assistance
of the army of the United States, to sub
vert a Stat government, and to construct
one iu lis place, for It Is well known that
the board of returning oiliccrs recognize!
by Judge Durell has not acted upon the
sworn returns of the regular election ol!'
cers of tbe State, from which lon tluy
e.Nild bare, under mo law, declared the re
sult, but professes to have been guided by
the leturus of United State lusnertois,
oiliccrs entirely unknown to the laws of
Louisiana, so thai the case stands plainly
thus :
A Federal Judge, absolutely without
jurisdiction, seizes a State House and seats
a Legislature, the member of which have
no other claim to their seats than the
finding i f a returning board, whose sole
authority Is tbo recognition of Ibis usurp
ing Federal court, and which professes lo
a't solely upon tho statement or retuu s
made by certain United States oflicers,
wlio at o entirely unknown to '.be laws' of
lyonisiaua. Thenars facts, known now
by every intelligent man iu this country,
and of course imt had from the chief magistral-.
''- -'-.-f
'Iho Legislature tlniM awmUcd is recog
nized by the Executive of litis great nation,
and you tclcgraidi, ujion Ms authority, lo
our people, commanding them to submit.
If they were an uncivilized people, accus
tomed to tho shackles of a despotism, Una
enliinibiion which you command would-be
an carfy nutter; but, sir, they are Ameri
cans, like yourself, born and raised under
the IVcc inslitutinus of this great country.
Tliey aro sullering the litest Krievous
wrongs lbtl could bo dime a people, and
aro conscious that their Oovcrntuent has
acted without proper deliberation, and
upon an tr. put to showing of the case.
Can you blame them fur no. ieldiug
tamely lo this oppression, and for making
another appeal, which I now do, In their
name, to the President, for an Investigation
of this mailer ?
1 am not presenting lo you tho caso of
Ucury C. Wai motb, or that of William
1'itt Kellogg, in tbls appeal. Tney are
both itraugeis to us, and our people have
stiflcred long and patiently under tho mis
management of such men, s Is known to
tbe whole cohntryl I am Kpcajcing In the
same and as tile representative of the best
people of Louisiana, who are firmly con
vincetHhat frr tbo recent election they car
ried most of tW Important tifliccs of their
SUio, and that If effcet shall' be given to
the real popular verdict of November, the
government will pats Into 1Uo Bandj of
honest and capable nieu. They feci that
In this way they have a right to expect the
sympathy of tbe Fedctal Exectftrye, who
has recently received irorn the people of
hla country such distinguished evidence of
their confldenos. " '!www i
- The course of tbe Executive In this mat
ter Is, I fear, calculated to alienate the af
fections of the best people, and weaken
Utcir confidence in tbe protection, ot tbe
Government, and their love of our Insti
tutions. -
I am lersuaded that if the Government
should at this juncture pursue ft wis, mag
nanimous and Impartial course let the
result be what It may th contM-nee and
afledion tif the JHMith would be promptly
reVoied in the National Itovertimeut, and
all trouble in that direction forever settled.
'I lie action heretofore taken can be can.
celled, or modified, tj as to give effed to
these views, and iu a very short time tbe
true case can be placed before tbe Govern
ment, as a couioiitie from Louisiana la on
its war, bearing all tho facts to tbe Prrte
dent, and this committee) la, according to
my understanding, non-partisan.

From the Mw York Tribune of Saturday.
Ilowi weald It LMk Farther Merits
Here are some salient points lu tho late
news from New Orleans:
1. There Is a dispute as to who Is elect
ed Governor of Louisiana. - Each side
claims the victory, and each side bu a llo
turning Hoard to certify to it.
X. uneor the candidate, Mr.Keiiog,
Is now United Slates Senator. Tbe consii
tiitloa of Louisiana makes a United State
otlleer Ineligible to the Governorship. It
Is claimed that a case many years ago gives
a precedent for construing tlie constitution
agulust Its. language; aud this, In turn, la
denied.
I!. It la not pretended that Senator Kel
lopn was actually elected Governor. It is
only claimed that' he would bive bcu
elected, If all tho negroes bad been allowed
to vote. Ills opponents deny that any
were hindered.
4. Tho State Court sustains Kullogg'a
opponent; the United Slates Circuit Judge
sustains Kellogg. Ou this tbe United
States troops are pledged to sustain Kel
logg, by tbe Attorney-General, speaking
for the National Admluls'ratlon.
Suppose these things were done In Ken
lucky or Maryland liiste att of Iulslaua ?
A Terrible If error let Maeoa-A Lady
Unmet! te Dwavin.
' Hia Macon Telegraph says Mrs. MatllJa
Ilerumlez, a widow lady living In Kast
Macon, was burned to death about four
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. TLe cir
cumstances of tbls frightful accident, ns far
as can bo ascertained, are about as follows :
Mrs. Herandez was left at home alone by
her daughter, who had gone to make a
visit to mime of her neighbors. Wht n the
daughter left, her mother, lu her usual
health, was sitting before tbo fire. Tbe
daughter was out sometime, aud when she
retliniM t nrunrl Uo suotAM . 4Jaal,
having been burned to death. HuW
she raugbt (Ire cannot b known,
though li Is supposed that she hid a lit
and fell into tbe lire, though she la not
known to have been subject to flts of any
kind. When found her clothes wore nearly
all burned on" her, aud her face aud all t)i3
upper poi lion of her body were literally
roasted to a blaok, hard cilsp. Her stom
ach was a'l burned until her bowels protru
ded, aud her bands and arms burned until
they were shapetcts. Iu tho charred con
dition In which she was found no one
could bavo identified her. It Is awful to
think of what a struggle tho poor woman
had with tbo flaiuee; and It Is humane, at
least, to hope that the accident wss muxed
by a lit of some kind, and Hint she was uu
emiHeious when the Br w-lre-d lmr.
