The Court maintains its original jurisdiction in cases brought by the Stato, but holds that it would not extond to vrivale suits; aflirms the constitutionality of the PTotter Jaw; rojects lho theory that this law wos repealed by tha asct of March 12, prescribing that fho railroads shall make rensonnblo rates ; aad, finally, grants the injunction naked for the Htate compolling theso two railronds to comply with the provisions of the Potior luw.

The ftate has beon ina commotion over sinco Kellogg took his usurped seat, and it is most likely that his ro- cont atops to control the roturns of the ap- proaching November eloction gnve the sigunl to , tho othor gido that thoy must striko now or never. A brief resume of tho inception of the Kollogg Govornment muy bo required to show how that dynasty camo into power and how it has boen so long majntained, At tho Btato eloction of 1872 tho candidates for Governor woro John McEnory and W, P. Kollogg. Tho Governor at the timo of tha oloction was H. 0. Warmoth, aud tho Lioutonant-Governor ono Pinchback, & mulatto. ‘Whon tho election toolk place, tho State Board of Canvassors, including tho Governor, divided ; a colorad mon named Lynch and anothor #ot themsclves up ns the Lynoh Canvassing Board ; Gov. Warmoth and tho others had all tho roturns of the cloction. Tho Warmoth Board cauvassed tho rotwms and doclared the rosult. The Lyach Board, not having any returns, pub- lishod (as Mr, Lynch statod under oath at Wash- ington) the result as ho aud his friends thought it ought to be. The Warmoth Board declared McEnery elocted, nud the othor declared Kellogg. olected. Warmoth convenod tho Legislature ; but, bofore it met, Kollogg obtained from Judge Duroll, of the United States Court, an order prohibiting anv porson entoring the Stato-Houso or noting a8 a momber of the Logis. Inture save those declared to bo elected by the Lynch Board. Tho Leglalature tbus crested by Judgo Durell's order im- peached tho Governor, thus creating & vacanoy, and Pinchback nssumed tho duties. Judge Durell then igsued another ordor, directing the United States Maranal to seizo tho State-Houso aud other buildings, omploying United States troops for that purpose, and to hand them over to Pinchback. BlcEnery was enjoined from claim- ing to bo Governor, and tho Legialuture elected with him was prohibited from meeting. Tho Prosidont of the United Siates countonanced theso proceadiugs, and directod tho troops to support them, Kollogg thus, in defiance of the ‘\\-iuhes of the peoplo, having no warrant save tho order of & drunien aud corrupt Judgo, be- camo Govornor, and with him was inaugurated a Leglslature croatod by the same judicial order. The Sewate of tho United States, through & commilteo copsisting of soven of tho ablost mon, all Ropublicans, unadimously reported that Duroll's orders woro usurpa- tions, and that ol that took ,placo under them was void; that the Lynch Board had no suthonty to declare any result, and bed no ro- turns bofore {t. This Committee consisted of Sonators Morton, Logan, Carponter, Trumbull, Antbony, TIill, and Aleorn, Tho Committoe did not agroé 8 to the remedy. Mr. Carpenter and the majority woro in favor of ordering a now clection, freating all tho procoedings ns void ; My, Trumbull favored the recognition of Me- Euery as Governor ; whilo Mr, Morton alone in- sisted that Kellogg should bo recognized as Govornor until & new clection could be hnd undor the diroction of the Kellogg adminiatra- tion. . Ponding action on this roport, Congress adjourned March 8, 1873, When Congross met lass winter, 80 improssed was tho Prosidont with the necessity for somo action, that he prepared a spoefal mesengo to Congress urging them to provide for a new cloction in Louisiana, aud thus put an end to the Keltogg usurpation. Tuformation of this message roacking Mr, Mor- ton, ho remonstrated with tho Prosidont and provailed onhim to withhold it. Senpator Car- pontor in his report fnsistod that, it Congress pormitted such & waoton outrago ss tho Koliogg usurpation to coutinuo, it would roeult in elvil war, That roport, signed by M. I, Carponter, of Wisconsin, Jobu A. Logan, of Ilitnols, Honry B. Authony, of Rhode Island, and J. J. Alcorn, of Missisaippl, sll strong Republican partisans, ‘usos the following languago: It s tho opinion of your Committes that but for the unjustifisble interference of Judge Durell, whose or- ders were oxeented by United Btates troops, tho can- vass munile by tho Do Ferlat Dosrd, and promulgated by the Governor, declaring McEnery to have been olceted Governor, ste,, and also declaring who had been clected to tho Legislature, would have beeu acqui- esced I Ly the people, and that Goverumont would have cntered quiotly upon tho oxerclso of the yov- erofgn power of tho State, ¢ Aftor stating that tho McEnory Government was de jure and tho Kellogg the de faclo Gov- ornment, these Benators eny: 'Tho Rellogg Government 15 in possession of the Btuto-House, tho #eal, archives, and rocords of the Btate, sl {tu omply Troavury, There aro two bodics of mon fu that Stato, ene claiming to bo tho Sonato aud the ofher tho Mouse of Ropresontatives, who roc- ognizo Kellogg ond Lis assoclatos as tho officers of tho Stuto, Butthetois not and never has beon n quorum of both Mouac? whio bavoauy pretonsa of having been eloctod to thely sests, This pretended Legislaturo s dufly paswing Jaws, and Kellogg 1 approving or ve- tolug them, The Committes, atter roferring to tho injury dana tho Btate by such & condition of things, sny gmphntlcu]ly $ Bhould Congross adjonrn without meking provision for tho case, 0n0 of two thinga must result, Either collisfon and bloodshed botweon tho adherouts of the two Govarnments or tho Presidont must continue tho lup:;orl of Fodoral authoslty tothe Kellogg Govern, ment, To avold suoh civil war, or the upholding of a frandulont and usurping Govornment, the Come mitteo advised that Congrosy should ordor & now election, Mr, Kollogg has made hla Govornment so datestablo and odious that ho has arrayoed sgainst bim the eatire white populution of tho Btate and a largo body of the better informed and most reputable colored poopte.

This he doos, 88 ho says, prollminary to omploying the milliary forces of tho United Btatos, in auawor to tho appoal of tho Excoutive of tho Btato, to suppross tho fnsurrcction. By this, though it is by no means as oloar na it might bo, the Prosidont indicates s purposo to rolnstato Kollogg in possossion of the Govorn- mont, with, of courso, all tho dwtatorial powers couforrod upon him by the Loglslaturo, which comprisos & part of the usurping Governmont of tho Btato. . Had thia Kollogg usurpation beon attempted in Obio, IMuols, or Michigan, it would not have boon tolorated ono dny by tho peoplo of aituer Btato; norcould all the srmy and navy of tho United Btatos have induced or compelled them to submlt to such an atrocious despotism and froud, Whot has taken placo in Lonisiana twenty months afier the crime was first com- mitted would Lave taken plnco horo on thoin- staut, and no Fodoral troops nor Excontivo proc- lamations would have beon intorposed or could Lavo availed to restrain tho outraged pooplo from hurling tho usurpors from thoeir plages, Tho Prosidont long sinco was fully satisfled that ko committed an error in rocognizing Kellogg and employing Fodoral troops to pat him in power. He has moro than onco appealed to Congress to rofiovo him from fho consequences of such an nct. The responsibility is now upon him. If he is to do anything more than issue bis proclama~ tion, we hopo he will put a military officor In oxecutivo command, and Lold the Btato in that condition until Congress shall moetand porform - ita long-noglocted duty in the promisea, THE STORY OF LOUISIANA. Tob. 22, 1864, tuo firat * Froc-State” Govornor of Louisians, Michael Hahn, was electod by tho Lulf-dozon parishes thon under Federal control. Gon. Banke supoervised the clection. In March a Constitutlonal Convontion mot and drow up o Constitution which abohshed slavory. In Sop- tomber the'six parishes adopted this instru- mont. Congressmon woro clectod st the same timo, but thoy wore nover admitted to the Houso. At tho olose of the War, all these arrangements collapsed. Tho provalent thoory was that Louisiana was a Torritory. In tho spring of 1865, an olection for Territorial Dologato took place, Hoary C. Warmoth, ex-Licatenant-Col- onol in Graut’s Army of tho Tonnessoo, and ox- Provoat-Judgoe undoer Banks in'Now Orloans, got tho negro vote, and wag ohosen, A purso of 15,000 was mado up for him, and ho wont to Washiogton, Congross would have nothing to do with bim, but* President Jobnson appointed him Treasury Agent and sont him to Gaiveston.

The Conatitution it framod was adopted by tho peoplo in Msy, 1868, At ibat time Warmoth was elected Gov- ernor by 64,001 votesto 88,046 for Taliaferro, tho Democratic candidato. Warmoth was at onco inaugurated. Tho Logislature waa overwhelm- ingly Ropublican and dishonest. Tho Presiden- tial campaign of 1868 was disgraced by a number of riols. On olection-day, very fow nogroes votod. Intimidation was doubtioss the grest cause of this, although it is claimed that the party- manngers, forescoing cortaln dofoat, kept their followers from tho polla for the sako of plonding forrorism thereafter. In 1869 the ‘mammoth jobbery which doatroyed tho ovedit of Louigiauns and ewolled hor dobt to its prosent enormous proportions fairly began. In 1871 tha Ropublicans quarreled over the apoile, The Assombly elocted, at differont timos, two Speak- ors, pro-and anti-Wermoth. Baoun aftor it ad- journment, a Republican Btato Conventlon was to meot at Now Orlosus. Aug. 9, 1871, this body agsemblod.

It was spoadily known that Mo- Enory was olooted by about 10,000 majority. Tho Kollogg party, in dospair, got altidavita by 4,000 nogrocs that colored voters had boon kept awny from tho polls, and thnt It was probablo that tho Roturning Board would not count tho votes cor- roctly. On tho strongth of thoso flimsy atate- monts, Unitod Btates Clrenit-Judge 0. 1T, Duroll enjolned Warmoth from counting tho votes, and orderod him to turn ovor tho roturns to an uttor- Iy Megnl Roturniug DBoard, organized in the in- torosis of Kollogg, Warmoth kopt tha roturns, On this samo day Duroll orderod Packard to oc- oupy tho BStato-Ilouse with TFodoral troops, Thin wag dono, and tho Logisiaturo which War- moth hd convoued was kopt from sssombling.

Two days thoreafter, two Legislatures met. The Kollogg crow of usurpers promptly impoached Warmoth, suspended him from offico until trial, and declared Liout.-Gov.

Morton thought Grant's recognition of Kellogg sottled the question. Trumbull thought McEnery should borecognizod! Tho Senato dodged. On tho night of Fob, 28, 1873, it voted that tho Kellogg Goverument should continue until tho election provided for in tho majority roport should take place, and then it tablod tho report and discharg- ed tho Committee, s0 that tho oloction could nover tako place. Bince then On'mcnwr hog brought tuo matter bofore the. Bonato twico. Grant ouco prepared o proclamation against Kellogg, but at the last momont Morton had it supprossed. Kollogg bas remained in power, but his Bonator-olect—PInchback—has not boen admitted to the Souate. The people of Louisiana, denied all redress by Congress and plundered and tyraunized over by Kellogg sod his crow, bave very genorally rofuged to pay the taxes illogally imposed upon them, and have consequontly had their property gold under tho hammor. At last, when thoy 8aw that tho infamous registration and cloction lawa put it within Kellogg's power to count him- sclt and bls gang fnto ofiico foraver, they roso in despair and took the law into their own honds, Ill-advised this action may have been, but no impartinl student of the tangled wob of fraud, and treachory, sud violonce which has medo up the bistory of Louisiana for tho last dooado can wonder that it finally came to pass.

Tho Globe admits that an unfavorablo impresslon wag made from the first by Bocchor's Jottors, and considers, that they wore tainted from beginning to end with a spirit of uncandid ovasion nud daring mystiication, and, by his conduct attor geandal got abroad, hard to got over. His offorts to hush up tho mattor, roadi- ness to pay money for Tilton, monoy to xehool tho girl whoso tonguo was too busy, his visit to Tilton after thuo accusation, and to Mrs. Titon after sho had joinedin the sccnéation, are harder than.all. ‘Tho oxtraordinary circumstanco of Beochor, a man of 60 yeaxs, briliant minister of the Gos- pal, throwing lumself in a belplesa way on tha good oficos of o young man ot profossing Christianity, and of slondor abilitics compared with his own, with deoo confidence and much gratitudo for mupposed good oilicos ho pe; formed, apposrs noarly iucrodible.
