The Honse mot et 12 o’ctock, and was called to order by Chief Clerk Vigers, who called tho roll, with fifty Democrata present. Immediately after Vigers finished calling tho roll, a motion was made to proceed to tho election of o temporary Speaker. A THING UNKNOWX tothe lawa of this State, Rogers refused to en- tertain tho motion, but, beforo he could explain the fact. a member nominated an ox-Mayor of Now Orleans, Louis A Wiltz, a8 Speaker, and called for all in favor to voto yea. <A fowro- sponues wero made ond Mr. Wiltz, who was silting on tho lower stair leading to the Speaker's chair steppod quickly up, took the gavel from the hands of the Clovk, and DECLARED HIMSELY Temporary Speaker of the House. The oath wan adminietored co him by a Justice of the Peace, and he proceoded to SWEAD IN THR MOUSE EN MASSE, declining to ontertain a motion for the yous and uays on this and on every othor question, While ho was in tho Chair, tho Ropublicans at this timo boing ina majorityin thelouas, By those meang, the Democrats secured @ pormanuent or- ganization.

The sol- diors were, howover, in tho lobby, having been brought there in accordance with a rosolu- tion adopted by Domocratic members to ejoct the police, After protesta by tho Democrats as. to tho une of force Ly military ofiicers, tho Dem- ocrats retired, aud the Republicans, who had just returned, ORGANIZED THE NOUS by the election of e1-Gov, Michael Hahn as Speaker. ‘hero wero present in the House to- day, during tho oxcitomeni, Messrs, Lotter, Foutor, aud Vholps, of the Congressional Comnutteo, Sonator Pinchback, Gon.

Aftor the Democrats retired they made : SPEECHES TO THE EXCITED chowD near the Capitol.

Tho anti-Kellogg element feel ter- ribly outraged at tho interference of the military, but, instead of sarousiog a florea, rovengoful spirit, it seems to have bad a dis- heartoning, depressing offect upon thom, Many of them say that thoy now have no longor any hope,—that they will not expoct any chango, nor endeavor to briog any about, until there is # obange in the National Administration. Tho greater portion, however, of the snti-Kollogg | CHICAG O, TUESDAY, party atill cling to the hope, in @ forlorn way, that thoy may yot accomplish their cherished purpore, Theancsnein tho State-House st tho time for organizing tho Legislature WAS STARTLING, ‘The Congressional Committos were in attend- ance on the requort of the Domocratic caucns held the avening preuious, although Mr. Potter, of New York, strenuously objected, and refused to onter tho bar of the House, Tho interested partics wore all in in A QUIVER OF EXCITEMENT, and the Democrats looked like men dotermined to play a desperate, dangerous gamo, staking all upon the result, ‘Their plan was well digested end Drillisntly oxcented. and in tho storm of ayes and noes, whether Mr. Wiltz was elected Temporary Speakor or not, tho motion was do- clared carried, BY THE MEMBER WHO MADE IT, and in less than ten seconds Wiltz wos in the chair, gavel in hand, receiving the orth at the hands of # judicial officer conveniently near. With firmness and coolucss Wiltz ruled avery- thing unfavorable to bim and his party out of ordir until tho result was accomplished so far aa his party could sccormpliah it. NO REMISTANCE WAS ATTEMPTED when tho military supplanted Wiltz and restored tho hall to the Kelloggiton, It is remarkable that this movement, liko that of 1863, which ie clanned as the precedent for this, was engineered by Gen, MeMillon, 9 McEnery Sonator, formerly of Ohio. ‘Che Demerats held a caucun to-nisht, tho result of which at this writing hns not trans- pired, but itia probable they willuresaize + TAR OWN LEGISLATURE to-morrow, sotup tho McEnory State Govern- meut and appeal tu tho President, Vice-President, and Speaker Blaine for recognition.

In his testimony before the Committes, Mr. Wiltz claios that he would not have acted upon tho preecdent of 1469 if tho legality of that Leg- iglatura bad not been repeatedly affirmed by tho courts, and if tho laws passed by it bad uvs remained in full force and virtue, The Legielaturo of 1868 was Kepublican and organ- ized by Republicans. The United States soldiers in tho hall at the moniens were ordered by the Representires to go out, and weut out, GDNERAL PRESS DISPATCH, New Oncvans, Jan. 4-14 m.—Tho members havo assembled in tho hall of tho House, and ars the most orderly body of legislators so far that bag assembled in Louisiana for many years. Mersrs. Foater aud I’holps, of the Cougrearional Committee, have just entered the hall of the House, aud wero seated near the reporters’ desk, declining sents on the platform. Tho Chief Clerk called {he Monee to order, and pro- coedcd to call the roll. After finishing it, and snnouncing that thero wero 102 members present and a quorum, a motion was immediately mado that tho Hon. L. A. Wiltz, of Oricans, bo mado temporary Chair- man, Mr, Wiltz immodiately took tho chair, Then tho utmost confusion provailed, The Bpezker appointed Sergeants-at-Arma, and a tomporary Clerk was appointed. Several motions wero made, and tha confusion increased, about fitty mombors yelling at tho top of their voices. Finally order was restored, and the Chairman mado a specch, stating that ho would treat all mensbera oqualiy, of whatever party or color. Col. Lowell protested againkt tho mauner of the temporary organization, Spoaker Wiltz replied thet tho manuer of organization was identical with that of 1868, in which Mr. Lowell par- ticipated. Vivo members, not roturned by the Board, were declared, by resolution, mombers of tho Iouage, and took their seats, A motion was thon offered to go into PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. This raised s commotion among tho Republicans, but when s furthor motion was iade to Beat tho members from the contested parishes referred to tho Legislature tho excitemont, aceompanied with shouts and oxclamntions of ali kinds, was fearfuttohear. Murrill protested against Mr. Wiltz na Chairman, ond etigmatized the course pursued in placing him thero ag revolutionary. A motion wos then put to admit tho members from four contested parishos, roserving the mattor of cantest for and it was carrie] omid the wildost excitement and gesticulations upon tho Radical side. ‘Lo such 2 poiut did tue oxcitement roach, that the Sergeant-at-Arms was called upon to soat members andreserve order. Tho nowly- declared mombers from tho contested parishos in question, viz. : Bienvillo, Winn, Desoto, and rant, wore duly sworn in by the Speaker.

Ho sald that ho Lad been clected a metbor of the Logislature from his parish ; that. ho was a Republican, but in all mattors of re- form aud good govorntocnt ho waa willing to go with any party bnving thoss onda in view. Ifo had been put in nommation for the Speakership by bis patty without scoking it, ‘I'he posttion, or auy other position in the gift of the Legisia- ture, could bring jim no additional honor, Ho would gladly relinquish his claim at any timo if ho thought it for tho publis good. Their business our commerco wero all languishing, thoir planta- tions wore sold ont for taxes, tho country was awarming with officcholders who ought to bo ewopt away. All thesa things must be reformod, and ho regrotied to geo so much of 4 party spirit displayed 1n this House that bo bad lopad to sev & House which would bo united in tho matter of logiatativa reform, Ho protested agninst this organization, and askad tho Domocrate to joiu with Lim and others in their efforts to bring about an honoxt aud economical Government, ‘thoy had many reforms to make, He had no hositation in pronouncing tho Election taw a frand and a wroag, and he wanted to wep it and all other such laws repealed; but Le declined to Participate in thiy body, orgunized as it was, and he thorefore entored his protest against it.
