Special Inspatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Onuzays, Feb.-6.—There has been con- siderable excitement to-day,consequen! upon the action of the Conservative caucus of mombers of tne Legislature agreciog to take their seats and pass a joint resolution recognizing the logality of the Kellogg Government. The article of agreement is as follows : Wauenras, It is detirous to adjust the difficulties growing outof the general election in this State in 1879, the action of the Returning Board in declaring and promulgating tho resulta of the general election in the month of November tast, and the crganization of the Louse of Representatives ou the 4ta January lest, such adjustment being deemed necessary to the re-establishment of resce and order in tite State; now, therefore, the undersigned membera of the ‘Conservctive purty, claiming to bayo been elected memters of the Houee of Representalivesyand that their certificates of election have been illegally withheld by the Returning Board, hereby severally agree to submit their claims to seats in the House of Representatives to the award atid arbitration of George F. Hoar, Wi a Wheeler, William H. Frye, and Sxmucl S. Marshall, members of the Congresaional Committee, now in New who are hereby authorized to examine and determine the same upon the oguities of the sev— eral cages, and, whenauch award shall be made, we hereby severally agreo to sbide by the same, and such (of ua at mty me mem! of the House of Representatives under tuis arrangement hereby several'y agree to sustain by our influence and votes the joint resolution horeinafter set forth, and the undersigned, claimin to havo been elected "Senators from the Efghth an ‘Twenty-second Senatorial Districts, hereby agree to sutmit their claims to the foregoing award snd arbi. trament, and in all respects to abide the results of the same; .ond the undersigned, holding cer- tificates of ‘election fram the Returning Board, hereby severally agree, that upon the coming in of the award of the foregoing arbitrators, they will, when the eame shall have been ratified by report of the Commuttes on Elections of the House of Representatives, attend the report ; seated, then the undorsighed severally sgreo that im- mediately upon the adoption of said report, they will ‘vote for ths fotlowing resolutions : Waeneas, Doubts have existed and still exist as the legal results of the election in this State in the month of November, 1872; and Warneas, It is’ alleged by s large portion of this State believed that the result of election for members of the House of Representatives and for Treasurer in the month of November last was il'egally determined and promulgsted by the Returning Board ; and |Wienras, These doubts, allegations, and belief have tended greatly to disturb the pubiic mind and unsettle confidence, and injuriously to affect the material in- ine sean This aeemmed tothe welfare of i jeemed necesea1 0 welfare of the Stato that an adjasiment of ihe foregoing ties should be effected; therefore, bil Be it hereby resoloed By the GeneralAseembly of the State of Louisiana, that said Assembly, without ap- proving the same, will not disturb the present Stato Government, claiming to have been olected in 1870, and known 34 tho Kellogg Government, sock to im- peach the Governor for any past oficial acts, and that henceforth will accord to seid Governor all necessary and legitimate support“ in main- tuining jaw and advencing the peace and prosperity of the people of this State, and that the House of Kepresentatives, as to its members 28 consti~ tuted under the award of Gevrge F. Hear, Wiliam A. Whee'er, William H. Frye, and Samuel S, Marshall, shall remain without chanzo except by resignation or death of members until new general elestion, and thatthe Senate herein recognized shall remain an~ changed except so,far as thst body may itsclf make changes on contests, ‘This was adopted by 88 yeas to 27 nays, It was agreed upon at alate hour last night, and this afternoon the organ of the Bourbons, the Bulletin, came out in bitter opposition to the pro~ pored adjustment. « A meting was called for this evening at Clay's Statue for the purpose of expressing indigna- tion at the action of the legislators, It was ad- dressed by E. J. Ellis, mamber of Congross- elect, who denounced the proposition to recog- nize Kellogg in unmeasured terme, while he had in bis possession # commission signed },, by Gov. Kellogg entitling him to ad- mission to Congress. He declared that, while Teepublicanism was receiving iis deata-blows at tho hands of the Louisians members of the Democratic party, they wore by their own action pouring oil upon the gaping wound. Ho said that the Conservative members dare not return to their souté, and the remark was greeted with cheers and cries of “Let them do it of they dare.” John McEnory also spoke in the eame vein. The Conservatives who voted for the propo- sition are intensely indizuant at the manner in which their action is treate.] and tho evident dis- position shown to coerce them. Judge Wheo'er, of the Congressional Com- mitteo, stated to your correspondent that the proposition came originally from the Democrate that too Committee should arbitrate, or that ho personally should do so, but ho preferred not to agsume the responsibility. The proposition was drawn up by Judge Wheeler, including the joint resolation. There was such a howl made when it became known what the Conservatives had done that they immediately modified their proposition so as uotte pass the joint resolution recognizing Kellogg, but intend to pledge themselves to do nothing prejudicial to his legal- ity. is ve: probablo that the mesting to-night will have — tho effect to frighten the Representatives out of all thoaghts of compromise. ‘The coun- thie? being ic vory great necd of legislation for their benefit. ‘The opsonents of the scheme de- clare that the recognition of Kellogg and tho present Houso would bave a disastrous effec: op the National Democratic party, who look to Louisiana for political capital in 1976. ‘The Committee of Sevonty to-night, it is eaid, expressed itself opposed to acompromite. ‘The Picayune favors it, and also the Times. Lhe Republicans have not yet been consulted in the matter. A great deal of bitterness is expreasod on koth sides of the Democratic party.—those who favor compromise, and those who sdo not. Gov. Kellogg stated to-night that be believed the compromise would succzed. Ho was willing to make eny conceseion in hia power. McEvery expresses birmself 28 cou fideat that the compromise will be defeated, aud that Kellozg will be accorded no recognition. He wants vo ompromize that dozs not enter into the election of 1872, THE WILTZ PARTY PROTEST.

Private dispatches have been received here to-day in numbers, showing tha: tere is every reason to believe that the compromise will be effected. Penn bas gone heart and soul into the compromise move- ment. AlcEncry refuses to indorse it, but it will be made without regard to him or the few Extremist, acting with him. The great body of the people in and onf of Now Orleans ardently desire peace, and are ling to attain the end of the proposed terms. GEN. OGDEN, the commandant of tha White League, snd prob- ably the most influential man in the State with the half-blooded, turbulent class which does the fighting whenever violence 1s resofted to, alao favors the compromise, avd is i for its success. He will probably issue 8 proclamation to-morrow, setting furth that the exigency ont of which the White League sprang has passed away, and, as there is no longer any necessity for its existence, ordering it to dis- band. Judge Fields has been frantically teleSraphing to the Attorney-General that Kelloge is solling out the Administration party. It seems tikely that tne modera:e wise men of both parties will succeed in getting control, in which case a per- manent peace. nill be eatablished. [x0 the Associated Press. ~ New Onteans, Feb. 6.—Io the Conservative caucus last night the debate on the compromise was kept up until after midnight. The proposi- tion under consideration was that the Conserva- tly tives shoud have a majority of about ten in the House, and tnat the past action of tho Kellogg Government should not be inquired into. The vote stood 38 1m favor of the compromise to 27 againet it. Aftertne vote, Speaker Wiltz, it is stated, tendered his resignation, and Gov. Me- Enery, eho was prosout by courtesy, ssid: by this action of the caucus it was-evident to him that it was time to lower the Democratic banner, and he therefore wished to retire. weg ARKANSAS. ‘WARD'S MINORTY, REPORT. Boecial Dispatch to The Chicaas Tribune, Wasurxcroy, D. C., Feb. 6.—Mr. Ward, of Il- linois, the single dissonting momber of the Com- mittee, presents minority report, and takes an entirely different view of tho testimony. In his report he says: If bandittior a mob of. armed men may take pos- session of a State, depose ita officers, arrest its Judges, close ita courts, intimidate its people through vio- lence and murder, provide ite own way for holding and {ta orm officers to hold eleétions, and its own otticers to declare the result, the frait of such defiance of law are "binding upon the people of such State and upon Congress, then the present pretended Government of Arkansse is legitimate, and must be recognized as such, but not otherwise, Those who will read the evidence must ba satisfied that there was arelgn of terror throughout Arkansas during the period 1a which the so-called Gar- iand Government was being formed and set in motion, entirely inconsistent with > fulland fuir expression of tho will of the people on that subject. After aseartmng that violent acts wore perpe- trated in different pilrts of the State, Mr. Ward continues : = Men in office were impeached without cause or no- fice, and ejected by military power. Propexty of pri- vate citizeua was taken iliegally and without compen- sation to the owners, The Jadzes of the Supreme Court were arrested by armod force, subjected to in- sult atid abuse, couceled, and finally spirited away to be acsussinated if any attempt sbould be made for their resene, or if they should attempt to escape, Mounted bands of desperate men swarmed the coantry to awe and intimidate the colored people. Even at their barbecues and jubilations, men high 4 ormmand of the so-calied midis, end at tho Bead and in possession of a etrong force of their own nien, threatened quiet and peaceable citizens witlr death by hanging. uxter himeelf was daily muttering his curses, and, surrounded by his troops, atlected bo- cause they were desperate men and would fire on the Suoreme Court, constantly uttered his profane threats toarrest and bang or drive from the State the last Brooks man, Attention is then called to some of the moro objectionable features of the pew Constitution, among which is the one omitting the clause iu relation to loyalty. and thatin relation to tho recognition of the sa!e of school Jands made un- der the Confederate Government. The report continges: ‘The Legislature have inaugurated steps which took to the pristical restoration of Slavery, Bills have been introduced, first, sbolishing the dietiuctions between grand and petit larceny, oud making them, as well as Sngrancy, felonies, and punishable by imprisonment in the Penlientisry ; second, setting up a system of sub-Penitentiaries In each county of the Stato; third, the eal of the labor of all convicts, The result of these laws will be, that all colored mon will soon Le driven from the State, or subjected to im- prisonment, s ‘The report concludes as follows?
