Where was any, authority unde, the con- stitution for the House to recognize a state government. Neither the House nor the Sen- ate had any authority to do such an act. The House had moreover stul tified itself in this matter, for, afler passing a resolution recog- nizing the Kellogg government, it had ad- mitted to seats members elected on the Me- Enery ticket. He said that if he (Mr. M.) had the ear of the President he would urge and implore him to undo the error which he had committed in sustaining this Kellogg usurpation, and if the President would not reirleve this disgrace, Congress ought to re- verse his action and restore the lawful gov- ernment of the state of Louisiana. The Senate then went into executive ses- sion and then adjourned.

CABINET COMPLICATIONS IX FRANCE.— The French cabinet combination of Monday has failed in consequence of M. Buffet’s refusal to enter the proposed ministry, and the general unwillingness of leading politi- cians to join a government the existence of which is considered Precarious. M. Buffet resided at yesterday's sitting of the assem- y, after announcing Monday that his doing so would signify that he had relinquished the attempt to form a cabinet. When the acsem- bly had adjourned, M. Buffet received aud rejected overtures to join a combination formed by a fraction of the assembly under M. Wallon, and this scheme has also fallen through. The left are indignant over the delay in the formation of a ministry.
