THE PROSPECTS OF GENERAL BURNSIDE—PROB- ABILITIES OF A COMPROMISE BY THE LEGIS- LATURE. Newrost, Jan. 16, 1875, The Legislature of this State will meet on Tues- day morning in Providence, and at noon the two bodies will go into Jomt convention and cast the «twenty-second ballot for a United States Senator to succeed Hon.

To alloutward appearances the vexed question has not materially changed, and the prospect is that many more bailots will have to be taken be- fore achoice will be made. Jumes M. Pendie- whose term expires as representa- the Western district on March 4, is the only new name of prominence which has been mentioned im the meantime, but his chances are not thought cncouraging. Hope 18 cherished by the temperance element that Governor Howard may de elected, out as he par- ticularly refused the nomination when 1t was known that he could be elected his success at the present outlook seems very donbtiul. te will not again receive the support he did at that time, and he could not now be elected even il he publicly retracted his reiusal, owing to the decided scana he took in reference to the Probipitory taw, which, a8 in Massachusetts, will be the issue at the State election in April, General Burnside 1s still the principal candidate, and bis friends are still a unit and determined to ieave nothing undone to secure the position for him.

The carding and weaving room of the Aquid- neck Mill will stop to-night unless the weavers who quit their looms on Thursday in anticipation ofthe reduction on Monday next go to work on Monday. The spinning room will be in operation on Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Congdon, the Su- Perintendent, informs us that the best weavers can make $8 @ week Under the reduction, while at Fall River they can make only $7 20, ' Not only are wages here better than in Fall River, but the cost of living 18 less. Operatives there pay $72 jor tenements interior to those for which $60 is paid here. Mute spinners here receive $12 and over per week for tending frames of 900 spindies. In Fall River they get only $9 a week, and the frames contain 1,400 spindles. The miil is now run at a loss, in view of the duiness of the cotton market. Unless the strikers retorn the mili will be closed on Wednesday, and 175 per- sons thrown out of employment. It is hoped a compromise will be made belore it is too late and the weavers be induced to resume work on Mon- day. Itis claimed that they will be influenced by the action of the Fall River meeting this evening. _ LOUISIANA. the Quiet Waiting in Crescent City. Preparing for the Washing- ton Committee. Debate in the United States Senate. Yesterday’s SHERMAN DEFENDS GRANT. The Attempted Suppression of the Sub-Com- mittee’s Report. NEw ORLEANS, Jan. 16, 1875. Both parties are quiescent, apparently awaiting the arrival of the committee from Wasbington, but the most imtenso interest 1s manifested con- cerning the proceedings of Congress. Sheridan recelyed a report to-day from General Merrill, at Shreveport, describing a very disorganized state of affairs im that section ; idle negroes roving about the country in small bands, committing larcentes and other depredations calculated to alarm and ex- cite the white residents, The radicals announce their intention to assume the offensive before the Investigating Committee tn regard to the affair of September 14, by placing White Leaguers upon the stand. In case any of them acknowledge partici- pation they intend proceeding against them for murder. The republicans here assert tnat the report of the Louisiana sub-committee goes outsiae the record, and that no testimony was brought before them to show the finding of illegal legislative warrants for the displacement of judges by Kellogg or tho seizure of arms by the police without process of law. They assert that specific evidence will be adduced to disprove these other allegations of the committee, which, they say, are based solely on briefs of democratic counsel. The Picayune says:—“At the State House Kellogg has been closeted with Marshal Packard and a tew of the leading spirits of the radical party, supposed for the purpose of & consultation to devise ways and means jor bringing as many witnesses as possible, favorable to their side, before the Congressional committee. The plan, as under- stood, is to summon one prominent republican from each parisb, with accidental witnesses from particalar points.” SUPPRESSION OF THE REPORT. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 1875. Here is the curious story of how Mr. George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, tried desperately fur five days to suppress the truth about the Louisiana election and the dispersion of the Legislature, ana failed at last. On Monday last the sub-committee, consisting of Megsrs. Foster, Phelps and Potter—two republi- cans and one demoorat—made their report to the Louisiana special committee, of which they were apart, The report was unanimous, and tt told an ugly tale for the President, which he had pru- dently refused to hear. The committee aftera brief consideration of the report, on the sugges. tion of Mr. Hoar, recommitted 1t, in order that an addition. trifling and unimportant in its nature, Might be made, At the same time Mr. Hoar, who is chairman of the committee, denied the jurisdic- tion of the sub-committee to make an Independent Teport at all, asserting that they nad been sent down to New Orleans to ascertain wnether it was advisable for the rest of the committee to go down, When this got out in tbe House the jokers began to ask Mr. Foster whetber he was realy Mr. Hoar’s errand boy. EFFORTS TO STRANGLE THE REPORT. Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday the re- port, nuw the subject of a flerce battie, lay in Mr. Foster’s hands. Rumor says that efforts were made to indace him to change the wording of the Teport and even its meaning. As the report, how- ever, only recapitulates the evidence, and makes no suggestions, 1t was impossible to change it, and Mr. Foster, who is & man of honor, would not put himself in the ridiculous position «f making a !alse report, which would aiterward be contradicted by the evidence. Last night, the report being amended as ordered, a meeting of the {nll committee was held, which lasted very late, aud in which renewed and des- perate efforts were made by the partisan mem- | bers of the committee to prevent the pudlication of the report. Unluckily for those who wanted to suppress it, they discovered that if they insisted on rejecting the report entirely, whicn was their first attempt, the sub-committee would be at liberty to give it to the public over their own names, which undoubtedly they would nave done, it was, therefore, accepted by the committee; but with the hopathat this acceptance would be a means of its suppression. HUMILIATING EXPEDIENTS FOR SUPPRESSION FAIL. The committee then attempted to amend tne report by adding a supplement containing con- clusions at variance with the lacts. This was re- sisted, but defeated only alter a sharp contest, in which itis said that high words passed between several members of the committee. When this expedient failed, nothing remained but the adop- tion of the report by the whole committee; but at this stage of the proceedings Mr. Hoar made an- other and final effort at delay and suppression. SCHEME TO KIDNAP THE DOCUMENT. The House having adjourned over until Monday, and Mr. Hoar baving announced his intention to leave on Monday tor New Orleans, he now wanted time to read over the report, and it was seen that ihe took enough time he might get out of the way, and being the committee’s chairman, who has to communicate with the House on their behalf, the report would, alter all, have been suppressed. The sub-committee were, however, awake to the determination to suppress them. They had already fought flercely in the interests of truth. Mr. Hoar ana Mr. Phelps had had angry words, and Mr. Potter had threatened, unless the truth was permitted to see daylight, that he would resign his position on the committee and publish the sub- stance of the report over his own name, in which it is believed, Mr. Phelps would have Joined him, Seeing, therefore, the imminent danger of Mr. Hoar pocketing the report at the last moment, a protest was prepared and would have been pre- sented to the House, stating the facts in the case, and under fear of this, it is understood, he at last agreed that he would present the report to the House yesterday afternoon, which ne did, and it Was ordered to be printed, MR. HOAR’S FLATTERING DEFFAT, And 80, at !ast, Mr. Hoar, who wished to report that the Legislature, whose assembling had pre- viously been depicted, was “a tumultuous and irregular assembly,’ was obliged to adopt and in- troduce a report, over his own signature, by which the House and country are informea that “on the 3d of January the people of Loutsiana had a free, full and peaceable election, by which a conserva- tive majority was elected to the Legislature, who were deprived of their seats by the illegal, unjust and arbitrary action of the Returning Boara”—for these are the words ot the report. It must be added that the pressure brought to bear on Messrs. Phelps and Foster to vary from the dt- rectness of their report was of the strongest kind. FALSEHOOD HURLED AGAINST THE CHAMPIONS OF TRUTH. The local papers here having exhausted the com- mon terms of reproach, this morning discovered that Mr. Phelps was a drunkard, ana telegrams from New Orleans announce that proofs would be forwarded from there of his corruption. Not only this, but Kellogg sent a despatch to Mr. Hoar as serting tbat the committee had refused tp make a | thorough examination as requested, and asking | that @ more competent committee might be sent, On questioning Messrs, Potter and Phelps regard- ing the truth of this allegation of Kellogg, they frankly declared that 1: was a lie and that the sub- committee have in their possession letters from Kellogg expressing the highest confidence in thetr | Judgment and imparttility und declaring bis wish for Do other judges than them. TRUTH TO BE DEFIED, Finally, Messrs, Hoar, Wheeler and Fry, of the committee—ali three republicans and administra- tion men—are to go to New Orleans to try if they can find another story than that which they have Just adopted and reported to Congress. That ts to say, they are going down to whitewash Kellogg if they can, and to make sure of doing this unob- structedly they have the indecency to go without a single Yemocratic member. The country owes thanks to the three members of the sub-commit- tee—Messrs. Foster, Phelps and Potter—for the manly stand they have made against a continued and desperate attempt of the administration to | suppress the truth about Louisiana, DEBATE IN THE SENATE. WASHINGTON, Jan, 16, 1878, The Senate resumed to-day the consideration of the resolution of Mr. Schurz, instructing the Ju- dictary Committee to inquire what legisiation by Congress ts necessary to secure to the people of Louisiana their right of self-government under the constitution, &c., &c. Mr. SAULSBURY, (dem.) of Dol., concluded bis argument, commenced yesterday, He said the people of Loutsiana had protested against the Kel- logg governmeut in every way. They had ap- Pealed to the President, but were denied a hear- ing, as appeared from the telegram of Attorney General Williams informing tne committee it need not visit Washington, He argued that the opposi- tion to the Kellogg usurpation elected a decided majority to the Legislature, but Kellogg bad arranged the Returning Board to sult himself, and the members legally elected were counted out by the Board. Referring to the events which took place in New Orleans on the morning of the 4th inst., he said it was only by permission of Kellogg that members of the Legislature could enter the State House. He argued that the organization of the Legislature under Wiltz was periectly lezai, Alter Wiltz had been sworn in all the members, both democrats and republicans, arose and took the oath, thus recognizing Wiltz as Speaker. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) Of Ubio, satd as he under- stood the facts no republican members had been sworn in by Wiltz. Mr. BAYaRp, (dem.) of Del., said he had positive information that 102 members of the Legislature were sworn in by Wiltz, Three members of the House of Representatives were present at the organization of the Legislatare—Messrs, Sheldon, Morey and another whose name he coald not re- call, When Wiltz called upon the members of the Legislature to stand up and take the oath of oMice there were seven or eight colored members in the Tear of the hall who did not arise, and the three members of the other Mouse of Congress who were there went to them and told them to stand up, which they dia, Mr. SAULSBURY resuming, said there never had been & question of so much importance as this presented to the American people. It involved the liberties of the people of the whole country. Well might Mr, Evarts say in his specch at Cooper Institute, a few evenings since, that when this act Was done In one State it was done in all. He (Mr. Saulsbury) believed there were men all over the country who would respond to that sentiment, but he regretted exceedingly that it did not fina & proper response on the other side of this Cham- ber, He argied that there was a rapid tendency toward the centralization of power 1n this coun- try, aud that the States were to be depleted of the Tights guaranteed to them under the constitution. Every Senator on the other side who had spoken nad sought to excuse the act of the President in his military interference, but they nad been very Inconsistent, Hoe then read irom the constt. tution of Alavama the clause requiring the Lieu, tenant Governor to presiae over the Senate dur- ing the election of a United States Senator, when the Legislature should meet, &c., and argued that the Legislature which elected Mr. Spencer did not comply with the provisions of the constitution of the State. When the democrats opposed his ad- mission to the Senate on that ground the repubil- cans replied that those were mere questiors of form, Now they argued that Wiltz was not elected Speuker of the Louisiana House ol Representa- uves because the Clerk o1 the old House did not put the motion. In Louisiana there was nothing in the constitution requiring the Clerk of the old House to organize the succeeuing one. It was simply a Matter of statute law. Senators argued here that it was the intention of the demo- cratic Legislature to overturn the Kellogz govern- ment. They well Knew that Kellogy deserved to be impeached, and the right uf impeachment was ove ot the rights of tne Legisiatuie, here was not a particle of evidence to show that any effort was to be made to overturn Kellogg by Trevolu- tionary means. He would say Irankly that he was picased With the tone of the Prestdent’s Message. ie was pleased with it because 1 came in a suo- cued and respectful tone, He (the President) had heard the mwurmurtogs of discontent in this land. He _ reicrred to the speech made by the Senator irom Illinois (Logan) printed in the Record of to-day, and he — said for the first time in the history of the country he (Mr. Saulsbury) 1ound cartoons im the feord. ‘rhe universal cry on the otner side of the Cham. ber had been “murder and outrage.” the speech of Lhe Senator irom Iiinois (Mr. Logan) «as not an argument; tt was aeaunciator; party; an exmb:tion of the skull and cross bones. Common rnwor said this exmortion of a dean head, &c., Was an effort to prepare tae puoiue mind for the republican party taking military possession O| Louisiana, Mississippi, ArKauoas aud Alabama, and he dia pot Kuow now many more Southern States, and te compel them to vote Jor the republican party In the neat Presidential elec- ton, Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., Said the remarks of the Senator reminded him oi certain newspape enterprises, Where newspapers sometimes Lad news exclusive. The Senator was the only one who had tae news that these States were to be taken possession of ov the military power. Mr, SAULSBURY said if the Sedator intimated tbat he concocted tnis story it was faise. Mr. CONKLING said ft! the Senater nad heard such Tumors he had a cupacity for bearing greater than any other Senator. Le did not say the Senator had concocted the story, thereiore tie remark he (Mr. Saulsbury) made m reply was exceedingly out of place. if the Senator wished to put upoo him an affront vy the use of discourteous Jan- guage he (Mr. Conkling) would not avoid any oc- casion he might scek uv: that Kind. [He would. say to the senator if he coulo nov observe govud man- ners and decency in debate he would not shrink irom entering Upon the contest, even with the Senator from Delaware. “I repel as indecent and offensive the remarks he made.” Mr. SAULSBURY said that he inferred that the Senator (Mr. Conkling) intimated that he (Mr. Sauisbury) put the rumor in circulation. Wnen the Senator irom New York rove in his place and said he (Mr. Saulsbury) put such a ramor in circuia- tion he would resent it. He bad never offered an indignity to any Senator, but, so help his God, no Senator should ofer an affront to aim. Lt the Senator did not intend an insult he was sorry for whut he said, but he would not tamely submit to what he deemed an insult, even vefore the majesty of the Senator from New York. If that Senator desired to make a reply he could do it now or nercafter in his own way. Mr. CLAYTON, (rep.) of Ark., spoke of the exist- ence of the Ku Klux in the southern States tn war. past, and said it would be seen that the hite League of to-day was but the Ku Kiux of two years ago. He knew the organization did exist in Arkansas, for it became his duty as Gov- ernor of the State to investigate the matter. He Tead extracts irom the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Houston (Texas) Telegraph. Referring to ‘Tennessee he said the State was handed over five years ago, by treachery, to democratic rule, and Tread irom the report of tne attorney ior the Western district of that State in refer- ence to the trouble last summer, sent to the Senate by Attorney General Williams. He quoted from the despatch ot Governor Garland, of Arkan- sas, to the President, and said A. H. Garland, who styled himself Governor of Arkansas, had informed the ’resiaent that there were no Ku Klux in that State. Uf course not, because when the democrats came into power tuey immediately became State militia and were armed by tno State, In the State of Arkansas, of the 600 white democrats who murdered negroes, not one suffered the ex- treme penalty of the law. He would ask the Sen- ator from Tennessee (Cooper) if he knew of any in his State, Mr. CooreR—Yes, several. Mr. CLAYTON said he would Inquire of the Sena- tor from Georgia (Mr. Norwood) if he knew ol any in his State? Mr. Norwoop said the Senator from Arkansas seemed to be On a general tour of investigation. He (Mr. Clayton) had better inform himseif before he attempted to iniorm the Senate and address the country. Mr. CLAYTON then inquired of the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Stevenson) 11 he knew of an ine stance where a white man was punished for the murder of a negro? Mr, STEVENSON, (dem.) of Ky., said Kentucky had time and again punished them while he was Governor, He had irequently refused to interfere UPLE SHEET, with the punishment of white men for the murder ol pegroes, He would scorn, either as Governor Or as Citizen, to excuse ctime on account of poli- tics. When the Senator (Mr. Clayton) desired to compare notes between Kentucky and Arkansas in honor, in the purtshment of crime, ia the purity of he administration ol tie government he (Mr, Stevenson) was lege Mr. CLAYTON gaid the editor of the Courier-Jour- nal saia the law was not enforced, He would ask vhe Senator irom North Carolina (Mr, Merrimon) if ne knew of an instance in his State where a white man was puvished for tne murder of & negro? iT, MERRIMON, (dem.) of N. C., re] in the affirmative, and said that one white wen waa exe- cuted in Wilmington six mont«s ago; two white men in another county were found guilty of killing & begro and sentencad to death, but a republican Governor commuted their sentence, and they were now in the Penitentiary. Mr, Coover, (dem,) of Teyn., asked the Senator to yield the floor that he mignt read a despatcn of Governor Brown to the President, * Mr. CLAYTON declined to have tt read, but said the Senator might state the substance thereof. Mr. COOPER proceeded to read the despatch of Governor Brown to the President in regard to the troubies In the Western district of that State last summer, Mr. CLAYTON said he would not yield to nave it read. Mr. Coorer claimed the Moor, the Senator hav- ing yicided to him, The CHat, Mr. INGERSOLL, (rep.) of Kan., de- cided the Senator from Arkansas was entitied to the floor, pe orf Coorer appealed from the decision of the air, Mr. CONKLING moved to lay the appeal on the table. Agreed to. Mr. CLAYTON, resuming, said in Southern States where the democrats had control there was no Peace. The slave power tn this country was not dead. It still ved, and aspired to wield the rod of empire over this country. That slave power had control of ail tne Southern States except Louisiana, Mississippi and South Curolina, and was grasping for those States, that it might have the South undivided, Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, then obtained the floor to speak on the resolution. He said, as the Senator trom Maine (Mr. Morrill) had given no- tice that ne would call up the Legislative, Exccu- tive and Judictal Appropriation bili on Monday, he would yield to the -enator now for a motion to lay aside the pending resolution and call up the Appropriation bili referred to, with the under- standing that he (Mr. Sherman) retained the floor on the Louisiana resolation next week, alter the pay ie EES bill be disposed or, Mr. STEVENSON, (dem.) of Ky., hoped the Louist- ir the disposal of the Appropriation bill. Messrs. Pease, (rep.) of Miss.; Ransom, (dem.) of N. 0.: Merrimon, (dem.) of N.C.. and Steven- son, (dem.) of Ky., announced ibey desired to speak upon the resolutions, * Mr. MORTON (rep.) gave notive that he would call up the constitutional amendments in relation to the electton of President and Vice President, reported by the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions last session, as soon as the Legislative Ap- Propriation bull be disposed o% Mr. MOKRILL, (rep.) Of Me., sald unless there be the greatest economy in regard to time, 1t would be found tnat the business would be in a terrible coudition in the last days of the session. He thought this Loutsiana debate had already occu- ied too much of the session, and he wvuuld not hesitate to oppose it with any of the apprépria- tion bills, After further discussion, it was decided to go on With the Louisiana discussion to-day. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep) of Ohio, copied to the charges against the President of the United States and General Sheridan by tne Senator from Dela- ware (Mr. Bayard) and said he was surprised to hear them trom one usually 80 calm as that Sena- tor, The Senator irom Missouri (Mr. Schurz) nad also joined in that arraignment. That Senator had made his whole argument from a false state- Ment of facts. He meant no disrespect to the Senator (Mr. Schurz), but as soon as he heard his statement of factahe knew that his argument, based on such @ statement, was wholly unre- lable and deserving of no consideration whatever, The arraignment of these officers was not only here, but went all over the country. The most remarkable statement was from the Governor of his own State (Governor Alien), made on the 8th ot January in Columbus. Mr. sherman next re- lerrea tu the mectiug held at the Couper Institnte, @nd said he beiieved the day would come when some Of the gentiemen who participated in that meeting woula regret it. Neitver President Grant nor the republican party were responsibie tor what took place in New Orleans on the 4th of Jan- uary. ‘I'he whoic gist o1 the matter was that an olticer of the army expelled from ihe Legislature five men who had no right to be there, Theoficer had simply gone there to prevent an illegal organ- ization, The law of the State was not obeyed in the organization ol the Legislature. Mr. THURMAN denied that an officer of the army had any right to interiere, even if there was ad ulegal organization, but contended that the or- ganization was a legai one, and that the fve men ‘who were put out lad as much right to seats in that Legislature as nis colleague or himself had a Tight to seats in this body. Mr. SHERMAN, Tesuming, said that Wiltz was notelected Speaker by a majority of the mem- bers, There was one principle in this goverp- ment which allagreed Upon, and that was, the majority must rule. Be:ore concluding Mr. Sherman yielded to Mr. Bayard jor a motion to adjourn, which was agreed to—yeus 17, nays 16—and at five minutes past tive P.M. the Senate aajourned till tweive o’clock M, on Monday. CINCINNATI PROTESTS. ana deviate would be resumed at CINCINNATI, Obto, Jan, 16, 1875, A large mecting of citizens was held to-night at Pike’s Opera House to protest aguinst the recent action of the miitary authori- ues 1a Louisiana in connection with tne organization of the Legislature of that State. Letters were read from Governor Allen, Hon. W. S. Groesbeck and Judge Hoadley, expressive of sympathy with the objects of the meeting, and from Hon. Job E. Stevenson, who expressed a willingness to take part ina Meeting to express the public sentiment, but ob- Jected to a meeting to protest against the military action. The assemblage was addressed by Mayor Jonn- son, Hon. George H, Pendleton, D. T. Wright, 0. J. Dodds and Hun, W. L.
