A letter ‘yom Governor Leslie was read, in which, after denouncing the interference vy the military, he says:—*One of the most alarming Jacts in the history of these usurpations is that tne Chief Executive, in his recent Message, justi+ fles them, however unconstitutional, on the ground of expediency, and does not hesitate to avow his conviction thatifit could be done the outlawry of most respectable citizens of Louisiana. and their subjection to the tender mercies, nut of a Jefirey out of au American layman, wouid be the best solation ol the probiem in the State.” Alter the readlog o1 the letter ana the speeches it was Resolved, That the military interierence with the rights oi the State Legisiature, under the authority oi the jederat Executive, was not only unwarranted by the constitution, but was effected in utter disregard of the acts of Congress wiseiy | intended to define and limit bis powers and pro- | tect the constitutional rignts of the people; that | RHODE ISLAND SENATORSHIP. THE CONTEST RESUMED—THE COMPLEXION UN- CHANGED—BURNSIDE STILL AHEAD—A COM- PROMISE CANDIDATE WANTED, PROVIDENCE, Jan, 18, 1875, The General Assembly convenes in this city to- morrow, when the balloting !o@ United States Senator to succeed the Hon. William Sprague, ‘Whose term expires in March, will be resumed, At the closing of the last session the situation lett the candidates in the same relative positions, with General Burnside in the lead by a goodly num- ber of votes, lacking only eleven of a majority. His competitor, Nathan F, Dixon, of Westerly, who is @ member of the lower body of the Legisiatare, developed a respectable show of strength, securing twenty-wignt votes, within fifteen of Burnside’s number. Dixon 1s the favored one of. the Journal or Anthony party, whtle Burnside has secured the support of the Sprague party to a great degree, besides that of tne Goddard faction cf the Brown and Ives family, which is thus divided on the Senatorial question. While the two great political lacuons were thus represented theie was another element in the contest which deyeloped no small share of strength—suficient, certainly, if thrown on one side, to result in an eiection, ‘This balancing power, which throughout the session remained aloof from the leading parties and remained firm in its adhesion to its representative candidate, comprised the temperance or prohibitory party m_ the Legisiature, and its Vote Was cast for Mr. Amos C.

HARRISBURG, Jan, 18, 1875. The leading State politicians of both parties are now here in full force and the battle over the qnestion-of the United States Senatorship is as ex- citing as it is complex, To-morrow the members of both houses will assemble by themselves and each will elect their man, while on Wednesday both houses will assemble in joint convention when the final result will be made. known. It is by no means safe to predict that Mr. Wallace will surely win tbe fight, for the desperate measures brought to bear against him, in consideration of bis exceedingly small majority on joint ballot, may prove themselves sutiicient to effect his overthrow.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMO- CRATIC CONFERENCES—TROUBLE ABOUT THE CANDIDATURE OF DAWES AND HOAR—CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS PROBABLY THE CHOICE FOR SENATOR, Boston, Jan. 18, 1875, There have been two very important matters determined in Boston to-day, The first is that the Tepublican party, so faras Massachusetts is con- cerned, is substantially among the things of the Past, and the second is that the Sepatorial mantle of the late Sumner 1s to fal! upon no less & statesman than Charles Francis Adams, These are truths which will almost unquestion- ably be verified in the course of two or three days, The meeting this evening of the republican mem- bers of the Legislature for @ conierence on the Senatorial question, in view of the election which 1s to gake place to-morrow was one of the most significant evenss of the period, indicative of the decline of the party In Massachusetts. On the other hand, the conference of the democrats for the same purpose was characterized by a modera- tion and statesmanship which was almost tnevi- table, and the threatened consequences are that they have not only captured the Senatorship, but have inaugurated the preliminaries for giving the State to the democracy in 1876, and indefinitely thereafter. The call for the meeting of the republicans was signed by both the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, and also by several members of the Republican State Central Committee, There were probably about 150 present, and the matter to be determined was whether the party should wait upon Mr. Dawes or on Mr. Hoar as their candidate ior the national Senate. DAWES AND HOAR. The adherents of both candidates were frm and unyieldiog, and one side could see nothing in the candidate on the other side to persuade them to desert their favorite. After the meeting nad been called to order Coi- onel King, one of the Boston republicans, broke the ice with a long and eloquent speech, in which he frequently declared that he was for nobody tn par- ticular, but he hoped that, as repubiicans, they would see the wisdom of nominating the best man, and aman whom they could triumpnantly elect He wenton in this way for a considerable time, but when he closed he proposed the name of Henry L. Dawes and toliowed up the proposa, with a motion that the meeting proceed to the nomination of a candidate. This sudden sugges- tion and meaning motion aroused the inaignu- ton of the supporters of Mr. Hoar. and tneir qeaiets Mr. Rice, of Worcester, was early upon the joor, He said that when he signed the call tor this meeting he understood it was simply a party conference and not a caucus, and he wished it ‘understood that he should not feel bound to abide any action which might be taken. I a very forcibie and excited manner he held that the meeting could not go back of the cail, and neither oe nor his friends were going to bave the party whip cracked over their backs by Colonel King or anybody else. When Mr. Rice had finished the supporters of Mr. Dawes again ‘urged a baliot as tne best means to conter and us- | certain the sentiment of the republican members, All these efforts, however, were destined to de- Jeat in one way or another, TACTICS OF THE HOAR MEN. The Hoar men were clever aud shrewd, and every motion that was brought turward by thelr oppo- nents, 11 defeated by vote, was talked to death or Smothered with amendments, It was in vain that the Dawes men sought to get a vote on any ques- tion which would show the preferences of the ma- jority of the members assembied. The nearest approach to the labors in this direction was on the tabling of an insignificant iwoticn, whicn’seémed to indicate that flity-lour of the Members would vote for Mr. Dawes, and forty- nine of them for Mr. Hoar. ‘This was the only rest vote of any description, which was opbratned during @ session of three hours, Most of the time was spent in eulogies of party and party men and condemnations of toe same, and during tne discussions some pretty p'ain truths were uttered ali around, The Cause Of the disastrous deleat of the party Jast tall was ooeraed alternately on one and then on the other. Nearly everybody seemed to unite on the general idea that the party was going tu destruc- tion.

AFRAID OF BEN BUTLER. The climax of all this discussion was reached when Mr. Palmer, one oi the Boston members, got up, and declared that they were all airaid of Ben Butler's ghost.

Tne Hoar men were still determined on not having any pretimi- nary ballot in theirs, and the consequences were that toe meeting broke up in the most unpleasant contusion. ADJOURNED TO PARKER'S. From the State House the members wended their way down the hill to Purker’s, where there was in waiting a@ large crowd of politicians, anxioas to hear the result. The scenes here were also Ot that indescribably confused order whichis kindred to a warm political contest, and che mem- bers on hoth sides were cursed and praised indiscriminately by their friends and constituents, The flowing bow! was irecly in auiged ta by even the radical prombitionists, but it 18 safe to assume that the liberal potations were not productive o1 anv feelings particulariy jubi- lant over 1he-events of the evening. THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE. At the democratic cunlerence the scene was far different trom the one just described, Over sixty democrats were assembled und the proceedings all throngh were characterized by the uimost harmony and dignity. Tne caucus having been properly organized, there followed several inior- mal ballots. The fir-t resujted in twenty-two Votes tor Charles Francis Adams, sixteen for Judge Abbott, four tor Joun Quincy Adams and a jew scattering. On the second miormal bvaliot Judge Abbott had thirty-one, to twenty- eight for Charles Francis Adams, and ite a number of scattering foilowiug. This second iniormal ballot caused quite alenginy discussion, in which some of the Boston demo- crats opposed Mr. Adams, on the grouna that he ‘vas not @ thoroughbred democrat. The sen- timent generally expressed, however, was that Mr. Adams is thoroughly democratic tn principies: and practices und that in this emergency the democratic party of the State ought to raise itself above mere party prejudices and place itself ona higher plane and thus deserve tne favor whica the of Massachusetts have already be- to show it. Furthermore, the feel- ing seemed to be that they had the op- portunity now to nominate the best statesman in the State and they should not let the opportu- nity pass, The fear Was expressed, however, that @ genuine democratic nomination would be re- Jected by Mr, Adams, and in such an event tt would be bad Jor both bim aud the uemocratic party. In view of this contingency it was deemed the wisest course to muke a straight party nomination for the present, and the name of Judge Abbott was, therefore, uaopted, The sequel of this, however, is that’ when the caucus adjourned ib adjourned to meet again to-morrow even- ing, im case there is no choice to-mor- row (and it iS certain there will ve none), certain that there will be suMcient disatrected republicans to Wheel into ihe Adams phalanx to secure his election. Everything this eveumg cer. tainly indicates the election of Mr. Adams on Weduesday by the combination described, MORE EXPOSURE THREATENED, In the possible ubsence of such an event the contest between Judge Howr and Mr. Dawes will be prolonged almost indefinitely. The democrats are, of course, highly elated at the situation, and the Hoar men are nervousiy pleased at tne rout of Dawes, while tie followers of the latter are tefribly dejected. ‘Tne revival of the Credit Mobiliér irauds in connection with the name of Mr. Dawes has been the cause of his unpopularity more than anything else, and to- morrow there ts 10 be a further panorama of his public career in the shape Of a pamphlet prepared y Francis W.
