_ ODB NEW STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Legislature and thie Board of
Be turning officers have, daring the
past week, declared the following
gentlemen elected : ■
Governor, Wm. Pitt Kellogg.
Lient. Governor, C. C. Antoine,
j Attorney General, A. P. Fields.
Auditor, C. W. Clinton.
Superintendent Public Education,
Wm. G. Brown.
The three last named officers
have been inducted into office and
mo y be found at their posts.
Callers in the Governor's
office since Monday last, through
day and night have not once found
acting Governor Pinchback absent
from his post or idle. Unremit
tingly and arduously has he been
laboring to secure beyond all per
adventure the legitimate fruits of
the victory just gained over fraud,
intimidation, and corruption. Ably
and constantly surrounded with
true patriots, statesmen and coun
sellors of established ability every
step of the new Executive, while it
has tended towards recovering
jeopardized popular rights, has also
evidenced the strong conservative
tendencies, the disposition, charac
teristic of the man, tp be in advance
in inaugurating the so much clam
ored for, and so much needed re
trenchment and reform in the pri
ons departments . of government.
And yet amid all this toil,, anxiety,
physical and mental tension, acting
Governor Pinchback not only ex
hibits the same alert, always appre
hending disposition, but looks as
" fresh as a rose " all the time.
GOVERNOR PINCHBACK.
In offering special comment on,
the importance of the position oc
cupied on Monday last, by Gov
ernor Pinchback, in. the organiz
ation of the Senate, at t(iat parti
cular moment, and upon the un
flinching and incorrupttblè way in
which he so safely and triumph
antly passed the crisis, taking with
him the entire Republican party and
government of Louisiana; this
paper might be accused of that one
sided view of matters that too often
characterizes journals sustaining a
relationship like ours, we therefore,
prefer to have an admitted impar
tial judge to speak on this occasion,
The New Orleans Republican says :
" While presiding over the Senate
yesterday, in the work of organiza
tion, Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back displayed the splendid qualities
of courage integrity and abilityin a
very marked degree. For a few
hours he actually held the destinies
of this State in his grasp, and the
resuit proved that they could not
have been, committed to, a better or
firmer hand. Imbued with the true
spirit of patriotism, and conscious of
the momentous interests entrusted
to him, he rose superior to the
seductions of temptation, the threats
and taunts of disappointed schemers
and the subleties of private plead-?
ing. With the law for his guide,,
and his duty before him,. he carried
the whole Senate with him to a
triumphant reorganization. The
scene was one not soon to be for
gotten by the beholders. It was
one in which was (strikingly illus
trated the irresistible power of one'
superior mind, armed with honesty
of purpose, over the many who,
however able at ordinary ^ times,
become paralyzed attempting to
bold Hp wrong, "Thrice is hé
armed waft has his quarrel just.'
The subsequent speech of the Lieu
tenant Governor was pronounced
by tfeôM who heard it to be one of
the be« efforts of the kind ever
heard in the Senate;. /
That be is elected temporarily to
high. station goes > for naught.
Governor Pinchback deserves, and
will receive, the gratitude of all
claSses öf our citizens whose, good
will is worflrhating.
Should it become necessaryto
make any changes, in office during
his incumbpncy of tHe Governor
ship, we are assured he will use the
utmost judgment and discretion in
selecting appointees. t
GOVERNOR WAEÄÖTfl'S LEGISLATURE
This "grand, gloomy and pecu
liar " institution, that makes up its
quorum by borrowing names from
the State Legislature, says it is
holding sessions in the Lyceum
Hall, under the sanctions of
impeached, and suspended Execu
tive, and the protection of "this
people;" the expenses to be paid
out of $75,000 that no banker will
have so little sense to lend, or
enough right or power to recover if
lent Since Monday they have
been meeting daily, each day ob
truding more and more upon the
public notice. At first it was but
in caucus; the caucus magnified it
self to a Legislature, but met jointly
and in secret session. Then they
met in open session, but still jointly.
Then they improvised one of those
well remembered things so much
î
needed and sought after last Janu
ary—a " quorum " of their houses,
elected the inevitable prodigal, our
quondam Republican General Camp
bell, President of their Senate, and
Mr. Moncure, the very mild man
nered Liberal (?) frcto Caddo, for
,ker. This Governor Warmoth
recognizes as the Legislaturè and
they go through the farcical-com
ical proceeding of negotiating a
loan, issuing proclamations and
"paying the devil" generally when
there is " no pitch hot."
Considerable commotion among
all those, and the friends of those,
who expected to get " in " on the
overthrow of Republicanism by the
high handed and unbearable usur
pations of the defunat administra
tion, exists as a matter of course,
but little attention is paid to "this
sort of thing you know," by busi
ness men, and the respectable and
substantial people of New Orleans.
They can't be associated or identi
fied with any such vile scheme as
purchasing the overthrow of a Gov
ernment, by the wilful corruption
of an official, and have that fact and
their connexion known to the
world. The lookers on at these
daily performances are also getting
small by degrees and beautifully
less," and unless a coup (Telat of
some sort of magnitude vivifies the
concern there is imminent danger
that even the " quorum " will soon
be broken once and for all by the
return to the Legislature of mem
bers, whose seats will be declared
vacant if they persist in being
members of " two Legislatures " at
the same time. That the affair is
dwindling to diminuendo propor
tions is apparent. The election
returns have ousted their Attorney
General, who hied to Washington
in something less than " sixty-five
miles an hour;" abolished Judge
Elmore, who would enjoin a Gov
ernor, and an elected Auditor, and
who affects to spurn the supreme
authority of a State Legislature in
session; and circumscribes all their
operations, within very narrow
limits. And no wonder they are
not happy." The weather since
Tuesday has been "chilly and cold."
We had a shower of hail on that
day, and the Republican party are
driven to the necessity of warming
up things to the tune of« "Hail
Columbia."
"LET IT BE UNDERSTOOD."

FISHING FOR TROUT AND CATCHING.
AN EEL. ' U;
The events Of the week have been
crowding.. 4 so closely upon each
other's heels, have been so startling
and important in their character
and „bearings, and for every
moment that tney rush, so essen
tially absorbing, that scarcely any
period of rèspite is granted for re
trospect. But there is one over
powering reflection that forces itself
on the mind, and that is, that the
assembling of the Legislature, in
obedience to the call of the . Gov
ernor, has been signalled at the
threshold by the performance of an
act swiftly and terribly antipodal of
the Governor's intention. Charged
by courts of competent jurisdiction
to obstain from upholding and con
tinuing the perpetration of wrongs
which the United States Govern
ment stand pledged and ready to
redrpss, besought to remember that
there was a length beyond which
all his combined forces and his in
fluences could not go. Reminded of
the obligations and duties he
assumed when placed in the Execu
tive chair of this State, Governor
Warmoth was heedless and rcckless.
Maddened by opposition, phrenzied
at the encounter of every obstacle
between him and "any thing to
beat Grant" and defeat Republi
canism, he over-rod9 even every
legal impediment to the accomplish
ment of theso purposes. Unhap
pily for him he encountered the
united wills and voices of seventy
thousand independent sovereign
voters of the State of Louisiana
guaranteed protection in the exer
cise of their choice by the sanctions
of the National Government. This
Quixotic advonture ha3 resulted,
all such battles must result, in the
overwhelming discomfiture of the
Don who fight windmills. The call
of the Legislature in extra session
has resulted in direful disaster to
the caller. Instead of endorsing
and supporting all that had been
done by the registrars, commis
sioners, returning boards and every
other kind of manipulators of the
recent elections, almost the first act,
was the all but unanimous impeach
ment of the Governor himself and
his suspension from office, com
pletely turning up-side-down every
calculation, proving once more how
the " schemes of mice and men
gang aft a glee, 1 ' and verifying the
fable of the piscator who went fish
ing for trout and caught an eel, and
in the height of his embarrassment
and vexation exclaiming "this
not the fish I wanted." There is
moral in this that young men may
learn from.
and
It
JSSTlntoxicated with rage,
bitterly envenomed at the
whelming defeat which Judge
Durell's "upright" judgment has
inflicted on a whole band of con
spirators, the New Orleans limes
villifies that official in a most un
seemly and blackguard manner,
openly charges that distinguished
patriot and learned Jurist with
being drunk when ho issued the
order to protect the citizens of
Louisiana from the premeditated
outragés which were to crown the
pile-of wrongs. If Judge Durell
was drunk when he carried out
Congressional legislation, then were
Congress drunk when it enacted the
lrtws, and the people of the country
drunk when they adopted the fif
teenth amendment, and the whole
world of humanity, and progress
and civilization drunk when they
demanded it, and the Providence of
God 'drunk when it aided the ac
complishment of these things; and
the New Orleans limes the
only sober thing in the Universe.

GOVERNOR PIKCHBACS'S MESSAGE.
In the midst 6f all the turmoil
and distraction of the period and
the place, acting Governor Pinch'
back has found time to send a
special message to the Legislature,
full of significance and breathing
"reform" in every line. Now is the
time and if " this people " is really
desirous to inaugurate an era of
peace and harmony and good will,
and withal have an honest and
economical administration, let them
co-operate with the Legislature in
carrying out the effective measures
recommended .in the following
message:
State of Louisiana 1
Executive Department, V
New Orleans, December, 11, 1872. )
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Représentatives of the State of
Louisiana, in General Assembly
convened:
Gentlemen —Your present session,
palled by the Governor under the act
of 1970, No. 41, is, by tlffe proclama
tion convening you, limited to the
period of ten days, but under the pro
visions of the same law can be contin
ued, not exceeding sixty days, but a
joint resolution passed by both Houses
of the General Assembly, approved by
the executive..
If you skoold deem that such exten
sion of your session is demanded by
the publie interesta, I will co-operrte
with you therein. In the meanwhile,
contemplating such a contingency, I
deem it my duty to call your attention
to such subjects of Legislation as may
more immediately ciaim your consid
eration
Stato legislation, since the close of
tlio war, lias been surrounded with no
ordinary embarrassments, and the
result in Louisiana, whether was corn
template the laws enacted or the exe
cution thereof has not been entirely
satisfactory to our people. The sta
tutes passad, both political and finan
cial, whether considered in the pro
visions or their administration, have
been deemed by some oppressive, and
thou- revision, therefore, is an impera
tive duty devolved upon you as the
legislature of the State. The political
social and industrial condition of the
State was so unsettled by the laie civil
strife at to mate the duties of the
General Assembly exceedingly delicate
and difficult, but conceding pure mo
tives and integrity to your predecessors
it is probably neither uncharitable nor
unjust, to assume that they have failed
largely in realizing the reasonable
expectations of sho citizens, because
they liavo not sufficiently studied the
condition and wants of the State, as a
condition precedent, to the enactment
of laws for the government of the same.
Inconsideratcneas and haste have heré
tofore constituted the vite of our State
legislation.
I respectfully suggest that you,
appreciating your obligations to the
people whom you represent not as
partisans, but as citizens, address
yourselves to the work olf correcting
any defects that may, by experience,
he found to have attached to the legis
lation of our predecessors, whether
the same may be in the laws regulating
the political rights of citizens, such às
registration and election acts, or
the financial interest of the same, such
as the statutes affecting the expense of
government, collection of taxas and
public securities; and would earnestly
recommend your honorable bodies to
enact such registration and election
laws as will secure to each citizenj
upon the basis of exact and equal jus.'
tice, the possession and exercise öf thé
right of suffrage, so that it shall, not
be in the power of any officer or offi
cers,. charged with the execution of
the laws, to reproduce the astounding
and anomalous condition and compli
cations that were pxhibited in the late.
State elëction.
The rights of the suffragans, without
respect to race or condition in life,
equally and perfectly secured, so that
the vote of each citizen shall tell iuthe
election with the purposes for which it
was cast by the voter, we will luve laid
the foundation, broad ami deep, for
public order in the State, and good
will among its people.
The best interests Of the people of
Louisiana demand that we shall nd
longer live in the semi-revolutionary
condition that has characterized us for
the last several years, but there,.must
be, by attention to the matters herein
suggested, established such stability in
the government of the State as will
produce the popular conviction that
the political rights of, the citizens do
not depend'Upon perpetual coups (Velut
or exceptional législation for the' secu
rity. The public quiet thus secured
by a satisfactory adjustment of thé
political questions that now disturb the
quiet of the State, I would respectfully
that you further thé public
Content and prc^perity, by initiating
and perfecting, such legislation, as will*
reduce taxation by providing not only
for the réduction of expenses of the
but tbe more economical
so
of
In
you
;
-
ber
ing
such
collection and faithful expenditure of
the public revenues. .
Reformatory legislation is not only
needed but practicable in the direction
suggested, and I urge such specific
attention to the subject and its gravity
demands. In harmony with the gen
eral suggestions herein contained, and
without anticipating or forestalling
the more elaborate recommendations
that the Governor-elect will make to
you when you shàll meet in regular
session iu January next, I . deem it
appropriate to call your attention to
several particular subjects of legisla
tioc.
the public debt OF the state.
By provision of the constitution, the
maximum public debt of a period
of years is limited tp the sum of $25,
000,000. ' The impression has obtained
that a large amount of the Stato secu
rities outstanding, are invalid because
either created in violation of the con
stitutional restriction referred to, or
without warrant of law. Under the
vague and inconsiderate legislation
that has heretofore existed, said
securities have the formal qualities of
valid indebtedness. So prevalent in
this opinion, that «many of our most
substantial citizens are indisposed to
pay their taxas, lest the^same should
go to satisfy these illegal public claims.
The circumstances considered, justice
to tho taxpayers, no less than thim to
the credit of the State, requires your
not only to ascertain the amount of the
public debt, but the class of securities
that make up the same, that yon may
enact such laws in the premises as are
necessary to protect both the citizens
and the State. .
the tnrSTINO law.
Tho law now in force, though an
improvement on the one superseded
by it, is very defective. Whatever
reasons may have existed to justify its
original enactment, its continuance on
tho statute b(M>ks can no longer be
vindicated, It is objectionable, not
only because liable to be used for par
tisan purposes, but also for its costli
ness. It should be so amended as to
simplify it, restrict it to the needs of
the State, and to remit the subject
matter of printing to the more imme
diate control of tho commnities and
parties interested therein and charged
with the expense of the same,
1TIVATB CCKPOBATIOXS.
Probably more than any other State
in the Union,. Louisiana has granted
special and valnaule franchises, and
has attempted, through corporations,
to do what in other States has been
left to private enterprise. Many of
these associations have succeeded and
becomo a benefaction to the State, but
others, even with proffered State aid,
have failed to comply with the condi
tions embodied in their charters and
are an embarrassment and hindrance
to the industrial growth of the State.
You should institute a rigid, imposition
in this matter ta ascertain wherein
thoy have failed to comply with the
laws creating them. Not only for the
purpose of enacting such legistation as
will compel them to meet their char
tered obligations, but also for the
further purpose of placing tho proper
law officer is possession of such infor
mation as will enable him, in caso of
default on their part, to force them
into liquidation.
In conclusion, permit me to say,
gentlemen, that you stand amid sur
roundings significant .and instructive.
We have just emerged from a most
exciting political contest. The; ver
dict of 'the people has been pronounced
for nationality and individual liberty.
Whatever of individual bitterness or
disappointment may have entered into
thé late national and. State election,
the people have ? . with great unanimity,
declared in'favor ot thë healthy, liberal
and progresrive ideas advocated by the
Republican party; and as in the past,
so in the future, this party of progress,
bearing the charities and the equities
of the nation to all her people, North
and South, white and colored, holds
the reins of power, and will administer
the government so as to secure, the
greatest good to .the greatest number.
In thé presence of such daty, and with
such generous purpose ahead. ~ I beg
you, gentlemen, untrammeled by dead
issues or living prejudices, to address
yourselves to the honorable and rn
sponsible work before you, wishing
you à happy issue to your labors.
P. B. S. PINCHBACK,
