Both bouses of the Ohio Legislature have adopted resolutions condemning the interference of Federal troops in Louisiana affairs. Late dispatches from New Zealand report that the Santa Cruz natives had recently burned the British cutter Lapwing and massacred the crew. The cashier of the National Bank at Carbondale, Pa., was gagged at noon on the 14th by two strangers and robbed of |IO,OOO in United States currency. Dispatches Aram Helena, Mont., of the 14th say that the weather was so cold on the night of the 13th that mercury froze solid and that whisky had to be distributed with a hatchet. Four Chinamen were found frozen to death half a mile from the town. They had left the place about four o’clock on the afternoon of the 12th. The British steamer Alice, plying between Cardiff and Constantinople, is reported foundered at sea. Twenty persons are reported drowned. Louis A. Wiltz, claiming to be Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, has telegraphed to the President asking him to restore the statu quo existing at the time Gen. de Trobriand ejected certain members. Charles A. Stevens has been elected to Congress from the Tenth Massachusetts District, as the successor of the late Alvah Crocker.

Lewis Jarvis and Elbert Jackson were hanged at North Hempstead, N. Y., on the 15th, for the murder of Samuel Jones in June, 1878. Jackson confessed the killing. The hanging of Jarvis was bunglingly performed, ard the Sherifi’s assistants seized the rope, hauled him up by hand and held him there until he strangled to death. tin the 15th, at Norwich, Conn., a national salute was fired in honor of the President because of his action on the Louisiana question. At the annual meeting of the Union League Club of New York, held on the 14th, his course was also approved. An indignation meeting was held in Albany on the evening of the 14th to express disapproval of the President’s course in the same affair, and a similar meeting in Baltimore on the night of the 15th. At the latter meeting Reverdy Johnson was the chief speaker. The Virginia Legislature has adopted resolutions protesting against the recent conduct of Federal troops in Louisiana as a gross usurpation of power. A Berlin dispatch of the 16th says Germany is about to send a fleet of fifty guns to the northern coast of Spain. The first and second Kings of Siam — father and son—have quarreled. The packages carried in the mails, it has been ascertained, form less than 2 per cent, of the weight of the whole mail-matter, and less than one-half of 1 per cent of the number of pieces.

The astronomers at Greenwich Observatory have published the result of their first computations from the data obtained through observations of the recent transit of Venus. Remarking upon these results an American astronomer, in the New York World of the 17th, states the sun’s distance from the earth to be 88,443,726 mi1e5—6,926,274 miles less than the distance as computed by Encke from -observations of the last transit. He says at this rate of progress the earth will fall into the sun in about 1,440 years. But as the earth’s motion will be greatly accelerated through the increased influence of the sun’s attraction as the two bodies approach each other, the catastrophe may, and in fact must, inevitably occur much sooner, unless the sun’s force should be proportionately decreased or its volume reduced. Meetings to protest against the late alleged interference of the military in the organization of the Louisiana Legislature, have lately been held in fit. Louis, Boston, Cincinnati and elsewhere. The report of the Congressional Subcommittee was received with satisfaction by the Democrats of New Orleans. The Republicans of that city say it abounds in misstatements. The Republican members of the Ohio Legislature have caused a protest to be entered on the journal of the House against the recent passage of the Louisiana resolutions by that body. A little daughter of J. B. Morgan, of Urbana, Ohio, was recently outraged by a man named G. W. Ullery, who was subsequently captured and locked up in the county jail. Early on the morning of the 17th a party of forty masked persons went to the jail, captured and bound him, gave him a few minutes to pray, and hung him to a tree jn front of the Court-House. The Spanish squadron has arrived at Zaranz to enforce the demand of Germany for indemnity for the outrage upon the brig Gustav. The Prussian authorities have closed the Catholic seminary at Fulda, expa-

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.

Be Responds to the Aesolritlon for UCht <mu Loulstaiaa Afifalr*. The President, in answer to the Senate resoleresponded In a special message on the 13th, an abstract pf which is jrere Ujven: To say thatjawleseness, turbulence and bloodshed hive characterized the political affairs of Louisiana since its'organjzatlon undefthe Reconstrnction acta, .the President says, iKonly to repeat what has become well known as .a part of its unhappy history. He briefly reviews the leading and undisguised consriracy to carry the election of 1872 against the Republicans; the glaring in Ms. Kellogg’s favor. and his subsequent assumption of the office es Governor. The President says that the courts of the United States have the right to interfere with State elections, so as to maintain political equality and rights J&teseiq, irreHP«Ctim .<4* r race er color, is a hew, and to some It seeins a startling idea, but it results as clearly from Fifteenth amendment and the.acte townforce that amendment as tbe abrogation of ffitoijliws upholding slavery results from the Thirteenth amendment. The jurisdiction of the court being Ar. Kellogg as Governor. It was Apt certain that he was elected, and it was equally uncertafo that McEnery was elected. Kellogg obtained possession of the office and in his opinion had more

made by the Seifate ewnmlttee- aen - Privileges and Elections to the effect that to recognize the McEnery Government would be recognizing a government based on fraud, in defiance of the wishes and intentions of the voters of the State—a report which seems to have been generally accepted by the, country at the time it was made—the great crime in Louisiana fa that one is holding the office ofGovernor wtrowith cheated but of 20,090 votes, against another, whose, title to the office is based on fraud and in defiance of the wishes and intentions of the voters of the State. The President then referred to the butchery of citizens at Colfax, which be characterized as an affair which, jn bloodthirstiness and barbarity, ted. To hold the people of Louisiana responsible for these atrocities would be unjust, but it is a lamentable fact that insuperable obstructions ishing these murderers, and the so-called

“ Conservative” papers not only justified the massacre, but denounced as “Federal tyranny and despotism” the attempt of United States officers to bring them to justice. No way could* be found in this boasted land of civilization and Christianity to punish the perpetrators of this bloody and' monstrous crime. Not unlike in its leading features was the Coushatta massacre. No one has been punished, and the “ Conservative” press denounced all efforts to that end and boldly justified the crime. The President relates additional outrages, to which more or less prominence has been given in the public press. In consequence of representations made to him that the presence of troops in Louisiana was unnecessary, and that there would be no disturbance if they.were removed, he had withdrawn all troops OOm'the State early last summer with the exception of a small garrison at New Orleans. On the 14th of D. B. Penn, who claimed 'that he had been elected Lieutenant Governor in 1872, issued an inflammatory proclamation, calling upon the militia of the State to arm, assemble and driveoutthe “usurpers,” as he designated the officers of Ihe State. The White Leaguers, armed and ready for the conflict, promptly responded. On the name day the Governor made a formal requisition upon him in pursuance ,qf the act of 1795, and Sec. 4 his proclamation, commanding the insurgents to disperse within five.day® from the date thereof, but before, the prooiajxuition was published in New Orleans, the organized and armed forces reprganiyiag, a government had taken forcible possession of flie State-House and temporarily subverted the Government. Twenty or more people were killed, including a number of the police of the City. -» -. k

The President insists that there was great intimidation exercised at the recent election, and instances the agreement of the merchants of Shreveport as demonstrating the fact. He also refers at considerable length td the efforts made lo eonttol the election and so manfpntate tho-voteafi to assure the ascendency of their friends and the defeat of the Republicans. By Sec. 8 of the act of Feb. 28, 1871, it is made the duty of the United States Marshals and their deputies at the polls where votes are cast for Representatives in Congress to keep the peace and prevent any violations of the so-called Enforcement act and other offenses against the laws of the United States, and upon a requisition of the Marshal of Louisiana, ana in view of said armed organization and other portentous circumhe caused detachments of troops to be stationed in various localities in the State to aid him in the performance of his official duties. In regard to the alleged Interference of the military with the organization of the Legislature of Louisiana on the 4th. he had no information tlons, were ever given to any military officer in thacSta'e upon the subject prior so the occurrence. He was well aware that any military interference by the officers or troops of the United States with the organization of a State Legislature or any of its proceedings, or with any civil department of the Government, is repugnant to onrTdeas of government. He could conceive of no case not involving rebellion or insurrection where such interference bv the authorstances connected with the late legislamatter, knowing that they had been placed in Louisiana to prevent domestic violence, and to aid in repressing it. The revolution was apparently, thought is believed not really, abandoned, and the ctflr of “ Federal iumrpat:oa”aiid “ tyranenergy. Troops ted teen sent t<rth«HState under the requisition of the Governor, and as other sssßssajraßi such aid as might become necessary to enforce the lews of the State and repress the continued violence which seemed inevitable at the moment when the Federal Support should bo witndrawn. He had no information Of the proceedings Of the Returning Board for the iflte election which

The Republican party had been characterized as tyrannical and opDre&aive Anri, the course of the party anri thy brtte® d ei n s£r^ y fi party. What was the cause of «U this ? He might be mistaken, buLhe thought this wks should be breaented to the American people t eminent in Louisian*; whether It was a gtreeffln&am rtgM> or not was Waquasin Louisiana f Whether they called it a government dey»re-or.a government de-facto waa another question. Itjwoplfinotdgfor the fekS no X Of the Legislature OU the ’dbb iiwt, thaojtiie election of a hundred years hence. IF there was no government in Louisiana, as had bbten" argued by tire Senators' <m the other side, why did they make nil this noise and eon1 <Md not propose to evade' tire question in thatmaaner. However, there W 4 government in that State, a.gbvernment recognized by the courts, and recognized by branches Of Congress'and by a majority of the citizens of; that State. The acta’of the Conservatives in the Louisiana Legislature on the 4th ’ taat were acta of treason against the State, for which they should fa«ws-. been punished. It had been On the night before tlfo election in Louisiana last fall notices were, posted upon the •ddors of white and colored Republicans notifying them that if they voted the Republican ticket for safe teweltntereiglveh to colored men who to lta “ ' Dbgdn i rend drib of these

There should be a concert pf action throughout the State, and such action should bp prompt and emphatic-. Resuming his aneutnent, he said the Senator from Georgia (Gordon) -was in, the habit of bringing in Georgia at all times when. an. intimation was spoken of to show that that State Was peaceful. He (togah) would apeak on that point before be concluded. _ Senatoi Gordon had yesterday, askted where the judlcifh officers of Lottisr-

The'AttorneV Was ffitirdered by the some banditti which murdered the toen at Coushatta. '1» «t* jj and said the aete Of WUtx iii the Legislature were the acta of a revolutionary body,. Gov. Kellogg took no action whatever. The Legislature had been taken possession of»by a' inob. As Governor at 4ae State it was his dutyto-doatiin his Txjwer to preserve peaceand order. It was Kellogg himself who took the responsibility of calling upon the troops. Presideut-G rant had, nothing to do with itj, Sheridan had nothing to do with. it, and the. Senate had nothing to do with it. Therefore the denunciation heaped upon President Grant by. the Democrats for using the army went for naught, fofche knew no more about it than the Democrats did until he saw it in print. The Democrats could not wait to hear all the facte about Louisiana. They .wanted to have a clamor raised before the epuntry for political purposes and for nothing else. The Democratic part& had indorsed resolutions ten times as strong as this complained of in /few Orleans. He (Logfin) believed that this raid made on the Senate in the <Nsw York that this revolutton was to be made in Loutsiana for the purpose of ever turning the Legislature of that State. He did nbtsay the'understanding was among the Democrats of the Senate, hut it was somewhete. He defended - the action of Kellogg in calling upon the military ana said had the Democrats been in power and the Republicanstriqd to overthrow them as the Democrats tried to overthrow the Republican Government in New Orleans, the Democrats would have acted just as Kellogg.4id. The , Democratic party had frequently indorsed the use pt military lorce. Gen. Jackson, when in thtsbame eity-(New Orleans), arrested and imprisoned Judge Ifull for issuing a writ of habeas co/pus.

Mr. Loganjsajd he had no doubt there were many Democrats in the South who would like to see Sheridan hung- to a lamp-post. He cared a«t whether the editor of the paper reflected the sentiment of the people of Georgia or not. Such -language had its effect upon the people of lgmisiana, who were easily excited. He next referred to Alabama, and had read a letter of Judgfe' Kleis in reference to the shooting of his. asa.
