The New Orleans Bulletin

A new muddle in Louisiana has arisen out of the address of the Conservative State Committee, which has provoked Gov. Kellogg to make the reply telegraphed from New Orleans and printed this morning. He accuses the Conservative Committee of ripping open old sores, and misrepresenting his own action. We do not see that his reply has any tendency to produce the harmony which he professes to desire. The arrangement agreed on in the conference was not intended to silence political discussion, but only to secure a fair election and an honest counting of the votes.

The McEnery party and the Kellogg party remain as free to expose and denounce each other as if no such announcement had been made. It is ridiculous and childish for Kellogg to complain that he continues to be criticised by the Conservatives. It is an election that is to take place, not a compromise. One party or the other will be out-voted, and each is entitled to use all the customary weapons of political warfare. Neither has bound itself to relinquish any other advantage than the dishonest one of cheating at the polls. Kellogg is very foolish in claiming exemption from the ordinary attacks made on public officers by their political opponents.-N. Y. Herald, of Oct. 8th.
