General Warmoth, Governor of the State, was a Fusionist: the Fusionists being a party of timid people, led by Senator Jewell, who wished for nothing so much as peace, and sank all points of difference with their neighbours in order to oppose the policy attributed to President Grant of meaning to rule Louisiana and her sister States by the sword. Warmoth's term of office was near an end. Jewell proposed him for a second term; but Jewell's advocacy failed. A second term for Warmoth, and no second term for Grant, proved a bad cry. The contest for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor lay between General McEnery Jewell's advocacy failed. A second term for Warmoth, and no second term for Grant, proved a bad cry. The contest for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor lay between General McEnery and General Penn, soldiers of local name, on one side; and William P. Kellogg, a lawyer from Illinois, and Caesar C.

In everything save numbers his opponents were superior to his friends. McEnery and Penn were men of wealth, position, and repute, with every citizen of New Orleans and every planter of Louisiana at their side. Kellogg was a stranger in the city, havilature of Louisiana would have met, and organized itself under Governor Warmoth.

Durell had his reward. Casey withdrew from the contest for Senator, taking the snug and lucrative berth of Collector, while Durell's friend Norton was adopted by a scalawag county as their par
der was signed, and the grave mistake carried into full effect. These things were not only done in ignorance, but are maintained to-day, when the illegality is admitted, and the grave mistake denounced by President Grant himself. In fact, this order, hardly to be matched in absurdity by the edicts of Rio Jacques on the Senegal, governs the domestic politics of Louisiana to the present hour! If Judge Durell had not signed that order, the legislature of Louisiana would have met, and organized itself under Governor Warmoth. It is all but certain that Chambers freely organized would have found McEnery and Penn duly elected to the executive office. It is certain that the Supreme Court of Louisiana would have sustained that finding. Under a Conservative ruler, New Orleans might have found such peace as reigns in Charleston and Raleigh. Judge Durell's order gave the partisans of Kellogg an advantage over the citizens of Louisiana, and by Kellogg's act the reign of anarchy began.
George H. Williams (search for this): chapter 1
hese words : Washington, Department of Justice, Dec. 3, 1872. You are to enforce the decrees of the United States Courts, no matter by whom resisted, and General Emory will furnish you with the necessary troops for that purpose. George H. Williams, Attorney-General. This message was a riddle. Stephen B. Packard is a carpet-bagger, whom the President has sent to New Orleans as United States Marshal. General Emory is a Federal officer commanding the Department of the Gulf. But whots had been resisted in New Orleans. No opposition was expected by those Courts. Judge Durell, the only Federal magistrate in Louisiana, had never made a complaint. Why, then, was an inferior officer like Stephen B. Packard, urged by Attorney-General Williams, President Grant's legal adviser, to call out troops in order to execute the mandate of his court? The President was supposed to have two objects in view at New Orleans; first, to secure the State vote for his second term as Preside
igns in Louisiana. No one doubts the fact; but General McEnery and the White citizens assert that this reign osey to the front. Neither Governor Warmoth nor General McEnery could make it out. Against whom was Packard to or Governor and Lieutenant-Governor lay between General McEnery and General Penn, soldiers of local name, on onwithout a legal governor and a regular government. McEnery was content to wait until the Chambers met; but Kelumbers his opponents were superior to his friends. McEnery and Penn were men of wealth, position, and repute, be turned to good account? If neither Kellogg nor McEnery should be able to prove his case, Warmoth, the only the other. Under him there might be order. Under McEnery there was likely to be disorder; under Kellogg there great question as to which of the two candidates, McEnery and Kellogg, was legally elected, to the judges of ain that Chambers freely organized would have found McEnery and Penn duly elected to the executive office.
