New Orleans, Jan. 31. Gov. Kel
: logg concluded his testimony last
night. He showed that Warmoth’s
administration was constantly de
nounced us an usurpation upheld by
Federal bayonets, the offspring of
the unconstitutional reconstruction
acts. In 1868 Warmoth was virtually
compelled to abdicate the Knights of
tip' White Camelia, inaugurating
such a reign of terror that ton votes
were east in New Orleans for Grant,
and in many parishes non*. The
White League was a similar organi
zation for the purpose of getting po
litical control of the State. The gov
ernment and had laws complained of
were created by the Democratic leg
islation of 1866 and under Warmoth.
He iKellogg) had reduced the debt
* <>ho infill oh and a half, and taxes
I nearly one-third; had secured the!
I adoption of constitutional amend-!
1 ments limiting the debt of the State
and city, limiting taxation, and so-,
curing a financial policy that can but |
! be for the good of tho State. In near-;
i ly all the large colored parishes eve-!
j rything was orderly and the taxes
well paid, while the delinquent and
j lawless were in the while parishes
Property was being more equally di
vided; before the war proierty was
in a few hands, and plantations wen*
i niosth mortgaged. Now the colored
people are fast gaining property;
i while the former rich lmd become
poor the former poor weiv all fast
acquiring property wherever they are
allowed to live in peace by the white .
Taxes were higher than before the
war. The assessments were rarely
less in all the country parishes. Gov.
Kellogg made a showing of the real
facts connected with taxation, which
j evidenth surprised and gratified the
Committee, and which fully exploded
the theory that higher taxes were tin*
main cause of the difficulties now and
; since the war. In 1872 the Republi
cans had not a single register oroom
j missionor of elections in the Stab*,
while at tho last election the Demo
crats had an equal representation,
while in some parts of tin* State the
whole. The Democratic returns of
the election of 1872 were in part forge
ries, He offered to produce the sworn
statement of two of the five members
: of the Democratic returning board,
that they never compiled or signed 1
the pretended Democratic official
1 eompilution published in tin* Senate
report. A third member of the board,
had authorized him to make t he same
statement. Several of the returns
! against Giant and himself from par
ishes were forged in New Orleans.
Hr said he had always been willing
and was now to submit the question
of his election to any proper tribunal
or to this Committee, and would abide
| its decision. The hostility against
t he State Government was not that it
was corrupt, for that he defied the
opposition to show or that it was an
usurpation, so much as that it repre
sented those who upheld the Foiir
! teeuth and Fifteenth amendments.

Several projects which are likely to
change the features of geography to
some extent have been furnished the
! American geographical society and
are worthy of notice. The Suez
canal already successfully carried
; out - has separated entirely the eon
finents of Asia and Africa. The
Isthmus canal, between the Pacific
ocean and the Caribbean sea, will, in
like manner, when completed, divide
the North and South Ameriean con
tinents. The proposed Maryland
and Delaware ship canal, to connect
|t he waters of the Chesapeake and
Delaware bays, bv the Sassafras river
will convert the large peninsula, 150
1 miles long from north to south, and
over 85 miles wide at the widest part,
| comprising more than three-fourths
of the State of Delaware, the coun
ties of Northampton and Accomac,
Virginia, and nearly all that portion
1 of Maryland on the eastern shore
' an area of little less than 5,000 square
miles into an island. Another ship
canal Is to cut oIT tho peninsula of
Barnstable from the main land of
Massach. Both of the two latter
enterprises, it is thought, will soon
lie accomplished, as the benefits of
American commerce that will come
: from them are most munifest.
