LOIISIANA. Uoe KeIIOKK Before tle CXmirreloMl lin c*l Ik:i (ion 4 omul 11 f re. I lo tilt* I’lMKi bv H. Al A. LUIJ 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. 4iiSua find Jupnn.

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. ■TEIIN IIV TKI.KUR.tPH.
