ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELEGRAPH
WASHINGTON, June 81.
The Charges Against the Collector OF
New Orleans.
The charges against w. p. Kellogg, Collector
of Customs for the port of New Orleans, in
reference to certain illegal practices-specula-
ton in stocks and the appointment of Rebels
TO Office who would not take the oath-have
been stigmatized in sworn afRdavits by the
leading citizens of New Orleans, as false and
malicious in every particular.
Governor Flanders, of Louisiana, OPP
posed TO COnf1scRttOn.
Governor Flanders, in his speech to the
Republican Convention at session in New Or
leans, pronounced his unqualified condemna-
tion of all the schemes of confscation which
the Convention had recognized. Confscation
was but legalized robbery, and, besides its
cruelty and oppression, was a mere incentive
and temptation to robbery and corruption on
the part of the victors. He hoped the radical
Republicans would no longer stain their hands
or discredit their cause by any schemes of this
nature.
The Governor further declared his unquali-
fed opposition to and dissent from the resolu-
tion requiring the offices to be equally divided
between the two colors. This resolution was
in direct opposition to one of the cardinal doc
trines of the party, which repudiated all dis
tinctiOns founded ON race or color, and
made the tests of merit and capacity to de-
pend on moral and intellectual qualifications.
An arithmetioal division of ofices-any agree
ment to adjust the bestowal of office with re-
gard to color or race-was opposed to this doc
trine. The most fit, capable, and honest
should be selected for the offices, of whatever
color or race.
