Kellogg last evening, ho jumped into
his carriage and was driven at furious
rate to the st. Charles hotel. Kellogg
got out and in very nervous manner, us
pale as q ghost inquired for Mr..
Robert Rivers, the proprietor Of the no.

by tho arm In very excited manner and
hurried him into Rivers back Office. His

came Governor you would not commls-
sion that negro, Brown, as superinten-
dent Of public education. You had not
been In office twelve minutes before you
had commissioned him. Besides you
ought TO know best yourself whether you
were elected Governor or not, But you
must be satisfied now that you are not
even the choice Ot the negro, every white
man in the State repudiateS you. You
have everything that men fight for in this
World-yOu have wealth and talent, and
you arc man OF family. Be satisfied,
and don't try TO govern people who hate
you. You have escaped this time, but
this Is not the only attempt likely to be

may not escape In future" -r
After some further conversation, Dir.
Kellogg sent for some deputy marshals or
