LOUISIANA.

President Grant has issued Il proclamation
calling upon all persons opposed to the kel.
logg government in Louisiana, and whom
he designates as insurgents, ito dispense and
retire peaceably to their respective homes
within twenty days" under penalty of being
Suppressed" by the armies of the United
States. The reasons which he assumes for
thus using the strong hand of military power
to uphold State government, in opposition
to the wishes of the people of Louisiana, are
that the constituted authorities of the State
Of Louisiana have been resisted in the exc
cution of the laws by force of arms, while the
inferior and supreme courts of the State have
judicially determined the legality of those
authorities, and they have also been recog-
nized tactly by Congress.
There was time, not far distant, when
such proclamation by President, in the
face of the glazing facts of the case, would
have aroused storm of indignation over the
length and breadth of the land, but acts
usurpation and tyranny have become so COM
mon, as to cease to excite wonder, or to rouse

minded man can come to any other conclusion
than that the Kellogg government, which
owes its existence to the mandate of a drunken
Federal Judge, is not the choice of majority
of the people of Louisiana and whether the
McEnery government is or is not the one fair
ly chosen by the people of that State, it docs
! not in the least alter the severity of the blow
(which President Grant has thus struck at the
liberties of a sovereign State We have not
She slightest doubt that the much abused peo-
pie of Louisiana will endure patiently this
additional act of despotism without commit
ting any overt act; and it therefore remains
| to be seen what course General Grant soldiers
Swil pursue in case Kelloggs minions meet
with passive resistance in the collection
VI taxes. Will they assist Kellogg's officers
~ their duties try rccusants by courts
martial and punish them for their opposition,
or will they simply hold themselves in readi-
ness to suppress any outbreak or breach of

prey of organized gangs Of thicvish Mexicans

General Mckenzie, commanding some Uni
