GBY TKLEGRAPH TO THB TRIBUSRl
NEW ORLEANS. June 1.-Gov. McEnery, in an adj
dress to the people of Louisiana, says:
Icis apparent you we'll "a to all the people OF
this Union that the President resolved at all hazards
and at all costs sustain, by the military arm OF the
nation the present usurpaton Of the State
ushered into existence by the midnight order OF United
states District Judge Dure executed by United States
bayonets and presided by Mr.. william
Pitt Kellogg You ordered aud required
by the President TO view with calmness aud resignation
the overthrow Of the legal government Of your State
elected by you pursuance to all the forms OF saw the
displacement OF judges clerks sheriff. recorders JUS
tees OF the peace police, jurors, etc. IN fact the dis
placement by force OF the whole machinery Of govern
meut state parochial municipal and tho installa-
ton by OF persons VIGOROUSLY defeated NJ the cleo
ton ana whose only title 10 Office rests upon the return
OF returning board without a single official
return or vote before it to canvass or
count, and predicating its Illegal action
upon adavits many forged, certificates state
ments census returns &c. You are commanded by the
President to oppose no armed resistance this admitted
usurpaton which without the potential aid OF Federal
authority would cease to exist I'm DAYS, and counsel
and advise you obey this peremptorY order OF the
President President Grant the Chief Magistrate OF
tv OF Oistng upon the people OF this State usurpatOu
without precedent in this any other free country,
and he Is answerable before the bar Of public opinion
OF this Republic for this high-handed measure,
so utterly destructive OF free government in this
country President OF the United States, with the
army and navy at his command has the physical power
20 coerce the people this state into any line Of policy
he may be pleased dictate and it would be but folly
and madness to interpose any resistance likely TO bring
Ms in conflict with the national authority 10 has al
ready successfully demonstrated that Mr. keoggs
government unaded by Federal power was poweress 10
enforce its mandates further violent demonstrations
will prove barren Of useful practical results while
the Presidents proclamation viii speedily repress any
threatened outbreak in every part Of the state Yet the
deepy fixed sentiments Of repressibe hostility in the
minds and hearts Of outraged people against the
vlest usurpaton attempted 20 be fastened upon
freemen will ind their fun scope and vent. I advise
that these manly and patriotic sentiments take form and
shape through all moral and legal agencies possible to
be devised. In the time 1 trust that
peace and order may reign supreme through
out the State, and that all industrial
pursuits will be embarrassed by the political difficulties
INTO which, uuhappiiY, have been so unnecessarily
and ruthessy plunged, and especially do urge upon
the people OF the two races who numerically nearly
equal in this state to cultivate the towards the
ether nothing feelings OF amty good feeling and
mutual understanding. The and prejudices that
have been nsted minds and hearts OF the col
ored man against his white neghbOr should give place
reason anu Judgment, II the people OF the white
FRANK aud open IN their aVoWaI 70
the colored man all the rights guaranteed TO
INN under the law On the other hand the eolored man
should accept with sincerity the pighted fah OF his
white neghbOr, and thus Oy an interchange Of candid
opinions, preiuCces entertained by both races may be
Obllterated "a and brighter career opened up Tor
both peoples. ana the antagOnsm now existing VIII ave
place mutual fOrbearnce and the destiny OF che two
indssolubiy united with the fate OF Louisiana
VIII be placed IN higher scale Of advancement than at
present appears 10 be the outlook Tor poor oppressed,
unhappy Louisiana.
The Grand Jury Of the Parish Of Orleans in their
report call attention to the rapid increase Of crime in
this city. and the general meficiency of Kelogg's
metropolitan Police Tley say;
We charge the Chief OF Police with lukewarm ndIf-
ference aud bChOOves hun 10 stir IN this matter and
deep interest 1erreug 0uJ these traps Tor
a will guarantee him more success than IN
his uutirng efforts % force upon an unwilihg commu-
nifty asprants IN whom they have 40 confidence anu ~
whom they would not be ruled.
II has been discovered that under old law giving 20
every State each year small quota Of and accou-
ttrments for militia purposes Louisiana, for whom none
have been drawn several years is entitled to $4,000
worth OF munitions OF war from the General Govern
ment. Mr. Kellogg has accordingly made the necessary
requisiton number Of cavalry belts sabers mus
kets and Winchester rifles. besides two howtZers and
two Calling guns arrived yesterday, while two Napo
leon guns, addition to those which tile Metropoans
already have, and large quantity Of other arms and
war materials have just been shipped ana are on tho
way Kellogg has also about 90 cavalry horses, and has
nearly completed the repairs his boar, the Ozark,
which is 10 be used his troops There Is
nowhere m the state any armed resistance TO the Ke
