forcible abduction Oh last Friday Of re-

peared on the day mentioned, and who was
being searched for by the police and her

peal to our brethren in the other States
for their sympathy and support of
a position which they are all interested
in maintaining, thus vindicat-
ing a cardinal principle of our political sys-
tenn. We have no other hope or means OF
defense against the wrongs done US. We
can only assert our rights, refuse suomls-
sion to usurpation and abide the Judgment
of the American people in our case. Mean
time it behooves the people OF Louisiana 10
preserve their manhood, their dignity and
their patience. Suffering under the great
est indignities which can be perpstrated
upon a free people, they are threatened
with prolongsLion of reign OF eorrup-
ton, spoliation and oppression for four
years longer.
We have no other recourse against such
calamity, and no means Of re-establishing
our rights as q people and our status as a
republican STATE, but by firm and I'M
Welding adherence to the lawful govern
ment of the State. We therefore urge our
fellow-citizens to give us their jealous sup.
port and encouragement in our endeavors
to support and put in operation this Gov
eminent, not by violent resistance to the
authority of the United States, but by a
firm and united opposition to any and
every act of the usurning government Of
Kellogg and his confederates. A
In view Of the great disasters Of our
STATE, resulting from political troubles, we
have been disposed to make large coDces-
siohs aud compromises to secure peacs and
good government to Louisiana, but all pro-
positions of that character have been
haughtuy rejected by the usarpers. Z r.
boldened by the cOunteDancs and support
extended to them by the Federal Executive,
nothing then is left to the free and honest
citizens of this States who elected Us and
our associates, but to rally With renewed
earnestness and devotion to the defense and
support of the de j1re and lawful govern
ment. With heir approval and support we
have an abiding contidence 10 the eventual
triumph of our case and the recognition by
q Just and honest national administration
of the equal rights Of Louisiana, as one OF

Statement Of Gov. McEnery Regard
ing the Purpose and Effect OF the
Outbreak.
Correspondence of the New York Herald.
NEW ORLEANS, March Gov. Nc
Enery's whereabouts vas unknown during
the earlier portion Of the day, but this
evening your reporter succeeded in finding
him at friends private office. He appear
ed very much depressed at the turn affairs
had taken, and was inclined to be Eeticent.
In response to various Inquiries PROFOUND
ed, bis statement may be summed up as
follows:
This movement of the militia was made
with his consent, as an unavoidable neces-
sity in the discharge of duty, but only after
having exhausted every other resource in
his power. lis main object was to precip i
tate an issue with the general government,
in order that its policy might be clearly de-
fined aud military interference with the
State government made overt before the
American people. On no account was the
United States authority, when once assert
ed, TO be disputed or resisted. He had
hoped for a more successful result, but at
tributed its failure to the supineness Of the
people and want Of the means. They had
out few arms, no money, and lacked proper
organization.
NO SURRENDER.
When asked if he gave up the contest, be
replied in the negative, feelingly and with
decision. He expressed determination to
remain at bis post in the city, and to per-
sc we're in his attempts to maintain and es-
tabish his authority. When questioned as
to how he expected to accomplish this end,
he did not speak very hopefully. He con-
templated only passive resistance, and &C
knoWledged that the oaly success possible
was to be found in the determined resistance
of the people to the payment oftaxes, or re-
cognizng in any manner the Kellogg au'
thority. He knew of no other movements
contemplated by his friends, and after the
result of last Might developing, as it did, the
attitude of the United Ssates government
should oppose any further employment OF
force in his or the peoples behalf.

The Bank BurgIary-SIOO,OOO in
Bonds Missing.
LOUISVILLE, March 11.-Other special
deposits in the Falls City Tobacco Bank,
robbed Sunday night, are found to be miss
ing to-day, among them ten bonds of the
Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington Short
Line Railroad, Nos 1913 to z02 Inclusive, OF
81 900 each; also 1856 to 40 inclusive, and
lao and $50 of the Jacksonville, Madison
and indianapolis Railroad first mortgage
bonds, $1,000 each; also 1,527 to l 1913 OF
Jacksonville, Madison and indianapolis
Railroad second mortgage bonds, $1,000
each, All JeffersonVille Railroad bonds,
Short Line bonds and New Albany city
bonds are missing, amounting to probably
over 100000.
1t seems the burglars selected all securl-
ties easily disposed of in the East, leaving
local securities scattered over the hoor OF
the vault. The work was evidently done
by professional burglars, most skllful and
scientific in the business.
A further examination Of the vault to-day
reveals the fact that q previous effort had
been made to burglarize the bank ID the
same way. An iron wedge was driven in
a corner of the inner casing and also small
hole cut through the top. The wedge was
rnstv and tie hole filed up with putty. 1t
is supposed the attempt was made some
months since and relinquished for the lack
of tools, but the same parties returned well
prepared to accomplish the WORK.
