BOsToN, June II, IST3.-To my dear
Governor: Think my retainer in the mat
ter Of the petition in the Supreme Court,
about the affair Of Louisiana should be

counsel who argued it. They will recog-
nize my services and l was Obliged, in
consequence Of the retainer, to refuse one

ceipt. Very truly youTs,

Gen. Butler refers TO a case before the
Supreme Court; but gentlemen who are
familiar with Louisiana affairs say there
was no Louisiana case before that court al
the time this letter was written, and that
the services thus lngenionsly described
were nothing less than his influence as
member of Congress in the Pinchback and
Mcmillan eontest-in fact that he was in
terested and retained, Just as it appears
from other letters, that Caleb Gushing, At
tOrney General Williams and VIM. E.
Chandler, Secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee, were.
There are other letters making startling
revelations and duplicating prominent men
in Washington, including two Senators, to
the extent that they are shown to have
asked for and acknowledged the receipt Of
a large sum of money from kellogg.

Natchiotches Vindicator, Sept. -.
When these men take seats here as
rulers, troops must surround them for all
time to come. and their authority will not
be extended beyond the point of Federal
bayonet. We have said it, and We intend
to stand by il as long as life lasts.
Baton Rouge Advocate, Sept. p.
Soon all parties will grow weary Of this
miserable trayesty Of government, and by
H.. .I.. unll
they fail 10 do so, we can't believe that the
people of the United States will long tOler
ate a government established or maintained
by bayonets alone. We have seen the be-
ginning Of the end. Our cause will tri-
umph yet.
Shreveport Times, Sept. l9.
Ii will require an army of 10000 men to
hold in its place the rotten and contempt
bic usurpatiOn. The President cannot VI
talize the Kellogg usuTpatiOn, and his most
vigorous and determined acts 10 that end
will result simply in plunging the State
into anarchy. Ii he establishes anything.
+, might be reign OF assassination. The
people of Louisiana were and are willing
TO accept military government. They are
and were willing TO accept solution Of
their troubles through new election, held
under Federal auspices. II was and is not
the MeEnery Government they want so
much rs it is that they are determined
never to have, with their own consent, the
kellogg usurpation.
A Specimen Of KeIIOgS's Appoint

Ter. resigned. In this affair, il is stated, the
Governor exhibited one Of those character
istics which has contributed To make him
so unpopular with his own party, as well
as with his opponents. Miller is said TO
have resigned on the promise of the Gov
ernOr that he should b. appointed TO one
of the Police COmmiSsiOnershipS which
was about TO be made vacant. AS soon rs
his resignation was received, Assessor
Adams, a VIGOROUSLY bad man, who very
recently was running 4 gambling-hOuSe,
and whose name was terror in old Know
Nothing times, he having killed several
men in his day, was appointed to iii the
vacancy, and two other men were placedOn

licans, and, as his court is in the wealth.
lest portion of the city, ii is likely to be
received by the community generally with
unbounded disfavOr. JOhnson's appoint
ment is equally unsatisfactory.
The white League-Its Condition and
Policy.
The city is unusually quiet and void of
excitement, and il does not Stem likely
that any further outbreak is likely to occur
at present. The quiet state of feeling may
be deceptive, however. The White League
is now in fully as good trim as it was the
day of the hattie, ten days ago, with the
addition 0t the prestige derived from
achieved success. They cOuld probably
rally ten thousand well-armed men, most
" of them old Confederate soldiers. Be
sides the splendid organization in the city,
they are organized and armed in every par
ish in the State. They could
capture and impriSOn what United
States troops there are here rs easily rs
not. there being not more than 1000 in
the city. The United States authorities
have three monitors lying opposite the city
in the river, however, which would pr0ba-
bly, exercise 4 very conservative influence
on the part of prOperty-Owners in case of
trouble, but it has been so far the policy of
the White League not TO come in contact
with the Federal authorities. In case the
troops should be removed, the League
would no doubt go and turn Kellogg out of
the Statehouse, and clean out the MetropO-
Titan police again.
