The Southern Outrage Mandatory.
Especial Dispatch to the Enquirer.l

WASHINGTON, Sept THE carpet-baggers
are still hanging around Washington, and are
still busy pulling the wires by which they
have already entrapped the Administration
into their schemes The so-called Senator
Spencer, Of Alabama, is drilling his men to
send on to Long Branch to operate ON the
President. He told one of these fellows the
other day: "Take all your strongest letters to
Grant re ID passages from them to him, ard
tell him that they are a sample Of your daily
mail" 1t is obvious that the outrage mill is
to be KEEP running for some time.
The carpet-bag3ers are very reluctant to
have any military officers or a commission
sent down South by the President for the pur-
pose OF examination into the condition Of
affairs there. Nor are they willing that the
army officers shall have any discretionary
power Their plan is to do whatever they are
told to do by the District Attorneys and Mar
shals, and as these civil Off, in the South
are filed by the most malignant of carpet-bag
gers and scalawass, they reckon confidently
on their doing all they want for political pur-
poses Another branch of the same political
game is to have convention of these robbers
and slanderers Of the Southern people, at At
lanta, Georgia, on the 18th of October who
are to cook up electioneering documents de-
signed to affect the Congressional elections at
the North in November.

ADDRESS OF THE CITIZENS OF CADDO
TO PR SIDENT GRANT.

We have received copy of the address OF
the people OF Caddo, sent by telegraph to
President Grant, briefly alluded to in our dis
patches of Monday. They prove conclusively
that no citizen of that parish participated in
the Coushatta affair, declare that no spirit OF
iawlessness exists in that section that cannot
be held in check by the local authorities and
complain that the origin and character of the
Coushatta affair and other civil connections
which have occurred in Louisiana, have been
misrepresented to the President, or that his
judgment of them has been colored by the
grossly false reports OF a partisan press, and
of parties who conceive that it is fair political
strategy to misrepresent their political oppo-
nents. The address concludes as follows:
Before your Excellencv permits the arrest of
our citizens to be made by Federal officials
tie atfidavits of our political antag onists, we
earnestly entreat you to appoint Commission OF
faT-mlnded men to visit this State and lnvest

disturbances that have TRANSFERRED in various
localities of the State, and judge from the eyl
dence If the partisans of the presen. State Gov
ernment and the negroes are not the insti.a-
tors.
Should your Excellency deem that we are en-
titled to this consideration, guarantee that
full and ample testimony can be had and that the
white people of the State, at least of this por-
ton Of it, will give such Commission all the as
sstance in their power and acq,;iesco in its judi,
ment.
We assure your EXccllcncy that the white peo-

Who Controls Kellogg.
The Friends of the People.

Much Indignation was caused a few days
ago, both in this city and the parishes di-
rectly interested by an order sent from here
by Kellogg, to Gen. Thompson, instructing
him to cut the levee at the mouth of Bayou
Plaquemine. Immediately on hearing Of this
order, a number of gentlemen in the city,
thoroughly acquainted with the section of
country that would be affected by such an
unwise and imprudent act, visited the de
facto Governor, and represented to him the
terrible disasters and destruction of prop
erty that would surely follow the cutting of
the Plaqnemine dixie.
To the remonstrance Of these gentlemen
| the most respectable in the communicated
from one of whom we derive the informa-
tion-Kellogg replied that he had issued the
order upon the suggestion and request OF
d. F. Kenner, Esq, and Mr.. Jos. Fl. Oglesby
both directors of the Louisiana Levee Com
pany; and he further remarked that had he
seen any OF the gentlemen present before
| issuing the ORDER he would have declined
doing SO. At the request then, of one of
the committee, a countermanding order was
Immediately dispatched to Gen. Thompson,
who, however, in the mean time had been
driven away by an incensed and enraged
crowd of citizens.
In order to obtain this order, Mr.. Kenner
is reported to have said to Kellogg that the
cutting Of this dyke would injure no one
but about seventy, or at most about hun
dred Arcadians, who lived IN picket shan
ties and fed on fish, and that no planting
interests to any extent or Importance would
be damaged thereby.
Our informant however, is of the
opinion that both Kenner and Oglesby
were influenced in their conduct in the
premises by a desire to protect the interests
Of the Levee Company, at the expense of
some of the largest planters in several
parishes, whose property would have been
entirely destroyed had the Plaquemine levee
been cut.
Again, the cutting ofthis dyke would have
relieved the levees below, and it is gently
limited that Mr.. Kenner, being largely inter
ested in five or six plantations, was not for
getfnl Of his own private fortunes in recon-
mending the opening of Bayou Plaquemine'
If now, the official position of a gigantic
corporation like this Levee Company is to
be used for the individual interests of one
of it's officers, and to the great detriment
and destruction of the property of whole
communities, we think it high time the peo-
pie should know the facts, in order that in
future they may protect themselves against
such unfair dealing.
