LOUISIANA's INsURRECTION,


tion there He said that he had ordered them to
lay down their arms and disperse, and he intended
to make them do it, Senator West has no doubt
and dispense before Monday next, but Gays that
when they have done it the Kellogg administration
will be no better off than it Is now.
Judging from the Associated Press dispatches. the
revolution has already been successful and the dis
persion of the militia called out by Penn will not
restore Kellogg TO power. IL the President under
takes TO put Kellogg back into the State House, as
Senator West presumes he will do. by the and OF
United States troops. he will not succeed unless ne
can put into Kellogg sufficient courage TO enable
him to be put back Kellogg cannot stand ot at
arms length or hide 10 the Custom-house, surround
ed by United States troops and Calling guns, and
exercise the powers and duties of Governor of the
State. The Senator thinks that Kellogg ought to
have remained in the Executive office and defended
it even with his life and that the cowardice he has
shown in running away has not only proved HIM to
be unequal TO the present emergency but has great
iy complicated matters.
In speaking of the easy victory which the citizens
seem to have gained over the Metropolitan Police.
Mr.. West said that 1t did not surprise him; that
body was made up of political bummers, who held
their places because they were expert in managing
ward caucuses The rank and file had been cheated
out of part of their pay and it not strange that
they should fail Kellogg at this time. Senator West
has not made up his mind whether the people mean
to fight or not. He thinks, however, that 1T was
part of their plan Co accomplish revolution before
it would be possible to get United States troops
there thinking that when they constituted the only
government there in the State, 1t would De I'M
possible to overthrow them He doubts if the better
class of the people throughout the State sustain this
movement, but says that it has been precipitated'
as the Rebellion was in 1884, by the politicians, who
are hungry for office He thinks that the United
States Government made great mistake In With
drawing troops from Louisiana last June, and says
that his protest against it is a matter of records
that the withdrawal taken in connection with the
Presidents refusal TO interfere in the Texas and
Arkansas cases, he believes. encouraged the follow
ers of McEnery TO suppose that if they under took
revolution they would not be interfered with.
The departure of the President has excited the
most unfayorable comment on all sides. Whatever
dispatches may arrive tonight must await his re-
ceiying them at Long Branch tomorrow Inc
absence of Gen. Sherman, the Secretary Oh war;
and Secretary Robson seemed to make the Fresl-
dents stay more necessary There are besides
large number of gentlemen An town from dlstaht
parts of the country, who have been waiting some
DAYS to see him on important business To-day
however it was difficult for prominent officials TO
get near him with their business and much OF TINS
was left till he appears again.
There are some in executive circles who beileve
that the situation IN Louisiana will be very likely
TO render an early session Of Congress necessary.
These think that if the McEnery Government should
be put in power throughout the State, and all now
in arms should disperse, and the new Government
move on quietly the matter of the Government
changing this by military force would then become
40 serious that the Presidentwou call Congress TO-
rether to consider it, especially so many Admins
tration Senators were inclined last Winter to sup
port McEnery.
