No close observer can deny that the
general condition of affairs bears
trouble brewing. One cannot give good
reason for thinking so. There are no pro-
nounced signs; but yet the impression is ex.
ceedingly strong. There is that in the very
atmosphere which, although an apparent
quiet, convinces the intelligent mind that il
is the stiffness which precedes storm
Gov. Penn says that the people are goaded
to such a pitch that they will be
controlled by nothing. They are
bent upon making a desperate move
and that they will make it is as sure
as anything can well be. Kellogg Is again
in power, but his remaining so is not by
any means certain. The people have never
for moment since that bloody Monday,
nor since Kellogg's restoration, yielded one
title of their firm resolve to rid the State OF
the usurpers. And at no time has that de-
termination been stronger than now. They
can not have a government of their own, for
Grant has settled that; but they will have
martial law, and do not think they will
stop short of getting it. The only way they

That method they are bound to put into eft.
feet. Kellogg himself thinks there will be
no further trouble; but he is about the only
leading officer that does think so. The chief
of police, Longstreet. Marshal Packard, the
commander of the United States forces here,
and numerous men of prominence in the
Kellogg government, all agree that the
signs are ominous, and they are growing
palmer and more significant every hour.
Judge Atocha, of the Superior Grim
inal Court, and Kellogg appointee,
has resigned; for the reason that
prosecute the leaders of the late rebellion,
and that be will not sit in judgment on their
acts. The military appearance of the court
house is greater than ever. Several c0mpa-
mics of troops are crowded into whatever
vacant rooms can be found. The military
appearance Is preserved, also, at the custom
house-the barricades and the sentinels are
all placed just as they were on the day of the
fight. Not stone nor soldier has been
removed. According to the state house and
custom house, war is not yet banished hence.
The three ships OF war--the Colorado,
Shawmut, and Kansas here by
Grant, will reach the city tomorrow. Two
monitors are still anchored off the city,
where they have been for week, fully
manned and prepared for instant work.
More troops are due here tonight. It is I'M
derstood that the troops here are under or
ders to hold themselves in readiness for an
instant move, as it was unprecedented that
their services would be needed within the
next forty.eight hours. Kellogg said to-day
that If his opponents would commit no fur
Their overt acts, he would agree to use his
best efforts to prevent their legal prosecution
for what they had already done.

2 BAGGERs-THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION.
The Chicago Times. of the sd inst, con-
tsins the following interesting review con-
corning Louisiana affairs: Among the ar
rivals In this city yesterday. was the Rev.
Henry Noble Shong, 8. It. D., LII. D., rector
Of st. James Church, Baton Rouge, La.
Mr.. Strong was formerly connected with
the diocese of Illinois, having officiated as
rector of st. Paul's, Peoria, and of st.
Johns, Quincy He was also
member and secretary of the standing COM
mittee of the diocese, and well known
it was the good fortune of this
State to have officiating within its limits.
In 1868 he left for the South, owing to a
severe attack of sickness, and since that time
he has held the position which he now
graces, that of rector Of one of the largest
parishes in the diocese Of Louisiana. He is
at present guest of Mr.. +. p. Hall, at No.
422 MICHIGAN aVonn0- last avaninU a
porter called at the residence of Mr.. Hall,
for the purpose OF cleaning
such a statement of his experiences
in the South, and of its present condition, as
must naturally be most interesting at the
present time. When Mr.. Strong had re-
sponded to the call, the reporter opened the
by stating that The Times
would be glad to publish any Information
that the reverend gentleman might be
pleased to give with reference to the present
condition of the South.
Mr.. Strong-I know but very little of the
political movements that have taken place
in the State for the past few weeks. My po-
sition has simply been that of a priest of a
large parish, having feelings in common with
his parishioners, observing the state of socie-
ty, the terrible condition of affairs, grieving
with them, disheartened with them, hopeless
with them.
Rs the condition of the state any worse
than it was at the time you went therein
1868?
Mr.. S.-Indeed, it is. 1t has been growing
worse year by year. To-day the state has q
debt of 100000 900; at one time, when the
military had possession of the state, 1t had a
million dollars in its treasury.
R.-What Is the general sentiment of the
people of the state?
Mr.. S.-With regard to the northern peo-
pie who have made their homes there, who
lived there long before the present unhappy
state of affairs was dreamed of, it Is most
deplorable. The carpet-bsggers, the specu-
lators who have come there solely to see
what they can steal, who never invest 500
in real estate, but solely are actuated by the
desire of making fortunes In the shortest
time possible, so they may return with
THEIR mL-GorTEN GAINS
to the North; they are not Louisianians.
We do not, can not recognize them but as
