Louisiana Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Gen. EN-
ory telegraphs to the War Department
as follows: yesterday the State au-
thorities replaced temporarily the po-
lice force by the regular police force
of the city. 1t was feared the change

were posted at various points of the

think this may be taken as evidence
that the surrender was complete and
in good faith"

Victoria woodruff Interviewed.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. - Victoria
Woodruff, since her return from Eu-
rope, remains very secluded. She was,
= however, interviewed to-day and ex-
pressed indignation at the insinua-
tions cast upon herself. She says that
Tilton's references, in his statement,
regarding her blackmail character are
decidedly mean and as false as they
are cowardly, and that he lies when
he insinuates that she was intimidated
or bought up by the Beecher party,
for they all know that money cannot
buy her. She said she published a
true statement of the case. Tilton is
no more to her than Beecher, and Uice
persa. Tiltons story about bribing
her to keep quiet is false. The way
that Tilton aud she broke was this:
Tilton told her he had been retained
by Greeley to go to the Convention at
Cincinnati to support him, and she
told him that if he nominated Gree
ley for the Presidency it would kill
him. BY her clairvoyant vision she
had seen Greeley's coffin and Tilton
alongside driving nails into it; but
Tilton went, and that was the last of
their intimacy. She admitted that
the passage to Europe and return for
herself and sister was paid, but she
declined to say by whom. She was
preparing an accurate statement of
the scandal, to let people know the
truth, but it would be published ex-
clusively in her own paper.
Jay Gould on Tour.
NEW YORK, Sept. 81. = The Times
says that "President Dillon and Jay
Gould started for a tour of inspection
over the Union Pacific connecting
roads Saturday. They will probably
go as far as San Francisco. One of
the objects of the journey will be to
facilitate passenger traffic over the
Union Pacific Railroad by increasing
the speed of the trains, which now
only make fifteen miles an hour. In
stead of making connection with the
Union Pacific by transfer at Council
Bluffs it is proposed to run through
cars from Chicago, abolishing the
transfer as above conducted. The
speed will be increased so that day
will be saved between Chicago aad
Ogden"
