NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25.-The Picdg
luie OF to-day contains the following
Even kellogg is entitled TO 4 fair hearing
and defense against unjust imputatiOns.
One of these proceeding from his party al.
lies, is so potent and fiagrant that we feel
bound 10 say word in his behalf. This
is the charge of cowardioe in the particular
act of his abandonment of the
StatehOuse before All advancing
army of 100 o armed citizens. In
Washington city and all over the North,
the extreme Radicals complain that he did
not remain at tie StatehOuse and meet the
enemy at the threshold, sword in band,
aud perish like a man in defense
of his rights and government. Those fI-
g4ciOus and mendacious persOnages, Messrs.
West. Durrel. Lowell and Binh3m ct ais,
are especially emphatic in condemnation
of the pusillanimity Of Kellogg. IL is quite
a neat answer Of Kellogg To all this cheap
display Of Spartan heroism, when in his
telegram TO West he regrets the absence of
his sanguinary friends inthe moment OF his
great peril. They would doubtless have
constituted powerful body-guand TO sup
mort him in the reproduction at the s..
Louis Hotel of that dismal heroic tragedy
in which Theodore of Abyssiria ended his
career in way worthy Of an Emperor.
The above is telegraphed as justice TO
kellogg.

lows: Here follows Carl SchurZ's state
ment published yesterday, that the control

of L. 5. Marshal Packard, and that lie
was an unfit man for the office whom the
President ought TO remOye.l
,. To the Communication of the commit
tee of seventy, through Il. III. Mir, chair
man, to the President of the United States,
under date of Sept. 5, 1874. Here follow,
the resolution and appeal protesting
against placing at the disposal of the AttOr
new General, the United States troops fol-
the purpose of assisting the marshal of this
district, 5. B. Packard, in carrying on pros
ecutions against the people of Louisiana
and requesting Packard's removal from
Office on account of his violent partisan
shin, etc, and then Mr.. Packard continues.
My purpose in calling your attention 1,
these matters is to inquire of you whether
| have ut any time since you have been in
command of the Department of the Gull
used or attempted 10 use or control the
United States troops for political purpose,
in any manner whatever, and also whether
or not you have observed in our official re-

your opinion justices the imputatiOns ana
charges set forth by Senator SchurZ and tn,

in our official relations To Justify the chsrg,
that YOU design TO use the troops for pOliti
cal purposes or have ever done so, and j
Won do desire such use | do not SCI
how YOU are TO use them for any

attempt wobld be promptly and immedI

men, Those who make such charges ar,
totally ignorant of the character Of the reg

attend any attempt to use them for politica

leans:
On the day Of the Penn coup d'etat
when the revOlutiOnists seized the Stat
office, after kellOgg's retreat to the office o.
Marshal Packard, large number of Officia
and private letters were found in the ar
chives of the office and have since been il
possession of the citizens. Among these
letters were a number which passed be-
tween Gov. kellogg and prominent Con,
gresham. 1t has been freely intimatec
that they contain important revelations a
to the manner in which the Louisiana case
was managed in Washington, with a view
to seating Pinchback in the Senate anC
keeping kellogg and his party in power.
The Tribune representative succeeded to
day in seeing the originals and copies o
several of the letters, and some of then
are given herewith.
