TIE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA.

THE POLICY OF THE KELLOGG PARTY.
ENDEAvORs TO DRIVE THE PEOPLE TO DEsPEhA-
TION-THE CONSERVATIVES CoUNsELING FOR
BEARANCE-NO ORGANIZED HOSTILE MOVEMENT
TO BE MADE-BAD FAITH OF THE REPUBLICANS
IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPRoMIsE-A FAIR
AND PEACEABLE ELECTION SOUGHT BY THE
CONSERVATIVES.
NEW. ORLEANS Oct T-District-Attorney Beck
with stated in conversation last night that tne
limited States Government would not appear in any
proceedings against the leaders OF the revolution OF
Sept A. but that if the State authorities attempted
to make any arrests and were unable to DO SO, hel
loggs call for Federal assistance would doubtless
be promptly complied with.
This is all that is definitely known ouslde OF WASH
ington and the Custon-house as to the purpose OF
the Federal or State Government IN this matter Dut
the community is kept constantly excited by ru-
mors that Kellogg will resort to extreme measures
and will be supported by the Army and navy, as
well as by the machinery of the United States
Courts. Such rumors gain plausibility from
the occurrences of the last few days in
Red River, and in the sending of cavalry to St.
MartDsville with Instructions 10 assist the marshals
in executing writs, the nature OF winch Is not
known. The Republicans neither deny nor confirm
the rumors their policy apparently being TO worry
the people into some demonstration out OF whleh
political capital can be made.
On the other hand, certain Conservatives are
playing into the hands of their enemies, by crcuiat
ing every wild report coming from haneers-on
of the Custom-house, and by Infammatory
appeals TO the public, calling for resistance
10 outrageous proceedings that b have not
vet occurred, although they may have been
foreshadowed A plan for an indignation meeting,
in view of the arrests IN Red RIVER was TO-DAY
wisely oyerTuled premature until all the Iacts are
known. The most prominent members oi tne
White League, as well as other influential ConserV-
atives are earnestly cOunsellng the people 10 pa
tience, foIbeaIapce and a conceh'rauop VI al
their energies upon the work of the pollt'cai cam
paign. At present it seems that this adVlce VIII
prevail Nothing but deliberate and persistent at-
tempt Of the Kellogg party TO inhane the Puohc
temper can bring on a disturbance before the
elections After that the question OF peace or war
will depend upon the deposition OF the same party
TO have the returns fairly counted
The dissolution of the Advisory Board appointed
nnder the so-caIed compromise must have been
antioipated by the readers of THE TRIBUNE. The
Republcans never intended that 1t should
accomplish anything and ignored the spirit
of the COMPROMISE, while the Conservatives
generally gave it a half-hearted support
The termination of the conference, which was pre-
meditated by the Republicans at least, has only
cleared the field Of a good deal Of rubbish. The
Kellogg party must now assume just responsible
ity for the conduct of the election
Gov McEnery, Lieut.. Gov. Penn andG Gen. Ogden
Commander of the McEnery Militia, which en-
braces the white leagues, are unanimous IN the
determination that there shall be organized re-
sistance to any proceedings, however
severe, that may be instituted by :. the
Kellogg party through the State OF
Federal Courts. Gov. Penn informed The TRIBUNE
correspondent tonight that patience would be exer-
csed to the utmost limit and that all the efforts OF
the Conservatives would be directed toward having
fair and peaceable election, and failing IN that
Louisiana would go before Congress again for
redress.
