New ORLEANS, Sept. 5.--The Demo-
cratic and Conservative State Central
Committee of Louisiana have issued an
address to the people of the State, in
which, after reciting TIE usurpation by
the Kellogg State Government and the
wrongs and outrages inflicted by the
Government On the people, they declare
that all this has not been able to force
the people into revolution. and that all
stories circulated to that effect are falsi-
fications of Kellogg and his partisaEs;
or when outrages have occurred they
have melted them for the purpose of
getting United States troops sent into
the State, not to protect the people
against outrages, but to control the
pending election. The address declares
that the people Of Louisiana do not OBJ
ject to the u s troops being stationed
in the State, as 1t is component part
of the United States, but they protest
against their being under the control of
the U. S. Marshal, who is chairman of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee, and the U. S. District Attorney, one
of the leaders of the party in the State,
to be used to overawe tie people in the
coming election, and as means of po-
litical persecution. The address declares
that the opponents of Kellogs's usurpa-
ton lave never questioned the political
rights of the cGlored people, but have
expressly pleged themselves to maintain
those rights; that the local disturbanc-
es which have occurred did not spring
from any spirit of hostility to the col
ored people. but were unavoidable out
breaks, arising from a state of oppres-
sion and tyranny, and conclude with an
appeal to their fellow citizens of the
Union for hearing.
