much as the Constitution Of the State

The Legislature then elected will have 1t
in their power to remove any or all ex-
tsting State officials and supply their
places by men OF their own choice.

KELLOGG IN POSSESSION.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 10-Gov. Kel.
logg and such other State officers as arc
now in the city went down to the State
House at 10 o'clock this morning, and the
military authorities formally delivered
the possession OF the building to them and
furnished a military guard. The Secre-
tary ol State, Speaker of the House,
Lieutenant Governor and Attorney Gen.
eral are somewhere North, and 1t is un-
derstood Governor Kellogg has tele-
graphed for them TO come back at once.
he has also telegraphed to the mem
bers OF Congress, who are all absent from
the State except Congressman Smith, re-
questing them to return at once to their
respective constituencies.
Governor Kellogg yesterday sent the
following to Congressman Sypher and
Senator West:
see by Western papers that you have
severely criticised my leaving the State
House. l lett on Monday at the earnest
solicitation Of all our friends. The Lieu
tenant Governor and Speaker being alb
sent from the State, an accident 10 me
they felt would have made complications
desperate.
There were none but Colored militia in
the State House, and had they made any
resistance they would have been burned
out and massacred, the building being en-.
tirely indetensible. If our friends will
come here and help US We will be very
glad.
THE METROPOLITAN.
It Is understood that of the six hundred
Metropolitans on duty last Monday only
two hundred and fifty could be mustered
today TO relieve Boylan's men. The
Kellogg party offered as compromise 10
allow Boylan to remain as Chiet OF Police,
but Boylan declined the position unless
control OF the force was remitted TO the
city. Colonel Baldy, Of the old Metropol.
itans, has taken charge OF the stations.
Only few Metropohtans ore on the
streets tonight.
When Kellogg reached the Executive
Office this morning General Brooke sp-
preached the Governor and informed him
that he was prepared to turn over to him
the State House and all records and pub
lie property belonging to the State which
had come into his possession at the time
OF the surrender Of the insurgents TO his
command. Everything, the GencraLsaid,
would be found in precisely the same
condition as it came into his hands. The
Governor accepted the transfer, and Gen.
Brooke thereupon Immediately retired.
