The Kellogg government has been
overthrOwn and the entire city is in
the hands of his opponent, Lieut.
Gov. Penn, who was elected in 1872,
and who will at once install in office
all those elected at the same time.
Tho courts will at once be organic
ed and the entire machinery of gov
eminent set in motion, not only in
the city but throughout the state.
New Orleans, Sept. 15.-At 81.
NJ, in response to notice signed by
the comInittee of the Canal street
citizens assembled on St. Charles
street, and preceded by band of
music escorted Lieut.. Gov. Penn
from his residence to the state
house, where he took possession of
the executive departments which
were unoccupied. In this move
ment at least ten thousand persons
participated, and tho lieutenant
governor was received with enthu-
siastic demonstrations of approval
along the route. About 2 p. NJ.
some 5000 of Gen. Ogden's militia,
armed with the captured guns,
moved from Jackson square en-
route for the armory on Carondelet
street. AS they passed the custom
house the United States troops sta
toned there gathered in the win
dows, and taking off their hats,
gave three hearty cheers for the
citizens, which was returned by the
militia with great unanimity. With
the exception of the sentinel in
front of the custom house, not an
armed man is to he seen in the
streets of the city, and quiet pre-
walls throughout. Albert NJ. eau
tier was among the citizens killed
yesterday and Samuel i. Newman,
Jr., has since died of a wound re-
ceived. The funerals this afternoon
of citizens killed yesterday were
largely attended, but there was no
unusual display. A dispatch has
been sent to President Grant re-
questing him to recognize the Me-
Emery and Penn government,
which is in quiet aud peaceabie
possession of this city and state.
Penn informed the President by
telegram of his successful overthrow
of the State government, and asked
him to withhold aid from Kellogg.
Governor Kellogg telegraphed the
President, asking for aid. The Presi-
dent has issued proclamation COM
mandlng. the turbulent and disorderly
mob to dispurse and return peacefully
to their homes within five days.
The President, in conversation to-
day, expressed his surprise at the con-
duct of the opponets of the Kellogg
government in resortfng to arms to
maintain their political position, or, in
other words, inaugurat!ng civil war.
He had to many citizens of Louisiana
expressed kindly disposition toward
the people, and hoped for better things,
but it seemed they had misjudged; that
prompt measures would suppress furth-
er disturbances, and similar course
would have saved the country from
the late civil war.
After signing the proclamation the
president himself wrote two military
orders, addressed to commanders, say
ing that they must protect life and
preserve the peace to the best of their
| ability. All orders to be issued by
them must be submitted to the proper
military authorities for approval.
Troops will be sent to New Orleans in
such numbers as may be required as
the president is determined to save life
and preserve the peace.
There will undoubtedly be more
troubel in New Orleans before this
matter ends.
