support to re-establish the State govern
mcnt. His chief of police was shot,
and next in command also, and the whole
force utterly dispersed and hidden away
out of sight. For one OF them to have
attempted to stand on his beat would
have been certain destruction, and even
now the State authorities represented by
Governor Kellogg have asked to defer
taking charge for the present"
No Further Int tructions at Present.

New YORK, September lS.-Ths Times
special from New Orleans reports an in

United States troops some months ago.
A. soon as they were gone these men

election. The registration was perfectly
fair. The appeal for troops was according

the end of August, to patrol the parishes,
with the avowed object Of soaring the
colored men so badly that they would be
afraid to register their names, and SO
lose their vote. | gave perfectly fair
registration. Marshal Parkard appoint
ed the Supervisors, they nominated, and
every delegate would cast his vote. They
had fair play themselves but they would
not give it to others. They just want the
offices and that is the meaning ofthis

muddle headed for that / have reduced
the taxation by one-half since
came into Office have done every
thing that could with honor to concili-

their accusations, is clearer than their

the city are in their hands. The Mayor and
