office Of tax-cOllectOr, was installed into
the office by the citizens, who gave three

Informal Cabinet COnsuItatIOn-The
Probable Course to be Pursued.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IL The Presi-
dent did not 90 to Long Branch last night,
owing to the events in Louisiana. A brief
Cabinet meeting was held this forenoon, at
which Secretaries Fish and BriStOw, AttOr-
new General Williams, Postmaster General
Jewell and Acting Secretary Of Interior
| Cowan were present. They discussed the
Louisiana question, and without definite
action adjourned until this afternoon to
| further consider the subject. The cOndi-
tion of affairs in Louisiana being novel and
the first case of the kind where the State
authorities recognized by the PreSi-
dent had been elected by a force of .citi-
Zens and other officers substituted, the
question arises rs To what shall be done by
the Federal power in the present case; in
other words, whether kellogg and his as
sociates shall be re-instated, or whether the
McEnery party shall be permitted 10 retain
possession of the State government. The
subject being Of delicate character, it will
be considered with due deliberatiOn and a
decision reached at the Cabinet meeting
this afternoon. 1t is conceded in official
quarters that the extraordinary proceedings
| i'm Louisiana do not concern that State
alone, but all the United States, rs the re-
| cent proceedings there, if eOuntenanced by
the General Government, might become a
precedent in other sections of the country
10 the detriment Of the entire people, and
might inaugurate 4 system which would
substitute military power for the legal
forms in the conduct of the State admins
tration. Il is believed that measures will
be taken forthwith TO reinstate the kellogg
administration with all the force at the
command of the Government.
The Mail Service.
Brief dispatches have been received at
the executive department, but they contain
nothing new. Senator West and District
Attorney BeckWith, of Louisiana, had an
interview with the President this forenoon
regarding affairs in that State.
