The Louisiana Troubles.

NEW York, Oct. S.-Charles O'Connor in
letter to-day reviewing the argument Of Rev
crdy johnson on Louisiana, says: ''Thc single
point in issue between Mr.. johnson and my
self is whether an executive error, such as he
says the President committed in sitting the
legitimate voice of Louisiana and placing a
usurper in the chair of State, binds the Presl-
dent himself ana makes him sort Of liegeman
so that willy niy he must thencetorth be
ever ready to come at the call OF the usurper,
and with the whole executive power Of the
Union crush all local opposition. The illegiti-
macy of kcllorc's original claim is asserted by
Mr.. johnson with the concurrence Of nearly
every intelligent and disinterested person hav-
ing any knowledge Of the subject. This should
be kcps in view since much is always gained
in discussion by combining the issue to its
own precise limits. One advantage here is
that it will enable those learned iurists who
may think Kellogg was duly elected to exam
inc, and without the excitement of passion or
partialty, to form an independent opinion con-
cerning Johnson's dogma that executive reso-
luions III such case are rrecovcrablc." Mr..
O'Counor then proceeds to combat Mr.. John
500 5 argument and to show that the President
cau and should reconsider his decision.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE eAzErTE.]


New York, Oct S.-The Tribune has sent
a correspondent to Alabama to investigate the
reports of outragcs on Republicans in that
State. His first letter, dated Montgomery,
October Sd, is published this morning, and
contains the following: II know nothing, per-
sonally, Of the condition of the disturbed coun-
ties. | shall go to them in a day or two, but
as far as have been able to investigate l have
found that the administration Journals and adj
miostration politicians have grossly slandered
the people of this State. The party press on
both sides is very bitter in the controversy, but
the Republican papers are just as denuncatory
of their opponents as those published 10 the
interest of the Democratic party, and 1t is not
true that the latter have advised or do now ad-
wise their friends to resort to intimidation or
violence. The authors Of some of these sland-
ers that arc destroying the credit of the State
and driving away Immigrants, live in this city,
and don't wonder they arc treated with con-
tempt They say they are ostracised, but they
pass through the streets without molestatlon
or insult, and have the word Of high Repub-
Iican officials here that socially and in business
relations honorable men, no matter what their
politics, are treated alike, except by a few
worthless fellows whose society nobody desires.

The LATE Mr.. LAMAR. In noticing the
death of Gazaway B. Lamar, who died 10 New
York, on Monday last, at the age of seventy
six, the Post of that city says: ''At the time
of President Lincoln election he was President
of the Bank of the Republic, in this city, and
dispatched arms to the South during the inter-
val before the outbreak Of the civil war, and as
the financial agent of the Cofederate Govern
ucut he procured here the printing OF their
notes and bonds Soou after the firing on Fort
Sumter he went South to his native city OF Sa-
vannah, and cast his fortunes where his heart
was lie was largely concerned in cotton specu-
latious and blockade running during the war,
and he lost in the Confederate service his only
son, Col. Charles A. l.. Lamar, who was killed
III 1865 Soon after the occupation of Savau-
hah by our army, he was arrested by order OF
the Secretary of War, and confined iu the Old
Capitol Prison at Washington. a few months
after his release he was tried at Savannah by
military commission for attempted bribery of
Government officers, and was convicted and
sentenced to several years Imprisonment and a
very large 6ne but the sentence was RENTED
by President johnson. Of late years he
has been largely interested 10 cotton claims
against the United States, employing General
Benjamin f. Butler as his agent to prosecute
them. 4 few months ago, by an arrangement
between Butler and the Attorney General of
the United States, an appeal was waived or
withdrawn 10 the Court of Claims, in conse-
qucuce OF which Butler collected from the Fed
eral Treasury some six hundred thousand dol
lars for bis client. He was at one time him
self the owner of the celebrated yacht Wan
derer with which Col. Lamar prosecuted the
slave trade, but it is said that the old man was
not in thorough Sympathy with his son on that
subject"
MIR. Lamar married Miss Harriet Cazenove,
sister of Mr.. w. 6. Cazenove, of this city, and
his remains were brought here by express from
New York, this morning, and deposited iu
vault, to be inferred by hers at future day.
The corpse was first taken to the house of Mr..
Cazcuove, were funeral ceremonies were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Bullock of the Presbyter-
ian Church, and thence removed to Mr. Hoot1 5

M1RAaE-Oae Of the most beautiful sights

MIRAaE-Oo Of the most beautiful sights
ever witnessed was the sunrise Of last Tuesday
morning, as viewed from Royal street. As the
sun rose from behind the Maryland hills lifting
the fog, which had filed the valley, before it,
.he river looked as though in the middle OF 1t
there was beautiful island, upon which green
pastures, trees, houses, cattle and people could
be seen, the Maryland shore being distinctly
visible way beyond it. So perfect was the dc;
cepton that stranger would have supposed
the mirage was real island, situated IN the
middle of the river.

INSTALLATION OF A PAsToR.--Rev. DR..
Bullock was, last night, duly Installed Pastor
of the Union Presbyterian Church of this city,
before very large congregation, in the First
PRESBYTERIAN Church, the use OF which has
been given to the new Church for two years.
Rev. DR.. Lefevre presided and preached the
openig sermon, taking for his text the 18th,
10Th, and Goth verses of the 18th chapter of the
Gospel according to St. Matthew "And Jesus
came, and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me 10 heaven and in earth. 60
We therefore and teach all nations, baptising
them in tho name of the Father, and of the
Son, and Of the Holy Ghost Teaching them
TO observe all things whatsoever | have COM
mandcd you: aud 10; | am with you Away,
eren unto the end of the world. Amen
AT the conclusion OF the sermon, which was
mastery effort, and greatly enjoyed, the usu-
al questions to the pastor and people were put,
aud being afirmatiyely answered, Rev. ). j.:
Bullock, D. d., was pronoudced the Pastor of
the Union Presbyterian Church OF Alexandria.
The charge was then delivered to the pastor
by Rev. DR.. White, and a more solemn or
impressive charge has seldom been heard.
When DR.. White had concluded the choir
sang an appropriate hymn, after which,
Rev. Mr.. Murklaud proceeded to deliver
the CQaTgG LO INC COuRIcSolIou upou Wv Wy
of the pew to the pulpit, !" and although the
hour was late when he begun, the services hay.
ing been necessarily protracted, yet the large
audience was held spell bound by the tervid
eloquence OF the gifted speaker, as he told the
people, in language no less pointed than beau
tifui and pathetic of their duty to their revered
pastor.
After Mr. Murkland had concluded, two
verses of the hymn,
GLOW firm foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Hath been laid for your faith in His excellent
Word"
was sung BY the congregation, and tho bcndic-
ton pronounced by Dr. Bullock. :,
The services we're deeply impressive in all
respects and could not fail to leave their im-
press upon the hearts of the most callous
Apart from the truly religious aud deeply
pious character of the dscourses, the lntellec-
tual repast was most enjoyable, and the con-
gregation only regretted when the exercises
closed Few there were, who, on leaving the
Church, did not think that it was good for
them to have been there.
Mr.. Murkland will preach at the Church to-
night, and DR.. White tomorrow night.
