Culium, as representative OF the class tnal

doubt, tend TO bring these seemingly eonnict-
ing interests together, and be beneficial TO
both.
The Picayune, commenting on this action,
saws that the people of tAat parish have
agreed upon what promises to be productive
Of the happiest results. Is 1t not probable that

New YORK, September 23.-The Times
correspondent telegrsphs the following from
New Orleans under date Of the twenty
ond: To-day public sentiment has changed
very decidedly, and 1t is now considered not
i'm mprobable that even a more serious conflict
than that of last week may shortly occur.
This morning, when it became generally
known that the committee had been broken
up and no result arrived at, the head men Of
the league took no pains to conceal their feel
ings. Kellogg and United states Marshal
Packard are again denounced as thieves, liars
and uSurpers. secretary Interior cow
an, who Is charged with having been instru- |
mental in breaking up the conference, Is also |
abused in unmeasured terms.
Daring the afternoon the leaders Of the |
White League were constantly in session, and |
IL Is known that many advised a continuation |
OF hOstilities. II they nre on the troops, t0ey |
believe that a military government viii at |
once be established in the State. II Is known |
that the business men and capitalists OF the !
city, who made no secret of having supported |
the movement, are opposed to further fight |
ing, and viii make no additional donations |
to the White League.
"rhere is no evidence that the southern eIe-
ment wishes to molest private citizens, and on /
all sides il is admitted that persona property /
was never more secure. Governor Kellogg |
profe esses to believe that war Of eXtermina-
ton Is to be commenced against the negroes,
but Penn asserts positively that such an idea |
has never been entertained by even the most |
passionate of the White Leagues. During the 1
evening the governor held q consultation with /
Cowan, and the latter telegraphed
TO <. p. Field, attoTney-general. to come to
New Orleans Immediately. tits believed that
he wishes to consult him and then proceed at
once in the preparation of Indictments against
those prominently engoged in riots"
Origin Of the white League.
The New Orleans correspondent of the
Courier-J0urndI, writing on the eighteenth,
says: "Soms gentlemen, members Of his old
co TjDS, as was Informed at the time, waited
upon General LOngstTeet and inquired il he
knew anything Of the cOmmOtion likely TO
Occur on the fourth of July. He replied in
that the rumOr was not true; that
but one company OF militia would parade,
