NEW ORLENs, Sept 10

NEW ORLENS, Sept 10.
The disturbances at New Orleans
command general attention here,
and are commented on by the press,
The Herald saws if this is the be-
ginning of the strife what may not
be expected as the passions of the
radicals and conservatives, whites
and blacks, become excited by the
shedding of blood and the struggle
for power. The results of the conflict
is yet too early to predict, and the
reports may be exaggerated, but it
seems to be most important and
alarming struggle that has occurred
i'll the south for years.
The Tribune attributes the trouble
to the frightful mismanagement of
affairs in Louisiana under its present
administration. 1t sympathizes
with the people, but is strong
against revolving, and says this is
no time for McEnery to assume
power and undertake to overthrow
the existing government by force.
The World says the troubles are
the result of the pitch of despera-
ton to which the oppression and
mismanagement of the Kellogg
usurpation have brought the people
of Louisiana. 1t takes very strong
groCnds against the party in power
there.
The Times says that the seizure of
arms designed forthc White League
eXosperated the Democrats to a
great degree. Itregards Penn's ac-
ton during McEnery's absence as a
melancholy farce of revolution, and
says 1t may become tragic if PENIS
militia respond to his call and at
tempt to drive the usurpers from
power, as they are directed to do.
The seizure of arms was made I'M
der the well known State laws, and
the revival of McEnery's govern
ment seems to have been the direct
result of an attempt to prevent oath
bound organizations from secretly
arming themselves.
