NEW ORLEANS. September IS.
There are 10 movements this morn
ing. General Brooke occupies the
executive Office. Major Witt had a
consultation with him relative to re-
establishing the municipal courts, and
on other matters pertaining to the
police department, preservation of
order, &c. A meeting Of the cabinet
instructions to General Emory
no Military Government.
WASHINGTON, September l-At
10 O'Clock TODAY the Cabin met
and were in consultation unui after
I'm. The course Of General Emory
was discussed during the session.
Some Of the members were of the
opinion that this officer entirely ex-
ceeded his authority, and the express
orders sent him under no circumstan-
ees to recognize the Penn govern
ment. 1t was held that the very
fact OF the acceptance of a surrender
carried with il priml faeie recogni-
ton Of the insurgents as a govern
meBt. Again, it was declared that
20 formal surrender on condition
should have been tolerated, but that
the proper course would have been
on the part Of the commanding Gen
eral at New Orleans to have declined
any overture short of a vacation
without terms to the military. After
over two hours consultation the
President directed the following des-
patch to be zen to General Emory
at New Orleans:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFEICE,
WASHINGTON Sep 18th, 1874.
l am directed by the President to
say that your acts to this date, so far
ashley have been reported and receiv-
ed officially, are approved, except SO
fur as they named Colonel Brooke TO
command the city of New Orleans. 1t
would have been better to have nam
ed him as commander Of the United
States forces now in that city. The
State Government now existing at
the time Of the beginning Of the pres
ent insurrectionary movement must
be recognized as the lawful govern
ment until some other government
can be legally supplied. Upon the
surrender Of the insurgents, you will
inform Governor Kellogg of the fact,
and give him the necessary support
to re- stablish the authority of the
State government. If at the end Of
Eve days, given in the proclamation
Of the 18th instant, there still exists
any resistance to the authority Of the
State, You win summon a surrender
Of the insurgents. If tae surrender
is not quietly submitted to it must
be enforced at all hazards. This be-
ing an instruction againssthe State
Government of Louisiana, to aid in
suppression Of which the United
| States Government has been called
upon in the forms required by the
| Constitution and laws Of Congress
hereunder, it is not the province Of
the United States authorities to make
terms with such parties engaged iq
instruction.
