THE LOUISIANA TROUBLE.
Various Rumors and Beperis.

NEW YORK, Sept pa New Orleans de-
| spatch to the Times states that public feeling
onanged very decidedly yesterday, and it is not
!inpIopaple now that a more serious conflict
yuan mat OF last week may occur. The an
| houhcement that the conference had broken off
Wi.noue any result, apparently removed all
| restraint from the younger members
| OF the White League, and Kellogg and his
| Drother officials, as well as Secretary Cowen,
are openly denounced on the streets. Many
ieauihg members of the League, knowing of the
leeing and being unwilling to be br0ught~in
counict with the general government have re-
signed and many business men and capitalists
VINO supported the movement but are opposed
10 further fighting, will make no additional do
NATIONS to the League.
Some Republicans profess to believe that at
LACKS VIII be made upon the unprotected viii
iages, lnhabit eddy negroes and northern people,
out oislnterested observers cannot believe that
such is the case. There is no evidence that the
southern element wishes to modest private cit-
zens, and on all sides it is admitted that per-
present.
Gov: Kellogg believes that a war Of exter.
mlnatlon will be waged on the negroes, but
mi. fenn says that suchlan idea was never en-
Ihe negroes insulted a white girl in horse
car, yesterday, and the Bulletin says, eff the
autnorites cannot keep these negroes in check
we Doth can and will, and warn them now that
unless they move promptly an example will be
made that will eff1ctuaily prevent a recurrence
OF these outrages."
scores OF wild young men have sworn to take
heiiogg lie, and were anything to happen TO
MIN at the present juncture, military rule
Wouiu nave TO follow, as neither the Liet. Gov
secretary OF State nor Speaker of the House,
VINO are his lawful successors, have yet returned
to New Orleans
Last evening the Chief of Police, having been
informed OF the threatening movements of the
Whlte Leages, communicated with Gen, Pen.
nypacker. commander of the forces here Dur
ing the consultation he stated that from infor-
nation he had received he believed further
ri0tlDg might be expected within day or two
and requested the General to hold his men in
readiness to assist in quelling disturbances
The commander stated subsequently that while
he did not for moment believe the people to
be so mad as to make an attack on the Stare
House or Gov. while there was so large force
of soldiers in the city, he thought it advisable to
comply with the request of the police depart
ment.
Two more soops of war are expected at New
Orleans to-day. A tug with powder and shell
for the monitor arrived last evening. Seven
companies of the 22nd infantry have been Or
dered into camp five miles from the city.
Late last night the White League was again
in session, and it is understood that it was de-
cided to use every effort to increase the men,
bership. At a late hour Capt Hay, aid-de
camp to Gen. Emory, waited upon Gov. KEEL
logg, and was requested by HIM to inform the
General of the movements of the League and
ask him to keep forces in readiness for imme-
date action During the evening the Govern
or also held consultation with Secretary
Cowen and discussed the advsability of prose-
cutting the leaders of last Mondays fight for
treason. The Governor afterwards telegraphed
to A. p Field, Attorney General, asking him
to come to New Orleans Immediately. 1t is
believed that he wishes to consult him and
then proceed at once in the preparation of an
.Ast~
During the night the following despatch as
received by U. S. Marshal Packard, signed by
State Senator Weber:
Bayou Sara, Sept 22-Ths whites are again
under arms here and patrolng without author
ty. Some are disguised and are going in the
country to kill negroes. Troops alone can
quiet them.
And at later hour the following was re-
ceived:
Bayou Sara, 10 D. MA movement is on
foot here by the White League to renew the
troubles of the past week. They are arming
and will move on US here or proceed to East
Feliciana The Leaguers are thirsty for
blood.
Troops will probably be sent to the points in
dictated.
The Tribune's New Orleans despatch states
that the reported determination of Kellogg to
arrest and try the leaders of the late riots und-
er the state laws. caused great excitement, and
it was believed tnat any attempt to carry out
such determination will result in bloodshed
and armed resistance. The army officers OPP
pose such proceeding as bad faith towards the
surrendered party. The threatened search Of
private houses for aliegsd missing state arms
will be resisted unless the search is made by
United States officers. Messrs McEnery and
Penn will issue a circular to-day urging all
citizens to return any state arms in their pos
session.
