ANDREW GILL ONCE MoRE.-A gentleman
OF Appomattox sends us the original Of Il
letter written to him by the aboy-aamed
negro desperate, which is very refreshing
reading. After leaving this vicinity, he
changed his name 10 that of William \.
Richards, and writes TO our correspondent.
dating his letter Washington City, Fchru-
AIRY 49," In this letter lie says he does no,
blame his "friend" for trying to effect his
capture; that he will "see" the men in
that neighborhood who led the Lyuchburg
police on their late unsuccessful chase after
him; that he has two brothers worth $4,000
each; and that lie intends to show every
body that he has as much right in Appomat-
fox or Lynchburg as any other man. He
says, further, that he is about leaving Wash
ington for Richmond, and speaks very def
antly throughout.
OF course, nobody believes the letter was
written in Washington, but there is reason
10 believe that Gill is still in the neighbour
hood Of Spout Spring, aud it is by no means
improbable that he will shortly afford our
police little amusement by dcfying them
here In the city. He would have made Il
good companion for Captain Jack, of Alodoc
fame, and will doubtless die similar death.
At all events, somebody cusht u capture
him. But who will undertake it:-Lynch-

THE McEneryites, who now have tenn
porary control Of the State government of
Louisiana, have significantly ignored an
opportunity afforded them to prove the
truth of their protestations of regard for
the black race. II will be remembered
that McEnery and his fellow-rebels were
''elected" on what was known as the Fusion
ticket Their candidate for Secretary Of
State was a colored man named Armstead.
If any of them were elected he certainly
was, for he did not .'run behind histicket, "
except in a few localities where the White
Leagues had not been thoroughly f'fnsed'
with the spirit Of Greeleyism which then
prevailed. Now that they are temporarily
in power, however, they have seemingly
forgotten his existence, as is proven by the
following extract from special dispatch to
the New York Tribune:
"Armstead, the negro candidate for Seere-
tary Of stste on the McEnery and Penn ticket,
declared elected by the fusion boards; has. not
been called upon to discharge the duties Of his
Office under the new regime. His place is
filed by E. ]. Ellis, white lawyer
This significant paragraph speaks vol
umes. Ii shows that the ambition of these
miscreants to erect white Mans Gov
eminent OEershadoWs every just claim Of
the black race to recognition, and discloses
them in their true light as selfish reVOlu-
tiOnists.

SOME of the depositors in the Freed
mems Carvings and Trust Company do not
appear to comprehend the fact that the
sction of the trustees in placing the Affairs
of that institution in the hands Of the CON-
missioners acted from compulsion rather
than choice. The restrictions placed upon
its method Of transacting business by the
resolution of Congress rendered 1t impOssi-
bic to continue, and they were obliged I'M
der the law to select commissioners towind
up the concern. The resolution referred
to prohibited the use Of the funds received
from future depositors for the purpose Of
paying the maturing obligations Of the
company, but specifically prescribed the
manner Of their investment No bank
could 20 forward under such restrictions.
The company did not go into liquidation
because of insolvency, but because that its
resources, present and prospective, were so
tied up by Congress as to prevent the pay
ment of those who wished to withdraw
their funds when their notices to that effect
had expired For this condition of affairs
neither the trustees nor commissioners are
to be blamed. The responsibility rests
alone with Congress

REGISTRATION IN LOUISIANA
One Of the main points on which the
McEneytes rely to prove their charges of
uSurpation Of power against Governor KEEL
logg is that he intended, under existing
laws Of the State, to appoint registration
clerks for the ensuing election, In the in
terest of the Republican party. The laws
referred to vest in the Governor the author
ity for these appointments, and when the
Fusionisis were in power, they did not
hesitate to use that authority in the most
arbitrary manner for their own benefit.
They refused to allow the Republicans to
have any voice in the matter, and very
naturally might have expected similar
treatment in return. But whether they
expected If or not, they now assert that
Kellogg is disposed to treat them as they
treated him. We hear Of this in every con-
eeivable form, as a threat from Kellogg, as
proof Of his selfshness and of his design to
elect the Republican ticket at the ensuing
election by fraud in the registration or by
other equally disreputable means. In short,
as we have said, this is the main point on
which the Fusion rebels now rely to sus-
tain themselves in their opposition to the
legal government of the State.
Let us see how truthful this charge really
is On the 18th of August last, Nj. Albert
VOORHEES,, chairman of conference CON-
mittee, appointed by the Democratic State
Central Committee of Louisiana, addressed
a note to the Governor, claiming, in behalf
of the Democratic party, San equal repre-
"sentation on the list of officers of registra-
ton He made the claim ''for the pur-
pose of insuring fair election in Novem-
Der next, and suggested that the ''offi.
"cers conceded to the Opposition should
"be appointed from lists of names sug-
"gested by the Parish Central Democratic
Committees, respectively. In reply TO
this note, Gov. Kellogg wrote long letter,
reviewing the situation in detail, and ar
raigning the Democratic party for its or
ganization 'of leagues to intiniidate and
disfanchise Republican voters. and to
prevent their exercising the rights
(which the Constitution and laws of
the State and the United States have
conferred upon them. He finally &C
ceded to the request Of Mr.. Voorhees, and
the New Orleans Picayane, the recognized
organ of the White Leagues, commenting
on this concession, remarked that: with
single exception meaning the arraign
ment Of the Democratic paFty-"we like
the matter Of Governor Kellogg's letter
q TO the Democratic committee II adds:
IF we are to be represented at each regis
"trstion Office by clerk. appointed by the
State. and a supervisor appointed BY the
District Court, and subsequently, at each
Of the polling places, by an equal number
'sof commissioners, II seems reasonable to
presume that fair and satisfactory result
win ensue.
No palmer vindication Of Gov. Kellogg
from the charge TO which we aIlude can be
required than this, and when It is remcm-
Bered that al Of the charges trumped up
against him have as little foundation in
truth, the enornity Of the falsehOods which
60 to make up the basis Of the MeEnery
conspiracy will be realized.

dueed fully one third. The same paper
esser,s that he small revenue CLEANED from
the impoverished people has been diverted
to improper uses No more fragrant
hisehood than, this could have been writ
ten. and. appearing as II did in the col
umns Of pretended Republican newspa
per- is calculated to do great harm. The
State treasurer has on deposit, subject to
the cali of Northern bOndholders three
quarters Of million OF dollars. thelegiti-
mate interest on the State debt has been paid,
and. in short, the financial condition of the
State has never been better since the close
Of the war saa
The TTmss adds that Kellogg intended at
the ensuing electionto appoint Republicans
only as registers. This is also most in
famous falsehcod. as arrangements were in
process Of completion when the disturbance
began by which the Opposition would have
been entitled to and would have secured
the appointment Of one member Of each
board of registration. This arrangement
was the result Of Governor KeIlogg's per-
sonal offer to his political enemies, and
marks striking comparison with the man
ner in which they treated him and his
friends at the last State election, when they
refused to allow Republicans to have any
voice in the registration, But it is labor in
vain to attempt to correct all Of the ignor-
ant blundeTs of the Times. Never before
in its history, since it unfortunately fell
into the control of its present management
has it SO completely stnltifed itself as a
party journal, or so completely yielded
itself into the hands Of the enemies of peace
and order. The fragrant misrepresenta-
tons Of the White League organs Of the
South are not more directly calculated to
deceive the people. to destroy confidence in
the Government and to cast discredit upon
the acts of the Administration A few
more such criminal blunders as this and
the Times wiIdoease to be recognized as
journal entitled TO the slightest respect or
the confidence Of respectable Republicans.

SUPPOSE the General Government had
been in the hands Of the Democracy when
the riots broke out in New Orleans The
bare idea makes one shudder. The Nc
Emery rebels would have been recognized;
the Colfax massacre and the Coushatta
murders would have been repeated, and
the highways and byways leading to loyal
Northern settlements would have been
crowded ere this with refugees fleeing
from the wrath of the White Leagues
Hundreds Of thousands of negroes would
have been sacrificed, and the property of
Republicans Of both colors would have been
destroyed. Anarchy would have reigned
supreme in nearly half the settled territory
Of the Union.

A GREAT many courageous people who
enjoy the New Orleans difficulties at safe
distance, and witness them through the
columns of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
are inclined 10 find fault with Governor
Kellogg for what they call ''deserting his
post As We have already explained, we
have heard only Of the successes of the
rebels and but little of their excuses. Per
haps, when the truth is known, it viii be
discovered that the Governor was justified
in seeking refuge in the custom house. 1t
is certain that his handful of militia men
and metropolitan police were not sufficient
y strong to cope with eight thousand we'll
armed, wen disciplined and well-drilledex -
Confederate soldiers, under command of
White League chiefiains.

The question now before the Govern
ment and the people Of this country is not
as to the relative merits of the Kellogg and
MoEnery State governments of Louisiana,
