The Louisiana Troubles.
Fears of Another Outbreak.
GOV. KELLOGG UNEASY.
New York Herald special.

New Orleans, October, 10. The situation
here is very critical one, and the citizens
look for renewed hostilities at any moment.
Governor Kellogg remains at the State House
guarded by a company of the infantry and
police; he looks careworn and uneasy.
The white leagues are very defiant and
continue their demonstrations almo-t nightly
Notwithstanding the efforts &. their leaGris ~
restrain them.
Several evening papers report that last eve'
ming after the republican primaries closed
radical mob became disorderly in the suburbs
and defed the police, when Col. Arget's ba-
tallion of ''Louisiana's own," an organization
not identified with the white league, but whose
members are enrolled for defence against col
ored lawlessness, marched to the assistance
of the police and aided them to disperse the
rioters and restore order The fact that this
force, which participated with the white
III the events of Sept. ii, were the first to
step to the aid of the police, whom they
fought that memorable day, is quoted as evil
dence that armed whites are enrolled for the
protection of life and property rather than for
aggressive movements.
| learn that there is large immigration of
negroes from Memphis pouring into the up
per parishes of Louisiana to register, and the
State is being colonized by colored men from
Mississippi and Alabama, who are register
ing.
A letter received to day from Madison par
ish, weere at the last election the white and
black vote was nearly equally divided, in
forms one of Governor kellogg's officials the
registry so far records only 2000 white votes
against 2300 blacks. This radical official in
forms mt that most of these negroes come
from Tenn, owing to the terror created by the
Trenton measure, and he asserts the same is
frua al hnrA
Miss. and Ala. He naturally concludes that
the radical vote in the Nov. election will be
larger than it ever has been. This may be
put forth to prepare the people for a radical
victory and to account for the contemplated
frauds by the Kellogg party. My own inves-
tigation however, satisfies me that during the
past year fully 10000 negroes have emigrated
from the States into Louisiana, and if they
vote next month with the Kellogg party they
will carry the State.
McEnery, Mari and other leaders of The
conservatives are conveniently absent from
the city. Marr, who left Thursday assured
me that he and McEnery were opposed to the
demonstration made by the hot headed
youths who so galantly carried Kelloggs
citadel on the Hth, but finding they were so
exasperated by the seizure of arms by the
metropoltans that there was certainty of war
and a likelihood of eXcesses, he and other
leaders decided to step to the front and con-
troll then. And thus he says what might have
cventuated in mob, the assassination of
Kellogg, Longstreet and other Objectionable
radicals, and the burning of their houses,
was by wise counsel made quiet revolution.
had an interview with prominent gentle
man who was instrumental in founding the
league, and in answer to question whether
the league could restrain its members in the
h.. tai k.l,.,
in the rural districts could not be controlled
by the conservave whites in the city.
He declared in substance that the moment
the United States forces entered the parishes
to arrest alleged offenders the White Leagues
would attack the United States forces and
give General Grant an opportunity to concen-
trate in this State the entire army of the
United States ''We in the city," said he,
care more conservative and do not expect a
conflict with the United States troops; but,
| Sir. the moment the Federal troops are with
drawn we will give Kellogg hell, as we gave
it TO him in twenty minutes, few days ago."
The 70 lowing is the oath or affirmation of
the White League:
Il, A. B., do hereby solemnly swear before
God and in the presence of the witnesses here
present that will support the constitution of
the United States and of the State of Louisi-
dhd anu thS laws thauc thcieol,
and that will implicitly obey the orders of
my superior officers of the White Protective
League and zealouely guard any instructions,
orders or information confided to me as a
member of this body, SO help me God"
Times New Orleans special:
At a meeting of the Advisory Board this
evening considerable discussion arose rela
tive to a statement made by one of the men,
bers that extraordinary and illegal difficulties
were being placed in the way of naturalized
citizens desiring to register. The following
was finally adopted:
Resolved, That where Supervisors of Reg
istration refuse to register naturalized citi-
zens on the ground that their naturalization
papers are fraudulent, it is their duty to cause
the immediate arrest and prosecution of such
applicants, and to at once fill such papers in
proper event to be used as evidence In no
other case, however, shall papers be with
held.
