The General Sentiment in Official Circles
i'm Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Prvate kilograms
from New Orleans say that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Penn has called an extra session of the
Legislature
The Cabinet discussed the Louisiana ques-
ton without definite action, and adjourned until
three o'clock this afternoon to further consider
the subject. The condition of affairs in Louisi-
ana being novel, and the first case of the kind
where state authorities, recognized by the
President, have been elected by the force of
citizens and other officers substituted, the
question arises whether Kellogg and his asso-
ciates be reinstalled, or the McEaery party be
permitted to retain possession of the state
government. The subject will be considered
with due deliberation and decision reached
this afternoon.
1t is considered in official quarters that the
extraordinary proceedings in Louisiana do not
concern that state alone, but all states in the
Union, as the recent proceedings there, if
countenanced by the general government,
might become precedent in other sections of
the country, to the detriment of the entire
people, and might inaugurate system which
would substitute military power for legal forms
in the conduct of state administrations. 1t is
believed that measures will be taken forthwith
to reinstats the Kellogg administration.
The Position of the President.
Attorney General Williams tonight, in q
lengthy interview with the representative of
the associated press. said the so called Kellogg
government had been established and in full
operation for about two years. 1t has been re-
peatedly declared by all the courts of Louisiana
the only legal government of the state, and it
has been repeatedly recognized by the Presi-
dent and implied by Congress.
The questions is not now whether Kellogg or
McEnery ought to be governor, but whether o
state government that has been fully organized
nearly two years and recognized as such by all
the departments of the government, state and
natianal, can be properly overthrow by an
armed populace of city in which the seat of
government is located by means of violence and
boodshed Admitting all the wrongs charged
spon the Kellogg government, can these pro-
ceedings be permitted to stand as precedent?
Are the governments of the states of the union
to be determined by proclamations and violent
and bloody outbreaks, as they are in Mexico
and South American? / do not see how this
case differs in principle from the Arkansas
case. Brooks claimed that he received a ma
jority of votes at the election, and l have al
ways believed he did
Baxter, however, was duly installed Governor
of the state Brooks relying on the claim that
he was elected, displaced Baxter by a coup

THE HUMAN BODY -T.ions anI tiro,

The HUMAN BoDY-Lions and tigers,
true to their instincts, may be expected to

soulless brute has been sacrificed But
man has Il higher nature and was intend
Ell for higher mission than one of blood
'outrage, crime, war and murder His
body, SO ''fearfully and wonderfully
made" the casket OF the soul, the intend
cd abode of the Holy Spirit, was not
made for target, was rot made to be
mutilatcd, limb torn from limb by the
cannon ball, the body severed by the
broad-swoT;, the head, the seat OF the i'm
mortal mind, battered and bruised and
manned by the war-club of the say ;ge or
the bludgeoR of the more refined and sci
entitic warrior, or to have its members
scattered rcckiessly on the CORY field in
savage brutality. War is cruelty in
tensiticd, ruthless attck upon the hu-
manities Of our higher being. 1t is bru-
tai in its origiu aud in its spirit. 1t nee
essarlly shocks every sentiment Of the
Godiike within as certainly ~ it mutt

inferior nature i. fearful control over the

a belt his hand was caught between the
belt and pulley, hand torn off and arm
broken in two places above the. elbow,

wound. This was not all. He was
whirled about the shaft with frigh.ful We.

ribs Of his left side, suffering slight scalp
wounds and iaternal injuries, how extern

4 Washington letter to the Courier

is true that they were not often together,

summer, I have known Mrs. Ames
eight years and seen her husband fire.
qucntly during that time. believe they
are now, as they always have been, the
best offriends. Ae: seemed proud of her
talents, and understood that she could
not immune herself at so uncongenial a
place as Harper's Ferry. Mrs. Alncs is
Il hard worker. Without any help from
her husband she for years has supported
herself, both OF her parents, and etsncat
ed yornger sister. Mr.. Amcs was a
clergyman when she, at an early age,
married him. Since the war, Mr.. Ancs
has had perfect infatuation for invest.
ing money at Harper's Ferry. He even
sold fuc residence in fashionable quar-
ter Of New York city and put the pro
cecds in warehouses at the Ferry. Be.
fore the houses were rented the great
freshet floatad them down the Shenando

uilding. Mrs. Ames tried for two years
to live there. but her life was intolervble
Report says that Mr.. Ames has found a
lady at the Ferry who likes the place
and that lie obtained the divorce SC tina,
he could marry again. 1t is more unfor
'unatc for the lady than for him, az di
vorce always leaves something of blight
