There is an appeal, put forth in tho language
and tone Of a domaud by some Bolf.coustituted
committoos In Now Orleans, tint tho troops bo
removed from Louisiana. For whas purpose
should they DO removed Six weeks ago thoro
we're no troops in Louisiana, and tho etate WAS
aa FREQ from military Interference as ia illinois,
An armod rebellion suddenly seized the Govern
mont OF that S!ato, deposed all tho general and
local olcors, and installed now force In all tho
departments. Troops woro sent to tho State and
tho Government restored. Admitting that Kel-
logg was novor legally eleoted, mud that bis ILL.,
stallation in January, 1873, was An usurpation,
IT will not bo questioned by any porson tint the
President could do anything else than to rostoro
him and suppress tho insurrection. Upon TINT
point thcro is now no difference OF opinion. The
fact that there aro troops in Louisiana at all ut
this time is duo to that rebellion, to the over
throw OF tho State Government by tho armed
and organized mob Of Louisiana. Now that
tile troops are there, they had hestor stay
there until such time ~ the peace OF tue
State is established. According to tho reports
the Democrats havo elected majority Of the
Legislature and Of tho local officers and are aub
Btantlally in control Of tho Government. The
troops will not hurt them, unless they undertake.
to take things that don't belong to them
