MIssIssIPPrs ACTING GOVERNOR.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. l6. 1874.
In view OF the sudden rumpus at New Orleans
on Monday I thought I would call at the Ex-
ecutive Office to-day and endeavor 10 ascertain
the drift OF the Governors opinion on the
subject. Governor Ames not to be found,
however, for learned that ne had been non est for
about week, having gone North without leaving
any Information as to his intended destination.
Lieutenant Governor Davis tcolored>, was at the
office and appeared to have some decided views
in reference to the general aspect OF the troubis
in the Crescent city.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DAVIS VIEW.
Said he 81 regard the present condition Of af.
fairs in Louisiana as destructive to the best in
terests of that State and the entire South. am
confident that there has been abuse OF power by
the republican administration in that State, but
these abuses have been greatly magnlfed. They
do not Justify the course OF the White League
and citizens, nor is their course prudent.
They should have relied upon the bal
lot box to put different men in ONCE
and not have subverted the regular government
by the bayonet. am satisfied that 1t Is the duty
OF the general government to sustain the Kellogg
regime in Louisiana, for the reason that unless 1t
does so it WILL am afraid. lead to disorder in all
OF the reconstructed States. Not to sustain the
regularly installed and previously recognized gov

OPINIONS FROM VIRGINIA..

RICHMOND, Sept. 10, 1874
Virginia has not been greatly surprised by the
sudden movement OF the White League az New
Orleans on Monday. For months past the attitude
OF the McEnery party has been sullen and omi
nous, and their previous loud cries to Congress for
dellverance from the expressions and spoliation of
the Kellopg.Casey- Packard faction not being
needed, Their silence was accepted as an eviden Cd
OF some action looking to coup d6tat. What.
ever Governor Kemper and Lieutenant Governor
Withcrs, who are away rusticating, may have to
say cannot pretend to judge but the general
feeling OF the people here in regard to
the matter is that, while they profoundly sympa-
thize with the people engaged In the movement
in New Orleans apprehension exists that evil
rather than good will result from it. They fear
that the exigencies OF the republican party and
the frequent commlttals OF President Grant to the
Kellogg government forbid the hope that Its over.

ment were tolerated In Louisiana why not In
South Carolina, Mississippi and other States SUI

then would become OF the republican party in the
Souths and II the movement were not tolerated
would 1t not be thought necessary to discounte-
nance 1t and prevent its recurrence by fresh
seventies toward the SouthS Win treason not
again be made odiousY
Thoughts such as these seemed to occupy the
minds OF the sober-sded officials with wnom can
versed, At the same time they maintained that
the wrongs and insults that the people OF Louisi-
ana had borne so long with manly forbearance
and fortitude should some what justify their action
in the estimation OF grave and good men every
where, North as we'll as South. They were further

siana until carpet-bag rule got rid OF and the
real people OF the South were allowed to manage
their affairs. This they thought was the all-sunl-
cient and only solvent remedy for tnat and all
other southern troubles.
on the streets and among the merchants the
determination OF the people In New Orleans was
appauded, and the greatest interest was evinced
as to what action the administration would ulti-
matey take In the matter. Many expressed the
belief that, In aiy event. the third term would be
strengthened by the Louisiana case. II General
Grant allows the Penn movement to succeed he
will make the South unit In his election for
third term, and II he restores Kellogg there will
be probably fresh disorders and the Northern re.
pubhcans Will demand q strong and vigorous gov
ernment, with Grant again in the Presidential
chair. There was general exuitation over the de-
feat Of Longstreet VINO mas been very opno xious

cause Of Kellogg. McEnery and Penn being Vir-
giniAns, have the undivided sympathy OF the white

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS VIEWS
WASHINGTON, Sent. 16. 1874.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16, 1874
The Attorney General this evening gave to rep.
resentative OF the National Republican the follow.
ing explanation Of the position OF the administra-
ton upon the Louisiana question:
The sO-called Kellogg government has been es-
tablished and In full operation for about two years.
1t has been repeatedly decided by all the courts OF
Louisiana to be the only legal government OF the
State. 1t has been expressly recognized by
the President and impliedly by Congress.
the President, in a special message, called the
attention OF Congress to the subject, and stated
that if they took nc action he should feel bound to
regard the Kellogg organization as the lawful
government Of the State Congress declined to
legislate about the matter. The question is not
now whether Kellogg or McEnery ought to be
Governor, or whether or not there were frauds
or irregularities about the election but is
Is whether State government that has been
fully organized for nearly two years, and recog-
nized as such by all the departments OF govern.
ment, state and national can be properly over.
thrown by the armed population of a city In which
the seat OF government Is located by means of vo-
lence and bloodshed Admitting all the wrongs
charged upon the Kellogg government, can
these proceedings be permitted to stand rs q
precedent ? Are tie governments Of the states OF
this Union to be determined by pronuncianatentos

not see how this case differs in principle from the
Arkansas case. Brooks claimed that he received
a majority OF the votes at the election, and
have always believed that he did, Baxter,
however, was the duly installed Governor
of the State Of Arkansas. Brooks, relying
upon the claim that he was elected, displaced
Baxter by q coup detdt, but the President refused
to recognize his right to hold the once obtained in
that way. That WAS decision against the repub-
licans and in favor Of the democrats. Following
this precedent do not see how the President can

His course, in my opinion, Will not now be changed
There is not sensible man in the United States

THE SEIZURE OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT

violation and disregard OF all law. Can any rea-
sonaole man expect the President TO become

have never believed that the McEnery ticket
was elected. 1t Is absurd to suppose that when
Virginia and North Carolina and nearly all the
Southern States, including those that are
generally democratic, went ior the Grant
ticket, that Louisiana, the strongest re-
publican State in the South, went for
the Greeley ticket as is pretended, especially
when the candidate for Governor on that ticket
was an unreconstructed rebel colonel. But IL Is
too late to go back 10 that question. The issue
now is between law and order on the one hand
and violence and disorder on the other; and upon
that issue the position OF the President is not
doubtful one.
The New York herald., 1874-09-17

South Carolina ana that the present peaceful tone
OF the people arises from the belief and confidence
that the de Jacto Kellogg government viii be sus-
tanned.
The State oficials say IL would be very haZar-
dous TO remove the troops from here at this stage,
not because there is any present indication OF
violence, but that IL might lead the more turbulent
portion OF the people to believe they might indulge
in violence with impuniry. As matters now stand,
one company, carrying with It, as 1t does, the de-
clared purpose OF the President to protect the
whole people, is worth much as q brigade. Such
is the condition OF public sentiment and feeling
among all. There Tears that from the slightest
cause most painful results might follow. These
Pte'e1ss or causes exist, or may be manufactured
az any moment, and would produce these results,
out Tor the certainty that they would be at once
repressed by federal power. For this reason the
result IL Louisiana is waited with intense N
terest.
SeVefai OK the more prominent conservatives de.
ciareu To-Day that In view Of events in Louisiana,
1t would be bad policy to name any candidate for
Governor. because a contest OF this kind would
certainly give rise TO scenes OF violence and blood
shed IN many parts OF the State besides being
hopeless and conducive only OF evil to the con-
servative people. This sentiment has increased
rapidly within the last few days, and is due in
great measure to the determination OF the ge neral
government to enforce fair, peaceful election.
There are to be seen on every hand symptoms OF
fear among those who .have borne the sobriquet
OF adventures that in the absence Of United
States troops they would be compelled to seek
safer abode and that nothing short Of this per-
sonal violence would atone for sins committed
under the gsrb of political ambition. Several Of
the Congressman have expressed their deter NINA
ton TO unite in demanding OF the President sum-
cient troops for protection should occasion re-
quire and should all those now remaining here be
ordered away. Senator ("Honest JOHNNY Patter.
