PENN'S STATEMENT.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept IS, 1874.
Lieutenant Governor Penn makes the following
statement relative to the State government:-The
two governments have been organized since 1872.
There was meeting of the McEnery Legislature
last season. In every respect therefore, the
status OF the de JactO and de jure governments
was maintained. The troops engaged on the 14th
inst, instead Of being insurgents styled in the
Presidents proclamation, were the militia OF the
McEnery government, duly commissioned. They
overthrow and drove from the soil Of the State the
officers Of the de Jacto government, establishing
the McEnery as de JactO as well as
de j1re government. Under the strict
letter OF the law Kellogg could not call
upon the United States to interfere, he and his
government being out of the State and unable at
the time OF his application to maintain himself on
Louisiana soil, but refugee in the Custom House.
The proclamation OF the President has been
obeyed, while the United States forces are in pos.
session of the archives and property OF the State.
The McEnery government is still organized, and is
sensiDly deprived of Its de Jdcto functions by the
power and authority of the United States. The
McEnery government can assert, and its power
will be obeyed throughout the State The Kellogg
government can be reinstated by the United
States forces but can only maintain Itself through
that power.
Penn then asks "Is this the republican form of
government guaranteed to every State under the
constitutions"

GOVERNOR KEMPERs VIEWS.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept Is, 1874.
Your correspondent yesterday waited upon Gov
ernor James l.. Kemper, and in response to the
general inquiry as to wnat his opinion was OF the
late revolutionary movement in New Orleans he
said 1T is the atrociOus system Of misrue forced
on the unwilling people OF some OF the Southern
states which has subjected virtue and intelligence
to the rule OF vice and ignorance; which has put
the Tree born and educated classes under the
dominion OF their late slaves, led on by miscreant
adventurers, compared with whom the negro is as
Hyperion to q satyr; which has paralyzed the In.
dustry OF whole communities and given them up
to be pillaged and sacked by the most daring pun
derers and thieves America ever produced, and
which constitutes q black and damning stain on
the civilization OF the nineteenth century. 1t has
wrought out Its logical results at New Or
leans. The flesh will quiver as the pincers
tear. The South can never recover and the North
can never prosper as long as the power OF the
common government upholds those who trespass
and plundcr the section which produces the
chief exports OF the country. The negro
ought not to be blamed, for he rarely CON-
mts wrongs except such as partisan synd-

MORTON ON LOUISIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Sept. Is, 1874
Senator Morton addressed an immense audience
at Masonic Hail tonight upon the past and present
condition of the South He spoke earnestly and
calmly, and his remarks were frequently ap-
plauded. He opened by contradctng the asser-
tion that reconstruction was q failure, claim.
ing that It's apparent failure was due to the
conduct Of its enemies, and not because Of
intrinsic detects IN the system. Resistance to re-
construction grows cut OF opposition to the abol-
tion OF slavery and the elevation of the negroes to
civil and political rights He condemned the white
leagues, which, he said had but a single prnci
ple-that white men should rule. In the majority
OF the Southern states there has been a high car
nival Of crime for the past two months, out

the Northern public. The news agents In the
South are, with few exceptions, democrats and
sympatnizers with these crimes. sometimes par

gies and justifcations. The telegraph Is

Colonel McEnery, almost to a man, desire
to ignore them. I am willing, and have
offered to give to my opponents every possible
safeguard against fraud in the coming cleo
ton.
Even the Shreveport Times, the ablest and
most malignant exponent of the views of the
opposition, in recent issue admitted that
registration had been exceptionally fair as far
as it had gone and on Saturday night the
State Registrar made up his returns of
registration to date, and found that in the
city of New Orleans, where the opposition
claim to have a majority sufficient to wipe
out an admitted large republican majority in
the country parishes, more than half the
qualified voters had been registered, and the
republicans were ahead.
In this fact alone you have a sufficient ex-
planation of the so-called uprising of the
people on Monday last, and the So
called negro riots in the country
parishes, which have simultaneously
been reported. If we can have
a peaceable election in November next, the
result will show most conclusively, think,
that McEnery was not elected to the Office to
which he makes such persistent claim.

NEW ORLEANS, sept. 10, 1879
JEMEs GORDON BENNETT, EDITOR OF THE HER
S1R-In reply to your despatch of this date
inquiring if I would be willing to resign if
McEnery would resign also and abide the re-
suit of new election, I have to say,
6rst, that McEnery is q defeated candidate for
the Office of Governor of this State, and has
nothing to resign; secondly, that no new
election is needed, inasmuch as the
constitution of the State provides for
an election for members of the Legis-
nature early in November next and the
Legislature that may be then elected will have
1t within their power to remove any or all the
existing State officials and supply their places
by men of their own choice.
The constituency I represent is largely
composed of colored men. 1t was by their
votes chiefly that was elected to the Office
now hold. For two years have administered
the government of the State with sole desire
to place its finances on O sound footing to
develop its internal resources and to secure
to the colored people the full and free enjoy
ment of the rights conferred upon them by
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to
the constitution of the United States.
In spite of the apparently almost insuper-
able obstacles which have beset the present
State government at every point, we
have reduced expenditures and taxation,
limited the debt both of State and
city, limited the rate of taxation,
and provided by constitutional amend
ment against all possibility of in
creased burdens being placed upon the peo-
pie. The last democratic Legislature that
assembled in this State, of which Nc
Emery was prominent member, ex-
ceeded its revenues by S13,00O,0O
and left the succeeding republican admins
tration to provide the means Of payment
My opponents have adopted the plan of
venting upon me individually all the hatred
they bear to the principles Of the party
represent.
Borne down almost by the responsibilities
of my position and by the accumulated
weight of obloquy thrust upon me,
have repeatedly said, if the repub-
lican party believed my resignation
would establish peace and secure
from the opponents Of the republican
party o recognition of the rights of the COL
ored people under the constitutional amend
ments, and would gladly divest myself OF an
Office which / had not sought and had most
reluctantly allowed myself to be nomi-
mated for The obvious reply to these
propositions has been that if 1 were to resign
the duties of the executive Office would de-
volve upon Lieutenant Governor Antoine,
and he would be no more acceptable to the
opposition than myself, and the colored peo-

No specific charge of wrong doing has ever
been made against me and sustained by proof

alites which, when reduced to actual
facts, will be found to amount
simply to this-that the administration

the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments into
practical effect: and the supporters of
