KEIIoaG's PERSONAL CONDUCT
Yesterday received most severe and unqualified
condemnation. His dcsertiOn OF his proper post
WAS charac erized as cowardly, and 1t was agreed
on all hands that the greatest difficulty III the
whole problem arose from the pers Jnnei OF the
Kellogg Government 1t seemed to be conceded
that the Government which had onsted Kellogg
was one that would be be'ter for the peace aad
general prosperity of the State than the one over
thrown, but notwitEs tanding tins as the ;rrstlon
Of violence and armed rebellion, it had no cal :

The question of establishing q military
government until a new election can be held
as requested by telegraph by number OF M
duential parties, was folly considered, but II
was soon dismissed AS establishing, II adopted
a very dangerous precedent, and one w len ri
the Southern States would soon prepare 70

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer !

Especial TO the CllClnnatl Enquirer !
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept Is, 1S74.-The
news from New Orleans published in the
morning papers created profound sensation.
1t was received very differently by different
persons, according to their respective political
associations. The. Radicals were prompt. as
they always are, to condemn the Southern
people, no matter how fragrant the oppres
sions put upon them; and even those Repub-
licans who pretend to honesty and detestation
Of the carpet-bag thieves insist that there
must be no resistance to their demands. The
ooutherners here, recognizing the fact that
Grant has sold out to the carpet-baggers IL
order to get their support tor third term,
looked to him TO s!gnalze promptly his ma
lignity fer their people. They were not dis
appointed.
About the same time this morning that the
dispatches came from New Orleans-that the
city was i'll qiliet possession of the McEnery
Goyernment-the President put forth his pro-
ciamation commanding the lawful Government
OF Louisiana to dlsperse. There Is no doubt
that Grant, having once committed himself to
the Kellogg and Casey usurpation, Is now
ready to wade through any amount Of blood
to sustain its power The President had in
tended to leave tonight for his amusements at
Long Branch, but as the Secretary of War,
the General OF the Army and the Secret iry OF
the Nay axe absent, it is possible lie may re-
main to see the end of the affair.
GRANT AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
A Herald dispatch states that the Pres dent
told the so-cailed Senator Spencer that while
he would have vetoed the Civil Rights Bill at
the last session La It passed, it may become
his duty to sign it if it should pass next ses-
sion. 1t looks as if the ute'sts cordiale between
Grant and the carpet-baggers was complete,
and mutually satisfactory.

the Louisiana question continues to obscure
all others, and the excitement over 1t il undated
Inc Govel nment 10 much exercised over the mat

people OF Louisiana they carry one whose charac-
ter canno, be defended IN any civilized commu-

! contempt. 1t IL not uncommon Ill Government
! circles 10 hear the remark that he lost a grand
opportunity the other day i'll not dying IN de ense
| Of the State-House. His cowardice disgusts
| them, and the ease with which he was dispos-
sc -sed OF all Official power adds seriously to the
embarrassment OF tie Presidents position.
Yesterday morning, when the first proclama-
ton Was issued, the President and Cabinet did
rot believe that the Penn Government had full
and complete control OF the Safe. Further in
tormation decided the President to abandon his
trip to Long Brahch, and difficult was the
problem that two Cabinet councils have been
held to-day to determine the matter. In the
mcantline some very strong appeals have been
made to President Grant not to add to the OPP
preston and misery OF the people of Louisiana.
. 1t was supposed by some that those appeals
would be successful, and that The President. in
We" ot he unanlMlty OF tie action Of the people
III Louisiana. would modify the hard position he
had taken in the first proclamation. 1t was al
gusd I'd. L. could .uOpt one Ut two courses
First, policy OF non-lntererence and neutral
| ity, not recognizing either Government, an =
leaving it to Congress to determine the political
status q .4..... IA, second to declare that there
was SUCH state OF d,4 3rGcr in LouisIaG, 49,,
martial law was necessary to preserve order, and
to hold the election In November under military
| auspices, BY the first plan the people Of Louis
ana would have their own lawful Government,
and be relieved from their expressions; by The
second they would get tempo AIRY immunity frt N
the thieves, and have tair election in November,
or tn prospect of one, which, as it would give a
hope OF dellverance, would be mort welcome to
the people 1t is understood that both these
methods OF Executive procedure consid-
cred. Unfortunately, however, the Government
regards itself az bound by the fatal precedent se,
, two years ago by which the army was EN-.
ployed to prop up Government OF brisands and
tleves. and it was concluded to-day tina: they
. could not 80 back on what they have already de-
: term ned The decision Is, therefore, to stand
