will not fear TO saw so IN their verdict IT is believed
that the investigation will be thorough and just,

any, Will be laid at the right door. Inc
story that the doors were locked 10 pre-
vent the operatives from becoming panic-stricken
and blocking up the stairway is stoutly denied py
the mill officials They mention, as proof OF their
denial the fact that there are no locks on any OIL the
doors in the three stories remaining uninjured ana
seems reasonable to suppose that none were on the
doors of the other stories. The Superintendent
further states that the employees were allowed tne
largest liberties consistent with the enforcement Of
discipline and that they were frequently allowed 10
20 to other portions of the mill to friends or pass
a few leisure moments. One of the many stories
afoat, but lacking confirmation is that the engines
were not stopped at the time the flames were dis
covered, and therefore the operatives had no
knowledge that anything was wrong. If the engines
had been stopped, it is claimed many would have
succeeded in escaping, for they would naturally
have inquired why the machinery had stopped, and
on learning the canse made good their escape

OUTBREAK OF COLORED
PEOPLE,

A COMMITTEE FROM BAYOU SARA APPEALS FOR MIL
ITARY PRoTECTIoN-TRooPs FURNISHED BY GEN.
EMoRY-THE NEGROES ARMED AND ORGANIZED.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
NEw-ORLEANs, Sept. 20.--This morning COM
mittee appointed by a mass meeting of white people
of BAYOU Sara waited upon Gen. Emory to solicit
protection against a threatened outbreak Of negroes
in that parish The Committee, which includes one
of Gov Kelloggs appointees to office represent that
the negroes outnumber them eight to one, and that
the officers charged with keeping the peace are lit-
crate. preiudiced and members of oath-bOund
leagues For some time past the negroes have been
organized and armed. and pave been drilling and
practicing target firing. day or two ago
steamer landed for their use a large quantity OF
powder and buckshOt. The whites have reason to
believe that these preparations are preliminary TO
an attack upon them, and that Tuesday next, when
there will be an emancipation celebration, is fixed
for the outbreak. The temper of the negroes Is
represented to be very violent. The whites be-
lieye themselves capable of meeting the threatened
attack, but deem it best to call upon the
military for protection rather than resort to vio-
lence. Gen. Emory promptly acceeded to the re-
ouest by sending commissioned officer and ten
men. which the Committee deemed sufficient force
IN Bavou Sara. The Committee volunteered to de-
fray the expense necessary for the transportation
and subsistence of the detachment. Bayou Sara is
one of the few places in which Kelogg's officers
were not ousted. 1t is about 60 miles from New
Orleans and 80 from Baton Rouge.

Sunday crowd in full force The Governor found
that all the desks and drawers 10 his Office had been

KEILOGG's FLIGHT IMPRESSED THE PRESIDENT.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRiBuNEl
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The troubles in New
Orleans in the opinion of Cabinet officers, arc about
ended. and no other disturbances expected until
Congress shall have had time to consider still further
the questions relating to Louisiana and its attitude
IN the General Government. The AttOrney-General
saws that so far as he knows everything Is quiet,
and that for two days has received no dispatches
from New-Orleans. He fears that there may yet be
some assassinations and murders Of negroes, but
that there will be no general outbreak Delegations
from that city had interviews with the President
and his legal adviser yesterday and portrayed In
the strongest language the frlghtful attitude OF
affairs. Assassins, they said were on every hand.
and all the Federal Ofceholders in addition to Gov.
Kellogg and many State officials were hourly in
danger of their lives. The fight Of Mr.. Kellogg to
the Custom-house, and his voluntary detention
there did not impress the President and his Attor
uey-G General very favorably, and Mr. Kellogg has
lost some of the credit for personal courage which
he had inspired his friends here with when in the
Senate. While the members of the Cabinet were
with the President yesterday, the subject of
Iouisiana was informally considered, but it was
conceded tnat notntnS Hofe was ioqu1eu w oo uono
