statas OF the MeEnery Government
Lieutenant- Governor Penn makes the fol
lowing statement relative to the govern
meut:
The two governments have been organ
lied since 1872. There was a meeting Of
the McEuery Legislature last session. III
every respect, therefore, the status of the
de factO and de jure government was main
tanned. The troops engaged on the 14tf
inst, instead of being insurgents, as styled
inthe Presidents proclamation, were the
militia Of the McEnery Government duly
commissioned, etc. They oyerthrew and
drove from the soil Of the State the officers
d the de facto government, establishing
the McEnery as a de facto as well as dc
ure government under the strict letter Oi
he law. kellogg could not call
apon the United States to interfere,
his government being out of the
State, and unable at the time Of his appli-
cation to maintain himself on Louisiana
soil, but a refugee in the CustOmhOuse
The proclamation of the President has
been Obeyed, and while the United State:
forces are in possession Of the archives and
property of the State, the McEnery Gov.
ernment is still organized, and simply de
prived Of its de fdcto functions by the
United States authority and power. The
MoEnery Government Can assert its power
and will be obeyed throughout the State
The kellogg Government can be reinstateG
by the United States forces, but can only
maintain itself through that power.
Lieut.. Gov. Penn then asks: Is the re.
publican form Of government guaranteed
to every State under the Constitution?
