IT is related of Gen. Phil. Kearney,
says a Northern paper, that during the
hottest part of the day at Seven Pines,
when his division were putting in their
very best clicks IN holding back the
Confederate column, the Colonel Of a
certain regiment of infantry that was
hurrying forward galloped to the
American Bayard and asked him where
he should 90 in. "Oh, anywhere,
Colonel, anywhere. It's all the same.

Grant in a CantanksrOus Mood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The President
has puzzled the politicians not little dur
ing his recent visit here, which closed to
night by his departure for Long Branch.
The carpet-baggeTs who poured in on him
in clouds were utterly bewildered by the
reception he gave them, and the vehemence
with which he charged upon them the re
sponsibility for having fOmented the
troubles in the South. He has broadly
conveved to them the idea that be has not
the high opinion Of the Republican party
that he once had. Altogether, he seems TO
he in A cantankerOus mood Just now.

KeIIOgg's COwardiee.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.


WASHIsG GToN, Sept. 15.-Judging from
the Associated Press dispatches the reSOlu-
ton has already been successful, and the
disp- -rsiOn of the militia called out by
Penn will not restore kellogg TO power.
If the President undertakes to put kel-
logg back into the State House, as Senator
West presumes he will do by the aid OF
United States troops, he will not succeed
unless he can put into kellogg sufficient
courage to enable him to be put back. kel-
lOgg cannot stand off at arms length, or
hide in the custOmhOuSe, gaTTisOned by
United States troops and guns, and exer-
else the powers and the duties Of Governor
of the State. The Senator thinks that kel-
lOgg ought TO have remained in the EEecu-
tive Office and defended it, even with his
life, and that the cOwardice he has shown
in running away has not only proved him
to be unequal 10 the present emergency, but
has greatly complicated matters. lnspeak-
ing of the easy victory which the citizens
seem to have gained over the Metropolitan
police, Mr.. West said that it did not sur
prise him. That body was made up of pO-
iitical bummers, who held their places be-
cause they We're expert in the managing Of
ward eaucuses. The rank and file had
been cheated out Of part of their pay, and 1t
was not strange that they should fail Rel

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.--D. B. Penn, act
ING Governor of Louisiana, telegraphs to
a newspaper of this city as follows:
ssThe North can form no idea Of the rob
beTy and spoliati0n TO which we have been
subjected. Ny movement was neeessitated
by the attitude of the people. They de
manded il. | am now in full possession
of the Government of the State. The col
ored people are satisfied and cOntenied. A
strong brigade Of colOred troops, fully
armed and in the service of the usurpatiOn,
refused 10 fire a shot in its defense. The
most perfect peace and good order prevails.
We are thoroughly loyal to the Federal
Government, ana in the operations OF the
past two days there have been no excesSes
or violations of the law. This Govern
ment is the only one now in existence in
Louisiana"
what kellogg Claims 20 Have Done.
Gov. kellogg, in telegraph 20 the same
paper saws: "Amid all the troubles which
have beset the State, have reduced the
State and parish taxation each fully one
third, and measures have been passed pro-
yiding for the reduction of the State debt,
and a constitutional limitation to the debts
both of the State and city; also, an amend
ment limiting taxation. The obnoxious
features of the election and registration
laws, used by the fusiOnists in the last cleo
iiOn, have been repealed, and in the ap-
pOintment of officers Of registration, | have
voluntarily rendered to the opposition 4
representation which they entirely denied
to the Republican party at the last
election. They, finding as tine registra-
tiOn progressed, 20 impeach the farmers OF
which they themselves were unable, that
they would be left still more in a minority
at this election than ever before, if the
voters were allowed the free, untramelled,
unintimidated franchise. They have by
long prepared plans, violently OveTthrOwn
the Government, even before the election,
to present the evidence that they had not q
/ majority before. Upon shallow pretexts ot
violence, and by iucendiary statements and
appeals, they have got together their ans
which they have organized in secret and
drilled in their elub-rOOms in this city, and
have taken possession Of the public
offices by violence and blOOdshed. Per
sonally have no desire to discharge the
very Onerous and vexatious duties Of Gov
ernor, but feel it a duty | owe 10 tht
State and to the party, to hold on till re
lieved by competent authority.

DEATH OF A NEWSPAPER MAN-Lv-
man j .McIndoe, Esq, died at his residence
in Windsor on Wednesday morning of last
week, aged 81 years. His disease was
consumption, Mr.. McIndoe was proprie-
tor of the Windsor Journal. Vermont
Chronicle, and sundry other editions of the
same having different names, owning more
newspapers in number probably than are
published by any other man in Vermont
except, possibly, Mr.. Merchant of Burling-
ton. He was practical printer, IN indie
fatigable worker, and had accumulated
a respectable fortune as the result of many
years of hard unremitting toll in the publ
cation business There can be little doubt
that the incessant care and toll he gave
his chosen life work had the effect to ma
terially shorten his days. and he is called
from life with many of his plans for the
future not yet worked out, or even fully
| matured.
