WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The Louisiana revolu-
ton has staggered the Administration. They
will do nothing within five days. There can be
no doubt but that their present intention is to
restore. 1t i said Grant is very angry. The tone
OF the Northern papers is perplexing, man. OF
the most ultra-Republcan papers arguing that
Louisiana has exercised the divine right Of revolt
uton. During the five days it is both hoped and
feared that the white people Of Louisiana will
| dull not device by GOODNESS or delay"
LoLDoN, Sept. l6.-In the race for the st.
Leger stakes to- day the last betting was TO 2
against Apology 10 to against Leahnus, and
to against Trent. There were Is starters.
| WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-Attorney General VIII
liams tonight, in lengthy interview with re-
preventative of the New York Associated Press.
said the so-caled Kellogg Government has been
| established and IN full operation for about two
years. 1t has been repeatedly declared by all the
courts of Louisiana to be the only legal govern
ment of the State. 1t has been repea teddy re-
cognlzcd by the President and implicitly by Con
gress.
The President in special message, called the
| attention of Congress to the subject, and stated
that if they took no action, he should feel bound
to regard the Kellogg organization as the lawful
government of the State. Congress declined to
legislate about the matter. The question is not
now whether Kellogg or ALcEuery ought to be
Governor or whether or 20. there were frauds or
irregularities about the election; but the question
is whether State Government that has been fully
organized for nearly two years and recognized
| rs such by all the Departments of Government
| State and National-can he properly overthrown
by the armed populace OF q city in which the
seat of government is located, by means OF vio-
charged upon the Kellogg Government, can
! these pr pceediu1s be permitted to stand as q
! precedent.
Are the governments Of the States of this Union
| to be determined bv pronunciamentos and violent
and bloody outbreaks, as they are in Mexico and
South America. do not how this case diff
fcrs in principle from the Arkansas case. Brooks
claimed that he received majority of the votes
| at the election, and have always bell we'd that
| he did Baxter, however, MAS the duly in
stall ed Gov. rnor Of the State Of Arkansas.
: Brooks relying on the claim that he was
elected. displaced Baxter by coup dettn, but
the President refused to ,ecognlzo his right to
hold the office obtained in that way. That was a
decision against the Republican and III favor OF
| the d mocrats.
| Following this precedent, do not see how the
! President recognize Penu; to do SO would be
! to no that political party defeated. or claim
ing to be defeated by fraud, at an election for
State officers might, If opportunity offered, take
possession of the State Government by force, and
! so substs ute violence and anarchy for law and
order.
!! believe i, is the duty of the General Govern
| ment to put down this lawlesness, whether COM
nlitted y Republicans or Democrats. The Presi-
! den has not been governed by party considera-
tons these matters and has oftener decidedf OF
Democrats than Republicans.
In respect to Southern difficulties, whatever
may be said of men and thing in Louisiana. the
proceedings OF the. President in respect to that
State have been from the beginning IN some con.
/. formity to Jaw. His course, il ly opinion, will
not now be changed.
: There IL not sensible man IN the United
States who does not know that the seizure oil
the State Government of Louisiana by Penn and
his adhareuts is il uttoy violation and disregard
! of all law.
!
, 70 become party to such transaction. With
respect to the election it is impossible to deter
mine who was chosen. The returns have never
been canvassed and they We're made upi1 perjury,
| forgery and fraud.
! Ihave never believed that the McEnery ticket
was elected. 1t Is absurd to suppose that when
Virginia and North Carolna. AM nearly all the
Southern States, including those that were gen
orally Democratic went for the Grant ticket,
that Louisiana, the strongest Republican State
III the south, went for the Greeley ticket, "a 1t
pretended. especially when the candidate fol
Governor that ticket all unreconstruc ed
rebel colonel. BUTT - too late now t. SO bach
| to that question.
! The issue now is between law and oder on TIE
one hand and violence and disorder on the other
and upon that issue the position OF the President
is not doubtful one.
! MASS MEETING IN ST. Louis.
! ST. Louis. Sept. ia mass meeting was hello
| last night to sympathize with the people OF
Louisiana in their efforts to rid themselves Of
oppression. 1t was largely attenned. Gen
William Shields presided, and large number Of
prominent citizens of boz political parties were
elected vice presidents and secretarys.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 16.-The coored Replbli
cans OF Charleston who are dissatisfied with the
