AFFAIRS AT NEW ORLEANS.
SPECIAL Iispatca tn The Chicago Tribune.


New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 26-The lublca-
ton of the letters Of HessrB. Butler, Billings,
and Cushing to-day, WAS, I am ASSURED by cou-
fndeutial adviser and prominent member OF
tie NcEnery movement, unauthorized so far aa
3lr. McEnery and his prominent supporters
arc concerned. While the letters published
were OF minor importance, it had been the inten-
tion to withhold all the correspondence from
the press for the present at least. The originals
we're all returned when the State-House
Was surrendered to Gen. Brooke, and possibly
may not now be in existence. During the occu-
patton clerks were employed in copying tue
more important documents, and it was supposed
that only one copy ~as taken, but the publica-
tions OF to-day lead to the belief that two copies
were made Of at least Il portion of them BY
informant stated us tho publication OF private
correspondence was rather q delicate matter,
and IS it might result in antagonizing
some very influential men to the McEnery Cause,
II had been fully decided not to publish. and
that they we're surprised to see these letters in
print.
THE CONFERENCE BUSINESS
has fallen through, the Republicans refusing to
treat anv further. The Fusionists had hopes OF
Packard being removed from his position on the
Committee, but it does not appear probable that
they will be realized.
