Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-The Cabinet
meeting this afternoon commenced at
quarter to four and adjourned at fifteen
minutes past five o'clock. There were
present besides the President, Secretaries
Fish and Bristow. Attorney General
Williams and Postmaster General Jewell.
The other members were absent from the
city. There was unanimity on the point
that the recent movement OF the oppO-
nentS of the Kellogg administration IN
depoSing him from office, was an armed
interference contrary to law and was
calculated to have dangerous influence,
particularly V on the other Southern States,
and therefore 1t became important to

through the adiutant general directing
that As his proclamation recognizing

The President has abandoned, for the

probable that should the trouble increase

LITTLE Rock, SEPTEMBER l5.-The
Republican State Convention effected
pe'manent organization last night, by
electing Senator VI. Dorsey president
and W. W. Orrick secretary.
A resolution was introduced and refer

and the Republicans Of Louisiana on the
Presidents proclamation. The conven-
ton then adjourned 20 ii A. ". On reas-

purpose, through the chairman, Judge
Represented au address TO the
country. which will make about five or
dinary newspaper columns. The ad-
dress starts out with, that the constitution
makes no provision for the calling Of q
constitutional convention, consequently
the acts Of the late convention were rev.
olutionarv. null and void; that Baxter
was not governor at the time the legis-
Iature convened which called the con-
yentiOn. consequently he had no right 70
call the same. even II the legislature had
been called together by lawful eIecu-
tive. 1t was an illegal body in that
thirty-three members Oftbe House and
six of the Senate were given seats where
~ vacancy had occurred, neither by death
nor resignation. We cannot recognize
the right, ;of 'snch a legislature to
legislate for the loyal people of Arkan-
sas. The only way to change the organic
law is by the mode laid down by the
constitution. The General Assembly at
tempted to create body for that purpose
unknown to the constitution. Whether
this can be done or not is q question for
Congress to determine. In the struggle
now being made every State in the
Union is interested. II Arkansas can
change her government in this manner,
every State in the Union can do the
same. The constitution might be voted
down, but registration has been suspend
ed in order that sufficient frauds may De
committed to ratify it, no matter no"

ident have been elected by the citizens and
other officers substituted, the question
arises as to what shall be done by the
federal power in the premises; in other
words, whether Kellogg and his sssoci-
attes shall be reinstated, or the McEnery
party permitted to retain possession of
the State government The subject be-
inc of delicate and important character
Il will be considered with due delibera-
tion. and a decision reached at the cab
met meeting this afternoon. 1t is
considered in official qnarters
that the extraordinary proceed
ings in Louisiana do not concern
that State alone, but all the States in the
Union. if the recent proceeding there are
eountenanced by the general government
it might become precedent to other sec
tions of the country, to the detriment OF
the entire people, and might inaugurate
q system which would substitute military
mower for legal forms in the conduct OF
State administration. 1t is believed that
measures will be taken forthwith, to re-
instate the Kellogg administration with
all the force at the command of the gov
ernment.
Brief dispatches have been received at
the executive department, but they con-
tain nothing new. Senator West and
District Attorney Beckwith, of Louisi-
ana had an interview with the President
this morning, regarding the affairs of that
State.
