SCENES AT THE NEW YORK
HOTEL.

The news from New Orleans yesterday afternoon
and evening created intense excitement at the
New, York Hotel. There was no mistaking the
feeling aroused by the news rom Louisiana a.
paolished in the HERALD. Quiet gentlemen, from
whose appearance there was no indication
that they were troubled with strong feelings on
any subject, stamped their feet and gessculated
almost alter the manner of the New Workers when
they received the news OF the surrender OF Lees
army.
Several sedate gentlemen, bearing the chival-
rOus air for which the Southerner Of good birth
gets credit everywhere bore with considerable
moderation the various sensational announcements
as to the great difficulty. One elderly gentleman
said with much feeling that he had fought in the
war, that owing TO the fact that the Con-
federates had Jailed he had lost much OF hia
property, and lowered his social position in his
native State, and that now, IN his temporary
absence, similar high handed measures as those
again desolate his home. Much satisfaction was
created by the arrival OF the following despatch
from Dunnison Co., New Orleans:- @.
All quiet here O'Clock. Business ii Is hoped
will be resumed tomorrow.
1t evident that this feeling OF satisfaction
arose much more from the idea that the White
League were In possession OF the State House
ana OF the public property OF the CITY,
including a large quantity OF arms, than
from the possibility that business would be re-
sumed so soon. None OF the SOutherners seemed to
have any doubt that the state or things as re-
ported would become permanent The 10 cling in
regard to President Grants prociamatlon was
that II Kellogg was restored by the aid OF federal
arms the result would be a renewal OF a military
government IN louisiana.
The merchants at the hotel were much con.
cerEed as TO the disOrdered state OF things which
they would have tO meet on tnelr return home. 1t
was Ielt strongly tnat the time had come when the
exercise Of the federal power in upGOIding wnas
was designated ian unnatural relation OF the
black to the white man." should cease TO exist.
Inc same sentiment was heard all around.

chances, but simply act upon their impulses.
They are always likely to do foolish things, and an
accident may call them to arms and place them In
defiance to the general government In any
shed and discord and deferred hopes for the
return OF pubic confidence and the revival OF
business prosperity
CRY FOR ARBITRARY POWER
There is another class, however, which would
not object to see Kellogg OverthrOwn by these

might come out OF It, These are the very men
who have most to lose by any disturbance OF the
peace-the property owners, the merchants, the
business men. With them bope deferred has
made the heart sick, until at last they are uttering
their cry or despalr-a cry for arbitrary
ment that will not punder them. that will treat
them justly and impartialy-abOve all that can
command and compel respect "Send us major

years OF military rule" said another, "buslness
would be able to recover from the depress-
ing influences OF the last fve and our
people, both white and bllck. would have
time to learn the duties OF citizenship" The
business men all eel that they must have freedom
from political discussion and dlscOrd. TO obtain
TINS they are willing to iOregO the privileges OF
citizenship, such as voting and holding office. 1t
Is strange cry but one that Is exceedingly natural
from a people oppressed as this people has been
and divided by so many diverse elements.

Tho Arms Seizure.

New Orleans Plcayune, Sept ILL.,
Infamous and stupendOus Is this outrage, one
ls forced to regard with respectful amaZement-
not wholly foreign TO admiration-the cOnsummate
and marvellous audacity which is inspiring the
action Of the authorities. "Now you see 1t, and
now you don't see it," one moment Messrs
Guyol and Fremaux are citizens protesting against
an outrageous interference with their constitu.
tional rights and suing Tor the restitution OF their
property, the next presto! they
to answer lor the crime OF conspiracy. The police
are no longer highway ruflians; Messrs. GuyOl
and Fremaux are no Logger outraged and plum
dered travellers Nothing Is like it used TO be
and everything IS changed. The authorities
soften into dsmayed and intmdated victims
GuyOi and Fremaux loom into conspirators and
assassins. whose most pressing occupation hence
fortn must be TO escape the dungeon and the
gallOws
II the original seizure was unparalleled in the
history OF popular governments, so Is this latest
phase OF radical craft utterly unapproachable as q
specimen vi saIdonic, olabOllC humOr.

SOUTHERN Corn MEAL.-To any one who
has ever enjoyed the pleasure of eating 3
pOne or hoecake of genuine fresh Corn.mcal
made of Southern white corn, the taste OF the
dry and heavy substitute for il found on our
hotel and restaurant tables of this city affords
sad and unsatisfactory contrast, and we
greatly wonder that some of our enterpriSlng
grOccIs in this and other Northern cities do
not arrange with good house in Charleston,
or Savannah, or further inland along the line
of the railroads to ship them a regular sup
ply. We know that many Of our retail gro
GERS have up the sign Of Southern corn-meal,'
but they do not get the genuine article. We
do not mean meal ground here from Southern
corn, nor meal ground in the South and then
kiln.dried and shipped here. We know that
kind OF mca! can be got, What we refer to
IS meal ground from the fresh corn, after fully
matured and hardened, by one Of the regular
old and old-fash '0ned, sl0w-going, over-Shot,
water'whecl nil, found on the creeks all
over the South All, such battcr-cakes, and
egg bread, aud thin water-likc hoecakcS as
that kind OF meal makes is as much superior
to the stale and improbable stuff we get here,
as sweet arr ,ucculent timothy grass is to
dry shucks OF fodder. They say such fresh
meal will not bear transportation, that it Will
become sour and moldy. That is true, if it
was intended to keep it long on hand, but we
venture the prediction that the house that re-
ceives such simonpurc corn-mea., would not
have a chance to see whether it would be

The First GrapeyIne---A Grecian Legend.

When BacchuS was boy, he Journcyed
through Helas TO go to Naxia and as the
way was very long, he grew tired, and sat
down upon stone TO rest. AS he sat there
with his eyes upon the ground, he saw lit
tie plant springing up between his feet, ana
was 30 much pleased with it that he deter
mined to take it with him and plant 1t in
Naxia. He took It up and carried II away
with him; but. as the sun was very hot, he
feared it might wither before he reached his
destiratio He found bird'S skeleton, into
which he thrust the plant, and went on. But
in his hand The plant sprouled so fast that it
started out OF the bones above and below
This gave him fresh fear of its whitening,
and he cast about for remedy. Tie found a
lions bone which was thicker than the birds
skeleton, and he stuck the skeleton with the
plant in it into the bone Of the lion. ErelOng,
however, the plant grew out OF the hons
bone likewise. Then he found the bone OF
an ass, larger still than that OF the lion; 50
he put it into the lions containing the birds
skeleton and the plant, into the ASS bone,
and thus nc made his way 10 NaXid. When
about to set the plant, hc found tina; the roots
had entwincd themselves around the birds
skeleton, and the lions bone, and the ASS
bone; and as he could not take it out without
damaging the roofs, hc planted ii As /; was,
and it came W spccdIly, and bore 10 his great
Joy, the most delicious, grapes, from which he
made the first wine and gave il to men to
drink. But behold miracle! When men
first drank OF i, obey ir>t sang like birds;
next after drinking little more, they be-
came vigorous and gallant Ike lions; but
when they drank more still they began 70
