NEW YORK, Sept 25-The Tribune's New
orleans special says that Kellogg's friends
stem 10 DC growing fewer. Even in his own
party there are many indications that the col
o o people particularly are becoming dissats-
heu WIN MN and his administration. Inths city
several Republican clubs are organizing with a
view 10 cooperation with the Conservatives
against TINS mismanagement by political adj
venturers, and the movement is slowly spread
Ing IN the country
The Times New Orleans special says that the
seiI,constltuted conference, consisting of Mar,
snal packard and Mr.. Penn, were frutlessly
engaged yesterday in endeavoring to reach an
understanding whereby Kellogg could be allow
ed te stay In Louisiana in safety without the
protection of federal troops.
IL Is now believed that Kellogg is afraid to
carry out the threats 10 seize the arms of pri-
Vate cltizens, but the matter will be fully de-
ciued Today. 1T is openly stated that if the
ponce attempt such searches for arms they will
ne snot 1t is believed that the admListra-
elon Is opposed to prosecution for treason, but
indictments only will be found as matter of
form.
IL IS stated that the White League in Clin-
you township are under arms, and one COM
pahy OF troops was sent yesterday to Constant
ia.
,s The Times despatch concludes as follows
II Is now definitely known that the White
league IS spreading throughout the State, and
Is Is not to be dissolved until after election The
plan decided upon is to make no open attack
On !ne htellogg party as long as protected by
United States troops.
Every day, however. the Governor is threat
enea with assassination. If the Republicans
declde upon acceding to the demands of the
opposition touching the State returning board
lne eiec1sons may pass off quietly. If not,
rlotinS oil serious character is expected 1t is
also part OF the Democratic programme that
they Will not go to the polls, declaring it use
less 10 contend with the corrupt practices of
those Ill power: In this way it is believed that
PUBIC sympathy and indignation will be excit-
ed at the north"
Lieut.. Governor Antoine and Secretary of
State Desonde have again assumed their re-
spectlVe offices. Kellogg was at his own house
for the first time since the attack on the State
capital, last night.
Certificate for MIR. Packard
New ORLEANS Sept. 25.-Gen. Emory re
plies to letter from U. S. Marshal Packard
as follows:
Sir-ln reply to your note of this date have
to state and emphatically, that since II have
been IN command of this department, neither
you, nor any one else has used or attempted to
use or control the U. S. troops for political pur-
poses in any manner whatever. There has
been nothing in our official relations to Justify
the charge that you design to use the troops
for political purposes or have ever done so, and
it you do desire shch an use 1 do not see how
you are to use them for any such purpose; for
be assured any such attempt would be prompt
ly and Immediately resented by both officers
and men. Those who make such charges are
totally ignorant of the character of the regular
troops and the indignation that would attend
any attempt to use them for political purposes
Very respectfully your obedieut servant,
(Signed) w. Ii. EMORY.
