the decisive victories of yesterday and
consequent decentralization Of the Kel,
logg forces, the finish this morning was
very brief affair About $50 O'Clock
the State House was occupied by the

Kellogg armory, the last Of the radical

assault, captured and appropriated. So

WAsHISeros, September 16 -The
unexpected uprising against the Kellogg
Authority in Louisiana, aud the com pill
cations possible under the circumstances
have caused the President to change his
! determination to return to his cottage
at Long Branch. Though not as yet
| definitely decided, it is possible that he
will now permanently remain at the
capital. It is certain, however, that he
viii not leave Until the ugly outlook Of
affairs in the South has assumed a more
peaceful appearance. .'eo
/ 1t is learned that The President deep,
ly regrets the hostile and demonstra
tive position taken bv the citizens OF
New Orleans against the authorities IL

case has but one lale Of duty before him
and that. is to maintain the sulremac,

post and seeking refuge under the shell
ter of the custom house does not meet
; with much admiration. Yet there wss
nothing more natural for man to dc
who was mean enough to hold Office
against the popular will, supported only
by arbitrary federal power, than to run
into custom house when he was as
sailed. AS was remarked instead O

gatlve 1t is emphatically the opinion
ofthe government here that KELLOGG
should have held his ground, and if he
had been assaiitd or injured in the
| slightest while boldly asserting his OH,
berEatorial character his blood would
have fallen with bitter retribution upon
the assailants. IN tact it was said that
the insult would have been punished if
1t required the demolition of the entire
city. AS the matter now stands it is a
serious question III the minds of the
President and his advisors whether the
the flight of Kellogg is not equal to an
/ abdicasion but admitting this, the fact
is not conceded as a palliat;on.. of the
means by which it was brought about.
The embarrassment ofthe situation is
not denied, ana it is also admitted that
had Kellogg stoodtat his post it would
have been a simpler thing to have sus-
tanned him than now to restore him to
his place. While the government will
not recognize any Of the acts Of the cit.
