mInistratiOn seems still without Ollie
ial advices from Louisiana. The coup
a. etat is fully confirmed.
Within the five days allowed 10y the
proclamation, it is supposed the Gov
ernmeut under the new auspices viii
be fully established. The best opinion
is that at the end Of five days fiuding
all quiet, the Government will let
things ripple. No one here knows Of
any Constitutional machinery by
which the Kellogg Government can
be restored.
During the troubles in Louisiana
Attorney General Williams has been
receiving frequent dispatches from
Marshal Packard, until about 10 o'clock
this morning, when they ceased,
which fact led Attorney General Will
liams to suppose that all further dis
patches were intercepted by the Penn
faction. TO test the fact he sent n dis
patch to Packard about one o'clock to-
day, requesting an immediate answer,
but had received none UP 20 four
o'clock, the hour at which he l.lt his
office.
Statements Of the Rival Governors
as to the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1G.-Nellogg,
in dispatch, says: Amid all the
troubles which have bc.et the State, |
have reduced the State and parish
taxation each fully one-third and
measures have been passed providing
for the reduction of the State debt,
and the constitutional limitation Of
debts both on State and city. Also
an amendment limiting taxation. The
obnoxious features of the election and
registration laws used by the fusionists
in the lastelectiOn, have been repealed,
and i'm the appointment Of officers of
rcgistrationI have voluntarily rendered
to the opposition u representation
which they entirely denied to the Re
publican party at the last election.
These, and other measures, have de
privCd the opponents of the Republi-
can party of any just cause of COM
plant against the State government.
They have, by long-prepared plan,
violently Overthrown the government,
even before the election, to prevent
the election being had, and to prevent
heevidence that they had not MAORI
ty before. Upon shallow preteXts ofvi~
olence, and by incendiary statements
and appeals, they have got together
their clans which they have organized
in secret and drilled in their club
rooms, and in the city have taken
| possession of the public offices by
violence and hloodshed. Personally,
! l have no desire to discharge my on
erous and veXatious duties of Govern
or, but | feel it a duty ! owe to the
/ State and to the party, to hold on un~
