termined upon the following letter addressed
to General Emory, referring to an interview,
in which the surrender was discussed and en-
bodyiDg a protest and remonStrauce against The
position assumed by him in the private inter-
view held with him last evening:
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. II. Gen. W. Emory,
commanding Department Of the. Gulf We
have the houor to submit that since our inter-
view last night We have carefully considered
the question then lnfurmalIy discussed, aud have
concluded to address you III writing, protesting
that there docs not now exist 10 the State OF
Louisiana any lDsurrcct0u against the govern
ment OF McEnery; that there is not iu any part
OF the State OF Louisiana any assemblage or
aggregation OF Insurgents to dlspcrSe, and that
the people OF Louisiana are DOW peacpably at
their respective abodes, and quietly pursuing
their usual avOcaElOnS under protection OF law;
that there Is 20 trace or veStge reminding OF
the late usurpation, Of which William Pitt
kellogg was the head, aud there is but one
government 10 existence in the State OF Lpusi-
ana, which government was elected and chosen
by the people in November, 1872 of which
John McEnery is Governor, and ID. Is. Penn,
Lieutenant Governor. ln all the parishes, and
througho the State Of l. ,uisana, this gov.
ernment is recognized, and is supported aud
adhered to aud respected and obcyed by the
people; is both de jurc and de tacto the gov
ernment Of the State of Louisiana 10 posses
sion aud in actual exercise of all governmental
functions. That if we are compelled by the
military force OF the y. S., which We have
neither the power uor Inclination to resist, to
retire from aud abandon governmental power
and authority rightfuIy and in fact vested in
US iu our respective capacities, there is no gov
erpment Of the State which can take our place,
AID that it will be necessary, in sotne form and
by some fundamentally, to intuSe life into the
effeclually dead aud extinct usu, passion govern
meut of which Wm.P Kellogg was head and
chief, under the assured title of Governor.
Nevertheless having been informed by you
that 20 alternative was left to US but to comply
immediately With the proclamation of the Pres
ident of the date OF September Is, 1874, or
subject ourselves aud our people to the actual
exercise of military force, which means war on
the part OF the government against the State,
