When the telegraph flashed ths following
order from Washington, Giants satrapy was
Officially made known 70 the people Of the
United States:
2 WAsHEs1oN, September 18.-Order re-
garding the safraDy Of Louisiana:
WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUIANT's OFFICE, J
WAsHrssToN, d. O., September 10. !
Gen. " r. Emory, Commanding the Department Of
The 0uk md NsT Orlnans:
You win follow out the instructions
IS In the former dispatch. All turbulent
persons must be put under arrest. the
order must be implicitly complied with.
(SIgned) E. d. TOWNSEND, Adjt Gen.
Subsequent to the Issue Of the above
order, steps were taken. go said, to ascer-
tain who was the autkor. But it was be
lieved to be genuine, and that It originated
in the Adjutant's Office. Why should any
one question its authenticity Is it not well
known and admitted that Grant did set up
Q government IN Louisiana under and by
virtue Of the decision Of judge who had
no jurisdiction in the case, and whose de-
cree was no more valid than that Of the
Prime Minister Of the Sandwich Islands
would have been In such casei A satrap
Is defined to be = Governor OF a province in
Persis. A satFspy, q province under the
control Of Governor. The term in this
case was most appropriate; for Grant ac-
tually had set up, like the monarchS Of
Persia, a Governor over his province Of
Louisiana. The wall of the people asnot
consulted; all the beauties of the ballot
were ignored; an election held in accord
ance with the existing laws Of the State
was ignored by the mere word Of creature
who had been sent INTO the satrapy of his
majesty fer the purpose Of striking down
the officers elected BY the SURFACES of the
people. so Is TO place in power satrap of
the Teigning monarch. Why then should
there be any surprise manifested over such
an Orderi Surely it Is far less oppressive to
use the word sstrapy than to create and set
up q satrap who governs by the win Of his
master. And, yet, such was the case. Kel-
lOgg had not been elected, as the President
well knew, Governor of the State. He had
the most ample proof Of this fact. But he
paid no attention to the evidence; and even
sent troops into the province to uphold his
satrap, and enforce his DEGREES. The satrap,
Kellogg, proceeded to organize his govern
ment, raise an army Of Metropolitans, arm
and place them under the command of his
Gen. Longstreet, who had orders to suppress
all disloyalty and force the citizens to sub
NIT to his rule. It was actually done.
Witness the incarceration of the Grant par
ism prisoners, their inhuman treatment, the
farce Of q trial, the introduction of per
jured witnesses, and the conviction of some
Of them in defiance Of the rules Of law and
of justice. The usurpatiOus of Kellogg
are not the fancies Of a disordered
brain, but stern realities, which were
and are pressing down with 3 leaden
hand upon the rights and liberties
Of the people Of Louisiana. The satrapy
has been established, and is now being car
ried on and governed BY the win Of the
creature whom Grant has placed over the
people contrary to their votes, and in de-
Hanee Of their wishes and protestations.
The satrapy is an accomplished fact. KEEL
logg rules and governs according to the ex-
pressed will Of his sovereign, who, from
bis throne in Washington, Eliminates his
orders, and is obeyed with alacrity.
at il too late for the people of the United
States TO object to the autoerasy Of Grant.
He has the army and navy under his CON-
mand; multitude Of officers watch his
beck and call, and fear 20 incur his dis
pleasure. Az convincing proof Of his sove-
reignty, we would cite the fact that when
kilograms were received in Washington that
the citizens Of Louisiana had arisen in their
might, and hurled The usurper from his
seak, his servants were afraid to disturb
him, because he was giving . feast
to his officers, who. at the Aztec,
were glorifJing him fer his deeds of
daring in the Mexican war; and it was not
till the next day after he had slept Of the
effects Of the orgies Of the previous night
that they dared to break the unpleasant
news to his august ear. So soon as his
Majesty became convinced Of the fact that
his satrap had been depOsed BY the citizens
Of Louisiana, be was furious and issued
his orders for the army and navy to bold
themselves in readiness to swoop down
upon his disloyal Subiects and teach them
how awful Il was to incur his wrath. And
when il was known that they did not pro-
pose 10 resist the government. his Adjutant
General Vas instructed 70 order the General
commanding the United States forces in
the satrapy 70 enforce the dispatches pre-
tiously sent, and place under arrest ell tur-
bulent persons. The viii Of the antocrat
has been Obeyed; and thscitiEens Of Louisi-
ana ere compelled to submit to the DONNA.
