candidate for Probate Judge, writes

not a single outrage has been commit

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The statement
that spain cotemplates a cession of
Territory in the West Indies to Ger
many, has recently been semi-offi-
cially denied. The Washington Chron-
icte has the following in reference to
what looks now as probable event:
"Spain may cede some of her possess
sions to Germany, which, by right,
should come into the hands of the
United States. Our Government is
not insensible to the question, but is
keeping watch on Germany's diplo-
macy in this direction. Members of
the Cabinet assert, with one accord,
that in the event this cession is made
certainly be enforced.
From New Orleans.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The Times New
Orleans special says the White League
have received notice to be ready to
spring to arms at an hours notice, and
an attack upon the Kellogg govern
ment and United States troops is ex-
pected to take place to-day. This is to
be done with the purpose of compel
ling the Federal authorities TO declare
martial law and establish a military
government, and not with the design
of obtaining control of the State Of
fees. The failure of the attempt at
compromise with the kellogg govern
ment in regard to the management of
the election in November is said to be
the reason for this new outbreak. The
White League does not expect to
achieve success, except so far as to
compel the establishment of q mill
tary government. If this shall be eff
fected, the purpose of the rebellion will
be accomplished. McEnery and Penn
will tomorrow issue circular requir-
ing an inspection of all State troops
and the return of all State arms in
their hands and earnestly urging all
citizens to carry out the terms of sur
render in the same spirit. Should the
State officers make search, conflicts
and bloodshed would certainly occur,
but if the United States officers are
assigned to the duty, there would be
no resistance.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 23.-The Polit-
ical Conference in New Orleans will
be re-opened at noon to-day. In Ter
rebonne Parish joint ticket has been
agreed upon.
Reverdy Johnson ON the Louisiana
Question.
New YORK, Sept. %. - Reverdy
Johnson publishes letter arguing
that the President erred in recognizing
the Kellogg Government in Louisiana
originally, because the question was
political, not a judicial one; therefore
Judge DurelPs decisien in favor of
kellogg was neither conclusive nor
binding, because unauthorized. New
ertheless, johnson holds that the Penn
party were wrong in resorting to vio-
lcnce, because the right of revolution
can never be supposed to exist under
an established government. Each
State is bound to every other and to
the United States. The obligation by
power is such that the right by force
to change her form of government is
not possessed, or its exercise might in
terfere with the relation she bears to
her sister States, as we'll as to the par
amount authority of the United
States. Johnson acquits (?) the Pres
ident of the constitutional power to
dissolve the Kellogg rule as the case
stands.
Disguised with the Democratic Party.
Colonel James O. Broadhead,
prominent lawyer and Democratic
leader Of Missouri, has written letter
declaring himself to support Major
General Fry, the Independent candi-
date for Governor. He declares his
belief that the purpose and spirit of
those having charge of Demo-
cratic organizations in Missouri is to
make war upon Union men. He is
utterly opposed to the Radical party
but wants none of such Democracy as
is prevalent. He concludes his letter
as follows:
"Above all things, the country
needs repose and order, and if ihe peo-
pie would seek their true interests
they should avoid Radicalism of both
extremes. But the Missouri Democ-
racy is drifting into the worst kind of
Radicalism. It's doctrines on the cur
rency question leads to reputation
and springs mainly from the fact that
the Government bonds were issued to
raise means to carry Oh the war. It's
hostility to Union men shows that it
still harbors yearning for revenge,
that must inevitably eliminate in
looseness CT disorder which will par
alyze the industry of our state, and
drive emigration from its borders.
am sure that if the people of Missouri
were satisfied that the success Of the
Democratic Party in the State would
cause the canonized bones of the Re-
bellion to break it's cerements, they
would have none of it,"
