Gen. Braxton -Bragg sent off
the following dispatch from Gal-veston
on the night of the 14th :
Gen. H. N. Ogden, New Orleans :
Texans greet you, and wish you
speedy deliverance.
Braxton Bragg.
A convert to Judaism is rare,be-cause
the Jews do not seek to
make any. But on Sunday the
synagogue in Galveston was
crowded to hear tho profession of
faith which Miss Theodosia Rush-ing,
daughter of Col. Rushing of
tho Ennis Argus, was to make to
the unity and singleness of God.
Miss Rushing and her father de-dared
that she did this of her
own accord. Rabbi Blum warn-ed
her that it was no light thing
to connect herself with the cliil-dren
of Israel whom the bigoted
yet treat with opprobrium. But
she was firm and declared her
faith. Miss Rushing was then
united in the alliance of matrimo-ny
with Mr. Philip Freeman.
On the 14th Grant was dining
the veterans of the Mexican war
in Washington, and Albert Piko
was frothing over with gas.
What do they care for the patri-ots
of other days when the city of
New Orleans, famous for her gen-erosity
and valor in that same |
struggle, and poor Mississippi,
which sent her famous troops to
those same wars, arc delivered
over to the carpet bagger for a
rule of ruin ! But the president
drank his whisky, issued his pro-clamalion
and left yesterday for
Long Branch. The patriots . of
the Mexican war ! What is pat-riotism,
if tho struggles in New
Orleans are not patriotic! Yet
carpet baggers and radicals will
say, it is a new rebellion !
Washington, Sept. 4.—In the i
hope of breaking the ioree of the j
statement telegraphed to the Sun
two days ago of Grant’s violation
of law in transacting executive
business outside the District ofj
Columbia, the organs of tho Ad-ministration
are claiming that the
Presidency is not an office attach-ed
to the seat of government.
This will not hold water. The
act of 1791, quoted from in ray
despatch, was one establishing a
permanent seat of government at
Washington, and has not only
never been repealed, but last ses-sion
of Congress it was reenacted
by the passage of tho bill entitled
“Revised Statutes of the United
States.” She executive office is
as much an office in the sense
intended to be conveyed by the
act of 1791 as that of Secretary
of the Treasury, and it certainly
would not be pretended that that
officer could, without violation of
I law, exercise tho functions of Ins
office outside tho Dietidct of Co-lumbia.
The routine business
| which Grant transacts at Long
Branch, Martha’s Vineyard, and
Saratoga is of course done as at
j Washington, and there is no legal
! method of going behind the re-cord.
Hence its legality cannot
be dis pitted in a court of Justice;
but nevertheless each act so per-
I formed constitutes an impeacha-ble
offence.—N. Y. Sun-
St. Louis Flour.—Just received—
one hundred barrels of No. 1 St. Louis

Two years ago the necessity of
a presidential canvass boosted'in-to
the gubernatorial chair of Lou-isiana
the infamous usurper, Wil-liam
Pitt;Kdiiogg of Illinois. It
is well known how liq~ came to
liis position. Tho midnight or-der
of .Durell, the Federal troops,
the outrage in all its details will
not soon bo forgotten by men who
used to be free.
Two years of misrule and plun-der
had passed; tho elections were
again approaching and the poo-pie
of the State were in earnest
to retrieve their fortunes at the
polls. But Kellogg the carpet
bagger, the quintessence of cow-ardly
infamy, concocted a rogis-tration
law which prevented hun-dreds
of naturalized citizens from
registering, and fixed punish-ments
upon tho venal courts that
should by any miracle take cog-nizance
of a mandamus for regis-tration.
Kellogg also by his po-lice
repeatedly of late plundered
private parties and dealers in
arms of 'guns and ammunition, in
bold affront of the second article
of the amendments to the consti-tntion
of tho United States, which
declares that tho right of the peo-pic
to bear arms shall not be ‘in-fringed.
It was evident that the
adventurer reckless of all save his
person and power, was forging
now chains for enslaved Louisi-ana.
The citizens of New Orleans
issued on the 14th a call to meet
at Clay’s statue to petition for a
redress of grievances. They de-clared
they had no quarrel with
any body but thieves and demand-ed
tho abdication of Kellogg; Kel-logg
refused to seethe committee
appointed to confer with him.
There upon Lieutenant Gov-ernor
D. B. Pehn, who was elect-ed
on the McEnery ticket by
some 15000 returned majority,
assumed his office, issued bis proc-lamation
of peace to the colored
citizens of Louisiana; and prepar-ed
to expel the usurpers.
lie was opposed by one James
Longstroet, a formerly respecta-bio
man, commanding mongrel
Metropolitans, horse, foot and ar-tillery.
Longstreet commanded
the citizens to disperse, and on
their declining to do this, his
Metropolitans opened fire. About
an hour was consumed in over-throwing
the military force of
the Kellogg government with
what loss onr readers are alrea-dy
aware, The next day on the
loth—Penn was inaugurated, fol-lowed
by thirty thousand rcspcc-tabid
men, McEnery being absent.
Reports from Shreveport say that
the movemont will go on in
North Louisiana, and five days
doubtless every legally elected
officers will be installed through-out
the entire State.
And Ulyses S. Grant issues his
proclamation, with many where-ases.
detailing his powers to use
tho militia of other States, and
so forth, and the one therefore
commanding turbulent and dis-orderly
persons to disperse with-in
five days and hereafter to sub-mit
themselves to the constitut-cd
authorities of said State. The
President concludes by invoking
the aid of all the good citizens
in upholding the laws, which he
will be gratified to learn, they
have already done. It may bo
well to recollect that Mat Carpen-ter
ja radical of the Senatorial
Committee appointed to investi-gate
Louisiana affairs always de-nounced
Kellogg as a usurper,
holding by' no law but that of the
Federal bayonets. The Federal
bayonets stood however affection-atel.
v locked in quadruple'cmbrace
at the custom-house and without
them Kellogg had no power to
stick.
Tho proclamation does not read
violently. It equivocal, which
may bo duo to its being gotten up
by Fish and not Williams. It is
to bo hoped Grant will support
Penn the legally elected Lieutcn-ant
Governor of Louisiana. The
clemency of tho populace displays
their overwhelming power in the
the c11j*. The high character of
the professional men, merchants
and laborers engaged in the up-rising,
shows the high character
of the movement. And if Grant
wants to support the legal gov-ernment
of the State he will only
have to recognize tho one that
will be organized at the end of
the five days he allows, for the
miserable Kellogg, through his
bravo mercenary, Longstreet,
has from his refuge in the custom
house begged the protection
of the White League. An
overthrow of the Kellogg sat-rapy,
emmigration or starvation,
were the alternatives of Louisi-ana;
lot us hope that they have
aeeomplishd the first.

the Secretary of the U. S. Treas-
| ury with a view to have Hous-ton
made. a.port of entry and
rid her of tho necessity' of exhibj
ting papers at the Galveston cus-tom-
house^ says that an addition-al
argument is that he will under
late contract immediately begin
to dredge out Buffalo Bayou, and

Carl Schurz on Louisiana Carpet
Baggers-
In a recent number of - the St.
Louis Post a German paper edit-ed
by Senator Schurz, we find an
articles on ‘The Shamful Situation
in Louisiana,’ from which the fol-lowing
signfieant extract is
taken:
While we are here advocating
the civil rights bill, with so much
unanimity, how can wo blame
tho unhappy white peoplo of Lou-isiana,
if they make an effort to
throw off the yoke of slavery im-posed
upon them by Grant; Uasey
Kellogg and Durell, who while
the ballot-box is being stocked
against them, have left them the
alternative of taking the wander-er’s
staff and going forth into the
world as beggars, leaving their
paternal inheritance in the hands
of thieves, or remaining at home
to be ruined by taxation, helpless
against the scoundrels that crack
the whip over them and lash them
to death.
If they could succeed in driving
the Northern carpet-baggers out
of tho State, every honest man
would rejoice, and even if some
of them should be deprived of
life or limb you could not find 12
honest men who would not ren-der
a verdict of “not guilty, done
in self-defense.” It has come’to
such a pitch down there that, ap-pealing
to nature’s law, we not
only excuse, but advise violent
measure, while we have human
blood running in our viens.
Fire! Fire!!—We have for sale at
this office live Babcock Fire Extin-guisliers,

Shreveport, Sept. 16.—The
rightful Officers elected in 1872
have been peaceably reinstated
in all the parishes so far as heard
from in North Louisiana. There
has uot been nor will there bo a
single deed of bloodshed. The
movement has been conducted by
the leading property’ holders, bus-iness
and conservative men in
this and adjoining parishes. The
best of feeling prevails between
the,whites and blacks. Our peo-pie
are of opinion that President
Grant’s proclamation was issued
under a misapprehension of the
facts. 'They can not believe that
he will use the power of his great
office to crush them. There will
be no conflict between the people
and the federal authorities; but
the Kellogg infamy is dead be-yond
resurrection, troops or no
troops.
Delhi, Sept. 16.—An enthusi-astic
mass meeting of the citizens
of Richland parish was held at
Rayville yesterday' evening with
great rejoicing at the news from
New Orleans. Dr. Brumby, Gov.
MeEnery’s appointee to the office
of tax collactor, was installed in
office by' the citizens who gave
three cheers for tho outgoing Kel-logg
appointee, Jones, for courte-ous
way in which he surrendered
the office; which was followed by
large and enthusiastic cheers for
ihe new collector and redeemed
Louisiana. All the officers of tho
parish arc now McEnery men. A
large number of colored men at-tended
the meeting and partici-pated
in the rejoicing. Cannon
were fired at Delhi last night and
there isgoneral rejoicing all over
the parish among all classes of
citizens.
. Franklin parish will install her
McEnery officers to-day'.

New York,.Sept, 10.—The Rost says
“we believe President Grant’s inter-ferenee
in the domestic affairs of the
Southern States lias been wholly mis-cl.
eivous. Through his aid Kellogg
has fortified his position on every side
by legal barriers. Men do not seek re-dress
with lmiskefin hand when they
have a fair chance to obtain re-dress
at the ballot-box. Kellogg's
hand now covers every ballot-box in
Louisiana. Like tho late Louis Napo-leon,
he can obtain for his most illegal
acts the apparent sanction ot the peo-pie.
Even the ballot-box, the peaceful
weapon of the freemen has become un-der
his management the instrument of
political tyranny, the herald of discord
and financial ruin. He ought to be
left to the vengeance ot the people
whose necks are under liis heel.”
The Express denounces the Presi-dent
for again supporting Kellogg.
'flie Commercial says "this bloody
riot has been caused by an incendiary
action of the White League ; evident-ly
the position of a prean anged plan.
But lawlessness must be put down at
ail hazards, and it is better the battle
fie lought out in New Orleans than
elsewhere, unless a premium is to lie
placedlipon rioting.
