Baturdsy morning it publisied a telegram from the Governor of Louisiana denying the corroctross of the atate- ments made by Mr. Walker, The lagter gentie- man returned to the city yesterdav, and replics to that dispatch in the following comanication Tothe Editor of The Chicace Tribune : Sin: Gorv. Kcllogg does not deny the truth of my statercents, I charged thut the debt of the Siate had been mereased §20,000,000 aince the War. He says that « large portioz of it was incurrod undér Democratic suspices. A suficient refutation of this s that the Democritic party bave nut been in power I Louisiana since the War.

Gov, Kellogg does not deny this, nor Le give any swsurauce that Lis Conimissioners will ot do so. zaxEs, 1 said the Kellogg taxes were yery much larger than before the War, but not larger thau under the previous Government. Gov.

New Onveans, La., Sept. 26.—The publica- tion of the letters of Messrs. Butler, Billings, and Cushing to-day, was, I am assazed by a cou- findential adviser and a prominent member of the McEpery movement, unauthorized so far as Mr. McEnery and his prominent supporters ure concerned. While the letters published were of minor importance, it had been the inten- tion to withhold all the correspondence from the press for the present at least. The originals were all returned when the State-House was surrendered to Gen. Brooke, and postibly may not now be in existence. During the occu- pation clerks were employed in copying the more important documents, and it was suppcsed that only one copy a8 taken, but the publica- tions of to-day lead to the belief that two copies wero mado of at least u portion of them. 3Ly informant stated as the publicatior of private corrospondence was rather a delicate matter, snd as it might result in antagonizing some very infiuential men to the McEnerycause, it had been fully decid® not to publish, and that they were surpri<ed to sco these lotters in print. THE CONFERENCE BUSINESS bas fallen through, the Republicans refusing to treat any further. The Fusionists had hopes of Packard being removed from hus position on the Committee, but it does not appear probable that they wilibe reahized.
