LOUISIANA WHITE LEAGUERS IN ARMS, PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT GRANT The Insurgents Ordered to Disperse within Five Days. The exciting character of the news from New Orleans has caused some anxiety here. The subject of conversation in all the government departments this morning was in regard to th: unfortunate cecurrences of yesterday. It seems that disorders were not wholly unanticipated. from the fact that yesterday dispatches were received at the War department trom Genera McDowell, inclosing one dated the day previous f om General Emory, commanding the Depart- ment of the Guif, to the effect that in h's opinion a riot would ensue from the Cana street meeting. Early this morning President Grant was in his office, and manifested considerable anxiety to receive the latest intelligence from New Orleans, At haif-past 11 o'clock, Attorney General Williams had a consultation with the President, and soon afterwards the following proclamation was issued: Frociamation of President Grant. Whereas, under the pretence that Wiiliam P. Kellogg, the presen: executive of Louisiana, and the officers associated with him in the state administration, were not duly elected, certain turbulent and disorderly persons have com- bined together with force and arms to resist the Jaws and constituted authorities of said state; and whereas, it has been duly certitied by the proper local authorities and jadicially deter- mined by the inferior and supreme courts of said state, that said officers are entitled to hold their offices respectively and execute and dis- charge the functions thereof, and whereas Con- . at i te session upon a due considera- jon of the subject tacitly recognized the said executive and his associates then, as now, in office by refusing t> take any action with respect thereto; and whereas, it~ is provided in the constitution ef the United States, that the United States shall protect every state in this Union on application of the legislature, or of the executive when the legis- lature cannot be convened, against domestic violence; and whereas it is provided in the laws of the United States that in all cases of insur- rection in any state or of obstruction to the laws thereof it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, on application of the legisla- ture of such state, dr of the execative when the legislature cannot be convened, to call forth the militia of any other state or states, or toe such part of the land and naval forces as shai. be judged necessary for the purpose of snp- preesing such ingarrection or causing the laws to be duly executed; and whereas the legislature of said state is not now in session and cannot be convened in time to meet the present emergency, and the executive of said state, under section 4 of article 4 of the constitution of the United States, and the Jaws passed in pursuance thereof, has, therefore, made application to me for such part ot the military force of the United States as may be necessary and adequate to protect said state and the citizeus thereof against domestic vio lence, and to enforce the due execution of the nd whereas it is required that whenever ‘ay be necessary, in the judgment of the President, to use the military force for the pur- poge aforesaid, he eball forthwith by prociama- tion command such insurgents to disperse and retire peacefully to their respective homes within a limited time: Now, therefore, 1, Ulysses S. Grant,do hereby make proclamation and command said turbu lent and disorderly persons to disperse and retire peacably to their respective abodes within five days from this date, and hereafter to submit themselves to the 11 authorities of eaid state, and saopeestion of all good citizens thereof to uphold law and preserve the public peace. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hard and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and [SEAL] Seventy-four, and of the Independence ot the United States the ninety-eighth. U. 8. Geant. By the President: Hamitton Fisn, Secretary of State. The above prociamation is an exact copy o the proclamation issued in May, 1373, upoa th occasion of the riotous demonstration ma te i New Orleans at the beginning of the Kellozz McEnery gubernatorial troubles, with th ception that in this instance, the insurre. ists are required to repair to their resp: abodes within five days, instead of twenty days as on that occasion. SENATOR WEST, who is in the city, is of the opiaton that the riot is of @ much more aggravated nature than the reports by telegraph in the morning papers seem to indicate. It appears that the outoreak has been in contemplation for some days, ana that the course to be adopted at the Canal street meeting was previously arranged, the gathering being merely to give & pro forma endorsement to what had been agreed upon in advance. CONSULTATION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. At 12 o’ciock Gen. Townsend was sent for by President Grant. He at one repaired to the White House. The conference was merely iu connection with orders which it might be neces sary to issue with reference to the movement of troops during theday. Secretary Belknap and Gen. Sherman both being away at the reunion of the Army of the Cumberland, Gen. Town- send will direct, until their retarn, any disposi- tion of the United States forces which may be ordered by the President. PRESIDENT GRANT DETERMINED TOORUSS TUB NEW REBELLION. President Grant in a conversation in refer- ence to the troubles said that up to noon he had received no dispatches which covered any more ground than set forth in the morning news- papers. He eaid that Gov. Kellogg had made s call upon him for protection which was guaran- teed to every state in case of domestic violence, and hence, though he regretted the occasion which called it forth, he had tssued the procia- mation, commanding the insurrectionists to Gisperse, ard further said that he would uss the full extent of his power, if 1t became neces- sary, to quell the incipient rebellion, and to protect lit nd preserve the public peace. At two o’clock no dispatches had been re ceived by the Attorney General. NOT RNOUGH U. 8. TROOPS. This afternoon a dispatch was recetved from Gen. Emory, at the War department, setting forth that the situation was quite critical, ani that the presence of the United States troops in the city had lost the moral force which usually attaches to the reo of a city in time of peace; also that if a conflict with the United States forces became necessary, he had not halt enough troops to meet the emergency. it is understood w that Gen. McDowell has been directed to notify Gen. Emory that he will only use the troops under his command in case an actual disturbance of the peace ts threatened, or when in his judgment the efforts of his com- mand are essential to protect life and limb. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES DISURED- ITED. Up to 2:15 p. m. no advices had been received at the White House, War department or by the Attorney General, which confirm the startling telegrams received by the Associated Press. and they generally discredited. <<: Comsvrs OFFICIALLY RxcoonizEp.—The President has recognized Thomas Jonn Elmore British Consul for Georgis, and Hugo Tritsch, Austrian Consul at New York. of the ibd santa Hardin P. char, THE WAR IN LOUISIANA. Sharp Fightin New Orleans Yesterday List of the Casunities. At the mass meeting to protest against the seizure of arms of private citizens, held in New Orleans yesterday, a resolution was adopted re- granting the immediste abdication of Governor ‘ellogg, and a committee was appointed to wait | upon the governor. The committee called at the executive office about noon. Tho not being present, Brigadier General D. the governor's staff, received the delegation Mr Marr, as spokesman, said they had cailed a: & committee to interview the governor. General | Dibbie said he would convey the intelligence to the governor. After a brief alsence he returned and made a reply, which. at the request of Mr. Marr, was reduced to writing, as foilow GOVERNOR KELLOGG REFUSES TO STEP DOWN AND ODT. “T have communicated with the governor, ard he directs me to say fo you he must decline to receive any communication from the com- mittee appointed by the mass meeting assem bled on Canal street. He doesso, | am instructed to say, because he bas detinite and accurate in- formation that there are now assembled severa) large bodies of armed men in different parts ot the city who met at the call which convened the mass me: ting which you represent. He regards this as a menace, and he will receive nocomma- nication under such circumstances. He farther- more directs me to say that should the people assemble peaceably, withoat menace, he would deem it one of bis Lighest duties to receive any communication fiom them, or entertain any petition addressed! to the government.” ABDICATION O& WAR. ‘Yo which Mr. Marr, on behalf the committee, replied as follows: qj We repeat, there are no armed rioters: there are no armed men on Canal street, so far as we knew. We came on & mission of peace, and beheve thatif the Governor had acceded to the proposition we brought, which was to abdicate, it would bave pacified the people of Louisiana and might or would have prevented violence or bloodshed. So far as we are concerned we are prepared to pledge him no violence in person or property, and we feel in a position, on the con- trary, to assure him that there should be perfect immauity to both.” Gen. Dibble, on the part of the Governor, re- plied: “I have torepeat what I said before, that while there may not be armed men oo Canal street, there are armed bodies within a short distance, assembled ou the same call ax your mass meeting.” ARMING TO ASSIST THE WHITE LEAGUE. The committee then retires, and soon atter- wards reported the result of the interview to the mass meeting. The people were then ad vised to go home, get their arms and ammun tion, anfreturn ‘and aseist the White League, who were then under arms to execute plans that would be arranged for them. The prople then quietly dispersed. Afterward quite a large bumber fermed in procession aud marched ap Camp street. Two cowpanies of United States troops ar rived yeeterday morning, and Marshal Packara & regiment en route from Holly Springs, pi, ror New Orleans. PROCLAMATION OF D. B. PENN. The following proclamation was issued in the afternoon by D. B. Penn, (candidate for leu- tenant governor on the McEnery ticket,) siga- ing himself lieutenant governor of the state of 2 People of Louisiana: For two years you have borne with patience and fortitude great wrongs. ‘Throngh fraud and violence the gov- ernment of your choice has been overthrown, and its powér usurped. Protest after protest, appeal after appeal to the President of the United States and to Congress have failed to ive you the relief you had the right under the Jonstitation to demand. The wrong bas not Teen repaired. On the contrary, throngh the instrumentality of partizan jadges you are de- barred from ali legalremedy. Day by day tax- ation bas been increasing, with costs and pen- alties amounting to the confiscation of your property. Your eubstance squandered, your credit ruined, resulting in failure and bank- ruptcy of your valued institutions. The right of suffrage is virtually taken from you by the enactment of skillfully-dovised registration and election laws. The jadicial branch of your gov- ernné@uthas been stricken down by the con- n of the legal posse comitatus of the sheriff use of the usurper for the pur; ot cefeating the decrees of the courts. ‘is de- fiance of law eee him to use the very force for the arrest of the sheritt while engaged in the execation of the process of the court. To these may be adued # corrupt and vicious le ature, making laws in violation of the constitution for the purpose of guarding and perpetuating their usurped authority, and a Metropolitan police force, paid by the city, un- der control of the usurper, quartered upon you to overawe and keep you in subjection. Every public right has been denied, and, as if to goad }0u to desperation, private arms are seized and individuals arrested. To ench extremities are you driven that mauhood revolts at any further Submission. Constrained trom s sense of duty as legally elected Lieutenant Governor of the state and acting Governor in the absence of Governor McEnery, Ido hereby isene this my proclamation, calling upon tue militia of the state, embracing all males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, without regard to color or previous condition, to arm ani semble under their respective officers for the purpose of driving the usurpers from power.” Subsequently Penn issued an order appoi ing Gen. Frederick N. Ogden provisional ge: eral of the Louisiana etate militia, and dire ing him to arsume command and organize com- panies, regiments, and battalions. A SECOND PROCLAMATION was also igsved by Penn, addressed to the col- ored people of the state, wherein he sets forth that ‘in the grand movement now on foot against the enormities of the rale of the Kellogg usurpation, rest sesured that no harm is meant towards you, your property, or your rights. Pursue your usual avocations, and you will not be molested. We war against thieves, plun- derers, and spoilers of the state, who ‘are in- yolying your race and ours in common ruin. The righte of the colored as well as of the white race we are determined to uphold and defend.” SKIRMISHING. The people seem to have responded with alac- rity to the advice given them at the Canalestreet meeting. By 3o’clock in the afternoon armed men were stationed at the intersection of al! the streetson the south side of Canal street, from the river to Claiborne street. About 4 o'clock a body of Metropolitans, numbering abou with cavalry and artillery, appeared at the ead of Canal street aud took position. Gen. Longstreet,who commanding, accom- fanied by an orderly, then rode up and down Samal street, ordering the armed citizens to disperee. Some desuitory firing soon after occurred along Canal strect, and some few cas- ualties are reported on both sides. The Metro- politans are reported to have broken at the first re, the citizens capturing one piece of artil- Citizens are no uitding barricades along Poydras street, having already captured tne city hall and taken possession of the fire- alarm telegraph. ‘The police telegraph is worked by battery at the city hall, and this has been detached therefrom, rendering the lice wires useless.

At 8 o’clock last the streets above Canal street were well with armed citizens.

P. Kel isa mere T, and we denounce him as such; that his government is arbi 5 Mg and oppressive, and can ; only maint itself through federal inter- | ference; that th tions and oe mango laws under which this election is being conducted were intended to perpetuate usurpation by de- priving people, and especially our naturalized citizens, of an opportunity to register and vote, and therefore, in the name of the citizens of New Orleans now in mass meeting, and of the people of the state of Louisiana, whose fran- chive bas been wrested from them by fraud and violenes, and all of whose rights and lid- erties have been outraged and trampled upon, we demand of W. P. Kellogg his immediate abdication. Tue Tereince Deep or A DrauxnkKarD—In- cendiarism and Suicide.—Special correspondence of the Baltimore American trom Westminster, Mid., Sept. Lith, gives the particulars of a ter- rible affair that had just occurred near Man- | chester, in that county. A German named Leonard Graeff, with his wife, lived on a val- uable little property belonging to bis wife, not far from Manchester. Graeit was an elderly man, addicted to liquor, and very abusive and cruel to his family. A sey of Manches- ad @ mortgage on the ¥, and being unable to get his wovey, commenced proceedings to foreclose the mortgage. This reemed to incense Gractf greatly, and he made many threats agalust both Everhart and bis own wife. On Thureday last be went to Manchester, and spent the day in drinking liquor, and repeating his throats of violence. He went home about dark, and shortly afterwards the citizsns of Manchester observed a bright light in that direction, ap- pearing asif a house was on fire. This pres- ently became a certainty, and a large crowd &t once hastened in that direction. On ap proaching Graeft’s, it was seen that his barn wason fire. Every effort was made to extin- guish the flames, but in yain. It was learned, after the fire was over, that Graeff, incensed at the prospect of having bis property sold, and preatly excited with liquor, had gone to his home on Lida 5 Manchester, and had then de- liberately set the barn on fire with his own band; after which, he started towards a large thicket @ little so A from the house, where he was subsequently discovered covered with blood, bis throat cut from ear to ear in the most hor- rible manner.

Hinman avd Lines, the commissioners ap 4 to low cate the new agency for Spotted Tail’s band of Indians, returned to the old agency on Septem- ber 3, after a thirty days’ trip down the White river and through the Black Hills. They deci- ded to locate the new agency near the head of Big White Clay creek, about eighteen miles east of the present site, but after Gen. King had examined the surrounding country he induced the commissioners to change the location to the head of Beaver creek, about ten miles south of the eld agency. A council was held on Septem- ber 7, and Spotted Tail expressed himself satis tied with the move to Beaver creek. The four companies of the 9th infantry that garrisoned the old agency moved to Beaver creek on Sep- tember sth. ‘The agency will be moved within thirty days. I accompanied the commissioners tothe Black Hills, and being an old miner, prospected care- fully for gold, but instead of finding gold hang- ingto the roots of the grass or filty specks to the pan, I could not obtain the color. The Sioux have consented to give up hunting on the Republican after this year, and will make their farewell hunt in about twenty days.
