THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA. | Pennsylvania Ratiroad Iuterests TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR. The Twin Mountain correspondent of the Bos- south of imore. —<——$——_——— ton Courier has the following concerning the recreations and occupations of the great preacher at that place : When he came he was accompanied by mem- bers of bis family ceveral of whom had preceded him, others,followed. When once again stalled in bis eld quarters, which he bad occupted for tbree summers previous, the gay season was at its beight. Beecher was the observed of ail ob- servers. “For the greatest scandal waits on gteetest state,’’ apd his every movement was known to all the eyes that could possibly see m. His first afterncon found him at his old amusement, croquet, the proper clerical game, coat off, and truly enthusiastic, wautin; aways to win, w.th @ “hoop Ia,” as each arch wss made, nd an Indian club flourish as be won. He isa very good player, and his son is “no slouch” at the game; and when the Rev. Mr. Livermore, of Massachu:etts, was here—he can handle a mallet as deftly asthe rest—there were very many pretty, intere ting games, setting aside the frrepresuble interest which always attached to ore of the p'ayers. All the good-looking yeung ladies who could not play gazed in witless admiration. No beliet did they entertain of Tilton’s charges. Person ul contact with a man possessing such magnificent magnetic infinence as does Mr. Beecher, had totally removed—at least for a time —the slightest shadow of a suspicion against him, from natures so impulsively affectionate for greatness as are the riving generation of fashion’s tema'e foilowers. To each in the presence of others Mr. Beecher seemed alwavs to say:— ease yourselves unknown, ‘The lowes of your throng, Contequently every opportunity was sought for ction and “he” now knows every one. ‘One introcuction, witnessed by several, is worthy of note. It occurred one pieagant atternoou, ard while Mr. Beecber bowed, and the lady lcoked as swert as she knew how, that ever- lasting Twin Monurtain ess ‘Filled the air with barbarovs disunance.” Was it a comment on society's formula, or the motive that swayed the lady? i STORIES AND TIMEPIECES. Beecher spencs a good deal of his timeout of Goors talking, walking and occupied with his favorite game. Wheu in the house he is alway surrounded by the guests. If in the hotel's small fice, a few get behind and beside him; others crowd in front, and he tails bis anecdotes over the counter with a gosto that the frequent hearty laughs snrely attest. If he ts here story telling and chatting, he is surrounded by men, with occasionally a woman in his minute audi enee; if outside the office in the corridors, par- lors, or on the piazza, his audience is the re- verse—the inner circle always moropolized by the youngest of his admirers, who feast ou his countenance with the ence ot flies on sugar. His well told, heightened by bis intense dramatic expresticn and cutting sarcasm. About once a day be ‘solicited to compare watches, and he He willing, having a ‘handsome hunting se” that he is very proud of, and paid $4.) fer. He generaliy retires early, and on Satur- day be keeps to his room preparing bis Sunday sermon. He, however, comes down when the wril is distributed, and urually receives from twenty-five to fifty letters, as well as papers. UNDER RIS HAT. Many of the illustrated papers have pictured Beecuér fn a large siouch bat. He always wears 4 yellow linen hat, with stiff brim and sott top. This year it seems to set more down about bis eyebrows, even “that one may smile, and smile ard be a villain.” It may be accident that p’aces it eo low, but it vas not always thus Sunday eces the zenith of the interest, for then ‘he contract sermon, without which the fountain would not make such favorable terms with the preacher. An immense audi- ence usually gathers ir the decorated parlor, the guests of the house oceupying reserved seas in the family circle. E!lenwooa, Beecher s ste- nograpber, sits at a small table with the report ers, just beside the preacher. And with Beech- er’s under tlow of elojnence in ‘*words which rob the Hybla bees, and leave them honeyless,” it is pot turprising that his female auditors should be enthusiastic. Mrs. Tilton’s Letter. The Cincinnati 6 te (strongly partizan fi > Mr. Beecher) has the following editoria'ly in regard to the remerkable letter from Mre Tilton quoted by Tilton in hits last statement: “We happen to know something of the cir- cumstances under which the unvappy woman ‘ote thie stiecting appeal. She was visiting a teierd in Mariects,t9 whom she had told her wrongs and suficrings, aud to whom she pever once admitted any guilt, beyond confessing tha: het Leas. was divided between her pastor and her husband. This was at the time v7hen tre defenders of Tilton assert that his feelings to- ward his wiie were of a very tender kind. The etter proves that before this bis erratic courses and unples ant peculiarities of d'sposition had brought trouble into the family circle. With the sympathy and co operation of her iend the wrote the letter. As our readers ave seen, it has the eloquence, the extrava- ance, if one chooses to call it, which womanly ‘erver always gives such compositions, To eay the least, it deserved a kind reply, byt when the evswer came it was to brutal that Mrs. T"- on fainted on reading it. The husband, so far {com promising amendment, declared his right to do as he pleased, and his full intention of ex- ercising the right. Such is the history of the document which the friend of Clatiin and Woodhull plays as his trump card. We have unimpeachable evidence from oue who shared in its composition, that it was not designed to express any penitence except what a conecientious woman might feel for mere mental disloyalty to one who made no concealment of his own derelictions.”” ELEgOTION Excitement In Cosnecticut.— There was ich excitement in New Haven yesterday over the election of three members of the board of education and other mivor offices, owing to the report that a prominent Koman Catholic clergyman had announced from his pulpit that it was time for the Roman Catholics to act and get control of the board, so that their schools might be supported by the public tundr. A Catholic ticket was in the field. Two members of the present board are of that religious belief. The excitement called out @ vote of over five thousand. which was un- precedent2d in the history of New Haven schoo! elections. About 1,40 votes were cast fur the Catholic candidates. but they were defeated, and the regular nominees were elected by a majorily of about 1,500, cumulative system being used. Many Roman Catholics condemned the strong sectarian animus of the others, and refused to vote the Catholic ticket. DEATH OF AN ACCOMPLISHED Woman wHo Osce Dip THE Honogs iN THe WHITR Hovse. Eliza Mason, spinster,aged 73, died in the house if her nephew, Alexander Fielder, Brooklyp,on Saturday. During the greater part of the ad- ministration of President Van Buren she was his bousekeeper in the White house, and as he was a widower, and had no available female rel- atives, it devolved upon her to dispense the hos- pitalities of the Executive Mansion. She assist- ed in the reception of foreign legations and other ceremonial visite to the President.

The object of the copference wrs to arrange for joint super- vis'on and ¢ontrol of the elective machineis of November 11th. Everything appe-ently j ere: ed ratisiac'orily ual the question ef the composition of the ‘Returning Board” was reached. This board, which is the key to the whole elect‘ou scheme, consis*s of five members elected by the senate. The law provides that vacancies shail be fill 1 by remaining members of the board. The Kellogg ,petty ggoposed to create two vacancies which fould be filled by nomin cs of the democracy. Th‘s Mershal Proksrd states would not be agreed to by ‘he latter. They demanded that taree vacancies should be created, two to be filled by demes ard the third to be a gentlemae age<eal both factions. This demand was mo-t emphat- teally refused, and after a protracted debate, lest _pg until eveniog, a final adjovrnment was had. During @ subsequent conversation hal with Gov. Kellogg, Marehal Packard and other republicans, they stated that under no circum- stance would they recede from the stand they bad taken, and should their opponents algo re- main firm it was not lkely that another meet- ing of conference would be called. D. B. Penn, who led the conference on the pettof the southern element, stated that the vusaUsfactoty result of the conference would probably result in farther complic: wes rot improbable that there wo: shed in the perishes. Other democratic lead- ere expre-s the same belief. LAST NIGHT the democratic central committee and the White League held meetings at their clab rooms. The reportof the faiiure of the confer- ence committee was made, and it was resolved to hold further meetings this evening. The news irem the parishes is reassuring. There have been no seriovs disturbances, and no im- mcciate trouble is anticipated.

A New Orleans dispatch says that General Longstreet, commander in chief of Kellogg’s army, Says the state bouse and arsenals were surrendered for want of ammunition to defend them, and places the responsibility on Attorney General Field, who enjoined the militia appro- priation of £20,000, made by the last legislature. General Judge Dibble, in a letter *> the Pica- yune, says he fired two shots from a window in the custom house at these who deliberately fred at him while standing there looking on, but taking no part in the fight last Monday. A MIXED POLicE. A dispatch to the New York Times from New Orleans saye:—*To-day the full force of Metro- politan police were on duty in the city, Gov. Keiloge having adopted the remarkable policy of celecung from the White League element a number of men to take the places of those killed or wourded on Monday last.”” ALLEGED MEDDLING WITH DISPATCHES, A dispatch to the same paper from this city says:—“'A statement which seems to be weil supportcd, shows that a committee of citizens tock charge of the telegraph office early in the enflict, and exercived a sharp censorship over the dispatches for several days. It is said that this committee caused the files of the office to be examined, and copies made of many political dispatches, both official and private, that have passed during two or three years pact, and that the names of the committee have been commu- pieaied to the government authorities. Little doubt was entertained that the d‘spatches had been tampered with in some way, though the paiure and intent of the meddling were not known.”" THREATENED OUTBREAK OF COLOREP PEOPLE. A dispatch to the Tribune from New Orleevs, September 2), eays:—This morning a committee ap; ointed bya meeting of white pcople of Bayou Sara waited upon Gen. Emory ro rolicit protcction against a threatened out- break of negroes in that parish. The committee, which includes one of Governor Kellogg's ap- pointes to office, represent that the negroes out- nun. ber them eight to one, and that the officers cherged with keeping the peace are illiterate, prejudiced, and membersof oath-bound leagues, For some time past the negroes have been or- ganized and armed, and have been drilling ana practicing target firmg. A day ortwo ago a steamer landed for their use a large quantity of powder and buckshot. The whites have reason *) believe that these preparations are prelim!- nary to an attack upon them. Gen. Emory promptly acceded to the request by sending a commissioned officer and ten men, which the oo deemed a sufficient force, to Bayou Sara. PENnsyivania Coat Tkavs.—The total or bracite marketed for the week ending on the it amounted to 449,965 tons. The bi- tumiueus tonnage for the week is 61,665 tons. At Port Richmond for the week ending the 19th instant the receipts of coal were 33,000 tons, the shipments 44,000 tons, lcaving 57,000 tons on hand. The coal trade for the time included in ourtable sbows a considerable revival on that of the two or three previons weeks. The trade for the week which ended on the 19th instant will probably show lessened production, there having been some shortening of the supply of cars at the mines in order to justify differences existing between the several carrying comp: ese, it is nnderstood, have been so fi @ full supply of cars will be af- forded from this date to the end of the menth, and prob.bly to the end of the year. There is understood to be a fair supply of orders on the m-rket for coal.

He went to Wheeling over forty years ago, began his law career there, and has held an influential position at the bar. For many years he was the attorney of the Baltimore and Ohio road. He was also attorney general of the state of Vir- ginia under the restored government of 1361, bolding that position together with the office of adjutant general.

Tue Jeusey Insvugance Coysriracy— Justice Keese Explains why he Holds French for —Lewis FE. French, who was charged with attempting to defraud the rest- dents of New Jersey by establishing the spu- rious Palisade Insurancs Company, was he'd for trial by Justice Keese in Jersey City on Saturday. The Justice said that he did not doubt there was @ conspiracy in ths case. Among the papers of the company wero twelve mortgages, two assignments, and twelve bonis, each With a forged signature, and in addition an ackrowledgment fraudulently made, the makers of which were vot ip existence. The signatures were in a variety of bandwritings, and there must have been a notary before whom the acknowledgments were taken. Here was evidence of conspiracy. It remained to be ascertained whether Sacta and French were parties to it. On Sacia’s part, the evidences of fraud lay in the t that be had taken the mortgages to Mr. Chatfield for c3rtitication, and, upon Mr. Chatfield’s requirement, had taken affidavits from pretended mortgagors who had no existence.

New Yore, September 22.—The Herald pub- lishes a lengthy reply of Reverdy Johnson to inguiries from James Gordon Bennett ashing for bis views on the Louisiana dificalty. Mr Jobnson thinks the President erred in recog. nizing the Kellogg government originally, be- ing misled by the jadgment or decree of the United States district court of that state. The guection whether a state government is legiti- mately established, he says, is not a judicial, bat & political one, # was decided in the case of the Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island. Bat, having recognized the Kellogg government, whether right or wrong, the President's decision was final, and there was no legality or justifica- tion for @ resort to force or revolution pset it. The President was bound to put down such 0 attempt, and to restore the Kellogg govern- ment; but if any of the minor officers uader the heliogg government refuse or neglect to reas. sume their offices be says the Presid: power to compe! them he power fo appoint others to fill their places. Mr. Jobi son therefore thinks the best solution of the dif fieulty would be for both Kellogg and McEnery “nd the lieutenant governors under them to re- sigh and submit to a new election.
