Opening the Campaign in Newark— Enthusiastic Ratification of the Nomi- mation of George A. Halsey for Gover- nor. ‘The republicans of Newark met im large nom- ‘Ders in the Opera House there last night, for the purpose of rafifying the nomination of George A. Halsey, their nominee for Governor. The stage apd front of the gallery were neatly decorated with fags. Over the stage was hung a hanasome oi portrait of Mr. Halsey, under whicn was sus- pended the motto, on a white ground, “Our Next Governor, George A. Halsey, of Essex.” Noticeable among the bunting dis- Played was the Irish national standard— the “Harp‘of Erin.’ Occupying seats on the stage in the rear were a large number of leading Jocal republican partisans and officials. The meet- ing was called to order shortly after etght o’clock by City Counsel Francis. Alter requesting those 4m the rear of the parquet to come forward and fill the vacant seats in front and in the gallery, Mr. Francia proceeded to deliver himself of a short speech, in which he expressed priae at being pres- ent to help open the campaign; spoke of the good record of the party, and dwelt upon the public and Private virtues of Mr. Halsey, the nominee. He then introduced as chairman of the meet- img Mr. Phineas Jones, one of the Es- sex county Assembly delegation. Mr. Made a short speech, suitable to occasion, after which a loca) band, half vocal and half instrumental, periormed two spirited airs, evoking a storm of applause a: the close of the Qrat. Then were read by Mr. Francis a list of Jones | the | that the circulating medium may be expanded or con- tracted according to the demands of commerce and .Fifth—That the democratic party, by its uniform oppo- tion to the tmprovement of our harbors and our great onal water courses, has shown itself incompetent to jeal with the vitally important question of cheap trans- portation and all interval improvements; that cheap and prompt wi of the products of inausts should be pr tional and Stale gove: ments hy appropriate legislation. eth—That we heartily tndorse the present republican ongress in repealing the law incresspe official sala- ries, in reducing expenses by mure than $20,000,000; in fu sisting all fer ext ent of the Dist forming abuses generally, whereby the republican party has proved to be worthy of eoutinued support by the cople. p Ghenth—That the recent outrages and murders in the South, of which unoffending colored citizens have been victims, committed in pursuance of the ayowed purpose | of maintaining an exclusive white man’s governme demand aud hereby receive the indignant cond tion of the republicans of Ohio.

Hosmer, of Muskingum, ‘These are all repominations, except Johnson, who is nominated for the unexpired term of Juage Stone, resigned this day. The Convention then adjourned, GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING. A grand ratification meeting was held here to- night, ater the convention haa dispersed, It was very largely attended and tne enthusiasm ry ; earth wi Heat | proved faithful—equal to the requirements of eighty vice presidents and forty secretaries, rep- | resenting all the wards and townships in the | county of Essex, in which ‘“honorables’? figured Jargely. Among the secretaries was Mr. John u’Fake, a highly respected colored citizen of | Newark. Chairman Jones introduced EX-SENATOR A. G. CATTRLL. These approved of by the meeting, | On coming forward Mr. Cattel! was applauded. | Me commenced by recurring to the unanimity of the Vonvention which nominated Mr. Halsey, and of the gracefai manner in wnich all the other can- @idates had withdrawn in his favor, and had got into a warm eulogy of “our next Governor,” when Mr. Halsey appeared on the stage. man’s presence was the signal for vociterous cheering; and, in response to cries of «Bring him out) bring him out!’ he came forward and madea brief speech, thanking his fellow citizens tor the high distinction he had been shown in trenton, ex- pressing his confidence that victory would crown the efforts of the party, and promising, if elected Gevernor, it would be his aim anda ambition to serve his jellow citizens for the best interests of the State. amid loud applause. Mr. Cattell then resumed his specch and said that Mr. Halsey’s presence was better than any speech he could make. (Applause.) It was writ- ten that a prophet was never honored in his own country. In case it was shown that he was most honored where he was best known. The speaker then went into an elaborate complimentary otice of Mr. Halsey, saying that m Washington e Was regarded as the model revenue officer of the country. Mr. Boucwell chose him as Register in the Trensury Department. He was a man of spotless integrity, of deeds and not words; 9 man who represented not only the republican party of New Jersey, but of the country, He then pro- ceeded to Speak of the achievements of the repub- Yean party—the war, amnest) ‘erty to the slaves and giving them political and having furnished the world “the highest type ef democratic government.” He said that the mission of the republican party was. not ended; that no much virtue and opposition and a few slipshod republicans said the mission of the republican Lepied was ended, that did not make itso. Regarding inflation and the tariff, he said that since the war the party had distinguished itself by stern resistance to infla- rights, ‘That’ gentle- | He here bowed himself to the rear | to the rebels, lib- | ty ever formed embraced so | cet and that though the , , tion and by preserving & tariff for the protection | of home industries. He closed by promising that Mf lower Jersey would do its share as weil as upper Jersey Mr. Halsey would be elected. (Applause.) UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY A. Q Keasby, of Newark, was the next speaker. He said that for two years past they had been told . that the mission of tne republican party was ended, and sometimes some republicavs thought so. If that was so it seemed to him that there were present a great many who, by their pres- ence, did not think the mission of the republican party fulfilled. It seemed to nim that at least they had one great mission to perform, and that was to elect George A. Halsey. (Applause.) They did not nt the election of Mr. Halsey for the grati- of personal ambition or for the the oifices, but to ‘ry out the principles of the republican party. ‘The mission of the republican party was not ended. A party founded on an impure basis could not last, though M% might temporarily succeed. A_ party which would bulid a party on the imfamy of slavery could not last. it would crumble as crumbled Babel. A arty Which sought to extend human rights would ind that its mission never ended. It woula be unreasonable to expect that a ike the work of the republican party sould be done m a day, ‘They did not mean to give up power, though the gates of hell should prevail against them. When le read of tne infamous outrages in the South he ¢elt that the heli hounds of blood had been loosed. There were rumors of wars of races in the Sou f these came on it was certain that the mission of the puolican party wasaot ended, and that mission- aries would yet have to go down there with some- thing more than gpifitaal weapons. (Applause.) There were mistakes made, no doubt, by the ireedinen of the South, but these were simply What the Soutn brought on itself by its rebellion. There were abuses in the South, but it was the migsion of the republican party to remedy them by wise legisiation, ‘here was much to preserve and other worlds to conquer. public credit and bring back the country 10 specte work Dayments. They had also to build up the Davy, wo that the fag of the country might not be insuired with impunity. Above atl, they must thorenghly investigate ail trauds and romote Mtegrity im oficial trusts. (Applause.) In conciusion Mr, Keasby spoke enthusiastically of Mr. Halsey and of the State Convention resolu. tion, stating that the party was in favor of estab- lishing a port of entry at Jersey City. He went imto this latter subject so extensively wivh dry record, quotations, &c., that the audience thinned out visibly. £x-Congressman Hill followed with one of his ‘hearty, (armer-like talks, and the meeting closed With rousing cheers Jor Halsey and victory.

He spoke as foilows:— EX-GOVERNOR NOYES) ADDRESS. MY FELLOW CITIZENS—The republican party of Ohio, conscious of the integrity of its purposes, | feeling a just pride in contemplating its past achievements, has to-day flung its banner to the breeze again, and now calis upon its iriends to rally once more under the old flag. it is not neces- sary for @ party which has confessedly done so much good to claim that it bas made no mts- takes, or that all of 1ts members, leaders and sub- ordinates have been above reproach, There never was a political organization on the tace of the after fourteen years of governmental control, could justify such pretensions. We make no such claim, But we do assert and maintain that the republican party, a8 a whole, has been pure, patriotic, intelligent and efficient. It has | been tried as no other ever was tried, and has | every emergency. After reviewing the history of the republican control of the government up tothe present day, the Governor said :— THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF THE DAY are:— ‘The management of the finances of the country. Cheap transportation in tne interest of both pro- ducer and consumer. The thorough pacifieation and development of the prosperity oi the Soutn. The civil rights of the colored people, and ‘Yhe promotion of such moral reforms as are necessary for the public good. And it is for the country to determine whether the republican party, which has already done so much), is betser prepared to master these impor- tant matters, or the democracy, which nas done | “nothing and attempted nothing in all these years, exept to embarrass the best efforts of the admin- istration. THY DEMOCRATIC FINANCIAL MUDDLE.. The democracy have held their State conven- tions this year in Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohto, Indi- ana, Illinois and Missouri—one Eastern and five of the great Central States; and inasmuch as they are clamoring to overthrow the present system of financial management it 18 worth our while to inquire what they pro} and offer in its place, i there is substantial agreement among the mem- | United States, bers of a party so large as thator the opposition their theory deserves a candid and deiiberate con- sideration. But let us see. ‘The Democratic State Convention of Maine declared in unequivocal terms lor absolute free trade and direct taxation. ‘These democrats by the sea will tolerate no tariff whatever—protective, revenue or otherwise; | they would abotiam the duties on imported | luxuries, which yield us $50,000,000 a year, | and the internal taxes on liquors, beer and tobacco, which give us $100,000,000 more, and levy upon your farms and homes for revenues to carry on the government and defray its necessary expenses. The Democratic Convention of Penn- sylvania ts for once silent upon this Gees though it is well Known that the democracy of that State are in favor of @ protective tariff, and they have heretofore so declared. Missouri, Ohio and Indi- ana democrats, according to the resolutions of eir conventions, favor # tariff for revenue only, id, by necessary implication, are opposed to the direct taxation proposed in Maine. The Ohio and Indiana conventions declare for inflation of the currency to meet wnat they are pleased to term the demands of the business interests of the coun- try, while Missouri, Ulinois and. Pennsylvania democrats are tor the early resumption oi specie payments. Qhio, Indiana and Missour! democrats would pay off the bonds in greenbacks, whiie their brethren in linots ate gntspoken in favor of payment in it, a the democ- racy in New York and the other Eastern States are understood to sympathize with the Mlinois declaration. "The democracy of Ohio, in the third resolution of their platiorm, denounce national banks, aud propose that the government itselt shali become one grand banking institution, issu- ing and regulating all the currency of the country, and leaving it in the power oi politicians in Uon- gress, or ol the officers of the Treasury, to control the money market, to change vatues, to interfere with legitimate private enterprise, to influence | eloctions, to disappoint the reasonable expec tions of trade and commerce, to render business transactions uncertain and hazardous, to imperil | investments, and, generally, to overturn that stability and settled policy which are necessary to fhe prosperity of our people. In other Stites, | where the democracy oppose the national banks, they seem to contemplate a return to the old scandalous system of State and wiid-cat banks, under which no man Knew the value of the note in his pocket without a bank note detector, and then only for a short period of time. I appeal to every intelligent man in my sudience to say whether more insane financial schemes were ever pro- jected in this country, and whether a greater muddle was ever known than that into which the | opposition have fallen in their wild reaching for straws to save them from drowning. No two States agree, and the leaders of the party in no one State harmonize. Senator Thurman, who, until recently, was understood to be the leader of his party, not only in Onio but in the nation, adheres to the old Jackson doctrine, is opposed to an irredeemable currency: and in favor of a re- turn to specie, while Governor Allen, tne new leader, who, by his own admission in the Conven- on last week, 1s before the people as a candidate for the Presidency, 1s in favor of inflation, and believes the present volume of currency to be in- sufficient to do the business of the country. And | so the Convention declared. And this is the great national organization that, with divided counsels on allimportant money questions, with its crude opinions and wiid schemes, proposes to suppiant | the republican party, and which promises to the people of the United States individual prosperity and fortune out of the conflict, contusion and chaos which would follow its accession to power. Can it be trusted before it presents a theory of | finance which will command the respect, while it | challenges the criticism. of thoughtiui men ¢ GRADUAL SPECIE RESUMPTION. While the leaders of the adiainistration party do not entertain opimions precisely identical as to minor details, they are substantially agreed as to all important and Vital issues. While they ree nize the propriety and necessity which existed during the war for the issue ‘of a volume of cur- rency that could not at the time be made redeem- able in coin, yet they believe in the ancient demo- cratic doctrine that gold and silver are the money ol the world and the fixed standard of value; they believe that the normal coudition of a solvent and prosperous country is to have tts currency inter- changabie jor, and of equal vaiue with, gold hey oppose any andevery movement which is calcti- lated to postpone the day when im the Uniied States a five dollar bill shall be worth and will buy a five doliar plece of gold; they believe that | wiien that time shall come, the fluctuations of trade and in all business aftuirs will be diminished in frequency and exten that | while stock gambling and reckless speculation may find fewer opportunities for robbing the people, legitimate transactions will prosper bet- ter, and both capitaland labor will have a sur foundation on which to rest; they do not believe the time has come for a return to specie payments, would they do it precipitateiy and tmme- | diately, but graduatly and m such time as will creaté no violent shock to business nor interrupt | the ordinary course of affairs. To this end, while | the amount of currency should be kept within the | hiait heretofore fixed—namely, $382,000,000—con. “ron is Not necessary; but the growth of the , aud above all, dnd more than all, the in- | of public confidence, will hasten the tune | | we hope for without interfering with the pros- | { | hean | perity of any class or condition of men. We shall have little use for gold when we know | we can get it, And in order that this confidence may be telt at home and abroad the repub- | party is im lavor of majntaining the houor and good faith of the nation untarnished and inviolate. We believe in paying the debts of the country, precisely as honest men pay theirs, exactly in accordance with existing contracts. It has long been understood between the bondholder and the bondmaker that our bonds are payable in gold, This agreement should be carried out to the letter, whether these’ securities are owned by na- tional banks and foreign capitalists, or by the farmer and mechanic, Who have purchased them out of their hard earnings; the guardian who holds them for his orphan wards and the widow who is helped to live by the sale of her coupons. If we higgle about this and discredit the bonds by mak- ing the manner and measure of their payment doubtful, we put of indefinitely the day of currency redemption, THE NATIONAT, BANKS. We are also of the opinion that the national banks have been of great utility to the people. ‘They baye furnished us with @ Dpiform and sale | me to interpret his intentions better than others, currency, good everywhere; safe for the note holder, because the government stands behind the bank bill; safe for the government, because 1b is secured by a deposit of its own bonds, The cry that we pay interest to the banks on the bonds they hold ts a8 senseless as the other vharges made for the purpose of creating distrust. The panks buy their bonds to the market as other purchase: do, and they cost us no more in thelr hands by Way of interest than they would in the possession of Other holders, Bonds were issued to enable us to raise money, and the government was giad to have the banks buy them ata time when certain classes im the country were denouncing and discrediting — them. Suppose we shonid do what the Onio Democratic Con- vention recommends—wipe out the national banks, and id4sue currency in the place of national bank notes directly irom the Treasury of the We now have in circulation $82,000,000 of greenbacks, for the present irre- deemabie, bat rapidiy approximating to the vaine of gold, If we add to this depreciated paper an equivalent jor the national bank circulation, $454,000,C09, by a further issue of greenbacks, as Senator Morton well says in his Terre Haute speech, we (urther depreciate the value of the currency aad render the resumption of spect Payment impossibie, Whenever the national banks Shall cease to be useful, or whenever anything better than these institutions shall be suggested by the democracy or anybody else, the republican party wiil be ready to adopt_the new eystem; but ‘hey do not deem itexpedieut to discard that which’ has worked well until something better is matured and presented. Whether hereaiter, when specie payments shall have been resumed, & sys- tem of free banking may not be possible and ad- visable, Is matter ior future determination, and ‘eserves to be well considered, LET OUR TROUBLES CORRECT THEMSELVES. Last year we were overtaken by a financial crisis and panic, occasioned by the jailure of certain gigantic railroad schemes and the bankruptcy of @ few large commercial houses; tnese failures in- volved some of the banks, and embarrassed or ruined a considerable number of business men; confidence was shaken everywhere; banks closed their doors for @ time, and debtors were unable to discharge their liabilities, If to these troubles had been added the evil of such 4 currency as was in use before the war, Who can estimate or limit the disastrous consequences to the country? As it was, about the only evil effect has been to ren- der business dull and profits small. And this has been in part compensated by the introduction of economical gabits among the people, and of more conservative practices among business men, The enormous {ruitiulness of the present year Is call- ing the money out of the banks where it had ac- cumulated, and is ecattering it over the country where it 1s needed; business is reviving again, and if we simply hold things as they are, witaout any violent changes, our troubles will correct themselves, labor will be well rewarded, and capi- tal employed with reasonable profit, OUR REVENUES, As to whether we shall have a protective tari, a revenue tariff or none at all, I desire only to say | that there has never been a party in power in this government which dared or proposed to raise our entire revenues by direct taxat on. A revenue taruf, such as will supply us withithe amount of money required, is suMcient lor all purposes, It will incidentally protect in spite of principles or Dames, and it should be 80 adjusted as to bring us the largest possible returns, without fostering mo- nopolies or oppressing the masses. To settie how and Wat it shall be requires judgment and expe- rience. This I understand to be the republican doctrine upon this subject, and it in no way differs from the practices of tne democracy when in power. TRANSPORTATION. Another important matter een Rie She atten- tion of the government ts that of cheap trans- portation. All classes of citizens and all sections of the country are interested in this subject. New England, chiefly devoted to manufactures, and purchasing annually irom the West more than @ hundred million bushels of grain—the South, where the production of cotton, sugar and tovacco is more profitable than tne raising of cereals, and whose purchasing capacity, at fair rates, ought to be two hundred million bushels of grain a year—the great West, and especially the grain procucing States of the Mississippi Valley, which send to market more than three hundred million bushels a year —all these want cheap trans- portation for the benefit of producer and consumer alike. Our exports of grain have heretotore amounted to but little—less than perhaps twenty- tive million bushels a year—but these exports are now rapidly increasing. ‘The hope, however, of our iarmers is im the home market, aud the problem is how to reach it without doubling and trebling the cost of our products. It is proposed in the best manner to protect the farming and mechanical interests of the country without op- pressing or wronging railroad corporations. ‘this can be done in various ways; by improving the nat- ural and constructing artificial water wa: by es- tablishing competing railways when necessary and possiply by fixing rates on existing jines if the courts permit, At all events the republicans in Congress can be safely trusted to do the best thing available whenever it can be determined what thatis. Ido not jom in any wild cry about rail- roads, They have done too much for this country vo Warrant it. ‘hey should be fairly deait with and properly controlled in the mterest of the people. JUSTICE IN THE SOUTH. One of the important questions of this time ts the pacification and development of the prosperity of the South A reign of terror exists in many parts of the South and aniess a check shall be speedily put upon these disturbances a war of races Is inevitable, Let the democracy once more get control of our government and the South will be again drenched in blood, as 1t was from 1861 to 1865. 1 beg every lover ol his oountry, every iriend of ‘humanity ‘who woula deplore such svits, to stand firmly by the party in powe' in the tmterest of good order and res. W ‘Uesire nothing oUt the welfare of the South. We Would be more than just, we would be more than generous to her people, but we cannot look calmly on while they destroy each other. The colored people, oppressed and degraded trom generation 10 generation, are ignorant and pooriy qualtfled for the exercise of their newly acquired rignts. They sorely need opportunities for educatio: culture. When separate schools can be maintained it is undoubtedly better that the two races should be kept apart; it would be more satisiactory to both, All we insist upon 1s, that somehow and somewhere every colored child in the land shail have THE ADVANTAGE OF FREE SCHOOLS. I see it somewhere stated that only seven per cent of the people of Massachusetts can- not read or write, and that recent stwtistics show that cighty percent of all tne crime in the State is committed by this seven per cent. We all | know that education contributes to virtue and good order. ‘Yo keep in ignorance a large class 6} our fellow citizens is the most short-sighted | policy, and 1s suicidal in its tendency. It | is the genius of this country to give | every man a fair chance in life, whether | he be foreign or native born, black or white. And yet we find the democracy of Ohio in the exercise of their hatred, appealing to the passions and prejudices of ignorant white men, for special | privileges to some, and for a denial of right to others, The republican party stands jor the equality oj all citizens betore the law, and especi- ally does it care jor the poor and toiling masses. As it opposed slavery, so it Opposes monopoly and oppression oi every sort. ‘The colored man should be permiited to eat and sleep and travel whither- soever he will, entitled to the same privileges as others, and protected by the same law that is over us all. LIQUOR LICENSING, | The republican party is in tavor oftemperance, as | it 18 of morality in other forms, As a party, repuoli- cans have not gone to the extreme limit of prouibt- tion, for the reason that some have | doubted the possibility of success, and others | have deemed it imexpedient. But what | temperance legislation we have has been given us by the republican party, while | the democrats would, if tney dared, remove all re- | stricttons, and allow absolute tree trade in iiquor. It would be weli tor our prohibition friends, now | that license has been killed with the new consti- tution, to remember this. They possibly hoid the balance of power in this State, and can decide at the bailot-box whether the party of temperance, which, however, does not go quite so far as they do, soall be placed in power, or whether the ene- mies Of their cause shall be suostituted im places to uudo ail the good that has been uc plished, GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY, Our friends of the opposit jon seem to be greatly exercised lest Goneral Grant should be the choice of the republican party for a third term, and they baye an alaroung resolution on that subject. It is only to be wondered they did not resolve that the good of the country imperatively demanded they should be commissioned vo select our candidate for us. ‘The only anxiety wluch republicans need feel about it 1s lest the democracy, considering tue popularity and excellent administration of Gen- Grant, may attempt to appropriate him as | cir own candidate, have never enjoyed an intimacy with the President, which would enabie | | nor am | authorized in any way to speak for min but T know him to be # man of profound good common sense. He speaks littic, but listens well, observes carejully and thinks profoundly, fle 1s as well aware us our. democratic friends, of the | deep-seated prejudice ot our people against vio- lating precedent and custom by the elevation of | Any man, however popular, to the Presidency lor atiirdterm. I have no doubt he quietly enjoys the apprehensions of his enemies, and that at the proper time he will set their hearts at rest by re~ Uring irom tis high position, leaving a grateful country the rick legacy of his distinguished ser- vices tor four years in time of war, and tis em- nently success(ul adwinistration ior eigit years in time of peace, PARTY TIES. In conclusion, permit me to say that, for reasons some of which Ihave stated to-night and others which will be discussed during the approacuing canvass, I firmly believe the good of the country requires that the republican party be continued in power. Twill only add that if ‘ail the people of Ohio who think the republican party ought to cop- tinue the administration of the government will take the trouble to vote this fall we shall elect our ‘Stace ticket, which bears the names of singularly unexceptionable men, and continue our ascen- dency in the Congress of the nation. Party ties in this country are not as strong as formeriy, for in- telligent men are veginning to think and act for themselves, without regard to party leaders. [n- deed, no man can be a leader who 18 not ip accord with the best and nighest sentiments of his con- Stituents. It now becomes all honest and upright citizens to take their stand for principle and right, looking forward witn contidence to # grand and prosperous career for the nation, and assured tha’ @ who does his duty fearlessly and saighfully wih | supported Mr. D.

Sharer Representations by Congressmen to the Attorney General — Proposed Confer- ence at Long Eranch—A Distribation of Troops Asked-—Kellogg’s Plottings in Louisiana—Is Violence Encouraged for Political Ends? WASHINGTON, Sept, 2, 1874, It hawbeen stated in these despatches jor several days past that Southern republican Senators and Representatives have arrived here to detail to the Attorney General the stories of insurrections and murders prevailing in their States. Prominent among these were Senators Patterson, of South Carolina; Spencer, of Alabama; Congressmen Hays, of Alabama; Mercy and Sypher, of Louisiana; and yesterday Senator West came here to present the latest information re- ceived by him by telegraph ‘rom Louisiana. Last evening he called upon Attorney General Williams at his residence, and after several hours of con- Jerence Senator West said that uniess the moral etiect of the presence of federal troops was _imme- diately brought to bear upon the White League and turbulent elements in his State the election would go by deiauit, because the negroes, as a class, unless assured of protection, would neither register nor vote, is CONFERENCE OF SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN. It was finally agreed that all the Soutuern mem- bers of Congress should assemble at Long Branch on Saturday nex: to coufer with the President, at which conference South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana will have @ full representation. The Attorney General said that there was not, in his opinion, a case justilying federal interference, ex- cept in the simple distribution of troops. Senator West said that the troops or tae rhird intan- * now stationed at Holly Springs, Miss., might have their quarters changed to the barracks in New Orleans, and cited the good effect which an increase of federal bay- onets had in that city by a similar movement during the Kellogg-McEnery trouble in the tall of 4 1872, The Attorney General favored this sugges- tion, and with this the conference ended, Judge Williams saying he would go to Long Branch at once and prepare the President for the request which the Southern Kepresentatives would muke on Saturday. 18 KELLOGG PLOTTING A COUP D’ETAT? From another and reliable source it learned that Governor Keilogg is apprehen- sive that the same movement may be inaugurated in New Orleans that exists in the parishes, relative to the presence of State officials, not excepting even the chiet State officers. ‘This fear was greatly aggravated aud increased by the inflammatory speeches made by McEnery and Eilis at the late mass meeting in New Orleans. The opinion obtains that Kellog and followers, fearing the result of a regu ar election, are provoking and turthering this state of things, preparatory to claiming that violence and intimidation deieated the republican party in Louisiana, hoping thus to make a case which will secure Congressional interierence next winter, and result in the recognition and maintenance of the present State government. is The Columbia Board of Trade Declaring Patterson’s Representations at Wash- ington Falsehoods—No Danger of an Outbreak.
