Governor William Pitt Kelloge’s Organ Permits Governor McEnery to Speak Through It—The Conservative Gover= nor on the Coushatta Affair. The New Orleans journals of the 3d inst. are filled with particulars of “the Coushatta slaughter,’ details of which have appeared in the HEXALD. The most remarkable fact (worthy of note) in con- nection with the troubles in Louisiana is that the New Orleans Republican, tounded by the acting Governor, William P. Kellugg, formerly of the Eighth Illinois cavalry, opens its columns to Colonel Kellogg's old adversary, and gives him (Governor McEnery) & hearing. The Republican fails to recognize Mr. John McEnery officially, but introduces the letters of that gentleman thus:— The following note from Mr. McEnery does little more than change the venue in the case at issue between him and the Hepublican, The facc that he never addressed a meeting in Coushatta may be pleaded in bar of an indictment to that effect though in the court of equity the admission tha he had addressed the people of Lincoln and Baton Rouge parishes in language nearly similar to that charged against him would be enough to condemn ‘pim. When a popular leader, such as Mr. McEnery certainly is, stands up before an audience of unre- flecting men, strongly imbued with the spirit of revolt, and tells them they are justified in appeal- ing to brute force in @ case ambiguously staved, they are very apt to make an instant application and proceed without delay to ge theor: iuto practice. It is wrong to tell a mol that they may set themselves above the forms o! law in any case, Such advice almost in- variably leads to violence, and it really makes lit- tle ditfereuce whether it 1s given in one locality or another. The news is instantly carried to all points, and accepted by those to whom itis ad- dressed. Mr. Mcknery is reported to have coun- selled violence in a certain contingency, not only in Lincoln parish but at Baton Kouge, and the sound of his voice no doubt woke the echoes of Red Kiver, and assisted in leading unthinking men to the commission of a crime which makes humanity shudder to think of. Farthermore, he has had one opportunity to express disapproval of the McFarlane place massacre, which he did not embrace. It does not, by any means, follow that he approves it, but we think he ought to have spoken on the subject with emphatic condemna- tion. The following 1s his note:. New Orueans, Sept. 2, 1874, To rae E:piror or THe Rervsiican :— My attention has been attracted to the following para- Graph in your issue of to-day, to wit:— “In response to an inquiry as to Red River parish, Mr. McEnery (who add ublic meeting at Coushatta ‘about two days pre ¢ disturbance at that point) claimed that the citizens of that pai riven out men of the most obnoxious character, and that owing to nis early departare, he was denied the honor of co-oper- ating with the mob, about the conduct of which our read- ers have already received ample details. Not one word did John McEnery utter in reouke of the murder of the surrendered, detenceless citizens ot Coushatta by aliens Of the parish, and, it is alleged, of the State.” ~Tnis is & gross misrepresentation of my speech last night to the mass meeting assembied in this city.

THE TRANSFIGURATION ON THE MOUNT, The Christian's Duty To Be Where Tears and Breaking Hearts Are. THE “MUTUAL'S” LITTLE GAME. Boston, Sept. 6, 1874. Everything seems to indicate that most deter- mined efforts are being made to pour ot! on the turbulent waters of the Beecher-Tilton scandal. How far these efforts will avail, however, is an unsettled question just at this time. The end which is sought by Mr, Beecher and his friends is to prevail upon Mr. Moulton to forbear publishing any further statements about the offensive affair; but it has not yet transpired that the “Mutual Friend” will consent to remain silent. He feels keenly the position in which he has been placed before the community, and it will probably require considerable coaxing to bring abou’ a promise of silence. His statement is understood to be already prepared, and is only held back to await such overtures as may be made by Mr. Beecher or his friends, For several days, until last evening, Mr. Moulton bas been stopping at the Tremont House, and he is only absent now to spend Sunday at Lowell with General Butler, his friend and counsel. During his sojourn at the Tremont he has been much of the time engaged with James Redpath and other prominent friends of Mr. Beecher. Mr. Cleveland, one of the Plymoutn church committee of investi- gation, has also arrived at the Tremont, fresh from Mr, Beecher and the White Mountains, and it is surmised that he comes as the specially author- ized friend of this distinguished pastor. THE FIRST MEETING between Mr. Moulton and Mr. Cleveland after the latter’s arrival in the city was in the dining room of the Tremont, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Uleve- land was with his wife and Mr. Moulton was din- ing with @ party of frends at an adjacent table. Moulton fixed his keen, gray eyes upon Cleveland, and the latter looked up and bowed most affably, whereupon Mr. Moulton rose and went over to Cleveland. the gentlemen bowed politely and resumed their separate seats, but the walters had caught the name of Moulton from Cleveland’s lips as he grected him, and in an amazingly short space of time every eye in the room was directed toward Moulton ana his party, who soon passed out of the room and were seen to enter Red- path’s Lyceum Bureau. Subsequently, in a con- versation with Mr. Redpath, the “Mutual Friend” remarked, concerning the publication of HI3 SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT, that he did not feel himself at liberty at present to’express the conclusion at which he had arrived. First, he said he had not definitely determined what he should do, and secona, he aid not consider imself at liberty to vate his conclusions, if he had arrived at any. Concerning Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, he said he should adopt the course toward him that he recommended to Theoaore Tilton, and to him he said, ‘Bacon’s influence is too limited to deserve notice and his spirit too mercenary.” Continuing, Mr. Moulton saia, “If I am as bad as he pictures me, notice of what he says cannot possibly help me, and if I am better his comments cannot possibly make me worse. Iam content to stand now asI have for four years’—bere the Teporter fancied he detected a change in Mr. Moulton’s tone of voice—“with entire sympa- thy and purity of motive, representing the hope of Plymouth church.” Regarding the attack Beecher had made upon him Moulton said that yesterday he learned from a member of the commit- tee, probably referring to Mr. Cleveland, that he (Beecher) had not made any attack upon him and that the so-called attack was only THE SPECIAL PLEA OF LAWYERS and not Mr. Beecher’s production. Referring to an assertion which has been made tnat when the expected statement appears it wil: show Butler to have been the Iago of the whole business, Mr. Moui- ton remarked that General Butler has labored more zealously and judiciously for the interests of Ply- mouth church and its pastor, and, at the solicitation of both its pastor and his counsel, than any legal adviser connected with the painful business of the Investigation, and that he will be found to have been neither the lago nor the Othello in the Plymouth play, inasmuch as he has been neither the betrayer nor the destroyer of Desdemona Being asked to give his opinion about the conduct of the Plymouth church congregation on the even- ing when the report of the committee was made he replied to Mr. Redpath as tollows:—*Well, it has al- most passed out of memory, and on account of my regard forthe pastor 1 forgive the conscientious vulgarity of his flock. I think it was an expression of liberality on their part when they magnanimousiy offered to ‘give me hell.’ Perbaps at some {u- ture day 1 may be enabled to do as much for them. Iremember that the only person who touched me on that occasion was a police captain, who said, familiarly, ‘You’d better follow me, Frank,’ and aiterward rode on the step of my carriage over to my house. THE MOB SPIRIT was in theireyes and in thelr mouths; but they can be excused for leaving me unmolested, be- cause their numbers were so very disproportion- ate. Their words were very abusive, but a way was opened for me to pasg out, I remember.” Moulton will retarn to Boston from Lowell to- morrow and tt ts probable that some definite ac- tion will be taken concerning the publication or suppression of the statement which has been pre- pared. I hear it rumored that Mr. Beecher himself may possibly be here during the week. TILTON’S “NO SURRENDER.” At a late hour last night a Hera. reporter called at Mr. Tilton’s house, in .ivingston street, Brooklyn. Mr. Tilton was athome. The following conversation took place:— RerorteR—I am giad to see, Mr. Tilton, that your present looks wholly contradict the reports of your worn appearance and tll-health, Mr. TILTON—I was never in better health, though (smiling) you gentlemen of the press will make me out haggard, pale and seedy.

It 13 estimated that about a thousand persons were brought by these several trains. Ot carriages, bringing worshippers from localities not on tne lines of the railways, there were at least eighty, of all descriptions, Not only was the immense parlor filled to over- flowing, and packed more closely, if possible, than ordinarily, but the corridors within hearing dis- tance were crowaed, and at the windows of the rooms on the piazzay as many were guthered as or seg his face, while others in large numbers were unable to get near enough either to see or to hear.

Exeursion of the Steamer to Bostos— Surprise of the Excursionists—Events of the Voyage—An Average of Fourteen and a Half Nautical Mil an Hoar. Boston, Sept. 6, 1874. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer City of Peking arrived off this port this evening at eights o'clock on her third great excursion, the object of this one being to test to speed, machinery an® seagoing qualities of the ship Mesara, John Roach & Sons, the builders, pre- Jerred to have her thus tested before send- ing her on a voyage. The Peking’s visit here 1s surprise even to the members of the excur- sion, The announcement beiore departure (rom New York was that the vessel would make an ex cursion of forty-eight hours to sea and return. Alter leaving New York bay the excursioniste learned that there was a Boston piloton board, and an inquiry of the managing director elicited the fact that the expedition would go to Boston, if wind and weather permitted. She now les ten miles off and will come up in the morning. THE VOYAGE. The Peking left her dock in the North River at 12:15 P.M, Saturday, passed Sandy Hook at 2:40 P.M. and Fire Isiand light at 6:15 P.M. At 2:35 P.M. she passed tue National line steamer The Queen, which left her dock a few minutes before the Peking. The Greece, which left an hour ahead, was passed at 3 P. M., and the Utopia, which satied at 11 A, M., was passed at 7 P.M. The steamers City of Richmond, Repubile, and China, which sailed soon after the Poking, were all spars down astern at 6:30 P. M.
