HE ASSUMES COMMAND. The Streets Barricaded and a Renewal of the Contest Anticipated. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 14, 1874. In response to a call fora mass meeting tn Canal street this morning, to protest against the seizure of arms of private citizens, men began to assem- ble about ten o’clock, and by cleven o'clock the broad sidewalks of the great thoroughfare were filled for several squares. Many stores were closed and there was a very general suspension of business. Good order prevailed throughout, Ad- dresses were delivered and resolutions were adopted requesting the immediate ABDICATION OF GOVERNOR KELLOGG, and @ committee consisting of R, H. Marr, Chair- man, Jules Puyes, Samuel Chopin, Samuel Bell and J.M. Seixas were appointed to walt upon the Governor. THE CALL UPON GOVERNOR KELLOGG, The committee callea at the Executive OMice about noon. The Governor not being present, Brigadier General Dibble, of the Governor's staf, received the delegates. Mr. Marr, as spokesman, said they had called a8 @ committee to interview the Governor. General Dibble sald he would convey the intelli- Gence to the Governor. After # brief absence he returned and made a reply, which, at the request ol Mr, Marr, was reduced to writing, as lollows:— THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY, T have communicated with the Governor and he directs me to say to you that he must decline to receive any communication from a committee ap- pointed by the mass meeting assembled on Canal Street, He does so, | am insiructed to say, be- cause he has definite and accurate inormation that there are now assembled — several large bodies of armed men tn different parts of the city, who are met at the call which convened the mass meeting which you represent. He regards this as a menace, and he wiil receive no communication under such cir- cumstances, He lurthermore directs me to say that should the people assembie peaceably, with- out menace, he would deem it one of his highest duties to receive any communication trom them, or entertain any petition addressed to the govern- ment. I have received and answered you, gentle- men, a8 a inember o! his staif. HENRY C. DIBBLE, Brigadier and Judge Advocate General, Louts- jana State Militia, STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE. To which Mr. Marr orally replied as follows:— We repeat that there are no armed rioters, there are no armed men on Canal street, so faras we Know. We come on a mission of peace, and we believe that if tue Governor had acceded to the proposition we brought to-day, which was to abdi- cate, it would have pacified the people 01 Louisiana and might, or would have, prevented violence or bloodshed. So far as we are concerned, we are prone red to pledge to him no violence in person and property, and we feel in a position, on the contrary, to assure him that there should be per- fect immunity to both. The substance of the foregoing reply was subse- quently, by Mr. Marr's request, reduced to writing by the Governor's private secretary, and handed to him to read at the mass meeting. General Dibbie, on the part of the Governor, re- Plied:— THE GOVERNOR'S RESPONSE. Thave to repeat what I said belore, that while there may be no armed men on Cauai street, there are armed bodies Within a short distance assem- bled on the same call a5 your mass meeting. The committee then retired, and soon after re- ported the resuit of this interview to the meeting. The people were then advised to go home, GET THEIR ARMS AND AMMUNITION, and return to assist the White League, who were then under arms, to exccute plans that would be arranged for them. The people then quietly dispersed. Afterward quite a large number formed in procession and marched up Camp street. PROCLAMATION OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR PENN.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE. stae of the citizens so far as has been ascer- | Fined at from Three Places--In- dignation of the People. Eat HISTORY OF THE PLOT Liwa, August 27, 1874. The would-be revolutionists have played one of their last cards, but the government gained the trick, On the 22d inst. a cowardly attempt was made to take the life of Mr. Pardo, the President of the Republic, which, thanks to Providence, sig- nally failed. For some days previously M. Pardo bad received anonymous communications warn- ing him of the existence of a plot to murder him, but having little faith in the power of his adver- saries, and being of a somewhat dogged disposi- tion, no attention was given to the subject. On Saturday, the 22d, news was brought to him, about four o'clock P. M., that several suspicious-looking groups had formed in the neighborhood of the Government Palace, and he was earnestly re- quested by his aides to avail himself of an escort and proceed to his private dwelling in a coach. Mr. Pardo firmly refused this advice, and at half past four sallied forth on foot, accompanied by two aldes-de-camp only. THE ATTACK, Ata distance of filty yards from the door of the palace stood a tall, stalwart individual, wrapped in a loose great-coat and leaning on the cannon marking the corner of the Portal ce Escribanos and the Calle de Correos, Ashort way out in the principal square were several squads of men, num- bering tn all probably thirty, and up the street leading to the bridge were two or three other loiterers, All of these parties were engagea in re- garding the approach of Pardo. No sooner had he arrived within four or five feet of the man at the corner than this desperado drew a revolver and fired point blank at the President, the ball passing: close to his ear. At this the policeman on duty struck the man over the arm with his club and with another blow prostrated him to the ground, Nevertheless, even while down he continued firing and by this time the confederates in the square and up the bridge street opened fire on the Presi- dential party, THE PRESIDENT’S COURAGR. M. Pardo behaved with extraordinary coolness and courage, advancing bravely toward his antag- nists, One o! the aides-de-camp precipitated bim- self on the fallen man, and another, with the assistance of Mr. 0. F. Davis, an American, who hurried to the spot, s¢cured a second conspirator. Alarmed by the firing, the guard of honor turned | Out from the palace and directed @ volley toward the groups on the Plaza. Convinced tnat the at- tempt had fatlea, the confederates fled in all direc- tions, and only leit tneir two captured comrades on the scene of action. injurea, the policeman was slightly wounded in the iace and one of the guards received a bail from the flying ruflians, This lasted about three | minutes in all, but the effect on the population was extraordinary, ALARM OF THE CITIZENS. At the report of the first snot all the shopkeep- ers rushed as one man to put up their shutters and bar tneir doors, The alarm passed like & wave down the principal streets, through the | portals of the business portion of tne town, arrived at the sections occupied almost ex- clusively by dwelling houses, and in five minutes the city presented the appearance of a sealed Not a door nor a window remained open. | All this was done without any certain knowledge | of what had occurred. The only report fying trom | mouth to mouth was that the President had been | Killed. The truth was not known to any save those in the immediate vicinity of the scene of the affray. The coaches poured out of the Plaza in all the disorder by knocking down and running over every one found in their paths, TRIBUTES OF A GRATEFUL PROPLR. The President, quite unmoved, witnessed the enthusiasm of the people, who, now acquainted with the circumstances, came flocking trom all sides to cheer and salute him. With diMcuity he j entered his carriage, and the populace could hardly be deterred from taking out the horses and drawing the vehicie by hand to the residence of | M. Pardo. Troops were instantly put in motion, and patrolled the streets; at the artillery barracks | the brigade was placed under arms, ana several mitrailieuses were made ready for any emergency. But no further disturbance of any deseription oc- curred, THE CHARACTER OF THE ASSASSINS. The prisoners were quictly taken away to the | guardhouse and given over to the proper civil | authorities, who instantly proceeded to reduce | their statements to writing. From these contes- sions, evidently made with the object of currying | favor, it appears that all of the conspirators, some sixty in number, are military men on half pay or on the retired list, who had determined to assas- sinate the President, throw the whole city into confusion, attract to their cause the numerous ad- venturers always ready for such occaslons, and, *finatly, call upon the people to follow them in their battle for “religion.” By this means they hoped to taentify themselves with the Church parties now at loggerbeads with the administration, Up to the present writing some twenty have been captured. NO SYMPATHY WITH THE CRIMINALS. The plan, if the great crime proposed had been carrted into effect, would have proved a@ feariul faiiure, judging from the attitude immediately as- sumed by the people toward the President, and the murderers would, doubtless, have met at the hands of the enraged populace the same terrible fate as did the Gutierrez in 1872, all the news- papers of the city, opposition as well as minis- terial, appeared with editorials condemning the attempt tn unmeasured terms. It is supposed that General Machuea, an ambitious old Indian, is the prime mover in the affair, but as yet his par- | ticipation has been carefully and artiully con- cealed, THE PRESIDENTS THANKS FOR PUBLIC SYMPATHY. The President, on reaching his house, was called upon toreply to the manifestations of joy made by the crowd, and briefly said that, had the assassins been succesaiul, his death, though in itself of little importance, would have plunged the Repubite into all the horrors of anarchy and civil war, and that Providence, in protecting Peru from such misfor- tune, had extended her mantle over him. M, Pardo received visits of congratulation from the diferent munictpal corporations, the diplomatic corps, the oMficers of the army and navy, and, in fine, all well thinking men of public and private life, Who naturally would*regard such a cowardly assault with indignation, Mass meetings were held in the plaza, speeches made, all tending toward the even firmer establishment of peace, and the crowds separating invariably directed their steps toward the residence of the President, to cheer and shout themselves hoarse. TRE POLITICAL EFFECT. Looking at the subject ina political light the government consider that they have gained o great deal by the attempt in renewed power and popularity, and the opposition, while strongly denying any participation whatever in the would-be murder, perceive that their influence has decidedly decreased and that the people regard the leaders of the anti-ministerial party with suspicion and dislike, Evorything that 18 possible will be made out of the matter to the disadvantage of the op- ponents of the government, The houses of Con- gress named committees to wait on M. Pardo and congratulate him upon his escape, The commis. sion from the lower house was presided over by the acknowledged leader of the Qpposition, Dr this morning.
