Whatever the consequences may have been of refusing to reinstate Kel logg after he had been driven from office by the people,I know of nothing more dan gerous to society, nothing more subver sive of order, nothing more sure to pro voke revolutions and counter-revolutions, until our liberty becomes a Mexican liber ty, and the best title of government is the last pronnneiamento, than to have it assumed that a Federal judge can decree a State government into existence, have his decrees enforced- by the President of the United States with bayonets, and that then and thereafter the President is at liberty through all future time to recog nize and maintain that government, even if blood must be shed to compel the peo ple to endure it. The mere statement of such a proposition displays a monstrous absurdity. No argument or amplification I that I could use can add a feather's weight | to its refutation. But whether the peo ple of this country are awake to the dan gers that must follow such a precedent is 1 more than I know, although it is not I more than I hope. T think it moreover a full answer to the questions supposed, that . the President was driven to such an alternative as a recognition of the Kellogg government on the one hand, and the leaving of the State to a condition of anarchy on the other. The people had pnt McEnery into possession of the government under a claim of a better title, and there was a general submission to his .authority. He may not have had a perfectly valid title, bnt it is clear beyond qnestion that Kel logg had not the shadow of a legal title 'to the office from which the people bud I ejected him. Let it be granted that Kel logg was ousted by an insurrection which constituted n case of “domestic violence,” calling for investigation by the President on Kellogg’s application. The Presi dent’s first duty was to decide the quest!on of Kellogg’s title. If he had found, ns he must have found, that Kel logg had no title, the McEnery govern ment would have been left in possession, would have been a government de facto, with the general assent of the people, and if disturbances had arisen against it, rendering its appeal to the President necessary for its protection, its title would have been in tnm a matter for de cision by the Federal power. I mn see no ground for assuming that the State would have been without a government if Kellogg bad not been restored; nor can I assent to the objection that the acts of Kellogg, while acting as Governor, would have been invalidated if he had not been restored to the possession of the office. This is all that it seems to me to he necessary to say in answer to yourreqnest for my opinion on these occurrences. I remain, Mr. Bennett, yours, very truly, Geo. Ticknoh Ouhtis. have been hisdnty to-examine and de cide upon Kellogg’s title to the office, and his decision would have been conclu sive for that occasion until reversed by Congress. Bnt it appears from the Presi dent’s special. message of February 23, 1873, that what he did in December, 1872, was to direct the Marshal to enforce Judge Durell’s orders in Kellogg’s suit in equity, and, if necessary, to use the troops of the United States for that purpose. The effect of this was that, in the result, the Kellogg government was pnt in pos session by force; bnt the proceeding was not a constitutional recognition of the title of the Kellogg government, given in the only mode in which the President can act upon such a title—namely, when E. C. Anderson, Jr., A Co, volumes of .smoke rolled from the fac tory directly toward the heart of the city, threatening the place with destruction. A stiff breeze was blowing directly from the factory towards the densest and busiest portion of Milledgeville. Mr. Skinner and the male operatives fought the fire manfully, flooding the floors of the five stories of the main building with the water from a hnge reservoir in the top of the edifice. The fire companies soon arrived and poured a copious supply of water on the burning machinery, on the second story of the building. At length the herioc efforts of the fire companies and of the factory operatives resulted in quenching the fire, first in the main build ing, then in the lint room, and the multi tudes gradually dispersed to their homes. The injury to the factory, machinery and stock must prove very considerable, al though we have heard no estimate made The Scoundrels I.nndnnlet Williams Em ploys to Swear Away the Live. and Lib erties of the Southern People. ■ 'Washington, October 1C. The Attorney General employed six weeks ago two consummate villains named Hester and Beach, and sent them into Sumter county, Alabama, for the purpose of inciting ignorant and vicious men to violence against the negroes. These two scoundrels came into Alabama from the direction of North Carolina, disguised as mountaineers, and having with them whisky and tobacco, which they retailed to negroes and poor whites. They talked loudly about what the white people ought to do with the niggers, what they would do if they had a chance, and in this man ner sought to elicit expressions of disloy-. alty from those they had made drank. They told the white people of plots to murder them, which they pretended they had heard negroes talking about while they were loafing about their shop drinking, and urged the organization of White Leagues and Kj Klux-Klans as offsets to the negro plots. In one or two instances they pretended to know that negroes were assembled in particular lo calities, and offered to lead the whites to the spot and make short work of the black villains; bnt they never succeeded in leading even a drunken man into any adventures of this sort. The utmost that they succeeded in doing was, as they allege, to worm ont some of the negroes the fact that they had been parties to the murder of Billings; that they had over heard the whites plotting it, and not told These negroes gave the names Durell’s Decree Palpably Illegal—Kel logg's Government Never Constitution ally Recognized by the President- Scathing Rebuke of the Executive Ac- tlOD.

James Gordon Bennett, Esq: Deab Sir.—Although you do not, in asking me to express, my views of the late proceedings in reference to the gov ernment of Louisiana, represent any pri vate Or personal interest such as the opinions of counsel are usually sought for, 1 recognize it as a duty sometimes incumbent on the members of my pro fession to forin and express opinions on public questions arising out of public events. I will, therefore, make a care ful statement of what I understand to be public.and well known facts, and will make such comments on them as seem to mo to be sound. Inl872 there were two factions claiming to control and possess the government of Louisiana.

In his message the President stated to Congress that he intended only to force a judicial decree; bnt he added, that, “having no oppor tunity or power to canvass the votes, and the exigencies of the case demanding an immediate decision,” he conceived it to be his duty “to recognise those per sons as elected who received and held their credentials to office from what then appeared to me to be and has since been decided by the Supreme Court of the State to be the legal Returning Board." CongrP* on the subject. rHE MORNING NEWS. IT have italicized a portion of this sen tence for the purpose of making clear a remark that seems to me to be ovious. that so far as the President, in giving orders for the enforcement of Judge Durell’s injunctions, entered into or con sidered the merits of those injunctions, he acted on a question which he could not officially consider or decide, excepting upon an application of some body claim ing to be the Legislature, or the Gover nor, for protection against a threatened or continued “domestic violence.” But having, for the purpose of enforcing Judge Durrell’s decrees, assumad that the “Lynch” Board was the lawful Beturning Board, the President further informed Congress in his message that he should continue to recognize the Kellogg govern ment unless Congress should otherwise direct. In reference to this determination three things appear to me to be clear—First, that Judge Durell’s decrees were of no legal force, inasmuch as a Federal Court cannot possibly have jurisdiction to de- I cide the political qnestion who is the lawfully elected Governor or Legislature of a State; second, that the President j gave an order to enforce injunctions that j were palpably illegal on their face; third, j that in giving this order the President’s recognition of the “Lynch” Board as the lawful Beturning Board was not a- con stitutional act, performed in the only mode and on the only occasion in and npon which such a question could come before him. I cannot, therefore, concur in the opinion that the President had officially bound himself to recognize the Kellogg government at all future times, or that he was officially bound to reinstate Kellogg in September, 1874, because he had in 1872-3 assisted to put Kellogg in possession of the office. It appears, however, that in May, 1S73, I Kellogg made an application to be pro- j tected in his office in due form of law; I that the President thereupon issued his I proclamation, reciting certain grounds on which he then recognized Kellogg as I Governor, and commanding all insnr- gents against his authority to disperse. Thus reinforced, the Kellogg government continued to be de facto the government of the State nntil, in the month of Sep tember last, the people of the State, after I enduring at the hands of this government, I as they alleged, a great oppression, or an overwhelming number of the people, rose en masse, captured the State House, ex pelled Kellogg from the office of Governor, j compelled the State officers holding nn- der him to abdicate their functions and installed McEnery as Governor.

Snndersville Gazette: Our usually quiet city was considerably excited on last Friday by the announcement that “Belle Boyd." of Confederate notoriety, was in the place. Upon inquiry we found that a woman calling herself the veritable “Belle Boyd,” was in search of some one to stand her bond of one hundred dol lars to keep her from imprisonment nntil court for the larceny of a watch. It ap pears that this woman had been sojourn ing with a very worthy family at Oconee, station 11. Central Railroad, by the name of Sue!], for the space of three weeks or so, under the name of “Widow Dawson,” who was “stopping there for her health,” and had with her a little girl about seven years of age. About three weeks since she iook the train for Toombsboro, one station west from Oconee. Soon after her departure Mrs. Snell missed her I watch, and suspecting the widow of taking I it, went to Toombsboro bnt fonnd she had not stopped there. She was even tually traced to Fort Valley, on the South- I western liaiiroad, and arrested. She was I brought back to Oconee and tried before I a magistrate and committed, but she I succeeded in obtaining the necessary bail I and has gone on her way rejoicing for the I present. The watch was not found. We are an unbeliever in her assumed propri etorship of the cognomen of ‘ ‘Belle Boyd, ” although some of our worthy citizens I assure us that they have seen the simon I pure, aud that this woman bears a close I resemblance to her. The woman in ques tion is said to be a very pleasant and I attractive person, of fair proportions and I seductive address; and that the testimony I is hardly sufficient to convict,and those who I stood as bondsmen believed there might be I some mistake—at least a sufficent number I joined in the instrument that if the bond I is forfeited it will be long division.

Hester is one of the boards, known as the “Warmoth” and the “Lynch” boards, each claiming to be the Provinces against Don Carlos is false. The Carlists burned a factoiy and some houses valued at $100,000 within sight of proper board to open and count the votes and declare the result. The then Gover nor (Warmoth) adhered to one of these boards, before which he presented and opened the returns that he had received under the law. Under subsequent legis lation still another board arose called the “ De Feriet Board.” Warmoth then laid the returns before this latter board, which canvassed them and declared that McEnery was elected Governor, and that certain persons named were elected mem bers of the Legislature. Prior to this both the “Warmoth” and the “Lynch” boards were enjoined from acting by a State court. On the lGth of November Kellogg, fear ing that McEnery would be declared Governor through the action of Warmoth, exhibited a bill in equity In the Circuit Court of the United States for the Dis trict of Louisiana against Warmoth, Mc Enery and the official paper of the State.

In the Acadian village of Tracadie, near the mouth of the Miramichi Biver, says the Toronto Globe, there have been lepers for the last eight or nine years. .A hos pital for their benefit is supported by the local government. A correspondent of the Church Journal, who has recently made a visit to the establishment, says the lazaretto, though well kept as far as it goes, is much too small to furnish the requisite accommodation. The sexes are kept apart, and everything is done for enjoining _ canvassing the votes to or before any board excepting the “Lynch” Board, and enjoining McEnery from acting or claim, ing to act as Governor under any certifi cate emanating from the “Wannoth” Board. The order was served by the Marshal on the 17th of November. It was disregarded, and on the 19th, Kel- logg having made affidavit before Judge the comfort of the unfortunates that is possible with the means placed at the dis posal of those who manage the institu tion. The leprosy from which they suffer is elephantiasis grocorum, so called from its tendency to make the limbs swell to ele phantine proportions. The disease is understood to have been brought there by a French vessel, which, on its return Durell that Warmoth and the other de fendants were acting in contempt and defiance of the Court, they were sum moned to show cause why they should not be punished. At this juncture War moth, os Governor, approved the law which brought into existence the “De Feriet” Board, already mentioned, which law had not until then received his signa ture. Having thus created a new Board, Warmoth caused it to make a canvass of the votes for members of the Legislature, and then, as Governor, proclaimed that certain persons had been elected. Judge Durell then issued an order in the Kellogg suit commanding the Mar shal forthwith to take possession of the State House and to prevent the assemb ling therein of the persons proclaimed by Warmoth to have been elected members of the Legislature. The President of the United States thereupon ordered Federal troops to support the Marshal in the ex- A priest-who was examining a confir mation class in the south of Ireland asked, “What is the sacrament of matri mony?” A bright little girl at the head of the class answered, “A state of tor ment into which souls enter to prepare forabettherworrald.” “That’s the answer for purgatory,” said the priest, “Pat her down fat of the class,” said the subdea con. “Lave her alone,” retorted the priest, “for anything you or I know to the contrary she may be perfectly right.” voyage from Smyrna, touched at the Island of Mitylene, and took in a large quantity of dothiDg and other stores, and on her way to Beanbaris Island—a French military port—she was wrecked near the month of the Miramichi. The people in the neighborhood played the part of wreckers, and helped themselves to the clothes cast ashore, which, it is supposed, were tainted with leprosy, the consequence of which was that the dis ease soon broke ont among them. An other account is, that the vessel in qnes? tion brought two lepers from St. Maloes, and that every leper known in Tracadie descended from one or the other of these men. The prevailing opinion there is that the disease is not contagious, but simply hereditary. The people have no dread of it, and persons engaged about the lepers for years never contract the dis ease. Not only do the .lepers marry among themselves, but such is the feel ing among the poor French in Tracadie that there is no repugnance in many cases among perfectly healthy people to taking lepers for husbands or wives. The taint generally manifests itself in every alter nate generation. In this way the disease then applied to the President of the United States to protect the State gov ernment against this insurrection, and SAVANNAH, GA the President ordered the commanding officer of the Federal troops in that dis trict to reinstate Kellogg in office, which was done, the President refusing to ex amine or consider McEnery’s title to be regarded as the lawful Governor. Having already expressed the opinion that the action of the President in using the military power of the United States to bring into existence and establish the Kellogg government was illegal, and I therefore oould not bind his official con science to uphold that government, it only remains for me to consider whether the recognition which he gave to it in May, 1873, had so bound him that in September, 1874, he was obliged to rein state it without a fresh investigation into and decision upon its title. It seems to me impossible to regard this Kellogg government as at any time purged of the original taint of its unlawful origin; for I cannot assent to it as a sound constitu tional proposition that the Federal Gov ernment or any department of it, may make itself instrumental in bringing a State government into de facto exist ence and into possession of -power, and then that the President of the United States, by recognizing it as the lawful government of the State, when ap plied to keep it in power, binds his own official conscience or that of his suc cessors to give it the like recognition thereafter, loti.es quoties, in disregard of clear and conclusive evidence that it has no lawful title whatever. I do not think that any number of successive recogni tions, although given by the President upon formal applications under the Con stitution, could free this case from the taint that originally adhered to it. The Constitution, in my opinion, never con templated a decision by the Federal power, Congress or President, on the validity of a State government which has been brought into de facto existence by the unlawful interference of tho Federal power itself. The Constitution^supposes that State governments are created by the people of the States, acting freely under their own constitutions and laws; and when it says that the Legislature or Gov ernor may have protection against domes tic violence at the hands of the United States, it cannot in reason be held to mean that the Executive of the Uniled States may first aid by his military power to put a usurper into the office of I Governor, and may then recognize him I as the lawful Governor entitled to be maintained in the office. To hold that I the Constitution embraces such a case would put the government of every State in the Union into the control of the Pres ident, who could set up and pull down whomsoever he would. I think, there- I fore, that in May, 1873, and in Septem- I her, 1874, the President was bound to know officially, as he knew personally, I that Kellogg became Governor solely be cause the President’s illegal enforcement of Judge Durell’s illegal orders enabled Kellogg to get a de facto control and pos- I HALF THE EXPENSE!

Habana Lottery, Outdone by None, The Truth from au Officer—United Stales Troops Used to Crush the People of Louisiana. To the Editor of the Sun : Sib: - Enclosed I send you an extract from a letter received yesterday from a friend, an officer in the United States army: October 5, 1874.—I am more than glad that I am not down there (Louisiana) during-the present state of affairs. God help the poor people of that unfortunate State. He is the only one who can give her any aid. Congress refuses to help Bepublican form of government, and shall protect each of them against inva sion, and on application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic vio lence. That the framers of the Constitution intended by the clause marked in italics to provide a power external to every State by which the government of the State can be protected from every form of violent overthrow of its authority arising within the State itself, whether the insurrection comprehends a majority or a minority of of the inhabitants, may be assumed to be true. Such a provision necessarily im plies also that the power which is to af ford the protection mast decide what is the lawful and rightful government which it is to protect against a “domestic vio lence.” In reference to the exercise of this power the following may be re garded as settled principles of constitu tional law: First—That the. determination of the qnestion what government is to be re garded as the lawful and rightful govern ment of the Slate, when the Federal power is appealed to to afford its protec tion, belongs to the political department of the Federal Government. Second—That the political department of the Federal Government is Congress. Third—That, in providing the ’means by which this protective power is to be exercised, Congress may delegate to the President the decision of the qnestion what government is the lawful and right ful government of a State entitled to be protected. Fourth—That Congress having by law made it the duty of the President to re spond to snch applications for protection, it rests with the President to. decide what body of men is the Legislature and who is the Governor before he can - perform that duty. Fifth—That when, for the purpose of answering any particular call on the President to exercise this power, he has decided what body of men is the Legis lature and who is the Governor, he has acted for that one exigency, and for that exigency his decision is conclusive, unless Congress shall by a legislative act, applied to the particular case, reverse his decision. I do not understand that the President of the United States at any time prior to February 25, 1873, had received and acted npon a constitutional application by Kellogg to be recognized as Governor and to be protected as such against “do mestic violence.” If the President had received such an application it would ■Buggies and Carriages. feet, legs, bands and a portion of her body exhibiting the shocking effects of the burning fluid.

I see by the papers that Packard, the United States Masha], and General Em ery, the officer in command of the De partment of the Gulf, are both out in a lying card, saying that “ United States troops were never used to help the politi cians in that State to power.” I call it a lying cord, because I know of my own knowledge that my own company, and I in command of it, have been ordered on duty for just such purposes. Bnt, thank fortune, I had some discretion allowed in the matter, and instead of helping the thieving, lying rascals, whose only inten tion is to rob both the blacks and whites, I was always able to help the people of the State.
