tbh Inferior and Sapreme Courts
of said State, that mid officers

to take action with reepeot thereto; ana,
whereas, it is provided in the Constitu
tion of the United States that the Uni
ted States shell protect every State in
this Union, on application of the Legis
lature or of the Executive, when the
Legislature cannot be eonvened against
domertio violence, and, wnereas, it is
provided in the laws of the Un.ted States
that in -11 oases ol insurrection in any
State, or obstruction to the laws there
of, it shall be lawful for the
President of the United States, ou
application of the Legislature of suoh

islature can cot be oouveued, to call for: h
the militia of any other State or States or
to employ suoh parte of the land and

for the purpose of suppressing suoh in
surrection or causing the laws to be duly
executed: and whereas, the Legiiilature of
said State is not now in session and can
not be convened in time to meet the
present emergency and the Exeoutive of
said State, under section 4, «r» iole 4 of the
Oonstitntion of.the United States, aod the
laws passed in pursuance thereof, has
made application to me for suoh part of
tne military force of the United States

protect said State and the citizen? there
of against domestic vioh-nce, and to en
force the due execution of the laws; and
Whereas, it is required that whatever

the President, to use the military foroe
for the purpote aforesaid, he shall forth
with, by proclamation, command suoh

Washington, May 22.— It is stated in
Republican ciroles that some time ago
Kellogg applieu for Uuited StatiW assis
tance, bnt was persuaded to withdraw it
aud the National Executive regarded it
ot no effect It is probable, that the
President who was absent at the time,
never saw the request as the denial of a
previous dispatch, that such application
nad been made, came from tue Presi
dent. The proclamation of to-day is
stated |to be prompted by Carpenter's
pressure upon Kellogg m renew the ap
plication, and the personal representa
tion, from Carpenter to the President by
telegraph, ot tne dangerous condition of
affairs in Louisiana, hence the renewed
application from Kellogg and the present
proclamation.

Governor Bullock, I aak space in your
paper for the following foots in reft reuoe
to said "bundle of ooupous:”
Whilst I occupied the Executive clmi*,
I luqnestcd tne financi*! agents of tne
atuie in New York to sena me an ac
count current of their transactions for
the (State. They furnished the state
ment at once, and in transmitting
the account they sent to the Exeou
tive office a large number of ooupns
which they had pa'd for the State. These
paid coupons, together wiJi theaooouut,
were ae it to the Treasurer of u e Slate,
wnere tbey prop rly belonged. Dr. An
gler, the fre .surer, return* d me coupons
to the Executive office, refusing to rec
ognize their legality, etc., wberoDpOn I
directed my Secretary to seal them up m
a package, label them, deposit them lo
a safe in the Exeoutive Department,
where they were subeeqoently fouud,
" while engaged in overhauling office pa
pers.” These were the only ooupous iu
the offloe when I left the Exeoutive
obair, and they were there because the
Treasurer rtlused io noeive them and
Jiher disposition oonld be made of
tueu. These are the facts about the
" bundle of coupons which had been
paid but whioh Bullock had nev r can-
ooUeu or destroyed.”

It will be remembered by most ot out
reader*, that some tear yea re ago ths
Legislature of Georgia waa engaged for
* considerable time in disaaesing tbe
Mitchell heir alaim, and thet it wealth*
oanee of considerable talk in the new-*
papers. When Atlanta wea first found ad,
aauiisL tuionus
then in life, and residing in Pike oonnty
—where his family atul Uvea—owned
some land around that oily, and gave
several acres to the Slate Road, :
where the prerant depot stand*, opoa
condition that it should be need
for railroad purposes by the raid road.
This was never d me, aud sinoe the war,
the heirs were advised that the
TITII REVERTED TO THEM
by reason of noa-naar, and upon this
tbey went before the Legislature request
ing that body to declare thet whatever
interest the State might have had ia it,
bad, by this means, bien forfeited, sad
that they were entitled to it The eervi-
cos of Gov. Brown, Judge Loahmne, and
other eminent attorneys, were engaged,
and the ball was put in motion. The
Legislators at first refused to naaa th*
bill, when it waa represented to ins hairs,
aa we have been informed, that u wea
neeeaaary to procure the service* of
io oontrol Bnllook, for without the influ
ence of the latter, nothing oonld be ao-
oomplisbed. Tbe arrangement was mads,
when it was said that the only means of
soooees was for the bain to aell Kimball
their interest in it, and they finally mad*
him a deed, or gave their obligations to
make him one, upon the payment of the
sum ot
TimtTT-nvn thousand dollabs.
This accomplished, tbey soon get the
measure through tbe Legislature, end as
Gen. Toombs oroe said, ‘ Brown, Loeh-
rane and Kimball beoame the Mitouell
heirs.” Bnt be this as it may, thew at
torney* own a large portion of the prop
erty, and a bill in obanoery baa bean filed
to set their title aside, and deolere what
thr legitimate helm ere entitled to, upon
the ground that Brown A Co., took ad-
vautuge of the
OONF1DBNTIAL BBLATION
of attorney and olknt, and defrauded
them of their joet dues, thr amount ap
proximating two hundred thousand dol
lars. In otber words, the basis of the
suit la, that by three representation., the
heir, were induced to aooept e proposi
tion whioh was false in preniaea, which
they never would have assented to bnt
for the legal ndvioe of their oonnael,
whom tbey had employed and agreed to
give

Tho N‘ a Urleaua Picayune of tbe !8ib
mmUi na a oa«e of an outrage committed
by an armed baud of oegroe. in Algiers,
upon the steamboat "John Howard,” aod
tbe same pacer of the 20tb inatant state*
that a repetition of that outrage was en
acted, at Algiers, on be 19th, oy a simi
lar band of armed negroes upon tbs
•teamen "Thompson dean and "City of
Quinoey." Tbe Picayune says:
It appear, tl-at tb« above iiamed (team-
era bad ei.gaged a sufficient number of
laborer! on tbia aide of the river, to go
over to Algiers, for Ibe porpoae ot load
ing the boats at tbe warehouse* there at
a stipulated price.
Tbe oootract with them was al tbe
usual pi ices lor auoh work, and waa by
them accepted. When the boat arrived
on ibe Algiers aids, tbe laborers engiged
by tbe respective boat* ware met by e
band of armed negroes, wbo commanded
those hired by tbs boats to refoaa to pro
ceed with tbeir work, anises tbey oonld
outain an advance on tbe prioe already
agreed upon. They dated, emphatically,
that tbe boat* ahonld not be loaded if
their oommanda war* not obdjred; ct the
time (.setting that they were empowered
thus to sot by the anpport if not tbe
order of the Kellogg authorities. They
threatened tbe live* of the laborer, in
case they touched a pound of freight.
The goods intended to be ahipoed by
three boats were in the bonded ware
houses.
If tnis state of things continue, th*
Linage lo car commercial affairs will be
incalculable. The numerous obstacle,
already existing in tbe Way of
handling of freight are enongh without
au-h bigh-han<ted
above related.
