Custer's final official report to Gen. Terry recapitulates his former statements and takes strong ground in favor of the immediate opening of the Black Hills, for military reasons. It indorses the report of the gold discoveries, and suggests further explorations next sea son. Nevertheless, Prof. Winchell and Prof. Donaldson assert that Custer does not know of his own knowledge that any color of gold was found in the Black Hills Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The Interna tional Postal Congress is in session at Berne, Switzerland, all of the delegates being present except those from the l'nited States Presi dent Grant issued a proclamation on the loth, reciting the recent revolutionary proceedings in Louisiana, and stating that Gov. Kellogg, the Legislature not being in session, had made application for Federal aid to protect the State and citizens thereof against domestic violence, and concluding as follows: "Now, therefore, I, U. S. Grant, President of the United States, do hereby- make proclama tion and command said turbulent and dis orderly persons to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes within five days from this date, and hereafter to submit themselves to the laws and consti tuted authorities of said State. I invoke the aid mid co-operation of all good citizens thereof to uphold the law and preserve the public peace." The Supreme Court of Wisconsin on the 15th rendered a decision in the injunction suits brought by the Attorney-General against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago Ac Northwestern Railroads. The court maintains its original jurisdiction In cases brought by the State, but holds that it would not extend to private suits; affirms the constitutionality of the Potter law; rejects the theory that this law was repealed by the act of March 12, prescribing that the railroads shall make reasonable rates; and, Anal ly, grants the injunction asked for the State compelling these two rail roads to comply with the provisions of the Potter law. The roads are given till Oct. 1 to make arrangements to this end. It is said Mr. Keep, President of the Northwestern, has stated that compliance with the law will necessitate a reduction of expenses on all sides, that fewer trains and second-class coaches will be run, that work will lie suspended in the shops, and that the number of employes will be reduced. Mr. Mitchell, President of the Milwau kee & St. Paul, says that trains will be run on his road as usual, and only cut otr as it becomes obvious that they are unprofitable.

T.) dispatch of the 15th declares that the statement of Prof. Winchell, that there is no gold in the Black Hills, is unqualifiedly false. Three persons who accompanied the Custer expedition declare they found diggings that would pay no less than ten dollars per day per man. Mr. Tiltou's Second Statement. The second statement of Theodore Tilton was published in the New York dnriviic and in a Chicago 1 rtbune, ettm, on the 18th. The following 13 a brief summary of this Very lengthy docu ment, which extends over twenty-eight columns in the Tribune: Mr. Tilton commences br answering the two statement of Mrs. Tilton that he had been for ten years jealous of Mr. Beecher n reputation and was determined to ruin hint, and that he had been maltreatlnu her for the same period of time. This he nttemol to do bv uroducinir various friendlv aml affectionate letters that paused between him self and Mr. Beecher down to July 3, 1870. the date at which he ays he first became aware of the criminal intimacy Between Air. ueecner auu .Mrs. Tilton, and bv given extracts from his cor respondence with Mrs. Tilton down to the same rieriotl tif time. He sunuletnents thi with the emphatic statement that never nntll that date. July 8, 1H70. did he entertain an unkind thought, or litter an unkind word, to eituer Mr. Beecher or hi wire. He then gives a succinct narrative of the time, place, and manner of Mrs. Tiltou's confession of her alleged corruption by Mr. Beecher, and fixes Hie date of its consummation, Oct. 10. lrtiirt. bv an entrv in Mrs. Tiltou's diary, "A Day Mom oranle." which words she said she had used to mark it in her own recollection. Then follows a letter from Susan TJ. Anthony to Mr. Ixabclla Beecher Hooker, full of indigna tion against Mr. Beecher, both for his crime and for hiswant of veracity concerning it. The sup posed significance of this letter is that Mrs. Til ton had confessed the crime to Miss Anthoav, and that Miss Anthony and Mrs. Hooker were in correspondence concernlnir It as a thing about which thero could be no dispute. Ho next seeks to defend .Mrs. i uton against the charge made against her by Mr. Beecher that she made the first advances. For this charge. savs Mr. Tilton. "I brand him as a coward of un common baseness." Elsewhere .nr. liitou sar fii.iii nilv ileHi-unts on the irrovcltnz character of one w ho will accept the last extreme favor of a woman, and then appoint a cominiuee oi six 10 publicly investigate her conduct. ,.rl..- nf letters of Mrs. Morse (Mrs. Tilton's mother) are given, which contain frequent allu sions to the relations existing between Mr. needier atd Jirs. liirou. .nr. jinou ntni'-c!'

LI...... .in.. .-ll..k mother. Known to ner uuugiuei hfh.hw, un was likelv to he a death-blow to the latter. After giving a statement ot Henry iou en s accusations against Beecher sunstantiaiiy as given by Mouiton, Mr. Tilton gives au account of his interview with Beecher at Mouiton V house, where -Mrs. Tilton's confession was disclosed to him, and attempts to show by a comparison ol dates that at that time he had not lost his posi tion on ih lutlrtteiHlent aud the Brooklyn I uton. and was not in an impoverished condition, but was iu the receipt of an income of 514.UW per vear. Consequently, he asserts that Mr. Beech-; Ir s statement that he (Tilton) was exasperated with him for having caused him to lose his situa tion and salary is au afterthought and a false hood. . . . , . ,r Mr. Tilton next labors to snow mai jir. Beecher' s allegation that his despair of mind, so poignantly expressed in his letters to Mouiton, was caused bv his having advised Mrs. Tilton to separate from" her husbaud is likewise an after thought and a falsehood, because he never did so advise her, but on the contrary, when Mrs. Morse was trying to bring about such a separation, ad- . J . n : ...... VI vised the contrary. lie poiuie um - Beccher'n second and long statement before the Brooklyn Committee admits that he never gave such advice in person, although his tirst statement makes that the sole ground of his uit licnltv with the Tilton family. The second state meut'of Mr. Beecher rednces this supposed of fense to a few words written on a scrap of paper to Mrx RnnnhiT. Moreover, savs Mr. Tilton. supposing that he wrote those words to his own wife, he knew that they had done no harm; no separation took place, and there was nothing to be sorrv for. An extract from the records of Plymouth Church, the original of which Mr. Tilton says he has in his possession, is lntrouuceo. to cwmici the Plymouth Church Committee of prevarica tion. The committee alleged that Tilton's sole aud only charge against Mr. Beecher down to a late period was for improper advances to his wife, from which they argued that his latest charge was a new thing trnmped tip lor the occasion, whereas the chnrcn record snows that h. wm rited on the lTth of October, 1878, to appear and answer to a charge of slander the i,iwt.-r lu.ino t ! emeu t bv him that Mr. Beech er had been guilty of adullJry with Mrs. Tilton. The dates of the utterance of the alleged slander are given, and the names ol me witnesses 10 w hom the same was nttered. Mr. Tiltou's association with Mrs. oodhull Is stated to have been begun with the conenrreuce and advice of Mr. Beecher. for the sole purpose of suppressing the dreadful secret and protecting -Mrs. Tilton h reputation, air. l uton aiurmo mni it had no other object than this, and that, right or wrong. Mr. Beecher shared in It personally, and that it involved no criminal intimacy. The charge of blackmail is considered, and em phatically denied. Mr. Beecher' s letters are then taken up and subjected to an analysis to show that his agonized expressions are all "consistent with one thing the crime of adultery and are not consistent with auv other fact or pretended fact in the case. Mr. Tilton concludes with a reflection npon the remorse which must forever assail Mr. Beecher in view of the desolation he is charged with hav ing wrought. " I have, in times past." he says, 'seen him suffer from his own self-inflicted torture in contemplation of the very crime for w hich he has now been exposed to the scorn aud pity of the world. I know well enough how his owu thoughts have bowed him in agony to the dust: aud this is enough. - Wherefore, in con templating my empty house, my scattered chil dren and tnv 'broken home, I thank Heaven that I am spared the pang f this man's remorse for having wrought a ruin which not even Almighty liod can repair!" A somewhat unusual but interesting spectacle was recently witnessed in War ren, Mass., when an aged lady, now in her ninety-second year, rode up and down one of the streets on horseback, with all the confidence and agility of a young girl only complaining that the young horse would not move faster. A married pair were recently divorced by decree of the Supreme Judicial Court of the State of Maine on the ground of cruelty. The true reason was that he loved tlowers, books, poetry, pets and all the beauties of nature, while she con fined her thoughts solely to " biled vict uals" and the interests of the children. The mammoth relics of animals so f requently found in the West are now as serted to be grasshopper skeletons in an advanced state of growth, who by trying to swallow mountains got mixed up in the dirt and stones and killed themselves ages ago.

The Louisiana TronMes The (lotern mPnt in the Hands of the Military. There was desperate fighting in New Or leans on the 14th between armed bodies of citizens and the Metropolitan forces. Several persons on both sides were killed or wounded. The following is a summary of the account of the affair, as given by the Associated Press dispatches of that date: A mass meeting of citizens was held in the forenoon, in response to a Call signed by fifty business mfn and firms of the city. In this call it was declared that for nearly two years the people had been silent but indignant suf ferers of outrage after outrage heaped uoon them by an usurping government; that at last even the right of the people to keep and bear arms had been infringed, In violation of the Federal Constitution ; that the citizens were therefore called upon to close their places of business and assemble together, and, " in tones loud enough to be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land, declare that vou arc cT right, ought to be, and mean to be free." The called meeting assembled at eleven a. m., and a series of preambles and resolutions were adopted, declaring that at the election in November, ViTl, John McEnery was elect ed Governor by nearly 10,000 majority, nnd I). P. Penn Lieutenant-Governor bv a major ity of 15,000: that by fraud and violence Kellogg and his defeated associates had seized the executive chair and perpetuated their official reign by other and continued ir regular, fraudulent and violent acts, in the face of the report of a committee of the United States Senate that the existing State Govern ment of Louisiana was an urtirpatlon ; that the acting Goernor had, under the Registration net passed for the purpose of defeating the popular will, and with a view of controlling the result of the approaching election, re fused registration to borui Jul? citizens, who were denied redress before the courts; that by false and infamous misrepresentations of the feelings and motives of the people he had received the promise of Federal aid; that the whites of Louisiana had no desire to deprive the colored people of anv rights to which they arc entitled ; that V. P. Kellogg is a mere usurper, and his government is arbitra ry, unjust and oppressive, and could only lie maintained through interference; that Kel logg's immediate abdication of office be de manded, and a committee of five should be Hppointed to wait upon him with the resolu tions and demand an immediate answer. The committee called at the Executive office at noon, and, the Governor not being present, were received by Brig.-Gen. Dibble, who con veyed the fact of the committee's call to Gov. Kellogg and nride reply in writing that the Governor had directed him to say that he de clined to receive any communication from the committee because lie had definite and accu rate information that there were assembled in different parts of the city several large bodies of armed men, who were met at the call which convened the mass meeting represented by the committee; that he regarded this state of affairs as a menace; but that should the peo ple assemble peaceably, without menace, he would deem it one of his highest duties to re ceive any communication from them, and cn tertalu any petition addressed to the Govern ment. The committee responded through one of their number that there were no armed riot ers, that they came on a mission of peace, and that they believed, had the Governor acceded to the proposition to abdicate, it would have pacified the people and prevented violence and bloodshed. The committee reported the result of their interview to the mass meeting, and 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 execute 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. A proclamation was then issued, signed by D. B. Penn, as Lieutenant-Governor and act ing Governor in the absence of Mr. McEnery, reciting the alleged outrages to which the citizens had been subjected for two years, and calling upon the militia of the State, em bracing all persons between the ages of eighteen and forty years, without regard to color or previous condition, to arm and as semble under their respective officers for the purpose of driving the alleged usurpers from power. Gen. Frederick N. Ogdcn was designated Provision General of the militia, and an ad dress was issued to the colored people by Penn, as acting Governor, declaring that no harm was intended them, their property or their rights. By three p. m. armed men were stationed at the Intersection of all streets on the south side of Canal street, from the river to Clai borne street. About four p. m. a body of Metropolitans, about 500 strong, with cavalry and artillery, appeared at the head of Canal street and took a position. Gen. Longstreet commanding, accompanied by an orderly, then rode up and down Canal street, ordering the armed citizens to disperse. Fighting subsequently ensued, and seven Metropolitans were killed and over thirty wounded. The citizens' loss was six killed and nine wounded, some seriously. The citizens captured the City Hall and erected barricades on several of the streets. Bloody work was anticipated at night, but a dispatch dated at midnight reported all quiet. The State authorities seemed to have great confidence in their ability to deal with w hat they termed an armed mob. New Orleans dispatches of the 15th say that during the latter part of the preceding night the White Leaguers remained in trenched within their camps, with their pickets guarding every approach to the cen tral portions of the city. Gen. Ogden, of the Leaguers, conferred with the commander of the United States troops, to assure himself of the non-interference of the troops iu case they proceeded to take the State House and other State build ings. That gentleman assured him that the troops were there simply to protect United States property and that he should do no more. At one o'clock on the morning of the 15th Gen. Ixmgstreet, commanding the Metropoli tans, threw out his pickets as far as Canal street. When this became known a squad of Leaguers advanced and captured about half of them. The rest threw down their arms and fled. Nothing further transpired until eight o'clock, when the:5O0 Metropolitans occupying the State House marched out, sent word to the commander of the White League that the State House was voluntarily surrendered, and then proceeded to Gen. Longstreet's headquarters. Gen. Ogden then took possession and peace ably installed Acting-Gov. Penn and the other Fusion officers in the possession of the State offices. He then marched a company to the Jackson Square station, and before the de mand was made the Metropolitans marched out to the number of 400 and, surrendering, were at once paroled. At this time Kellogg and his entire administration were in the Cus-tom-House, under bayonet protection. These events all culminated before eleven o'clock a. m. A jttle after that hour Gen. Ogden issued a reclamation ordering the troops to disperse tfo their homes and desiring the people to resume their avocations, as the troubles were ended and a continuation of fcace was assured. In response to the proc amation the White League and other citizens hearing arms disbanded and returned to their homes. Previously, about one o'clock p.m., they paraded on Canal street, about 2,500 strong, with guns, flags and other trophies captured the day before. At twenty minutes after one o'clock the President's proclamation came to hand, com manding all turbulent and disorderly persons to disperse and submit to the laws of the con stituted authorities. The reception of this in telligence was marked in many instances by violent and bitter ex-pressions of feeling, ex tending even to declarations that the Kellogg Government should not be restored, and that if necessary the people would fight the Gen eral Government itself in maintaining the Fusion administration. In the afternoon Acting-Gov. Penn issued a proclamation convening an extra session of the Legislature to meet on the 21st; a proc lamation commanding and enjoining all offi cers throughout the State to at once assume the duties and take possession of the offices to which they had been heretofore legally elected or appointed; and also a further proclamation calling upon the people of Louisiana to assemble in their respective cnurcnes on the lt.th for the pur pose of "returning to Heaven thanks giving and praise for the overthrow of the usurping Government and the restoration of the State into the hands of the people." The Mayor of the city also issued his proclama tion, advising moderation, and recommending to the citizens of New r1eanthut they " seek no revenge for past injuries, but leave your fallen enemies to the tortures of their own consciences and to the lasting infamy w hich their act have won for them." . Immediately upoti the receipt of the Pni dent's proclamation the bank and insurance Presidents held a meeting and forwarded a dis patch to the President, calling upon him to recognize and guarantee the Government of McEnery and Penn. A riot occurred in the Ninth Ward about midnight, but it was quickly subdued, and at hist accounts the entire city was tranquil. On the evening of the 14th Acting-Gov. Penn sent to the President a dispatch an nouncing the deposition of tli Kellogg Gov ernment; declaring that the party he repre sented were sincerely loyal to the United States, and warred only against usurpers, plunderers and the enemies of the people, and asking that he would withhold any aid or pro tection from the enemies of republican rights and of the peace and liberties of the people. No answer was made to this dispatch. A rumor prevailed after midnight that Kel logg and his entire administration were dis posed to abdicate provided they could be as. sured of safe conduct from the State, but this was discredited. The total number killed in the fight of the 14th foots up twenty-six Metropolitans and nine White leaguers. Considerably over fifty were wounded, among the latter lien. Badger, commanding the Metropolitans, who lost au arm and a leg. The Associated Press dispatches from New Orleans on the loth furnish the following in telligence: The city continued quiet, and there was a very general resumption of business, with no gatherings of people or evidences of excite ment in any quarter. A telegram had been sent to President Grant, signed by the Presidents of the Cham ber of Commerce, Clearing-House, Cotton Exchange and Merchants' Exchange, in forming him that " this city is perfectly quiet and free from all disturbing elements, and business has been resumed as usual. No further trouble is anticipated." This dispatch was supplemented by one signed by James F. Casey, dated at the "Custom-House, New Orleans, Sept. 10," in which he says: "The statement that the city is per fectly quiet Is true, and business is proceed ing as usual. Property and iersoiis are safe from insults or injuries except from some rowdy or drunken man." The Executive Committee of the Merchants' Exchange had also telegraphed the Board of Trade of Chicago and Merchants' Exchanges of St. Louis and Cincinnati to the effect that "the new Government Is composed of the legitimate and duly-elected State officers, and is in full and peaceable possession, aud means jM'aee, law and order, and honest government. All is quiet. Business is entirely resumed, perfect order maintained, and public confi dence restored." The following telegram was also trans mitted to President Grant: A petition has been forwarded vou to-day by express, signed by 5"0 of the leading business men of this city, as follows: "We, the under signed merchants, representing the commercial interest of New Orleans, and deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of the'state, gladly embrace the recent change of government, and guarantee impartial rights to all. We respect fully ask the sympathy and support of the Ex ecutive." (Signed) E. B. Wiieei.ock. Chairman of Committee. Gov. Kellogg and his followers remain in the Custom-House. The Governor appeared in good spirits, and was quietly awaiting the expiration of the five days allowed by the President, when he expected to be restored by the military. He insisted that he must be put back by United States troops and main tained by them. Mail-Superintendent Sloanakcr had tele graphed to the Postmaster-General that tran quillity had been restored and all mail facili ties had been resumed as usual. Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge had turned out the Kellogg officials and installed McEnerv officers in the city and parish. Liv ingston Parish had also declared for McEnery. The adjacent parishes would do the same. No disturbance. A Shrevcport dispatch, dated the lGth. and signed by W. B. Egan, J. C. Moucure and A. II. Leonard as committee, says: The last vestige of the Kellot'g Government has disappeared from North Louisiana without a word or act of violence to whites or blacks. Per fect quiet and order prevails, and can only be dis turbed by extraneous interference. The" people are buoyant, and now hopeful of a future mate rial prosperity. A New York dispatch of the 10th savs D. P. Penn, signing himself "Lieutenant-Governor and Acting-Governor of .Louisiana," bad tel egraphed to a newspaper in that city as fid-lows: The North can form no idea'ofthe robbery and spoliation to which we have been subjected. Mv movement was necenMuueu uv me uiiiiuuc oi the people. They demanded it. I am now iu full nossession of the Government of the State. The colored people are satisfied and contented. A strong brigade or colored troops, rully organ ized and armed, and in the service of the" usurpa tion, refused to lire a shot in its defense. The most perfect peace and good order prevail. We are thoroughly loyal to the Federal Government, and in the operations of the past two days there have been no excesses or violations of law. This Government is the only one now iu existence iu Louisiana. Gov. Kellogg, in a telegram to the same paper, says: Amid all the troubles which have beset the State. I have reduced State and parish taxation each fully one-third, and measures have been passed providing for a reduction of the State debt and the constitutional limitation of debts, both on State and city ; also an amendment lim iting taxation. The obnoxious features of the Election and Itegistration laws, used by the I Kusionists in the last election, have been repealed. and, in the appoiutmeut of officers ol regis tration, I have voluutarilv tendered to the oppo sition a representation, which they entirely de nied to tue itepnoiu aii puny ni ine iasi election. Findin. ns the registration progressed, that they would be left still more in the minority at this election than ever before if the voters were allowed a free, nntranimeled, uniutimidated franchise, they have, by a long-prepared plan, violently overthrown the Government, even before " the election, to prevent the evidence that they had not had a majority be fore. Upon shallow pretext of violence, aiid by incendiary statement and appeals, they have got together their clans, which they have organized iu"eecret and drilled in their club-rooms in the city, and have taken possession of the public offices bv violence and bloodshed. Personally, I have no desire to discharge the very onerous and vexations duties of Governor, but 1 feel it a duty I owe to the State and to the party to hold on uu ttl relieved by competent authority. . Gen. Emory and staff and McEnery arrived at New Orleans on the evening of the Kith. McEnery visited the State House and re ceived the congratulations of his friends. He would probably relieve Penn on the 17th. Instructions were sent to Gen. Emory from Washington on the Kith to " under no cir cumstances recognize the insurgent Govern ment of Louisiana. Within five days from date of proclamation to the insurgents such action w ill be taken as the emergency may re quire." The situation of affairs in New Orleans on the 17th was as follow s, according to the tele graphic dispatches of that date: Gov. McEnery had addressed a letter to Gen. Emory, protesting that there did not exist in the State of Louisiana any insurrection against the McEnery Government; that there w as not anywhere in the State any assemblage of in surgents to disperse; that there was but one Government in existence in the State, which was the one elected and chosen by the people in 1S72 and legally installed in 1873, of which he (John McEnery) is Governor and D. B. Penn Lieutenant-Governor; that throughout the State this Government was recognized, supported, adhered to, respected and obeyed by the people, and was both de j'tr and rtefm-to the Government of the State. He then gives a history of recent events in New Orleans, and attempts to show that the President's recent proclamation did not right fully apply to New Orleans or the people of Louisiana, who were not in a state of insur rection, lie then distinctly announces that no attempt would be made "to forcibly resist the military forces of the United States, and concludes as follows: "We will occupy the State House and other State property in this city until the appearance and occupation of the same by the authorities of the Government of the United States, when we shall retire, knowing we have surrendered the same alone to the Government of the United States." McEnery, as Governor, also issued an order acceding to a demand from Gen. Emory that all armed men on the streets should be retired and their arms returned to the arsenal. At six o'clock in the evening, in accordance with previous arrtngements, Gen. J. R. Brooke, accompanied by Lieuts. Wallace and Roe, went to the Executive office, at the St. Louis Hotel, and after formal salutations Gov. McEnery stated to Gen. Brooke that he gave him possession of the State Capitol and all other State buildings within the limits of the city, and then read to him an address in the shape "of a protest, to the effect that the sur render was in response to a formal demand of Gen. iMiiory ; that they naa neither the power nor inclination to resist the Government of the United States; that the people had overthrown the Kellogg administration because tlu-y could no longer bear its "wrongs, tyranny, arrogance and insults." The protest con clude? ns follows f ' I know ns a ddier vu have but to obev the orders of tii? Govern incut of the United States, but I feel that t oil will temper your military control of allairs with moderation, and in "all things exhibit that integrity of purpose characteristic of officers of the army. I now turn over to you, sir, the Capitol and other property of the State under my charge." At the conclusion of this address Gen. Brooks was seated in the office, nnd required from Lieut. -Gov, Penn a statement of all records, etc., w h'n h were in the building when they took possession. Gov. McEnery and his followers then withdrew, leaving the Capitol of Louis iana in possession of the military officers of the Federal Government. At seven p. m. two companies of the Third Infantry marched down and were quar tered in the building. Col. Thomas Boy Ian, McEnery ' Chief of Police, remained on duty with hi forces. The citv was very quiet. Gen. Emory had issued a circular announc ing the appointment of Gen. Brooke to com mand the city of New Orleans until such time as the State and city governments could be reorganized. McEnery and Penn had issued an address to the people, advising a cheerful obedience to the constituted authorities. On the lsl h Gen. Emory sent a commu nication to Gov. Kellogg to the effect that the insurgents lately in arms against the State Government had surrendered, and that he would atlord hitu the necessary military sup port to re-establish the State Government. Gov. Kellogg acknowledges the receipt of the communication and requests Gen. Emory to as sume the maintenance of peace and order of the city during the coining night, as, owing to the disorganization of the pence force, the Commissioners of the Metropolitan police would not be able to get their officers on their beats until the next day. The following order was subsequently sent to the ollieial journal: EXKCI TIVE OKUEK. All State officers who have been prevented, during this recent trouble, from performing their duties will immediately resume their ollieial functions. The Board of Metropolitan Police will at once assemble and organize the police force of New Orleans, and assume the mainte nance of the peace and order of the city. (Signed) William I. K ei.i.ooo. Governor. A dispatch to Gov. McEnery, received on the lsth, from Bayou Sara reports that town attacked the night before by negroes. The attack was repulsed. Gen. Emory had ordered troops to that point. Lieut.-Gov. Penn had made the following statement relative to the State Governments: The two Governments had been organized since 1 72. There was a meeting of the Mc Enery Legislature last session; in every re spect, therefore, that status of the li- facto and jure Government was maintained. The troops engaged on the 14th, instead of insur gents, as styled in the President's proclamation, were the milita of the McEnery Government, duly commissioned, etc. They overthrew and drove from the soil of the State the officers of the (If fmlo Government. Under the strict letter of the law Kcllogg could not call upon the United States" to interfere, he and his Government being out of the State and unable at the time of his application to maintain himself on Louisiana soil, but a refugee in the custom House. The proclamation of the President had been obeyed, and while the L nited States forces " were in possession of the irehives and property of the State the Mc Enerv Government was still organized, and simply deprived of its tlf furto functions by the L'nited States authority and pow er. The McEnery Government could as sert itself and its power would be obeyed throughout the State. The Kel logg Government could be reinstated by United States forces, but could only maintain itself through that power. A conference between the leaders of the McEnerv and Kellogg factions w as in progress during the night of the lSth ut the Custom House, with closed doors. THE MARKETS. September 18, 1S74. NEW YORK.

Judge Pitman's chimney had been foul for some time, and when he men tioned the fact at the drug store .Mr. Squills said he could easily clean it out by exploding a Uttie powaer in me nre placc. The idea seemed to Pitman to be a good one, and he bought almost ten pounds of powder in order to do the work thoroughly at the first blast. The men were busy graveling his roof that day, and just as the Judge was about to touch oil the charge a workman named Snyder leaned over the top of the chimney to call to the man below to send up more tar. Then the Judge lit the slow match. The Tiew which met the eye of Mr. Snyder as he went up was a tine one, embracing as it did Cape May and Omaha and Con stantinople and Baltimore and the Sand x ich Islands, and when he got enough of drinking iu the scenery he came down in the river apparently with the intention of exploring the bottom. "When he was fished out he was glad to learn not only that the Judge's chimney was thoroughly clean, but that it would need about lour cart-load of bricks to repair damages. After this the Judge w ill clean his Hues with a brush fastened to a clothes prop. Mux Adtler. yi iscE ll a x Eors i r k m s.

What arc we to think of this evidence of conceit struck in from the Washington Chronicle: "If thievery in journalism were punishable with deatli we should be the sole surviving journalist of this unhappy country?'' A Hoc in Dubuque slipped tip-stairs into a house where a party win being held, and got into a room w here the eat ables were stored, which he proceeded to devour. The 'lUjruih says the hog was chased until he was captured. The theory of a subterranean liver connecting the waters of Lake Superior and Lake Ontario is revived.

As a very pretty girl asked a young man on the Maine Kailroad the other morning if the vacant scat by his si. It was engaged, after saying: "No, miss," he, highly appreciating her beauty, un consciously said: "Are you?" She so pleasantly and promptly replied: "No, sir," that the agreeable conversation which followed for ten miles leads him to hope for a better acquaintance before his season ticket expires. Ax engine on the New Jersey Midland Road has been lilted with a smoke-burning arrangement in the fire-box. On one of the early trips of the engine, as the fireman opened the furnace door to throw in a shovelful of coal, the gas burst out with such volume and force as to throw him entirely otl the engine. In falling he struck on his head in a culvert and was killed. Another fireman was put on in the dead man's place, and in a short time he had his face terribly burned. Tjikek tramps found their match and something to spare the other day in the person of Mrs. George Hoof, living three miles west of Huchanan, Mich. The fel lows stopped at the house and demanded something to cat, which was kindly fur nished them. They then ordered more, and upon being refused, not icing that the woman was alone, they became demon strative and made threats of violence. They soon discovered that this sort of thing didn't take worth a cent, and about the time Mrs. Hoof got out the double barreled shot-gun they departed in haste. She fired two shots at them on the wing, but whether either took cll'cct is not known. A KomsEKY, accompanied with cruelty and gross maltreatment, was recently perpetrated upon a farmer named Har row Ley, who, with his two young sons, lives near Clayton Station, Mich. Three men entered the house, and, finding the old man awake, beat him with their fists and then bucked and gagged him and his two boys, w hile they proceeded to ransack the house. The whole of their plunder only amounted to $2. 50 in money, a silver watch, and a suit of broadcloth clothes. After remaining tied three hours one of the boys extricated himself and then re leased the others. Mr. Ley had been gagged so brutally as to lacerate his mouth on both sides. The apothecary's oath, in medi.t val days, read thus, according to the MeU'nil and Surgical Importer: " 1 take to wit ness, before all, God, the creator of the universe, in three persons, that during my whole life I will observe that which follows: 'I will live and die in the Christian faith. I will honor my parents I will honor the physicians and master under whom I have studied. 1 will never say anything that shall be injurious to the seniors of our order, or to others. 1 will adorn with my best the dignity of the art, and I will not reveal its secrets. I will do nothing imprudently or through the hope of gain. In acute sickness I will not give purgatives without the order of the physician. 1 will keep the secrets of the patients. I will administer no poison, neither will I allow it to be administered, even to my enemies. I will not alter the prescriptions of phy sicians. I will never substitute one rem edy for another without their knowledge. I will discourage the fatal practice of empirics. 1 will refuse to no person my legitimate assistance. 1 will not keep in my pharmacy stale or badly-prepared medicaments. In making and observing these rules, may God assist me. Ainsi soit-il !'" The Detroit Free Pre relates the fol lowing: " Something like three months ago a Hollander, who could scarcely speak a word of English, was sent to the House of Correction from the Central station court for being a vagrant. He came to this city from Canada to find work, got out of money, and after starv ing around for several days was picked up by the police. He had been in the House of Correction nearly two months w hen a fellow-prisoner suggested to him, more in fun than in earnest, to write a letter to a Holland widow living not over four blocks from the prison. She owns a house and lot, has money in the bank, and is a thrifty, industrious woman. The letter was written, and in it the writer begged for her to pay his fine, stating the amount, the charge against him, and adding that he was of a respectable family. In the course of three or four days the widow called at the 'jug,' had a talk with the prisoner, paid his fine and took him away. She purchased him a suit of clothes, gave him money to go to Canada, and hoped for good fortune to attend him. He went home, but returned again within a week and asked her hand in marriage. She consented, and the ceremony was performed yesterday at the Louse. Thursday evening 4 Hoi' went out with the boys to drink some beer and have some fun, and the result was that he had Lis eyes handsomely dressed in mourn ing, his nose increased in size, and got a cut on the head. He wanted to post pone the ceremony for a few days, but the widow insisted that it come o!F on the advertised time. Therefore when they stood tip to be made one all the company had to laugh at the bride groom's black eyes and swelled nose, and he was so ashamed that the widow had to keep a firm hold of his arm to prevent him skulking away." Sixteen Aces. Sam Oglivie was a gambler by pro fession and practice, but among the planters who frequented his faro bank (and all of those of any wealth or stand ing within a hundred miles of Sdma took a turn at it when they could) there was not one who would entertain a ques tion as to Sam's honesty. In that little white cottage, almost hidden by the sur rounding grove, none but the fairest of faro was dealt, none but the squarest of poker was bet on. When the chips were bought and the cards cut each one felt that what fortune meant the pack to bring him would not be interfered w ith by any manipulation of the cards. "But alas! when was humanity beyond temptation? One day Sam was tempted and he . But let me give the details. Judge Humphrey, Col. Swain, old An drews (whose plantation was measured by the thousand acres) and Sol. Lovett, from St. Louis, were sitting in Oglivie's front parlor playing a snug little game of draw. All were heavy betters when they held the cards ; but just then the cards w ere running light and so w ere the bets. Sam, who cared very little for poker, had sat by watching the game rather than going in it. He h ld a hand, of course; but his thoughts were rather on the lay-out in the next room than on the cards in hi hand. Several times be had hinted at abandoning the game, but each time the others had insisted on going on, so Sam had politely stilled his impatience nnd hud kept his st'.'U at tho table. A the clock was telling ten Sam warf called from the table, mid, excusing him self for t lie moment, left the room. His way was through the back pallor, where? lay the sleeping tiger. The table with its lay-out, the case, pilot of (becks, decks 'of cards, all were rend J for tin: players. Ah he glanced carelessly over them a sudden thought sccnu-d to flali through Sam brain. A sardonic smile crept over his thin-cut lips, and his long fingers played with his mustache, as if to hide the twitching lips from some un seen observer. Advancing to the card box, where cards by the (h'en packs, in unbroken packages, lay piled up. he busied himself for a moment in opening packs, breaking wrappers mid assorting cards; then, with an expression of guile less innoc ence upon bis face, but with a "cold dec k" up bis sleeve, be returned to the poker-table. In a lew minutes it was Sam's turn to deal. His hand faltered ns be lifted tho cards; a deuce spot fluttered into bis lap, and in picking it up a rapid movement of the long. I'll he lingers had exc hanged the table pack for the "cold deck." A grain of remorse seemed to touch hi heart when he came to serve the cards. " I can't take a band this deal, gentle men. I have got to step around to the hotel for a moment." The others acquiesced, mid the card were dealt. A good hand, one would say, by the action of the players. There was a thousand in the pot, and a very obsti nate expression on the faces of the play ers before the drawing began. Then a singular circumstance was noticed. The. Judge only wanted one: card; one card satisfied the Colonel, and one card each took Lovett and Anderson. Odd, thought each one, and wondered whether they were t ry i:ig to bite a full or a flush, or were; billing fours. But eac h glanced at his own hand and calmly wailed the issue, confident of his own and pitying the other's; hand. The cards served, Sam lit a c igar and started for the hotel. If he had waited he would have seen the tallest betting that was ever clone inside of that cottage. A thousand dollars the first bet, ,fl,.VK the second, $',0K) the third, sf'J.oOO from the "age" on the first round. Every body in and willing to lap bis pile. Out came c hec k books and prne ils, and each one rapidly cast up in bis own mind how much his credii was good fur among the commission merchants of New Oilcans. Check after check was written, torn out, and placed on the tabic, tinlil there was enough staked to cripple the- richest man there, if he lost. The Judgu stopped it. Why, I don't know, unless it was that he had reached the last check in bis book. As he filled that out he remarked with judicial grav ity: " There is but one hand at the table that can win that pot, gentlemen; ain't it about big enough ? 1 will see you, Colonel." This che c ked the game. The pot was big enough in all conscience, and hoiiicj of them trembled a little as they thought of the thousands piled there, and how poor the call was to make three of their comrades. Two more sights and a call brought the game to a foc us. Perspiration stood out on more than one fore bead, and tho lingers that griped the cards tightened perceptibly as the crucial moment ap proached. And heads had to be: turned to prevent the hungry eyes from feast ing too intense ly upon the pile on the table. The venerable Colonel hardly looked up as bo gently laid down his hand: "Fours. Aces, gentlemen!" Then Andrews, with distended ryes and pursed-up lips: "Pour aces for me!" and the cards were laid upon the table to verify the claim. Reproachfully Lovett glanced at hi comrades as at inhospitable barbarian from whom the; title of strange r was no protection, and blandly remarked: "Ex cuse me-, but mine! arc aces. Fours!" and again the cards proved the cbii n. Dashing his spe c tacles from bis Roman nose to bis perspiring lorelieiul the; Judge sank bac k in his seat and gazed despairingly from h:s face around the: board. As his eye met Lovc tt's he par tially straightened himself and said: "Sixteen aces, as I am a sinner!'' and again tour aces lay upon the board. The y waited for Sam that night, but he did not return to the cottage. Turf, ''i Id aud Juirai. m m Minnesota Republican Plat for in. We. the representatives of the Ilepublicaii partv of Minnesota.
