Nr.w Orleans, Sept. 14-In response to the call for a mass meeting on Canal street this morning, to protest against the seizure or arms of piivate citizens, men began to assemble about lOoclock.and by 11 the sidewalks of the great thoroughfare were filled for several squares. Many stores are closed and there seems" to be a very general suspension of business at this hoar, 12 M. Addresses are being delivered from the base of the Clay statne. No disturbance of any bind has occurred. Two companies of Lnited states troops arrived this morning, and Marshal Packard reports a regiment enroute from Holly iprings. Miss., for this city.

Sei x as, were appointed to wait npon ihn governor, and the meeting is awaiting a report of the committee. THE VISIT TO KELLOGG. H n f.i:ftses to receive the committee WARNING OP THE COMMITTEE THE FEOrLE T 'LD TO ARM THEMSELVES. Xrw Orleans, Sept. 11 The committee of five appointed by the Canal street mass meeting cal!-d at the eiecntlre office about noon. The governor not being present, Brfsadler-Generijl j ia.:e, on he governor 'a offlce, received the delegation. Mr. Mann, as spokesman, said that thev bad called as committee to interview tee "overnor. Gen. Diable said he would convey the fact to the governor. After a brief absence he returned, and made a reply which at the reaupRt of Mr. Mann, was reduced to writing as follows: General Diable. I have communicated with the governor and he directs me to say to jou that he must decline to receive any communication from a commissioner a ppoiated by the mass meeting assembled on Canal Btreet. He does so, I am Instructed to say, becaue he has definite and accru ate Information that there' are now assembled several lance iKxlies of armed men in different parts of the city who are met at the call which convened the mas meeting which yon represent. He regards this as a menace, and he will receive no commit ni.-ation under such "IrcrnnstAnces. He fn tt hermore directs me to say that should the people assemble pcaceabl y, without menace, he wou:d oeem It one of his highest duties to receive any communlcat'on from them or entertain any petition addressed to the government, l have Yeelved and answered you gentlemen as a member of his staff. (Signed) H. C Diable, Bri. and J udga Advocate General, Louisiana State Militia. To this Mr. Mann-orally replied as follows: Repeat that there are no armed rioters, there are no armed men on Canal street so far as we know. We came on a mission of peace and we bel'evethat if the governor had acceded to the proposition we brought to-day, which was to abdicate, it would have pacified the people of Louisiana and might or would have prevented violent or bloodshed. So far as we are concerned, we are prepared to pledge to him no violence in pen.m and property, and we feel in a posltion.on the contrar, to assure him that there should be txrfect immunity of both." The substance of the foregoing reply was subseiuenilv,atMr. Mann's reqnest.reduced to writing bv the W-jvernor's private secretary and handed to him to read at the mass meeting. Gen. Diable, m the part of the governor, replied ; "I have to repeat what 1 said before, that while there may 1hj no armed men on Canal street, there are imned bodies within a short distance, assembled on the same call as your mass meeting, 'lhe committee then retired, and soon alter reported tiie remit of their Interview to the meeting. The people were then advised to go home, get their arms, and 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 lare number formed in procession and marched up Camp street. THE CALL TO ARMS. PROCLAMATION BY LIEUT. OOV.

Protest after proUst, appeal after appeal to the president of the United States and to Congress have failed to give you the relief you had a right under the constitution to demand. The wrong has not been repaired. On the contrary.throngh the instrumentality of partisan Judges you are debarred from alt legal remedy day bv day. Tajatlon has been increasing with cos and penalties amounting to a confiscation of your property. Your substance is squandered and your credit ruined, resulting in the failure and bankruptcy of your valued institutions. The right of suffrage is virtually taken from you by the enactment of skillfully devised registration and election laws. The Judicial brace of your government has been nicken down by the conversion of the legal pose comitatus of the sheriff to the use of the usurper for the purpose of defeating the decrees of the courts, his defiance of law leading him to use the very force for the arrest of the sheriff while engaged in the execution of processes of the court. To these may be added a corrupt and vicious legislature making laws in violation of the constitution for the purpose of guarding and perpetuating their usurped authority. A metropolitan police, paid by the city under the control of the usui per, quarters upim vou to overawe and keep you in subjection. Every public-right has been denied, and, as if to goad you to desperation, private arras are seized and individualsanested. To such extremities are you driven that manhood revolts at fcither submission. Constrained from a hense of duty, as the legally elected lieutenant governor of the State, acting governor iu the absence of Gov. McEnery. 1 do hereby issue this my proclamation, calling upon the militia of the State, embracing all persons between the ages of 18 and 45 years, without regard to color or previous condition, to arm and assemble under their respective officers, for the purpose of driving the usurpers from power.

The Impression now prevails that no further at tempts will be made by the Metropolitans to disperse their opponents who handled them so rounhly this evening. The city is remarkably iui&tly throughout and no further conflict 1 apprehended before morning. Most of the barricades are made with street railroad cars. Six or eight citizens and twenty or thirty Metropolitans were Killed in the fight this afternoon, and many wounded on hot h ciiiaa Th followinz is the call signed by 50 business men and firms, under which the Canal street meeting or lo-uay assemoiea: CITIZENS OF 2?EW ORLEANS: For nearly two years you have been the silent but Indignant sufferers of outrage after outrage, heaped upon you by an usurping government. One by one your dearest rights have been tram pled opon, until at last, in the supreme height of its insolence, this mockery of a republican gov ernment has dared even to deny you that right so solemnlv guaranteed by the very constitution of ihe Unted States, in article two of the amendments, which declares that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. In the same instrument, to whose inviolate perpetuity our fathers pledged their live, their fortunes, their sacred honor, it was also declared that even Congress shall make no law abridging the right oi the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. It now remains for us to ascertain whether this right any longer remains to us. We, therefore, call upon you on Mondav, the 11th day of September, lS"il, to close your places of business without a single exception, and at 11 o'clock, A. m to asse-nble at the Clay statue, on Canal street, and in tones loud enongh to be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land.declaie that you ought to be and mean to le fiee. The Canal street meeting to-day adopted the following resolutions: Whereas At the general election held In Louisiana ou the 4th day of November, 1872, John McEnery was elected governor by'a large majority of near 10.C00 over his opponent, Wm. Kellogg, and D. P, Tenn, lieutenant governor by a majority of 13,000 over his opponent, U. C. Antoine, and Whereas, By fraud and violence those defeated seized the executive chair an, from time to time, by other irregular, fraudulent and violent acts in the face of the report of the committee of the Senate of the Unittd States appointed to investigate the affairs of liouisiaua, that the existing government of the State is an usurpation, the result of a violent abuse of judicial functions and sustained by force. W. P. Kellogg has continued ldmself iu power to the gross wrongs and outrage of the people of the state of Louisiana and to the imminent danger of republican institutions . throughout the entire country, and, Wiiekkas, With a view to controlling and determining the results of the approaching election to be held in L' nUiana, in November next, he has. uuder an act known as the registration act, and passed for the purpose of defeating the popular will, secured to nimself and his party the power o: denying registration to bonafide citizens, whose applications before the courts for a mandamus to compel the assistant supervisors to enroll and register them has been refused. The registration law indeed punishing the courts it they have to take cognizance of such appeals, and Whekkas, by false and infamous misrepresentations of the feelings and motlvesof the people, he has received the promise of and from the federal armv Disced at the orders of the attorney general of the United States, and subject to the calls of United StaUs marshals, lor Hie purpose of overawing our State, and controlling the election, and Whereas, in the language or me can aer the meeting, one by one our dearest rights have been trampled upon, and at last in the supreme height of 1 s Insolence, this mockery of a republican government has dared even to deuy that right so solemnly warrantee! oy tne very constitution of the United States, which. In article two of the amendments, declares that the right of the people to keep and bear arras shall not be infringed, be it Itesolved, That we reaffirm solemnly the resolutions adopted by the white people of Louisiana in the convention assembled at Baton Itousre on the 21th of Aug., 1871, that the whites of Louisiana havs no desire to deprive the colored people of any rights to which they are entitled : that W. P. Kellogg Is a mere usurper and we denounce him as such; that his government is arbitrary, unjust and oppressive, and can only maintain itself through federal interference; that the election and registration laws under which the election is being conducted were intended to perpetuate usurpation by depriving the people, and especiatly our naturalized citizens, of an opportunity to register and vote; and, therefore, in the name of the citizens of New Orleans, now in mass meeting, and of the peonle of the State of Louisiana, whose franchise has been wrested from them by fraud and violence, and all of whose rights and jibertfea have been outraged and trampled upon, we demand of W. P. Kellogg his immediate abdication.

In so doing they are supported by tbe great body of the intelligent and honest people of the State. They declare their sincere loyalty and respect for the United States government and its officers. They war only acalnst usurpers, plunderers and enemies of the'people. They affirm their entire ability to malutain in peace ana to protect tue nie, 1 1 liberty and the equal rights of all classes of citi zens. The party and ollicialsof the United States it shall be our special aim to defend against all assaults, and to treat with the profoundest repect and loyalty. We only ask of you to with hold any aia or protection iromour enemies ana the enemies of republican rights and of the peace and liberties of this people. (Signea.) i . u. 1-enn, Lt. Gov. and Acting Gov. ORDER RESTORED. New Orleans, Sept, 15,11 aji. Gen. Freder ick Ogden has Just made a speech from the gallery of his headquarters, stating that the war was over, and advising the people to go quietly to their homes, and to resume their usual vocations. Gov. Penn this morning appointed Thomas Eoylan, ihe well krown detective, chief of police. Mr. Boyian lcnow organizing a force. An extra i'icayune contains tne following: As might have been expected after the decisive victories of yestei day and the consequent demoralization o& the Kellogg forces, the finish this morning was a very brief and unexpected affair. Abmt 8 'M o'clock the State house was occupied by the citizens' forces and by 9 o'clock the third precinct station, among the last of lhe radical government's strongholds, was, attera sharp little assault, captured and apEropiiated. So ends the Kellogg regime, ig, inflated, insolent and overbearing, lt collapsed at one touch of honest indignation and gallant onslaught. Its boasted armament dissolved before the furious rush of our citizens. Its sneering, thieving, unscrupulous chieftains hid like moles a.d Its mercenaries fled like stampeded cattle. A dozen gallant lives, worth more than all the sneaking carpel-baggers and refhan soldiers that ever squatted on a btate's carcass, have been sacrificed on the altar of lib erty. The b.ood of gentlemen and patriots have dyed the stones of our thoroughfares, and the hhockis over. The Kellogg dynasty has passed Into a black and bitter memory, and Louisiana, throughout its borders t4-day is free. Governor Penn's residence, 25tf St. Charles street, was filled all the morning with citizens congratulating him on the situation. Messrs. juarr, i-.iiis, Beam, ana otners were present. When the news of the surrender of the police reached them, there was universal delight and cheers. Mayor Wiltz called at the governor's residence about 10 o'clock. Our Metro politans were caugnt in tne t; nitea states attire and arrested. They conlessed that they were Metropolitans, threw away their coats and were carried up to headouarters to be paroled. Andey Dumont, member of Kellogg's legislature and the school board, then surrendered himself and gave some idea of the inside workings of Kellogg's officers. According to Mr. Dumönt KELLOGG DISAPPEARED before a shot was fired and has never been heard from since. At 9 o'clock this morning Louisiana leaped from bordage into the full strength and splendor of freedom. Borne dowm repropressed, tortured and despoiled for six long weary years, tne pest oi speculators and the spoils of thieves, her great arm has at last been lifted and wiih a tremendous blow tbe fetters have been stricken from her limbs. For this one day, If never again, she breathes the air of liberty. Her persecutors are scattered. The scurvy horde of robbers, paid ruffians and brutal task masters, are vanished. There is no one who dares to brave the indignation of a great people roused at last. The Picayune congratulates the noble State in which lor nearly half a centurv its destines have been cast. If at any time In the past it has seemed lacking In waimth and sympathy, it has been because we differed in opinion as to the wisest method of achieving the commonly desiedend. We may do so again, but with the freedom, the emancipation oi our people, with tbe gallant assertion of the people's rights and the glorious manifestation of our brethren's courage, the Picayune's heart beats in union and swells in honest affection and pride. We congratulate New Orleans as the author of the grand blow which has treed the State. We congratulate Louisiana on the long breath of freedom she inspires to-day. It is of the utmost importance that our citizens should enforce order and extend protection to all peaceful citizens. There are always on occasions like the present disorderly and turbulent persons who little think of the great responsibility they incur by abusing or ill treating those for whom they entertain any personal animosity. All peaceable persons should be protected, and lt Is the duty or every citizen to be a police officer. With that view the cause of our people and the interests of a great commercial city, as New Orleans is, are too sacred to be forgotten. Under the uew regime every citizen, without regard to race, color or condition, is entitled to protection and full freedom. The government is determined to maintain order and connaence, ana ew Orleans will soon be again the prosperous and happy city of the South THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.

Marrwiih the most happy effecL Mr. Marr ccngratulated the ctizeus or New Orleans on the signal victory they had achieved over the usurpation under which they had suffered. He hoped that the determined stand they had taken would be marked by a careful avoidance of unnecessary violence, and would convince the peop.e and the government of the United States mat the only jKJsiUoa they bad assumed was that they must restore the state to the charge of its elected officers save it from ruin, ana proieci us citizens without regard to class or race. It had been rumoreu that. Kellos? and Lougstreet were under arrest, lie ciaimed tbat they should besubjected to no Indignity. The object or the government was attained.

He Is doing well this morning. The ioliowlng PROCLAMATION hasjust been issued: MAYORALTY OF NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15, 1871. Citizens of New Orleans: It becomes my duty to congratulate you upon the restoration of the duly elected and rightful State authorities. After enduring for nearly two years tbe control of usurpers, their acts of tyranny have at length called for resistance. This was instantaneous, universal andentiieiv successful, uot a single usurping official being now In exercise of his functions within the limits of this citv. Tne employment of force became a necescty. We dep.ore the resulting loss of life, while we honor the memory of the noble men who fell in defence of the rights dear to all who desire to be free. Upon this signal and most honorable re covery of your political as well as civil rights. I if i nie au vise exueine moderation, itesume your avocations as soon as dismissed from the organized ranks. Use tbe utmost forbearance toward tnose wno noid political opinions adverse to yours. Interfere with no peaceable assemblage of your fellow citizens of any race or color. Use all your influence 'to preserve peace and to maintain the supremacy of the law. Prove to the world that you can be as forbearing to those who have usurped and abused authority as you were patient aud long suffering under their tyranny. Seek no revenge for ismt Injuries, but leave your fallen enemies to the tortures of their own consciences and to the lasting infamy which their acts have won for them, isigued) Lewis A. Wiltz, Mayor. THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. THE PRESIDENT SHOCKED AT SUCn PROCEED INGSHE SAYS HE IS IN EARNEST INSUFFICIENCY' OF TROOPS AT NEW ORLEANS. Washington, Sept. 15. Dispatches received from General Emery, through the war department, from New Or leans are brief, and only confirm the press despatches. The president. In conversation, to-day, expressed his surprise at the conduct of the opponents of the Kellogg government in resorting to arms to maintain their political position, or, in other words, inaugurating civil war. Hehad, io many ciuzens oi .Louisiana, expiessed a kindly disposition toward the people. aud hoped for better things, but it seemed that they had misjudged if they thought tbat resort to violence ou their part would be passed by by the government. In this connection he incidentally remarked tbat prompt measures would be taken to suppress further disturbances, and a similar course would have saved the country from the late rebellion. After signing the proclamation the president himself wrote two military orders addressed to the commanders, saying la erlect that they must protect lite and preserve peace to the best of their ability. All orders to be issued by them must be previously submitted to the proper military authorities for approval. There is no regular plan of military movements, but orders will be Issued to meet the emergency. Troops will be sent to New Orleans in such numbers as may be required, as the president is determined to save life and preserve the peace. Gen. Sherman andSecretaiy Belknap both being aDsent fr m Washington, military ordersare Issued through Adjutant ten. Townsend.

The obnoxious features of the election and registration laws used by the lusiouisis in tne last election nave been re pealeo:, and in tbe appointment of officers of resisir.iuon i nave voluntarily tendered to the opiilion a representation which they entirely deniedtothe republican party at the last election. Finding as the registration progressed to impeach the t ramers, of which they themselves were unable, that they would be left still more in a 'minority at this election than ever before if the vote's were allowed free, nntrammeled, unintlinidated franchise, they have by a long prepared plan violently overthrown tbe government even before the election to prevent the evidence that t hey had not a majority before. Upon the shallow pretexts of violence, and by incendiary statements and appeals they have got together their clans which they havi organized in secret and drilled In their ciub rooms in the city, have taken possession of the public offices by violence and bloodshed. Personally I have no de 6ire to discharge the very onerous and vexatousdntles ot governor, but I feel it a duty I owe to the State and to the party to hold on until relieved by competent authority. THE PRESIDENT PUZZLED. MEETING OF THE' CABINET SURMISES AS TO THE COURSE TO BE TAKEN RENEWAL OF MAIL FACILITIES. Washington, D. C, Sept. 1C The president did not go to Long Branch last night, owing to the events at Louisiana. A brief cabinet meeting was held this morning, at which Secretaries Fish and Brlstow, Attorney General Williams, Postmaster General Jewell and Acting Secretary of the Interior Coven, were present. They discussed the Louisiana question and without definite action, adjourned until 3 o'clock this after noon to further consider the subject. The condition of affairs in Louisiana being novel and the first case of the kind where the State antborlties recognized by the president have been ejected by a force of citizens, and other officers substituted, ihe question arises as to what sha 1 be done by the federal power in the premises in other words, whether Kellogg and his associates shall be reinstated or the McEnery party permitted to retain possession of the State government. Tbe subject being of delicate aud important character, lt will be considered with due deli be ation, and a decision reached at the . cabinet meeting this evening. It is considered in ofticial quarters that the extraordinary proceedings in Louisiana do not concern tbat State alone, but all the states in the Union, as tbe recent proceedings there, if couutenanted by the general government, m ght become a precedent in other sections of the country, to the detri ment of tbe entire people, and might inaugurate a system which would substitute military power for legal forms in the conduct of State administrations. It is believed that measures will be taken forthwith to reinstate the Kehogg administration with all the force at the command of the government. .
