Emory, commanding the Department of the üolT, New Orlean : Snt-1 reg to call your attention, first to an extractor th aoeech of United States Senator ft-Aurz, at St. Louis, last night, as follows: . He then referred to the fact that an election for a new legislature U . Impending, and that the United States troops are there professedly to enforce the laws In that election, but whether . they will be used Impartially or not will depend v upon who controls tbem. This control will be ; in - a ' great measure . In ' the hands of ffce .'.United' . States .Marshal Packard, who, beside ' Oeing . mar-bal, was one of the'prlncipal accomplices of Judge Durell and Kell OK In the usurpation two years ago, and Is now toe managing spirit of the State central committee of the Kellog party. Tins Is not a fit person to control he United States troops to be nsed In tbat election. It is of the highest Importance that, especially under the existing circumstances, the people of Louisiana should not only hare a fair election but also that they ehoald be made to feel that they have one. The past performances and present functions Of Mr. Packard are - no elcukUxl to Intpie confidence, lam sure the whole country would appland an order from the president ' relieving Packard of bis official duties, and the sabstitatioi of a man of uch character that everybody will believe him Incapable of abusing his power for partisan ends. . Second, to the communication of the eorair.tteeof seventy, thronen K. H. Marr. chairman, to the president of the United States, under date of September 8, IS74. . Here follows, in Packard's communication to Kmory, tbe resolution and appeal protesting against placing at the disposal of the attorney -general the United States troops for the purpose of assisting the marshal of this rfiatrict. i-L R. Packard, in carry In on the prose cutions against the people of Louisiana, and re questing fackard's removal irom omoe on account of his violent partisanship, etc., and then Mr. Packard continues: ... My purpose for calling toot attention to these matters Is to inquire of yon whether 1 have at any time since you hava bees In command of the Department of theOulf used, or attempted to nse or control tbe United States troops for po litical purpose In any manner wnatever; ana aim whether or not yon have observed in onr official relations and intercourse anything, which, In yooroplnion, Justifies the imputations and ebarges set forth by Senator Schurz and the commute or seventy, Very respectfully your ob'dt. servant, sr.- - , : i i . ' s. r. Packard, : U.S. Marshal. ; . ' ' Ukadqttabteb Dept. o Gcif., New Obleaks, Sept. 25, 1874, To S. B. Packard, Esq., U. 8. Marshal. sir: In reply to your note of this' date. 1 have to state . most r emphatically that since I have been in com mand of this department that you or no one else has used or attempted to use or control the United States troops for political purposes in an) manner whatever. There has been, nothing in our official relations to Justify the charge that yon design to nse the troops for political purposes or have ever done so, and If you do desire sncn a nse i uo not see now you are to use mem for an v such nurcxjse: for. be assured, any such attempt would be promptly and Immediately re sented bv both officers. Those who make buch charges are totally Ignorant of the character of the regular troops ana tne tcaignauon mat would attend any attempt to use them for polit ical purpose. Very retpectfully, your obedient servant, V. II. JkMORV. THE COURAGEOUS KELLOGG. A WORD OF PAL.LIATIOI SIX OF ONK AND HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER. Nrw Okleaks, Sept. 25. The Picayune of to day contains the following: Even Kellogg Is en titled to a fair hearing, and the defense against the unjust Imputations of one of these proceed lng from his party allies is so patent and fla grant that we feel bound to say a word In his behalf. This Is the charge of cowardice in the particular act of his abandonment of the State house before an advancing army of 10,0u0 armed citizens. In Washington City, and all over the North, the extreme radicals corupiain that he did not remain at the State house and meet the enemy at tbe threshhold,- aword in hand. and - perish like a man in defense of his righ la and government. Those pntmacions and mendacious personages, .Messrs. Wet, Durrel, Lowell, Benham. et al are especially em pbatieln condemnation of the pusillanimity of Kellogg. .It Is quite a neat answer of Kellogg to all . this cheap display of Spartan heroism. when. In his telegram to West, he regrets the absence of bis sanguinary friends In the moment of his great periL They would doubtless have constituted a powerful body guard to support mm in tne reprouucuon at me u uoum iiotei ofthat dismal and heroic tragedy in which The odoreof Abyssynia ended his career in a way worthy or an emperor.

Senator Schurz made a lengthy and elaborate sreech upon national and State questions at the Temple to-night. After referring In general terms to the present condition of the public mind, the. wide spread and deep distrust and skepticism which, have taken place . of confident' aksnranee . , aud sanguine expectations ' formerly prevail1. 11c rutnri ill ill m uistuwiun f Louisiana affairs. He reiterated his opinions expressed In the Keoate tbat the Kelloeir gov ernment is a usurpation, but it had been recog nizee ov tne president, and when, last week, the McEneryites overthrew it. the nresident constitutionally reinstated it, and tbat was the enu 01 me Louisiana revolution; but It is not tne ena 01 the disease; neither Is , It the final remedy. A great wrong has been 'committed. The wrona: doesnot conxist in th 1 nti.rvpii . ion of the president against those .who, by force of arms, naaunven Keuogg to fight, for the president acted In the exercise of bis constituiiooal authority. eitner can. in a remiblie. the rieht of self-help by fone be admitted, for buch an admission-would encoorage : every party, every individual that has a grievance, either real or imaginary, to re or I to force for redreaa. a state 01 anarchy would ensue which no polttl cal or social organization could withstand. But the great wrong was committed before. It was when a federal judge, palpably overstepping the limit 01 nis jurisdiction and perpetrating an outrage without precedent in our history, was supportea Dy tne power or the na tonal go era meat in tne act 01 virtually cieaiing a tat government which had rot the least evidence ran election by tbe people. It was when, even alter tne president bad confessed bis coubt,con greas neglected to undo the usurpation and to make room for those who had prima facie evl denceof an election by the peopie.i The wrong was commuted even before that, aud in more States than Louisiana. ' It was when federal of rice holders in the South were permitted to use their authority and prestige as a power in a partisan conflict a d for the support and per pet nation or . partisan Sta'e governments, and the most rapacious and . corrupt that ever diss raced a renubliean country It was when the k eplng of Southern States was deemed mora Important than tbat they should cave honesty and constitutional government or was that the only wrorjz committed In tbe Sooth. There was another, and on the other s.de. It was when bands of lawless ruffians In fested tbe Southern country, spread lng terror . by cruel . persecution and mur der. it was when helpless prisoners were slaughtered ' in cold " blood ; it , was when neither office's nor vol on teets 'could be found - to - arrest the perpetrators of such bloody deeds,, or no Juries to convict them; it was when the better clasees of society contented themselves with condemnation reso lutions and pious wishes, Instead of straining every nerve to Dring tne malefactors ta jnstiea. Ana now it is said tnat many 01. , jl . 1 THE BLOODY STORIES ' which reach ns from the south are in ven lions or exaggerations,' that may have been, and undoubtedly In some cases were so, but we know also1 that: very many of them were but too true and that thev can .not be explained as a . mere defense against official robbery. And the murdered ' victims were mostly poor negroes, while he real plunderers went tree ana sate, we know, also, that mere IS a ruffianly element in the South, which, unless vogorously restrained by all tbe power of society, will resort to bloody violence as a pastime, especially when it is permitted to be.ieve itself engaged In a partisan seivlce'o be' sale under the protection of public opinion; The senator says this is the state of things we have to deal with, and asks, is there no remedy except em ployment of force. He, thinks,' there - is, and proceeds to say there Is no further attempt at ad anarchlal movement on the part of tbe people of Louisiana, but there Is auotber kind of anarchy which is Just as dangerous to republican institutions and 10 the w ifareofthe nation as the lawless self-help by force of indi dividual parties. is iheauarcby of power ,It is the lawlessness of authority. . If you want people to respect and obey laws, convince thera that those In power do not wllfnlly disregard tbem. tie men reierrea to the tact that ln eiec tlon for: 1 a new legislature is impending; tbat United States .. troops ar there proessedly to enforce laws;, in that election ?' but ' whether. ' they- i ' be used impartially or not will depend upon who cob trois them.- This contract will be In a great meaMir in tbe bands of United States Marshal Packard, who. besides being marshal, was one of the principal accomplices or Judge Darren and Kelfoirs in the usurpation two yers ago, and Is now the managing spirit of the State central committee of the- Kel ogg party. This Is not a fit person to control the.Lnited States- troops Lu do usea in mat election, it is 01 toe manest im portance that especially nnder existing circum stance, that tne people 01 Louisiana should no only have a fair election, but also that they should be made to , feel that they have one.. . The past , performances and j piesr ent Junctions in Mr. rackard .are not calculated to Inspire l confidence. I am snre the whole country would aoDlaud an order from tbe president relieving Mr. Packard of his official duties and the substitution -of a man of such character that everybody will : be lieve him Incapable of abusing his power for partisan ends. He then urges that all the federal office-holders In the southern States, who uave looked upon themselves as mere party agents using all their influence to sustain and strengthen the blood-suckers desolating tbat country, and probably not In many cases oblivious of their own profit, be stripped or tneir omctai powers; and .says ne was rejoicea a iew . days age, when reading in tne papers, mat tne president was contemplating the holding of a terrible muster of the federal placemen in the South ; never was It more necessary. Let ushonethat notasinzle one or tnose wno nave made the federal author ity a symbol 01 , ... . . , , -.". SELFISH PARTISAM POWER 7 ' and greedy oppression may escape him, and that the beginning be made with Packard and his associates. But, he says, the dnty of the govern ment " does " not end here. ' Congress should at ' , once, . , on reassembling, i undo Lhe ; . usurpation set . 'on' ' foot ' l by federal Judge and supported by a United States marshal and federal bayonets and make every eittien understand and feel tbat, while preserving intact tne lawiui autnonty ot tne Kovernment. they are ready to throw aside all selfish considerations of party interest when the rights and welfare or me people and tne lntegriTvof republican institutions are in question. On the other hand tbe dtl sens of tbe South must not be permitted, to JO -get mat they, too. have a duty to perform. Tbe people of the North sincerely desire that they should have an honest and constitutional government. Even a large majority of the republicans in tbe North have long been heartily disgusted with the government of thieving adventurers which nlnndered the South: but when that public opinion was on tbe point of becoming so strong that no partisan spirit in power could have long resisted it. what rappenedf The bloody riot in New Orleans in 18t6, the organisation of KnKiux all over tbe South, the butchery ot Grant parish in 1873, the murders of Cousbatta, the slaughter of helpless negro prisoners in Trenton. Tenn.. not to speak of minor atrocities. What was theenectT The Frowin sympathy with the sections of plunder was turned into sympathy with the victims 01 muraer. u is to be hoped that " by this 1 time ' the people of the South have learned ' that those who disgrace them by deeds or bloody violence are their worst enemies.' Let them act upon tbat lesson: let tbem dissolve their White Men's leagues, for- every organization based upon a distinction of color is not only wrong in itnolf .hnt hrmtnl in both rartea. 1 t't them make tbe poor negro feel tbat be has not only a wiiling.but an active protector in every good citizen. .Let tbem understand that the most efflcien t method to - - . j , . . - , . i j-tOHT THB THIEVES .

Silent disappioval Is nothing, good intentions are nothing, mere publie resolutions are nothing, only vigorous action wm avail, uniy tne prac tical : Dunlchment of malefactors will serve. They , Justly demand that no thief shall find arace because he Is a republican with th era orbecau-e he is a democrat. Let nartv anirit mm to be a shell er to the criminal.

There is no salvation for tne Southern people; but that f-pirit prevails in the 'n.no no partisan mm in tbe North will oe strong enough lo baflle the svmtjatnv their misfortunes deserve, and the Sou In will again enjoy the largest constitntlonal measure of selfgovernment, and one of lhe gr atest of those dangers will di appear which al present threaten the tu 01 Vi al rart Of onr ronuhl tlons After showing the bad effects ot teaching negroes that their safety lay in organization as (-nn me wniiw, ana malting them parti an supporters of corruption and robbery, and denouncing tbe men vhn aa ihi. ih. crudest, most treacheious, and , - MOST DASTARDLY XNEMrS the colored peop!e ever had, be dbtcufses the civil rights bill.

If it becomes a law, it will break op the who public school system of the Southern States, and nobody will be a greater sufferer thereby than the colored people. It la a wen known fact that in thstttinniinfr. a bulk of the colored population there exists i wide-spread and powerful prejudice against the Introduction of tbe system oi common so pools to be supported at the public expense. We know something of that even in Missouri.

THEIR SOCIAL POSITIONS were made the objective point of a new strife under circumstances so unfavorable.
