net have been mainly eng.igi'd throii-hout Ihe »laywith the Louisiana (jtit'-ti»«n. After the Presidentbad st,r t«d his bairgnge last night fur the train, andwa-, about follo44iiiL'liinisi It, Secretaries Fish, Bris¬tow, and Jewell drove up, and. after a brief con¬

sultation, the President d»-tided uot to leave thecity at près« tit, anil tin- conductor of the train,-btcli was waiting foi lum, was informed of thechange in the programme. Early tins morn¬

ing the Cabinet was calleil, ami when it assembledit was suggested, alter I genera) and informal inter¬change «if views, that an adjournment should takeplace till 3, and that each member should retnrn

then, prepared to make suggestions in re. ard to thematter in hand. A few moments'consultation was

suffi» ient to show that the Cabinet was unanimousia the conviction that tho only course open to thePiesideut is to support the Kellogg Gov¬ernment, and to reinstate it in power. Dis¬patches were immediately forwanlwl to New-Orleansto the etlect that, under no circumstances _____M_r,should the Penn Government be recognized. Kel-logg's personal conduct yesterday, received them»*8t severe and unqualified condemnation.Tub de«»ertion of his proper post was char¬acterized as cowardly, and it was agreed on

all hands, that the greatest difficulty inthe whole problem, arose from the personnel of theKellogg Government. It seemed to be concededthat the government which had ousted Kellogg was

one that would be better for the peace and generalprosperity of the State than the one overthrown ;but, notwithstanding this, as the creation of vio¬lence and armed rebellion, it hail no claims or rightswhich the General Government could recognise.The question of establishing a military govern¬

ment until anew election can be held, as re«pi( .todby telegraph, by a nnmber of influential personswas fully considered, but it was soon dismissed as

establishing, if adopt «.«I, a very »langemus pre¬nd« nt. and one which all tho Southern State-would soon prepare to follow. There _oenis tobe a strong feeling among the Cabinet«»flic« is that the insurgent«»' movement em¬braces some of the best men in the .Nut.-, butat the tame time, all are convinced that there is aUrge rebel element among the support».., to strong,in fact, thal it cannot be encouraged even to tbeslightest extent. It was roeolved to make knownMthe insurgent« that the Government will utterlyrefuse to recognize them, and will use all the meansin ita control to compel the surrender of themachinery of the Bute Government to Kellogg.It was determined to send al) the available troops

to Louisiana at once. Two men-of-war have alsobeen ordered tram Key Wost to proceed to ew-Orieans and lay off Um city. Both Gen. Terry »b4Oeu. Si.nmlau ara named m öfters likely to bavecoBnaaftd. bat earing th» afternoon this bad no4

been docided. Senators have telegraphed to-day to

inquire whether an extra session of Conu ress was

likely, but a« yet no decision has l»eeu reached on

this point. To-day, the Eresidont's belief U that it

will not lie ii'-sscssary. Consultations are

to be held avoty day hy the Cabinetuntil the uve days na_nied in the proclama¬tion expire, and some dotinite conriKi is announced.The great necessity of getting rid of Kel ogg and

Antoine, the Licnt-enant-Oovernnr. is recognised byall, but whether they can be induced tor« sign, or

wnothor their faction can furnish better men, even

if they wcroont of tho way, aro questions that, as

yet, cannot lie answered.The Presidout has received many telcgTams from

prominent mon iu the citizens' movement, settingforth that perfoot order prevailed, nud giving glow¬ing aocouuts of tho beautv of the situation ._.- seen

from tho Conservative point of view. No replieswere sent to these, though a positive statement was

cinveyed to difl._rt.nt part* of the Htate, that underno pnai.it.lc circumstances will the McEuery partybe recognized.The office of Statt Treasnrer of Louisiana wa« not

one of those involved in the election of 1KTJ, the

present incumbent having been chosen in 1870 (»r 9

term of four years. Dispatches received from N«-w-

Orh-aii.«. to-day indicate that the revolutionary Gov¬

ernment had attempted to get possession of theState Treasury, and tho Treasurer a_»k«d forthe protection of the Uuited States. lu re¬

sponse, Gen. Emory was ordered to protect the

Treasury, and will, of course, do so. This action is

particularly interesting to many creditors of the

State in the North, and especially in New-York,where many louisiana bonds aro held. For more

than a year there has been accumulating in thehands of the State Treasurer considerable sums of

money, set apart to pay the interest on the bundeddebt, but which have been tied up by injunctionsgrowing out of questions touching the validity ofthe bonds.Communication, which was yesterday cut ofT be¬

tween Kellog« and the Administration, was restoredfor a time to-day. At about 2 o'clock St uator West

received a dispatch from K« Hogg saying that hewa« in the Custom-house, and asking aduce as to

his future course. Mr. West replied, advising bim to

"stick,'' and assuring him that ho would be sus¬

tained by the United States Government. SenatorW««t also sent a dispatch to R. II. Marr, who bas

The cournc heretotore pursued by Ihe President is

SYRAft'SK, Sept. 1«.-This is not an eut li us a «tieConvention. It does not rise up and howl uponslight provocation. Not being enthusiastic, it is notturbulent or quarrelsome.

V(,ry mi],i mam,oreii an,j meeklu ita outward aspects, and no ouo who¦ »t all familiar with American poli¬tics, can fail to remark, in the faces of the »ble-gales, the peculiar intelligence of Um statesman ofthe time. The New-York City »lelegaiion occnpii-as nsiinl, the front seats, a po«4ition to which modestworth as well as immemorial custom giv«'s them thetitle. The av.'rage city delegation to a Démo¬cratie or indeed any political convention, hascharacteristics marked and peculiar. They arenot always the men whom a discriminating anddisinterested philosopher would select out of apopulation of a million, as exhibiting in their fea¬tures the o-iwlitiuA most desirablu in law-givers andsovenigns, and yet there ii no mistaking thefact that in an enthusiastic gathering wherethey wuve chaira and gesticulate fromthe shoulders, those would be influentialpersons. The consumption of doubtful fluid»» forthe past 34 hours, withont being enormous, has beensteady and constant, hut something either in thecondition of the political atmosphere or the qualityof the fluids has induced moro of a maudliu thau a

combative disposition.The contest being understood to he not so much

I do i.ot imagine that Tildeu'sfriends are over-hearty in their advocacy of thatgentleman. Indeed, I think 1 detect iu the atmos¬phere of the «New-York delegation somethinglike a willingm-A* to see their man sacri¬

ficed u'ion any reasonable pretext. Mr.Tildeu's candidacy does not excite the enthusiasmwhich some others might, for the reason, I suplióse,that his nomination has something the appearanceof a concession to the respectable element Of refondin Î-»' party, winch overthrew the Tweed dvnasty.This Convention «MM to me, to be that of a

partv which, very much against its stomach and itswill, is on its gooil behavior. The men who controltne party are no more in sympathy with reformnow, than they were beforo the dowufall ofTweed. They are not fond of «Mr. fiMcn, because ofhis efforts to clear out Tammany Hall an«! punishTweed. They are shrewd enough to discern thatreform is popular, and that, with IDEM- recordupon this question, it would not be safe to r»'je»thim. Thev are virtuous from necessity, and theytake Tilden with a grimace. This, I think, accountsfor tlielukcwarniness, or what appears to bo luke-warmness, on the part of the New-York and some

other delegations.The proceedings began this moruiug with a neat

little bit of comedy, which wouhl have put a muchless amiable Couveutioti in good humor, and fairlyconvulsed the audience with lauglit<T. The ilele-

it.-M wen in »te-ir n. u«. tho spectators in thegalleries,* and the reporter, waiting with p«'neilssharpem-d for the btiMue-» t«» begin. Mr. John Kellysat near the front and cent'-r, with his square face__fe_ in a solemn stare at the stage, where Mr. Jo-

sepli Warren was bobbing around with great c.ini-

c.st ness and rapiilitv, and the de»'i»-4oiced Perrinwas tignriug over hots of delegates and the prepara¬tion of committees. Suddenly th«' buzz of von«-.-,

was arrest«'d by the sound of the

gav» 1. and the delegates settled __MM*__-I |for business. All eyi-s were furnell to the Chair.1 tier«' sat I person with a ruiniileti shirt bosom andno cravat, a florid coiintenatu <« and a dv«'»l mus¬

tache, straight .as a ramrod and dignified as i j'idge.With great distinctness ami solemnity ho sad:

"The Convention will come to order." Tho voicewas that of a stranger. The delegates ______ a

Jittle blauk at li'-t, then rubbed their cms

and looked again : then sduio ouo Baid," Who in h. is that t" Joe Warr«_u stopped short

in a graieful pirouette and looked at the Chairasthough it was a case of Banqiio'_ ghost. Berrin

di .»¡.(«(I a handful of credentials and looked over

his spectacles ami across his shoulders in a dazed,half frighten» »1 way. «Mr. John Kcllv lean-d for¬ward and look.'d interested. Ever, body stared and

not a few gaped in amazement, Then some-

boily laughed and somebody else, mind¬ful of the dignity of tljo Convention,said in a pronounced wav : " But that mau out.'' A

policeman in full uniform mounted the stage andaddressed the Chair, but amid the shrieks of laugh¬ter the conversation could not be bearii. Labori¬

ously, however, the self-appointed Chairman was

exp«>stulating with the policeman, and asserting his

right to preside, and tho policeman was in doubt.The man looked like, a delegate, and mightpossibly be a member of the Committee, and there

4vas nothing about him but his dyed mustache whichindicated insanity. It was a very pretty tableau,and greatly enjoyed by the Convention, but the fel¬low waa finally hustled off. Except that the name

of Horatio Seymour, when read in the list. >va_ le-

ceived with great applause, there was no other in¬

cident of any iutereet in the foicuoou. proceed-inifs.The afternoon session opened at 4 o'clock with nat

more than half the »leleg.it..* pr.'S.nt. The Chair¬

man announced that the Committee «>n C«»nt«'stedSeats would not be ready to report beforo 7è p. m.,

and thereupon a motion wai ma«lo and declaredcarried, although there were no audible yeas or nays

on either side, that a recesa be takeu till that hour.

THE EVKS1NO SE.-_.ION.

The Convention re___»mbl»*d at 8 o'clock this

evening, when the Committee on Organization re-

portodden. Faulkner for pu nnanent Biesident, who,on taking the chair, made a speech, after which the

proceedings were again brought to a stand¬

still by the non-appearance of the Com¬

mittee on Coutoetod Seats. The Chairmanannounced that they would be ready to-

rvport in half an hour, and meantiine, tho oratora of

tho aasembly were call. 1 ujxn», one after another, to

entertain the oiowd, which waa aa large aa the capa¬

city of the hall would allow. Among tin*« who

responded to the call were Jas. S. Thiiyer. BatrickCorbett, Judge Sturge«, aud Col. John K. Fellows.By the tim»« Mr. Fellows had finished, whieb waa

about 10 o'clock, the Committee on Contested Seat«

arrived in the hall and made their rejtort. Themost important contest was from Albany County,and, contrary to general expceutious, the Commit¬tee reported in favor of what ii callod in «thatlocality the"_lk atoekin«" delegates, b__h_l byAmata J. Barker. Thia was directly opposite to

the decision of last yea. a Democratic Convea-tion, wheo the same issues were pr__»nted.and the Albanian* aay that it will cauae

a aérions split In the party in that county. A con¬

trary decision would have had the same effect, andtbe Convention will have the credit of havingdecided in favor of th* respectables M

agaiust the rou. ht. Tbe oonduct of the in¬ebriate who took josMBSiua uf the Chair thisUaoiuxué. aad who belong«*! to lb« Albany

cont»'St-iiits, did not help his delegation. A dis¬turbance »vas anticipated when the decision of theCommittee was announced, hut none occurrrd. Theileieate«! party had probably gone »mt for a drink,anil the report having be.-» accepted, the Conven¬tion a»Ijournwl till lo o cjo« k to-morrow morning.

THE CANVASSINI; EOR MINOR CANDIDATE»«.There has lieen very lit ti. canvassing t«»-«lay m

relation to the minor eandidiifes on the ticket to tienominated morrow, ami the result may depend.np it often does, upon the turn that affairs may takeaft» r the Convention a.°_ uibleä. There is not likelyto be any slate, and locality will have more or le;-, to«lo with the s« lection of «andidates. There is lessdisposition maaifegfed to give the Liberal Ripubli-cansthe Lieuteuaut-Governorship than yesterday,and Smith M. Weed is strongly urgeil for the place.It being settled that lüden is to I»« the candidate for('»»vernor. Stewart, Cokling, and Whitehouse aro

rule»l out. as coming from the same e:id of the látate.If any Liberal gets the nomination, it will probablyltelliirsheinierof Buffalo, a« it is un _or«4t4»o«l thatneither Seldon n«»r Littlejohn de-ires tho nomi¬nation.

THE ri.ATEORM.Little is yet known of the platform, except that it

will embody the subitam e of the Liberal re. >!li¬rions adopted at Albany and will favor a uniformexcise law through the State. The üerinati dele¬gates lns.et on this. The Committee on Platform isa strong oue and will hardlv fail to hatch outa string of plausible résolutions, but they are a littlepuzzled how to treat the late Southern outrages.Mr. Fellow«, in his speech to-night, gave them a

hint that the outrages were th«- legitimate result often \ ears of radical nile, and very likelv they mayconclude that that is the easiest way to dispose ofthem.
