Ifj thia is so notify all personB to diipore and coinpul compliance with your order. It is the determination of the president to see that the legislature is not molested.

Representatives Gibson, Ellia and Levy, democrats, of the Lou its tana delegation, called on the president to day to ascertain whether interference interfer-ence was contemplated leoking to the recognitiou of either of the rival governments of that state. The sec-rotary sec-rotary of war and the attorney general gen-eral werepresout. The president said he would not in absence of all the facta issue any order recognizing either government, or their reapuctive departments. The president attached no importance to the fuct that one legislature occupied the capitol and the other St. Patrick's hail, and assured the delegation that the troops would bo employed only to suppress violence, preserve the public peace, and prevent collisions. The delegation delega-tion expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the interview. New Orleans, 10. General Augur says he has notified Nicholls and Packard that he would only interfere to keep the peace, and when it wb reported to him last night that. the Nicholls police wore preventing the government officials from visiting the sLute house he promptly notified Nicholls that ha could not allow it. The city is perfectly quiet. There is nulhing to indicate the events which transpired yesterday. Not a single case of violence occurred during dur-ing the Eight. Each eido ii exceedingly exceed-ingly reticieut in regard lo its intentions. inten-tions. Governor Packard statea there is do change in the situation since last evening. The senate still wants1 one of a complete quorum. Ex-Governor Ex-Governor Kellogg and United Statea Marshal Pitkius are very reticent and decline to give any information as to their lines of policy or intentions. Last evening Marshal Pitkiug informed in-formed Gsmem! Ancnr fhnfc hiaripRii- tiea had been refused admission to the Btate houe. General Augur immediately im-mediately communicated witn Governor Gov-ernor Nicholls and state'J, through a staff officer, that this must be stopped. Governor Nicholls said it was not by his order, and directions were then given which caused luch arrangements arrange-ments to be made that there were no restrictions on any peraon either entering or leaving the state house. The Nicholls police patrolled tho streets last night and looked around pretty lively, but made few or no arrests. A train of cars from Mobile brought in several companies of United States troops at 11 o'clock last night. The Republican, in an editorial on the affairs of yesterday, says: As we have at present no government in this state whose authority is undisputed, undis-puted, and as there are two or three congressional committees trying to find the truth about the late election, perhaps the president may deem it bis duty to establish martial law till such time, if ever, as congress shall come to some conclusion and agreement agree-ment in the premises. Such a step would at least give to the business community a season of peace instead in-stead of the Bounds of war alarms and the tramp of armed men that all day yesterday resounded through the Btreets of the city. Though we are tolerably well seasoned to popular commotions here there is a preference on the part ot the majority ot tho people peo-ple for a government ot any kind strong enough to maintain itself over the uncertainties necessarily incident to two armed hostile forces in the same camp. Noon. No trouble is anticipated. The Nicholls party say they are satisfied sat-isfied with the situation and will make no further aggressive advanced. The republican legislature in joint session has just elected ex-Governor Kellogg United States senator for tho long term. A Picayune extra Bays: Alfred Bouges, the newly appointed aheriff of the supreme court, made ademand for the court room this morning, and was refused. It is expected a squad of police will be sent there to take it. |
