The news of the EXCITEMENT IN New Or

pected. Nothing that we bad seen in tue
New Orleans papers for the last few weeks,
led US to anticipate any such scenes as are
recorded. The Baltimore American speak

Committee" says:
This movement has been made ir view of
the approaching municipal election, which
takes place on Monday next, and has been ef
fscted by the managers of theparty which has
nominated the independent ticket" upon
which G. T. Beauregard is named for NJ ayor.
New Orleans, it is we'll known, has been
American 10 its municipal government for
some years past. while the State government
is Democratic. 10 view of the alleged out
RACES and violence which deferred many per-
sons of the Democratic party FROM voting the
Democratic State Legislature, some time ago,
passed law to regulate elections 10 New
Orleans. 1t was Of a very stringent ma
ture, and put the conduct Of the elections
under the control of State officer. The
attempt to carry it into effect last fall
was. however, q failure. The election itself
was quiet one, but it was preceded by acts
which effectually intimida,ed certain por-
ton Of the population from going near the
polls. The Independent party was formed
to overcome this state Of things. They seem
to have OrgsSized thoroughly and to bave
taken measures to secure possession OF the
municipal government at the ensuing election.
1t has been evident from the tone of the no.
toes published by their Executive Committee
that the contest was to be an earnest and bitter
one, but the formation Of Vigilance Com
mittes seeing to have been sudden and on-
suspected movement. They have assumed
fearful responsibility 10 taking such step.
The Common Council Of the city have
evinced determination to maintain their
rights, and, as 10 any event large proper.
