OPINIONS OF THE NEW ORLEANS PRESS.
The summary proceedings Of General Bnt-
Ter are gradually restoring order In the city,
and at the came time fill the minds Of the edi-
tors with amazement.
Upder the head Of 's a Lesson Of the Time,n
the PcdyYHe counsels the people to practice
economy and help the poor, and in another
article thus discusses the present posture Of
affairs
"Under existing circumstances, We do not
know that a better arrangement could have
been made between those who hare had con-
fded to them the task and the duty OF admin
isteEing the municipal government Of our city
and that power to which the chances of Har
have consigned the military rule here, than
that which has been come TO between them.
It Wss mntterin which, in point offsct, there
was hardly an alternative, and the settlement
in whatever degree favorable to us, clear
concession on the part Of the stronger power,
and abatement Of might, to that extent, in "a
we arc bound to regard 1t faithfully, as the
best we can obtain.
"The Common Council Of this city, after
conference with the military commander,
have determined upon this course Of conduct:
to administer, as heretofore, the municipal
government with the understanding that
they shall not be interfercd with in all matters
OF police proper, unless disturbances should
occur, calculated to enGanger the relations
created by the existing state fittings between
the city and the invading army and the mill
faly commander in terms comedies that this
action OF the council is clearly within the
spirit and the terms Of the proclamation is
kued BY him on assuming command.
"in consonnuce with this understanding
Cen Butler, it is understood, leaves the mu-
nlcipal authorities In the exercise Of their
normal functions, confides the civil govern
ment Of the city to the hands Of its chosen
officers, in all matters Of police regulation,
and agrees, as part Of the arrangement, to
remove the great body Of his troops from the
heart Of the city to its environs.
''As ne have already said, we do not sec
hew. situated as We are, VIC could have antici-
pated a more faYgEable result of these negoti-
ations, in the%eompletion Of which some ct
our most jndieious and Influential citizens,
together with the Mayor and the Council have
taken part.
Our first Sunday under United States dom
nation, is the title Of article in the Ds1ia,
Which gives general view Of afIairs. The
following is one passage:
History has no similar instance OF 50
united and unanimous population as that of
New Orleans in the present emergency. It is
THIS knoW1edge which has suppressed all
tumu1t and violence-which ennbIes the SOL
diers ct the United States, little while ago
regarded with such intense hate and eumity.
to walk our streets in perfect security from
the slightest Intercourse between either OIL
GERS and soldiers and our citizens, except Of
an official character. Our people submit to
military rule, but with not the slightest sacri-
ice Of their honest convictions, and with a
unanimous protest against rhe political au-
thority Of the United States within this city
and State. They are OF one will, one feeling,
one determination on this point They otfsr
no resistance to Gen. Buffers military au-
thority, hu: they say calmly, resolutely and
earnestly, it is not OF their will, desire or cor
sent, but by their coercion and subjugation
| that they 60 submit.''
;. 4 gradual change seems to have come over
| the spirit Of the New Orleans Journalists.
From day to day the leading articles grow
mnder, and 81 United States domination is
| regarded II the latest papers We have received
! as thing which is not SO very terrible after
| all. For instance, the Delta SAYS:
The city authorities haFlng pledged them-
selves in behalf Of our citizens for the safety
Ct the officers and soldiers Of the United
States army when moving through our streets,
and that our people would rcfrain from mo-
testing or insulting them, General Butler has
also slgnltied his intention to remove his men

Of the city; We think NC may promise Oh
