New ORLEANS CRY ELEcTIoS Another
riot was apparently imminent at New Or
leans on Monday, and from the same cause
as the former one, viz, conflict Of authority
between Gov. Wells and the rebel Mayor
Monroe. The Gov. took the ground that
under the Reconstruction Act, the negroes
might vote, and the disfranchize1l rebels
might not. The Mayor maintained that the
old election law was in force because the
Reconstruction bill had not been officially
proclaimed in Louisiana. Gen. Sheridan
settled the trouble by issuing orders that no
polls be opened and that the day Of election
be postponed until District Commander
under the law is appointed, or special IN
structians are received covering the case.
