order granted yesterday by Judge Dur
rell, placing the whole matter Of the or
ganization ofthe Legislature in the hands
Of the Custom House party, Is the genera
topic of conversation. Even the Repub

Orleans special to the Herald states
that on authority Of Gen. Emery,

about 10000 Federal troops there, the
only U. s. soldiers in the city are the 10th
Infatry, two Batteries Of the 1st Artillery
and squadon Of Cavalry. They are
held 10 readiness to obey the mandates OF
the United States District Court, unless
possibly some absurd service is required.
The Gen. had special order to furnish the
Marshall with whatever force 1t required
to carry out the DEGREES OF the Court. He
anticipates no resistance, for the peonle
would have no chance. Their pro.
posed indignation meeting, on Mon.
day, will not be intcrfered with
except in obeying orders, unless il
should be construed into disrespect for
the Court. No antagonism exists between
the people and troops, and the General
believes that everything will pass of
smoothly. ,ls

The fusion leaders speak confidently ol
their ability to win, and claim that the
issue between sovereignty and central

powerless to resist. Parties in the con-

the old city government will be reinsta-
ted Monday and Warmoth committed to
prison Tor contempt. On the other hand
Warmoth Is reported to have received
dispatches from several Governors Of

to stand firm and he will receive political
support. Evidently affairs, are assuming
