| WASHINGTON, December NO further
| information has been received in official
circles relative to the troubles in New Or
leans other than contained in the dispatches
sent last night, In the early part OF this
| week 1t was expected that the United States
| court would render a decision in the War
| moth Kellogg case.
| The following telegram was sent hence,
| dated Washington:
| TO s. & Packard, United States Marshal, Gew Or.
| leans;
| You are to enforce the DEGREES and man
| dates of the United States courts, no matter
| by whom resisted, and General Emory will
| furnish you with all necessary troops for
| that purpose.
GEORGE II. WILLIAMS,
Attorney General.
| At. the same time instructions were sent
| from the War Department to General
| Emory, commanding at New Orleans TO
furnish the United States marshal with a
military posse when required, to enforce
| the mandates of the United States court.
| The action of Marshal Packard and Gen
| eral Emory, as reported last night, is fully
| approved by the authorities here. 1t is not
| the desire OF the administration to interfere
! with the civil law of Louisiana, and no in
structions sent there can be so construed,
but it is determined to fully sustain the
United States courts and to enforce their
| mandates against all parties.
a bill IS being prepared, and will shortly
be introduced into Congress, strengthening
the election law so as to prevent the posi-
bility OF the recurrence Of such troubles as
are now pending in Louisiana, Arkansas
and Alabama.

here to-day, and laid before the President,

The occupation of the State House here

A special to tho New York Times says !
that General Sherman was before the House |
Committee on Military Affairs this morning
for two hours, and made an important state |
ment on the general opposition to the pro-
posed consolidation of the staff corps of the |
army He criticised on the evils arising |
from the present semi-independent position |
of the Ordnance and Engineer bureaus, |
which were, in a measure, the representa- |
tive development OF a consolidated staff |
corps. The committee had this proposition |
before them at the last session, and have |
now resumed its consideration, but hardly |
with the serious purpose OF pressing action. |
General Shermau's statement was taken |
down in shorthand for future reference
