Ii. c. WARMoTH,
Governor Of Louisiana.
Upon resolution, a committee was
appointed :. investigate the United
States Marshals conduct and that OF
his deputies in arresting Governor
Warmoth and representatives, and
denouncing the action as outrageous on
the people OF Louisiana.
At ll:45 the extra session OF the
House adjourned sine die.
The regular session commenced at IL
o'clock. The Carterites remained away,
as Carter himself was not admitted to
the House during the extra session. His
seat being declared vacant, he could
not have obtained admission to the
Capital as the sergeant-at-arms was
instructed to admit none but members,
and, it is said, received special iDstruc-
tions not to admit Carter.
Speaker Brewster called the House
to order at II O clock. After some delay
a quorum was obtained. Gov. War
moth was in his seat. Some little ex-
citement took place occasioned by the
arrival of one of the Governors staff
officers with a message to the Governor
stating that United States troops would
cooperate with the police and State
troops in keeping the peace.
General Sully and staff called on
Governor Wormoth this afternoon stat
ing that he had been sent by General
Emery to cooperate with the troops and
police in preserving order. He informed
the Governor that his men were under
arms on Rampant street ready for any
emergency. The Governor stated he
thought the troops would not be re-.
quired as communication received
from Mr.. Carter led him to believe that
no disturbance would be created.
The Twelfth Nights Revel, Mystic
Society, appeared on the streets tonight,
representing humor according to
Shakespeare. Dickens, Irving and other
humorous authors. The display was
excellent.
The war between the two wings OF
Republicans continues, though as yet,
no collision has occurred. The Fed
eral troops were called out at the in:
stance OF Warmoth and remained
within a short distance Of the State
House till the adjournment Of the
Warmothites. AS now constituted
neither faction has a quorum, but is
legislating Notwithstanding. Every
thing is quiet tonight; new develope-
ments are probable for tomorrow.
