Prolonged cheering followed the read.
ing Of the above.
A resolution was adopted appointing a
committee TO investigate the conduct OF
the U. s. Marshal and his deputies in
Prresting the Governor and representa-
tiVes Of the sovereign people ofgLouisiana,
pronouncing such action an outrage, and
about half past eleven the extra session of
the house adjourned sine die. The mem.
bers did not seem disposed TO quit their
seats, as the regular session would com.
mence at 10 o'clock. The Speaker re-
tanned his chair. The Carterites were ex.
pected to appear before the hour appoint.
ed for reassembling, but they remained
away. Carter having been expelled from
the House during the extra session, and
his seat as q member declared vacant, he
could not have obtained access. 10 the
Capitol, instructions having been given to
the Sergeantat-Arms to admit none but
members, and special instructions 1t is
understood were given not to admit Car
ter. AT 19 o'clock, Speaker Brewster
called the House to order, there was some
delay, but quorum was finally obtained.
Gov. Warmoth came in few minutes
earlier, had taken a seat, and was con.
versing with one Of the members, when a
perceptible stir was created in the lobby.
All eyes were turned IN that direction,
many looking as though they expected
the Ku.Klux to appear; but their fears
were soon relieved. The visitor was a
staff officer from General Emory, in full
uniform, with message to the Governor,
stating that the United States troops
would cooperate with the State troops
and the Metropolitans in preserving or.
der Ialfan hour later General Sully aud
staff called on the Governor, the General
stating that he had been sent by General
Emory TO cooperate with the troops
under his command in preserving the
peace, and informing the Governor tiat
his men were under arms on Rampant
street, and ready for any emergency. The
Governor thanked the General, stating
that he hoped to be able in n few hours Ia
notify him that his troops would not be
required, as he had just received com,
munication from Mr.. Carter, which clearly
indicated that there wonld be no further
disturbance. The following is the docu
ment:
