SPecuIatfOns ON the Condition of Affairs
in Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, December s.-The
city is comparatively quiet. The re-
straining order granted yesterday
by Judge Durell, placing the whole
matter Of organizing the Degisla-
ture in the hands OF the Custom
house party is a gig ntic fraud, and
is the general topic of conversation,
and even Representatives express aston
ishment at its sweeping character. As
matters now stand the Customhouse
party have won the fight. They have
thus far been supported by the Federal
Court in every demand. Two Iegisla-
tures are expected to meet Tomorrow.
The Impeachment Of Governor War
moth BY the CustOmhouse Legislature,
and the dispersion of the Governors s
Legislature Jy United States troops
seems TO be tie programme. WarmOth's
contempt case comes up in the Federal
Court tomorrow. 1t Is believed that
the Governor viii be decided guilty, and
punished by imprisonment.

tne purp1se Of preventing the cOnvoca-
uon OF the Legislature tomorrow. The

tisan Of KellOggs, and the object is to
afford time for the Kellogg Returning
Board to re-elect him to the Senate. The
AttOrney-Genersl laid the kilograms be-
FIRE Grant. The President expressed
his great disgust at the whole quarrel
between WaImOth and Kellogg, and
thinks il disgraceful that two men, for
the sake Of getting to the United States
Senate, viii run the risk of drenchine
great city in blood. He seemed 10 be
firm in the determination TO permit ma
Federal interference, unless necessary n
preventa revolution. It is now
that the electoral vote Of Louisiana cans
not be cast. There was no at
tempt at a meeting Of the

gust, aud say If this state of affairs con
tinues much longer, Congress must in
terfere with some legislation which may
