luminous dispatches concerning the Louisiana
legislative troubles. The President, 10 con-

troops while their presence aided the factions.
United States troops we're stationed il New Or

countenancng the quarrel, and that was what
he desired to avoid. Senator West represents
the Yarmouth side, and Senator Kellogg sides
with the people. Tonight he received the iol-
lowing despatch, through Dir e. j. Phelps,
showing the condition of affairs in New Orleans
up to the latest moment -

indignant and asking that the House and Senate
be allowed to take their seats without bayonets
and armed interference and repeal those infa-
nous laws which both parties now profess to
be anxious to do.
This despatch came from the Citizens AS
ISOLATION, and embodied substantially all that
had been sent to Senator Kellogg during the
evening. The despatch to President Grant
from Collector Casey was as follows =.
