IL was resolved that delegation OF representative

to-day Issued writ of cesororti in the cases OF the
tnjunctions granted yesterday by the Eighth Dis
trict Court against the Custom House Returning
Board.
!. The day has been a remarkably quiet one,
with but few people OIL the streets. The War
moth legislative representatives met in caucus
this morning. All parties are very retlcent
with regard to future Intentions. The radical
leaders affect to be In fear OF personal violence
put, 80 far your reporter can judge without the
slightest cause. Judge Dures house was guarded
last night by posse Of marshals Secretary OF
State Bovee was
ESCORTED HOME BY A SQUAD OF SOLDIERS.
Packards house was also reported garrisoned and
Kellogg entrenched at the St. Louis Hotel. None
guard Of marshals, and the most sensational
stories Of conjured-up are constantly clrcu-
)ating among them. The opinions Of the papers,
es expressed this morning, vary with their dis
tinctive political compilations. The two repub
lcans are not only jubilant but indulge In much
rtdiouie at the expense Of the people, evidently

The PtcaW4ne handles the affair with velvet
gloves, but condemns Durell's action. The Bee

Durel and the radicals. 1t calls him '.the plant
tool and instrument Of the corrupt and unprinci-
pied ring OF partisan tricksters" and says 1--WE

as the object OF their eternal scorn and detestaton
No man so recreant to his true duty as Judge and

the respect and confidence OF liberty loving peo
ple" The same paper also contains o dignifed yet
pointed letter from De Ponte, one OF the enjoned
Returning Board, addressed to Senator Kellogg,
whom he openly charges with being wilfully guilty
OF falsehood and perjury. AS might be expected,
these press utterances have not tended to alay the
constantly increasing excitement, which seethes
like volcanic nres.
Tho Issue To BE Precipit tod To-Day
Intense Anxiety in the City.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 8, 1872.
The committee OF the fusion Legislature is yet
I'm session. and expect to remain so far into the
night. They have not determined precisely upon
what course to be pursued tomorrow. The policy
OF warmoth in revokng his call tor assembling the
Legislature Is now under discussion. II this Is not
done the Legislature win probably convene at

Federal Court In every demand.
THE TWO LEGISLATURES

ment OF Governor warmoth BY the Custom House
