mothites had SO members present. The
first bill during the session was called up
to- day, authorizing Red River Parish to
issue SEQ, 900 in bonds for D jailandcourt
house, which was introduced by Mr..
Devices, OF Desota.
Mr.. Stanton, Of Passer, said the bill
was fraud ; that he was able TO prove II;
and charged also that $4,000 had alrea.
dy been collected, but appropriated to
other purposes than for the erection of q
Jail and court house IN the Parish Of Red
River. .-..-
Mr.. Devices said that Mr.. Stanton lied !;
that Stanton knew he lied, "a r.
Mr.. Brown said Mr.. Stanton was iusti-
fed In making the charges. There was
reason, therefore, when the discussion
above commenced -E N -
Mr.. Warrall raised a point of order,

After the House had voted recess, the
Speaker advised the members not to 20

geants-at-arnls from Speaker Carter's
House was on the lookout 1tor members.
The seventeen Senators VIII prevent a
quorum are still at Bay St. Louis, Missis-
sippi. 1t is asserted that they will
not return until the difficulties are set
tied. In the Carter House, forty.three
members present, the Speaker announced
that the Eighth District Court iniunc-
tons would be answered by General
Emory, who has ordered a regiment Of
troops from Louisville to New Orleans.
The Times says the great outpouring of
tue people into Lafayette square Monday
night, proved the deep seated dissatislac.
tion which exists against that fraudulent
legislation by which the men who have q
material and permanent interest in the
State, have been for the time being plum.
dered and deprived Of the power OF re.
sistance, and that thereafter the two
races will unite for mutual protection
against the vampire assaults of 1nerciless'

The Bee says: "The contest now in pro.
grcss between Gov Warmoth and his op.
ponents in the Legislature has nothing of
a party character. 1t is not a contest be-
tween Republicans and Democrats, nor
las race, color or previous condition any
thing TO do with II. 1t is q contest lie.
tween the RetormeTs Of the General As.
sembly and those who are opposed
thereto. The combination has been form.
ed for the single purpose Of overthrowing
Warmoth's administration because the
white wields the exclusive power Of the
State. Reform Is regarded as impracti-
cable.
The Picdyune, heretofore regarded fa-
vorable to the Warmothites, says: "Gov.
Warmoth is personally unknown to lis.
He does not find an apologist in the
Eicdyune for his errors, Our journal has
not trusted in his promise any more than
it could trust in those politicians whom
he leads" .,.r.r.st ......
About 5 O'clock this evening, while Isa-
dore Mccormick and W. W. McCulloch,
assistant sergeants alarms for the Carter
House Of Representatives, were attempt
ing TO arrest Matthews, member, a
scutile ensued, in which Walter R. Whey
land was shot. BE died an hour later in
the Governors parlor at the State House.
Wheyland claims to represent the parish
OF Sabine, but had been expelled by the
Garter faction. The supposi6on is that he
was endeavoEing to prevent the arrest of
Matthews. CMT. D. Scott, a citizen who
witnessed the shooting, says when the
scutlle commed between McCulloch and
iWheyland body of policemen were
across from Dryade street. Wheyland
simultaneously drew a pistol, when one of
the policemen, not knowing Wheyland
and doubtless thinking he was going to
shoot, fired upon him. This is the first
blood shed since the troubles commenced.
