NEw ORLEANS, Jan. 4.-Thers is great
excitement in political and official circles
here, over the conflict between the advo-
Gates Of Gov. Wsrmoush in the Legislature,
and the opposition, or custom house party
Yesterday, in the House, the Warmouthites
made q movement 10 forcibly eject the
Speaker from the chair, but were pre-
vented by the reserve force which the
Speaker had in his private office. To-day
the armouthites had two hundred po-
licemen and detached militia stationed at
the Hall, while the Speaker secured from
Gen. Emery 100 colored troops, with the
GAting guns, who are stationed at the
custom house.
About liz this morning the Speaker
went TO the State House, where Governor
Yarmouth had already arrived Shortly
after United States Marshal Campbell Ap-
pesred with wSrraUts for the arrest Of
Governor WArmouIh, Governor Hinohbeek,
four Senators aud fourteen members Of
the House, on Afidsvi,s made before Unite d
States Commissioner Woolfry, charging
them with conspiracy, bribery and obstruct.
ing the laws with bribing and corrupting
the Legislature elect. The charges being
made under the Ku-Klux bill all those upon
whom the arrests were served went to the
commissioners Office, where the affidavits
in the case were read to them, and bail &C
oepted BY the district attorney in all cases.
Similar warrants we're also served upon
the superintendent of police, two captains
of police and the sheriff After the arrest
Of the Governor, the House was called to
order by Mr.. Carter, and quorum found
present
New YoRK, Jan. A special to the
Times from Washington says that the gov
ernmen, accepts the change of ministry at
Madrid a. hostile to the conciiistory policy
heretofore pursued regarding affairs in Cuba
and the outrsges growing tberefrom. 1t al
so accepts the reported recall of Senior Rob
erts rs further proof of unfrieDdly feel
ing, but there is yet no positive information
as to the course Of the Spanish government.
The recent overhauling of the Florida will
require reparAtion. In the meantime the
Navy Department is preparing, and any or
ders which may be given are to be inter-
preted as measures of preparation on the
part Of our government.
In AocordSn with this policy our govern
ment has protested against the act Of the
Spanish naval officer in boarding and
searching The Florida on the high seas, and
has required the Spanish governm first,
to apologize; second, to dissvow the act OF
the officer, third, TO punish him; fourth to
pay damages. That the Spanish govern
ment will meet the requirements is no,
doubted. With regard to the Hornet there
will be difficulty, as the Congress has been
dispatched to Port au Prince to convoy her
to an American port. If, as the Spanish
minister alleges, she has committed q
breach Of our neutrality, she will be amen
able to our laws and not TO those Of Spain
While it is true that Sogosts, who Is at the
head of the Spanish ministry, is hostile tc
the United States, it is also known that he
has no power to do harm, ss his party in the
Oortes is in the minority, and would there
fore out vote him on any policy unfriendly
to this country.

ceived information that the Grand Duke
