NEW ORLEANS, January 4.-The ex
element in political circles continues
After the House adjourned yesterday, Mr.

was surrounded by an armed mob.
About fifteen men, who suddenly ap
peared yesterday on the platform in til,

morning, and detachment Of the city
guards and military are said 10 be station
ed in supporting distance.

called upon Gen. Emery for troops, to ll
used il m emergency required it. AT 81,
O'clock this morning, about two hundred
colored troops,with Calling guns, marched

busy, even on the streets, and much dis
cussion arose over the proposed contest
Many stated openly that many new mem
bers had been bought Tor the Warmoutl

dollars; but not being cognizant Of thC

The Speaker Of the House spent most o
the morning in the Custom House, and q
about halr.past II o'clock reached tht
State House. Gov. Yarmouth was al
ready there, but they did not meet. A

them colored, quickly followed, and will
great difficulty forced their way through
the ovcrcrowded lobby into the hall o
the House Of Representatives. The gossip
still continued, when, at about o quarter
to 10 o'clock, general attention was at
