THE LOUISIANA TROUBLE.
opinion Of Ex-Lieutenant Govern
or Pinchbcek'

NEW YORK, May 10.-Ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Pinchbeck of Louisiana, here en- route TO
Europe, said in an interview last evening that
the contest in Louisiana is a mere struggle 1or
place and power. 1t is the outs against tine ms,
and many of the people refrain from commit
ting themselves to either the Kellogg OF Nc NJ
Emery government. When he left on the oOth
of April the opposition to the Kellogg govern
ment was formidable, and he thinks CIVIL war
impending. He added that the responsibility
rests in Washington as well as Louisiana.
A correspondent telegraphs from st. Martins
vile that in an interview with him yesterday,
Col. Badger, commanding the Metropoiilans;
said he was in no need of reinforcements, anu
there was no enemy in front OF him, Wnlle ne
did not know of Col. De Blanc's whereabouts.
mart of his command had gone towards Yer
miflionyile, part toward Breauxbridge and
a third part towards Butte a la Rose on the
pleased to meet DeBlanc socially, and his ar
rest would be n dsagreeable duty.
Dechamps, the mayor of Martinsville, had
been arrested by civil process on the charge
of treason, and he (Badgerl had nothing to do
with it: Deohamps is still confined to the
examination to-day. He (Badger) had rejected
and should continue to reject all propositions
to arm the negroes for his assistance.
The Affair Virtually Over.
NEW IBERIA, May 1O-Fifty Metropolitan
cavalry, under Cooney arrived here last night
and left this morning for St. Martinsv1lle. Ihey
report having had no difficulty on the way, and
that the man who reported sklrmish sixteen
miles above Brushear was deSerter. TWO
hundred U S. troops arrived here to-day and
proceeded to st. Marainsville by the steamer
Liberia. Gen. Badger has scouts through the
country trying to ascertain the whereabouts OF
Col. De Blanc, whose movements so far are gn-
known. 1t is reported here this morning that
reinforcements were coming to Col DE Blanc
from st. Landry. Col. De Blanc has evidently
intended from the first to maintain resistance
to Kelloggs government and did not desire the
splitting of blood. The whole affair is virtually
over, with the exception of what action may
be taken by the U. S. troops and marshals.
Probable End of the Trouble.
NEW ORLEANS May 10.-The latest adtices
from the insurrectionary districts are that 200
United States troops arrived at st. Martinsville
and are now in quiet possession OF the place.
De Blancs' forces have disbanded and surren-
dered to the United States authorities, and the
citizens generally are submitting to Gov. KEEL
logg's officials in all the districts which were
the scenes of the recent disturbances. The
prisoner now held before the United States
Marshal will be tried before a commissioner
next week.
In the Grant parish case, the grand jury OF
the United States District Count to-day brought
in large number of indictments against par
ties concerned in recent outrages and they will
probably be brought to trial early in the coming
week. The grand jury of this parish have Or
dered the prosecution eof the rioters who
stole the guns on last Monday.
