part of his dispatches Saturday night:
New ORLEANS, February 28.-Therc is a
! good deal OF excitement to-day on account
| Of the action Of the United States Senate on
| the Louisiana question. The disapp0int-
ment among the citizens was general. Hun
! cry and expect&Dt seekers of places were
| violent in Genunciation. but the better class
! gave expression only to gloomy foreb0d-
| iGgs of the future, indicating the further
| decentralization OF society. and serious in
| jury to commercial interests.
The meeting advertised to be held in sup
| port OF Governor McEnery tonight in La
| 1ayette square was d success. About 5000
! persons assembled, and, though very de-
monstrative. unanimously approved OF the
| sentiments OF the meeting, ana COndennIng
| the Kellogg government aud the national
| government. The speakers said the inten-
! ton was to force ii decision, and if the ma
| tional government aided the Kellogg add
| HinistratiOn the people OF Louisiana would
! NOT resist with arms, but submit ilke-men
| bound hand and foot. The Inost intem?er-
! ate speech Of the evening was made by
| General George Sheridan. well known in
| the North Il Repub lean stump speaker,
and in Louisiana as The carpet Dagger who
made q fortune in the Office Of tax collector,
to which Office he was appointed by War
moth. being then ont of office by fortunes

people Of The State. whose uEhappy COR IL
ton he deplUres.
Now our impression. derived from q
very extensive acquaintance with tho rco-
pie in every ward Of the city, is that SO
far from there being any general disap-
pointment among the ''cit!Zens.' there
was decided tendency to rejoice at the
very proper action Of the Senate upon Car
penters bill. Perhaps we are not SO for
tunate, or otherwise. as the case may be,
as to encounter the small ring Of bilious.

porter derived his impressions.
The gloomy forebodings Of the future
assumed the shape Of g jump up in State
warrants about five points within an hour
after the news had been given to the pub

few brokers who lately telegraphed that
new State warrants could not be sold TOR
five cents on the dollar, may have felt
little blue because they had not secured all
they could on Friday, before some of lou,

but impotently complains. had come for

Their gloomy feeling. however. is sxcusa-
bic. because j: proceeds from sufficient
reasons. The true condition of the pub
lie mind could be stated thus: Hungry
and expectant Office seekers We're generally
disappointed. while the better classes re-
joiced at the improved prospects for tram
quillity. because the Senate refused to 60

for the public feeling.
As for the meeting. no: more shan eight
hundred put in an Appearance at any one
time during the evening. More than one
half Of those were spectators. who came
to hear and see, but not TO sympathize.
With the exception o: the very few lead

form. there was absolutely nohody Of note
