LOUIS SIANA.
Action Of the Returning Board To Be
Sustained by the President.
REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS ASSURED.
Somebody To Be Hurt in Case of
Another Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Dec III, 1874.
A large delegation OF Louisianians, headed BY
Congressman Sheldon, visited the President to
day to lay before him the present condition OF the
State. The result OF the recent election will be
promulgated next sunday and 1t Is believed here
that the Board will declare the republicans sue
cessful, which would give them majority IN the
lower house and the State Treasurer. IL was as
serted again that the White Leaguers would at
tempt to intimidate the Returning Board. The
President replied that he could not order troops
in anticipation Of trouble; but orders would be
sent to the commandant at New Orleans to hold
his troops In readiness The President said he
had already telegraphed to Governor Kellogg that
II there was renewal Of violence 1t would be put
down with strong hand, that he might telegraph
again. and, in that case, he would authorize Cover
nor Kellogg to make his despatch public. He would
carry out, IN Of further troubles, the policy
laid down in his Message. He would
NOT TOLERATE REBELLION,
and at another attempt there would be somebody
hurt. He would not suffer defiance OF the laws.
On Monday the Speaker will appoint q
special committee OF seven members to
proceed 10 New Orleans to investigate
the condition Of affairs there. This Is in
accordance with resolution adopted last
Wednesday. Legislation is to be based on the re-
port OF tins committee. 1t is said the Speaker
Will BcleCL tHe committee ITOW meuDerS re-
elected, and who, therefore. will serve In the next
Congress. 1t is understood here that in case Of
further troubles In Louisiana either General
Sheridan or General Terry will be sent down to
take command. Both are men or decided charac-
ter, and the appoin tment OF either would do
much to discourage the White Leaguers. The
Lousianians here are rejoicing tonight over the
aspect OF affairs.

the Decision or the People Is To Be
Thwarted.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. IL, 1874.
The course Of the Board to-day in throwing out
the parishes where democrats are elected and
leaving the canvass to the Legislature develops the
policy OF the radical party and aggravates the
people more than ever. Great uneasiness is also
caused by application for garrlsoning the State
House, as that will most efrectuaily defeat the
peoples legally elected Legislature meeting In 1t
In January. The policy OF the conservatives IS to
organize their Legislature and recognize McEnery.

force to defeat It; but II this can only be accom-
plished by collision with the federal troops they
declare they Will yield an
UNWILLING SUBMISSION TO BAYONETs.
There are threats made by the radicals that II
the Board gives the democrats majority In the
Legislature warrants will be prepared under the
Enforcement act against enough to leave the
democrats IN the minority. They will be arrested
on the Atm OF January and held IN confinement
