The Military Forces.


The military authorities have a large
force scattered over the city, and a heavy
reserve at the barracks. The Twenty-sec-
ond infantry is due here tonight, and ad-
vices have been received of other re-en-
forcementS en- route to New Orleans.
Feeling Very Uneasy.
Public sentiment is generally favorable
to acquiesce until the conclusion of the
conference. The White Leaguers' num-
bers are greatly exaggerated. At the ut
most there are not five thousand in the CITY.
The feeling in the city is uneasy, and pri-

bad condition of affairs. Many colored
Republicans favor the immediate relin-
quishment of Pinchback's Senatorial claims,
and the election of Gov. Penn to the Fed

command of the Federal troops in this
city, relieving Gen. Brooke, who assumes
command Of his regiment, the Third In

The Country Reported Quiet.
kellogg assured your correspondent this
morning that no trouble was reported in
the country parishes; but 1t is impossible
to predict the result in those parishes where
Federal interference in his behalf is un-
known. Reports at the State-house from
Tangipahoa parish represent that there is
an organiZatioITfor the overthrow of the
kellogg local officials, which has probably
been effected before this.
To the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The following
telegram has been received at the War De
partment from Gen. Emory:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE
GULF, New Orleans Sept. 20.-To Adju-
tant General of the United States Army,
Washington, ID. e.: eSterday the State
authorities replaced the temporary police
force by the regular police force of the city.
1t was feared that this change might cause
some disturbance and troops were posted at
various points in the city, but the night
passed quietly. | think this may be taken
rs evidence that the surrender was COM
plete and in good faith, for by popularity
of the law of Louisiana the police force of
this city is organized under State law and
under the direct control OF the Governor.
