Great Apprehensions and Serious
Alarm.

Alarm.
NEW ORLEANS, October 20.-Great
apprehensions and serious alarm were
terms used by the Conservative politicians
here yesterday as indicating the present
condition of the people of the entire
State. From Shreveport came another
batch of grave apprehensions, serious
alarm for the safety Of the women and
children, negro terror, etc, and Bayou
Sara and st. Martinville rendered public
assistance. With the view of gathering
information on the subject OF
wholesale arrests, which il was charged
the federal officers were about making,
and which had produced the effect stated
above on the opposing public mind, an
agent of the Associated Press called on
Governor Kellogg and Marshal Packard
to-day, and telegraphed elsewhere, with
the results given below. Governor ksl-
logg stated that he had heard but little
of these matters and could give no infor-
nation on the subject of the arrests, but
thought they had been greatly eIagger-
ated. The Governor expressed his desire
for q peaceful and fair election, and is
exerting himself to that end.
Regarding the Wholesale arrests, Mar
shal Packard stated that atiidavits had
been made out against some
thirty persons charged with parti-
cipstion in the Conshatta outrage,
but he has not heard that any arrests
have been made. These parties will be
taken before the United States Commits
sioner for preliminary examination and
cannot he removed from the parish un-
less sent before the United States Court.
There are indictments against IS or 100
persons in Grant Parish on account Of
participation in the ColfaI massacre, but
the Deputy Msrshals ,are instructed not
TO take any one out of parishes until after
the election. The Marshal thinks it
probable that few rascals may be
frightened away, but no honest citizens
will be molestcd nor have anything to
fear.
The following response has been re-
ceived from Shreveport: No arrests
have been made rs yet and reports con-
flict as to whether or not warrants
have been issued. Several gentlemen
said to have had interviews with the
United States Commissioner yesterday,
and that they were given 10 understand
that afiidavits had been made against
seventy citizens Of this place, charging
them with violation of the Congressional
acts. This the Commissioner now denies.
Citizens Meeting ut shreveport.
A meeting was held by the citizens of
Shreveport, and resolution adopted not
to employ Republicans, nor advance
supplies to those who did. Signing this
resolution was the oiense they COM
mitted.
The following was received to-day:
BAYOU SARA. October 20
The statements concerning the Jack
son affair published in Yesterdays papcrs
are incorrect. Judge Kilbourne, Sen
ator Weber, Breaux Law and others
were peaccsbly conversing in Laws
Office, when the house they
were in was fired into by
= G. Butler, n friend Of 9air
who also shot at a peaceable asscmblage
Of whites and blacks, and compelled the
band in attendance to dispcrse.

Outrage Reports Greatly Exaggcr-
Rted.
The outrage reports from either side
seem TO be greatly exaggerated.
The Conference Committee met this
evening and adjourned finally without
accomplishing anything. The Republi-
cans have submitted the following:
