Trouble Sill Rrn,yinu.

New York, December II. A New Orleans
special to the Herald says that although prepare
tons were made to attack the State House, no AS
sauit was made, but the scare is not over. The
White Leaguers, however, ridicule the idea of at
lacking the State House at present.
The streets of New Orleans, Sunday were al
most deserted instead of being crowded rs usual.
Last night two companies of White Leaguers
went to the jackson Railroad depot and scrutiniz-
ed all passengers and baggage to see that the
members of the returning board should not es-
cape with the returns. All the steamers were also
searched, and all the roads and ferries leading out
of the city were patrolled last night. There were
but lew people on the streets, aud the troops
kept in their quarters in anticipation of trouble.
McEnely declares that if there is any lynching
within day or two, it certainly will not be done
by the White Leaguers.

More Violence Expected.
Bodies of Negroes Under Arms.

New York, December IA. 4 correspondent of
the Times who has reached Vcksburg. says that
business has been resumed but the citizens are
watchful. Actual violence is expected when the
Legislature assemblies, as that body will probably
amend the city charter that vacancies can be
hlled by subernatorial appointment. There will
be hot debate also the proposition for an
appropriation for regiment of cavalry for service
IN Warren county or elsewhere in the state.
a NlcksburS special to the Times, dsted last
night says:
Late Inns evening number OF gentlemen living
on plantation in the neighborhood rode into
Nicksburg and informed the mayor that the ne
groes IN the county were under and, in squads
of twenty and thirty are marching towards the
city.
The mayer Immediately called out two compa-
MES OF special police and they assembled at the
court house. The citizens generally alarmed
and some fear that the town will be attacked to-
night. A majority however, have no fears for the
town, but think it prob shat the negroes may
commit some depredatons upon unprotected white
families in the country districts. Two companies
Of well armed white men have gone to the out
skirts Oh the city. They will guard the two prin-
elpal approaches during the night
1t is understood that Crosby will not be allowed
to resume the office OF sheriff. and there is nc
doubt that it was by his orders that the negroes
marched on the city. He is in Jail al his own re-
