Louisiana Afairs-General Uneasiness.
New YORK, Dec. IA New Orleans spec
ial to the Herald says that although prepara-
tions were made to attack the State House,
none was made, but the scare is not over. The
White Leagues, however, ridicule the idea of
attacking the State House at present.
The streets of New Orleans yesterday (Sun-.
day. were almost deserted instead of being
crowded as usual.
Last night two companies of White Leaguers
went to the Jackson Railroad depot and scru-
tinized all passengers and baggage to see that
the members of the returning board should not
escape with the returns. All the steamers were
also searched and all the roads and ferries
leading cut of the city were patrolled last
night The troops were kept in their quarters
in anticipation of trouble. McEnery de-
clares that if there is any 1ynching within
day or two it certainly will not be done by the
White Leaguers.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-An afternoon paper has a
New Orleans special despatch signed by Gov.
Kellogg and dated at noon, in which he says
the members of the returning board are in
session at the State House making final COM
piliaton. On the streets there is much subdued
excitement.
The Picayune this morning says: "Gov KEEL
logg has instructed Capt Lawler, the officer in
charge of the defence of the State House, that
if he can hold out against an attack for twenty
minutes, the streets will run with blood:
Gov. Kellogg authorizes the statement that ne
has never made any such assertion to capt
Lawler or any one else.
The grand conclave of the White League is
convened for to morrow night. 1t is not proba-
BILE that any movement Will be made until after
that meeting.
viclksburg People Apprehensive.
A Vicksburg special to the Times. dated last
night, says:
'Late this evening number of gentlemen
living on plantation in the neighborhood,
rode into vcksburg and informed the Mayor
that the negroes in the country were under
arms and in squads of 20 and 80 were marching
to the city. The Mayor Immediately called out
two companies of special police and they as
sembled at the court house. The citizens are
generally alarmed and some fear that the town
will be attacked tonight. A majority. how.
ever, have no fear of the town, but think it
probable that the negroes may commit depre-
datons upon unprotected white families in
country districts. Two companies well armed,
of white men, have gone to the outskirts of the
city. They will guard the two principal ap-
proaches during the night"
A correspondent of the Times, who has
reached Vicksburg, says that business has been
resumed, but the citizens are watehful. Actual
violence is expected when the Legislature as

Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court to-day decided that the
city of New Orleans has no right under the fed
eral constitution to impose levee dues on YES
sells which stop at the wbarves or moor in the
Mississippi river within the city limits without
the consent of Congress 1t is conceded that a
municipality building wharves and piers for
the use of commerce may probably require some
compensation from vessels using them, but in
so doing, care should be taken not to 60 bey-
ond the sphere of the city authority as limited
by the federal convention.
The court also decided that factor who re-
ceived cotton and made advances upon it, was
not thereby constituted owner of the property

proceeds out of the treasury under the captured
and abandoned property act, for if were so re-
garied through him as their agent, disloyal

Dominion Notes.

The Bishop of st. John has written letter
setting forth the reasons for permitting the
eizure of his property for the non payment OF
school taxes.
The school question is an important element
of the Nova Scotia election which takes place
next Thursday. The committees of the Synod
of the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Colo
mics, the Halifax School Association, and the
Wesleyan Ministers, resident In Halifax, have
all issued addresses to the electors, calling upon
the electors to resist any proposed alteration OF
the school law in sectarian interests and to in.
sist upon faithful and impartial administra-
ion of the law.
A supplementary report on Inter-Coloniai
railway management by Mr.. c. X. Bridges
discloses the fact that the most exorbltant
prices have been charged by Messrs. Fraser,
Reynolds & Co., who have furnished the road
supplies. The road appears to have been sys-
tematically swindled.
The st. John Telegraph, discussing the
question of winter seaport for the Canadas,
says:
To our thinking, no foreign city should be
permitted to be the winter port OF western
Canada, and we believe no other Canadian city
is fitted to be that except St. John. When the
Lake Megantic Railway is completed, which
will bring us within sixteen hours of Montreal,
we will have All opportunity of testing the
question whether either Boston or Portland can
permanently retain the positions they now
hold as winter ports of shipment for Canadian
goods. In view of this, we should never lose
sight of the fact that the present trade OF ST.
John, great though it be. is very far from be-
ing moiety of what it will become In the
future. We should now be devising a compre-
heusiye scheme for harbor improvement, 1or
increased wharfage accommodation, and we
should not lose sight of the fact that before
long we may need grain elevators and DOCKS,
both wet and dry, at this port All this should
make us watchful of our opportunities, so that
when the chance of increased trade comes we
may not be unprepared to accommodate it.
From the town of Corinna, $4,000 bushels OF
