The Warmoth and Bycrly Affair.
New York, December 2S


\ New Orleans special to the Herald dated 9th,
says the political excitement still continues. 1t is
evident that the people determined to seat their
representatives, January 4h, regardless of the Re-
turning Board. Their leaders assert that the dem
ons'raion will be PEACEFUL yet great apprehension
is felt on both sides. 1t is known here that the
people of Cadd, Rapids, Natchitoches and De Soto
parishes intend sending down representatives ac-
companied by strong escorts. Other parishes will
probably initiate the example. The news of Gen.
Sheridan having been appointed to the command
is regarded as an additional administration menace,
and is commented on accordingly.
The funeral of Mr.. Byerly was largely attended.
Over so carriages were in line; and hundreds of
persons followed on foot. Public sentiment in
clncs to regard the homicide as justifable on the
ground OF sclf-defence
Gov. Yarmouth is much depressed in spirits.
He expresses pain and regret at the unfortunate
occurrence. During the day he has been called
Penn and other prominent persons.
n further steps have been taken in regard to
the projected duel. Upon Warmoth's liberation
from prison, tomorrow, the whole affair will prob
ably be referred to court of honor Byerly's
death precludng any further proceedings of a
a hostile nature.
New Orleans, December %. The inquest into
the cause of the death of Byerlv, will be held to-
morrow. Drs. Schumacher and Stone have made a
post mortem eNami nation of the body. There
were found six wounds, only one of which was
superficial, being slight flesh wound over the
abdomen. ANY one of the ether five wounds might
have caused death.
