plated arrest OF Kellogg and otner leaders created
the most intense excitement in the city, and the
newsboys Wed with each other in reaching the
state House, the Custom House and other centres
OF political Information, where there was certain
market for their papers. The cries OF "Kellogg to
be arrested ior murderw that were echoed and re-
echoed along the streets enabled the little busy
bees OF the cutters to sell larger number than at
any time since the late revolution. Some doubted
the correctness OF the despatch, because not
hint OF It had appeared in the local papers; but
when prominent conservatives, including Cover.
nor McEnery, assured some OF their interrogators
that the HERALD's despatch was true all doubts as
to Its correctness vanished. Kellogg was the last
to credit It, and on hearing OF this nanK
movement placed himself on record thus
"Pshaw" The other republican Headers showed
more concern, and Attorney General Field ex-
pressed the belief that when the afidavits are
presented the Commissioner will be compelled to
issue warrants and Marshal Packard and General
Emory must arrest the accused. l may repeat
that evidence, which is deemed suf1cient to con-
vict one radical candidate for Congress Of MURDER

naturalized in the Second Court in another box or
separate divisions" been accepted, the election
would have been declared illegal 1t was to-day

the votes Of each Of the foreign born citizens so
naturalized, which, in the aggregate. number
$780, 1t Is asserted that squads OF United States
troops will be stationed on the day OF the elec

is carried out. Naturalized citizens who are
ignorant OF the real purport OF this move are

ELECTION CHARGEs-LONGSTRRET IN THE TOLLS
The Attorney G-neral has expressed his deter.
mination to present to the Grand Jury for indict-
mcnt, on the charge OF embezzement, the names
OF General James Longstreet ana II. G. Dibble. The
last General Appropriation bill included 900 Tor
the payment Of the State militia, their arms and
was enjoined by the Superior Court on motion OF
the Attorney General During Fields absence
from the state, and two weeks prior to the late
outbreak Dibble, who is Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral and authorized to represent the State in the
absence OF his superior, made o motion In the
superior Couft asking that the appropriation Tor
the militia be relieved from the Injunction. The
money, In greenbacKs and State warrants, was
paid to General L0ngstreet and has not since been
accounted for. A New York clothler who fur
nished the uniforms, has been waiting here
several days for his money and can obtain no
satisfaction.

THE MILITARY SITUATION
in q nutshell, is this. On receiving Major Mer.
rills report OF the arrests made on his aldavit ar
Shreveport, General Emory disowned his action
and instructed Merrill to cease all arrests, except
such as ordered on processes or the United States
Courts. General Emory has forwarded all the
correspondence to Washington. Up to this mo-
ment 1t Is not known whether the President Will
sustain the orders OF the general commanding or
pass Merrllls peccadiloes. 1t is given out by
democratic soldiers that they look to General
Sherman to check the Washington influence in ia

believed Merrill was acting under direct orders
from Washington, Independent OF General Emory.
