fearing that the train would be interfered with on
the Jackson road if it were known he was aboard
Still another report went so far as to say that the
President had written a special message which ne
would send to Congress on tho first day oil the re-
assembling urging, in view of tho unsafe condition
of affairs in the South. that the army be in
creased TO $4,000 men. The only founda-
ton for these stories 80 far as can
he ascertained. is as follows: Inc
President Is constantly in receipt of intelligence OF
very threatening character from New-OrIeans'
and he regards the situation OF affairs with grcat
apprehension and anxiety; and. no doubt, snouiu
any trouble or conflict arise, he would take very
conspicuous part. That there will be change OF
military commanders there is no doubt. Oen
Emory. while not distrusted by the PRESIDENT ID
nevertheless regarded not wholly IN sympathy
with the Administration. and therefore ne canho1
be expected to enter into very hearty cooperation
in merely partisan transactions. 1t is true that
efforts have been made by Senator West and others
to have Sheridan ordered to New-Orleans and some
very high officers of the party in the interest OF
Kellogg have given their opinion to the President
that such course would do more to restore peace
than anything else, the motive being to threaten
Kclogg's opponents with the presence OF the
Lieutenant-Gencral of the army and largely aug
mcnted force
A prominent Republican Senator, as near the
President any other said tonight that he thOught
Sheridan would he sent to the command. According
to Cabinet officer, Sheridan's name in connection
with Ncw-Orleans has not been mentioned in the
CIbinct, but that Gen. Terry had been spoken
of, and would probably receive his ORDERS
if he had not already received them, to holu
himself in readiness. The Presidents Cabinet,
even, though manifcsting unusual feeling on what
o,ttr Cti lnt fD
wise anything of peremptory character while the
public peace is not violated Most Of them are said
to be in favor of tdirg the matter easily as
possible until Congress reassembles, and oppO any
violent action, AZ least until the subcommittee
of the House, now on their way to New-Orleans can
examine into affairs and make their report. In the
minds of the more coo-headed there is no cause for
alarm on the part of the Administration, and the
opinion is expressed that the Committee will find
matters bearing more peaceful aspect than the ro
ports here would suggest.

GENERAL PRESS DIsPArcHl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The killing of Byer-
ly by ex-Gov Warmoth occasions much comment here
today among all classes and fears expressed that
may lead to general disturbance; but gentlemen from
Sew-Orcan, do not apprehcnd such result. While
they admit that the quarrel between these persons IN
creases the prevalent uneasincs there are no luuca
cations Of contemplated organized resistance 10 tne
decisions OF the Returning Board in fact, tho more
prominent Democrats In NeTOrleans have coInseled
the contrary There fear however that rash conduct
on the part of few might prccptate collision or
arms among the many and thus lead to active Federal
interference. 1t s known that the Executive Depart
mrnt Is closely watching the OF events in L0uis
ana and has recently received much private Information
on the subject and further that the President has ear
Dcsy to preserve the peace
The Legislature meets the 4th Of January when 1t is
expected stern opposition will be made in the House OF
Representatives the rulings OF the Returning Board
and to this time prominent persons here are looking
with much solicitude. Tucre determination as yet
as TO tho superseding OF Gen. Emory. To recall him
now and send another to take his place would. II Is
saii appear II the Executive were preparing Tor
coutct which may not take place. and also increase the
present excitement But there is color 10 the re-
Dor, thai. should 1t become necessary, Lieut.. Gen.
