AN INTERVIEW WITH THE BRITISH
CONSUL.

Our reporter yesterday had an interview
with A. P. De Fonblanque, Esq, H. NJ. Con.
sui for New Orleans, to see what action Ill
any he had taken in the existing state Of
political matters here.
Mr.. De Fonblanque says that he has sent a
full statement by mail Of the events that
happened at the Sate-House last Monday to
the Bristish Ambassador at Washington, and
also to the Home Government. He thinks
the dispatch sent by Sheridan to Washington,
stating that the people here were in state of
anarchy, to be uncalled for, and stated SO in
his advices
He also stated that reports were communi-
Gated to him to the effect that a meeting of
British subjects would soon be held here to
express their opinion upon the present situa-
ton: When this meeting is to oe held is not
liked definitely, but it will be soon.
The Consul has till now taken no other or
further action in the matter.

York is more largely affected by the shrinkage
of railroad values than any other city in the
country-more, perhaps, than all other cities
put together; for the shares and bonds of the

enormous reduction in personally valuation
in that city, and explains, also, perhaps, the
severe stress of the general depression Of

A DISPATCH TO SENATOR THURMAN,

The following dispatch was yesterday sen
to Senator Thurman, of Ohio, by Mr.. Hutche
son, formerly citizen of that State, and
personal acquaintance and friend of the dis
tinguished Senator:
New ORLEANS, La,, Jan. 6, 1875.
Hon: A. G. Thurman, q. S. Senate, Washington
DC.
As an Ohioan residing in this city for the
past six years., wish to unite my testimony
in this manner with others who contradict
the statements of the extraordinary letter OF
Gen. Sheridan to the Secretary of War in re-
gard to the condition of affairs in this State
Give the people of Louisiana decent and
responsible government and there would
not be found more orderly and quiet COM
munity in the country. As it is without a
government that can command respect or
obedience, the people illustrate in high de-
gree their capacity for self-government pecu-
liar alone to Americans. The disorders re-
suit from the nature of the government, not
from the evil disposition of the people
As a lawyer, familiar with the Constitution
and laws of Louisiana, will say that the pre-
iminary organization of the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday last was regular and
legal, and Mr.. Wilt was lawfully elected
Speaker of the permanent organization.
l have the honor to be, etc.,
Your obedient servant,
r. HUTCHINSON.

We have received pamphlet copies of the
able and vigorous speech OF the Hon. Chas.
E. Furlong, Senator from Warren county, in
the Mississippi Legislature, in which he
places the responsibility for great portion
of the evils that afflict that unfortunate State
where it undoubtedly belongs, upon the
shoulders of Gov. Ames, whose disregard OF
constitutional restrictions he forcibly exposed.
1t may be remembered that in his message
to the Legislature, Ames claimed credit for an
economical administration of the State
finances Senator Furlong contends that the
extravagance and prohigacy of the Democratic
dynasties which fourished in Mississippi be-
fore the war, and which were a reproach
upon the State, were not to be compared with
the waste and outright robbery which exist
under Ames.
Then the taxable wealth of the people
amounted to 81, zoe, 600, 900; now it does not
exceed 100000, 00O Then the ordinary tax
on real estate was about two mills now it is
from thirty to ninety mills on the dollar.
Public printing before the war cost 5000 per
annum now it averages more than 500, 600
Then he expenses of the legislative depart
ment averaged less than $4,000 per anuum
now they amount on an average to $40, 600.

Yesterday about II A. NJ. there were man,
rumors current in the rotunda of the St
Charles Hotel that dispatches had been re
ceived by Gen. Sheridan from Presiden
Grant. In order to learn the truth of thes
reports a representative Of the BULLETIN a
once waited upon the General and inquired
as to their truth.
From his lips we learn that the report.
were founded in truth, and although he re
fuses giving to the public copy of the
Washington dispatch, he intimsted that his
entire course since his arrival in New Orleans
has been sustained by the authorities a,
Washington.
From reliable sources the information was
cleaned that in very short time orders fol
the arrest of the leaders of the Conservative
element in this State will be issued and a
crusade against the people inagurated
Marshal Packard from 11:45 A. M. to 1916
P. NJ. was in close consultation with Gen.
Sheridan. From the stir in army circles it is
evident dispatches of grave importance have
been received here.
Several army officers express the opinion
that we were either on the verge of a revolu-
ton or the deposition of the Republican
leaders. They expressed fears that the people
of Louisiana would by some act bring about
a collision which would be fatal to the posi-
ton now so much in the interest of State
rights
The orders received from Washington are
pregnant with importance on the issues now
dividing the people Of this State. It is evil
dent from what we learn that the next forty
eight hours will bring about great changes
throughout this country.
In this war against Capitalization President
Grant has assumed the whole responsibility
Of Sheridsn's acts, and defes the loud express
sions of public opinions by persisting in the
line of action assumed some time since re-
garding Louisiana affairs.

1t is reported that the demand for an in
demnity in consideration of the massacre at
Santiago. is to be urged upon Spain by the
Administration with more determination, now
that the kingdom has been re.established,
and that the real design is to provoke war,
in order to create an excuse for annexing
Cuba to the United States. It is difficult to
see how such project can succeed, since the
payment of q few thousand dollars for the
benefit Of the families of the victims will
be sufficient to defeat it.

THE BANDITTI,

Truthful Sheridan has said it-and Sheri.
dan cannot tell ie-that the people Of
Louisiana are banditti and wishes Ulysses ]
have to discard their usual style of dress, else
strangers visiting the State might think our
citizens were civilized beings. Every man
will have to attire himself in costume beft-
ting the new role to which he has been as
signed. Bell-crowned hats, with gaudy
plumes resting jauntily on the side, jackets
a la mode, fancy colored shirts, long sashes
around the waist, in which must be thrust
brace of pistols and the deadly stiletto, knee
breeches, ETC., will hereafter be the fashion.
We would recommend with the greatest
Difference to the awful "Terriier that In ad-
ditiou our citizens wear skulls and crossbones
on the front of their hats and carry carbines
slung across their shoulders. It might be
well for those who are able to do so to raise
ferocious moustaches, as typical brigands al
ways sport the same-at least those who have
appeared on the theatrical boards have al
ways done so. What pity it is that our peo-
pie should have SO wasted their money by pay
ing to sec imaginary bandits on the stage,
when so many real bandits could have been
seen by simply walking along the streets.
We extend to the friends of Gen. Phil.
Sheridan our sympathy, and deeply regret his
unfortunate condition. We have heard that
many man who has been afflicted mentally
has seen, or imagined he saw, snakes, but we
have never before heard of q case in which |
any one so afflicted saw banditti fierce, ter
rible fellows who go roaming about to see if |
they cannot "hurt somebody" We are at a
loss to account for it, unless we attribute it to
the fact that poor Phil. has seen some of the
Northern periodicals. containing illustrations
of the late grand parade of the Knights
Templar in this city, and mistook them for
banditti. We are sorry that the General
should have mistaken the character of these
gentlemen or of our people, as his epithet
might be applied with equal improperly to
either.
