THE SOUTH.
New ORLEANS, January G.-The Time
says: 1t will be remembered that the i'd
mission Of Eve members who had moi
been returned by the Returning Board
was made the basis for the military order
TO clear the hall, and those five members
were put out at the point OF the bayonet
II now transpires that the Republicans
since the retirement OF the Democrats
having only ffty-one members with Ger
tiRcates, have admitted three members
who occupied precisely the same position
as the FIVE gentlemen who were elected
They were two Radicals from De Soto
and one from Grant. The question arises
why don't the military again interpose
and put those men out, as they did the
Eve Democrats?

The city Ia very quiet to-day, Some Of
the banditti made idle threats last night

localities in this department where the

An Appeal from New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, January O.-At u spe-
cial meeting Of the Board Of Under
writer's held to-day the following report
Of the committee appointed at the pre-
yious meeting was unanimously adopted ;
ResoIved, That this Board has read with
feelings Of the deepest sorrow and morti.
ticati0n the published insane dispatch Of
General p. II. Sheridanto the Honorable
Secretary Of War, under date Of the 4th
inst, and that we esteem 1t wanton, gross
and uniuStiGable wrong on the fair fame
OF every citizen Of our State and county
This Board has been established for purely
commercial purposes, no political ques'
tion having ever been discussed or pro.
posed by Il; but In view Of this criminal
outrage upon the best interests Of our
city by stranger In temporary power not
only warrants but demands from us this
expression Of our unqualified denial OI
those vile asperSions upon our citizens
that we give our assurance 10 our brother
Underwriters In the North and West that
we claim to be true and loyal citizens o.
the United States, and a. such we are al
law.loying and law.ablding peoplci that
life and property are az safe with us a!
with them, for the truth OF which We con
idently appeal 10 the noble army o.
Knights 1emplar from every Statt
in the Union, who recently visited
our city; that we cannot but express
our surprise that any one occupying thu
position Of General Sheridan should pre-
sume to such knowledge Of bis alleged In
portNnt facts upon such brief opportuni
ties as he possibly could have during th'
time he has been in the South, and thI
only excuse we find for such utterances Il
the suggestion that comes 10 Ia this morn
ing from New York, that this dispatCl
was written In Washington and sent Il
General Sheridan before he left hi
Northern command; that we earneStl.
appeal to our Northern brethren, to tn
Congress Of the United States, to their loy
Of liberty and Justice, to afford lis tha
protection from this present violence ant
from the wrong and outrage that may fol
low, which, IN fellow-citiEenso Of thi. grea
country, we have a right to demand; tha
we cordially endorse the manly and pa
triotic expressions Of the Cotton FIX
change at their last meeting.

70 he people Of Louisiand'
In the name Of all men hold dear an
sacred, | implore my fellow citizens t
avoid by all means the traps which on
enemies and oppressors haye'deliberatel
set for lis. Our deliverance from pc
litical bondage depends on our coni idenc
and forbearanCc, and q conflict with I'll
soldiers or authorities would be the raj
Of our hopes, the riveting Of ourchains.
| little more heroism, and the patience an
forbearance which has already crowne
YOU with imperishOble honor, and arouse
The sympathies Of the entire country !
your favor, and the usurpation and mil
rule to which you are now subject, vii
have ceased, and YOU will be once more
free, a prosperous, and happy people.
