Hon. W W Bellnap, Secretary of War:
think the terrorism now existing
In Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-'
sas could be entirely removed and con-
fidence and fair dealing established 10y
the arrest and trial of the ring leaders
of the armed white league, If congress
would pass bill declaring them ban
dilti they could be tried by II military
commission. The leaders of this ban
ditu committed murder here on the
l4th of last September aud, also, more
recently at Vicksburg, Mississippi, and
in the interest of law, order, peace and
prosperity of this southern part of the
country, they shonld be punished. 1t
is possible that If the president would
issue q proclamation declaring them
banditti that no further action need be
taken, except which would devolve
upon me. 7 p. ii. SHERIDAN,

The city is very quiet to day. No
unusual demonstration in any quarter.
The military still occupy the state
house.
NEw't i DIRK, January s. Referring
TO the proceeding at New Orleans yes
terday, the Herald says: There was
witnessed In the louisiana state house
Yesterday, a spectacle which is tie first
of the Kind in in this country, and
which should cause every true Ameri-
cafr To- blush with shame and indigna-
ttton! I'VE congratulate the citizens of
louisiana and people of the country
| thatsthi extraordinary aud most re-
| q no ,,f s,rnvnlxn uinlanna
and f'blOodshed. 'Forcible resistance
wonld have 'heen justifiable In this case
If IL be ever justifiable inany case, for
n greater outrage on every principle OF
free government was never perpetrated.
Were itnotifor the fact that the people
of Louisiana have sure recourse for re-
dress OF their grievances in the sense
of Justice of the whole country, in the
public resentment, which will be kim
died to the highest pitch by these
atrocities and unexampled proceedings:
The Tribune says: Nothing in
the history of the events of the great
conspiracy, 10y which border-ruffians
undertook to seize the territory and
state of Kansas, can furnish any paral-
lei for this browning iniqnity of the
federal administration. the citizens
of Louisiana have been themselves
cheated and defrauded, and when the
fraud came near to failure, they have
seen the whole power of the general
government used to consummate it
and made villainy successful. They
made no cutlery, but upon the facts as
they are, they invoke the deliberate
Judgment of the American people.
The World says: We hope there is
no American who can read the news
from New Orleans, without a thrill of
shame and rage.
The Times expresses no opinion
upon the merits of the case.
The Evening Post to-day says the
employment of the federal army, yes
terday, in the organization of the leg
islature of the state of Louisiana, ap-
pears to be absolutely unjustifiable.
The following explains itself:
New ORLEANS. January 5, 1875.
To His Excellency, us. Grant, President OF
the United states: .o... .--.,.
In the name Of liberty and all lovers
of liberty throughout the United States,
l do most earnestly protest against the
acts of the military forces of the United
States on yesterday, in the occupation
of the state house, in the forcible ejec-
ton by the troops Of the members OF
the legislature and the elected speaker
of the house and the subsequent organ
ization of the house by the direct, for.
chile intervention of the military. |
affirm, in the name of the whole
American people, that the action on
the part of the military in this city
Yesterday, is subversive of republican
institutions of this free country. u.
.[Signed.], reu JOHN McHENRY.
q. MADRID, January 5.--Preparation Is
being made at Barcelona for the re-
ception of Alfonso. The city will be
illuminated and the troops will be re.
viewed by his majesty. .tt
The bank of Spain has loaned the
government forty million reals.

WASHINGTON, January Vice Pres
ident Wilson deprecates, in harsh
terms, the action of the military al
New Orleans. He Is reported as say.
iugthat it was an infamous affair, and
the death blow to the republican party.
| The following telegram was sent to
General Sheridan to-day: stai-''

To General P. II sheridan, New Orleans:

your course ,,.,t.gl.

There Is no probability that the pres
ident will issne such a proclamation as
Sheridan suggested IN his telegram to
the secretary Of war yesterday
:, Prominent officials here endeavor To
shield Sheridan from the storm of in
dignation raised all over the country
by representing that he did not assume
command until 9 o'clock Monday eve
ming, and General Emory, acting under
exclusive orders, is responsible for. the
military Invasion OF the late legisla-
ture, but the President is quoted as
saving, "Geheral Sheridan is on the
spot and knows what to DO, and his
action will meet executive support.
Vice President Wilson quoted the
Sheridan dispatch and 1t may be
positively stated that the Sheridan
