New ORLEANS, January 6.-No new
developments this morning. 1t will bt
remembered that the admission OF tivt
members who had not been returned by
the re urning board was made the basis
for the military order to clear the house,
and those five members were put out at
the point Of the bayonet. 1t now tran.
spires that the Republicans, since the re-
tIrement of the DemOcr IS, having only
fifty one members with certificates, have
admitted three members who occupied
pr cisely the same position as the five
gentlemen who were elected. They were
two Radicals from DeS0to and one from
! Grant. The question arises: Why don't
the military again interpose and put
these men Out,as they did the five DEM
| ocrats?
THE PEOPLE MUST BEAR AND FoRBEAR.
To the People of Louisiana:
In the name of all that men hold dear
aud sacred, l implore my citizens
| to avoid by all means the traps which
our enemies and oppressors have delib-
erately set for US. Our deiiverapce from
| political bondage depends on our pru-
| dence and fOrbearance, and q conflict
with the soldiers or authorities would be
| the ruin of our hOpes-the rivetiDg Of
| our chains. A little more of heroism,
| patience and fOrbearance, which has al
| ready crowned you with imperishabIe
honor and aroused the sympatnIes of the
entire country in Y ur favor, and usurpa-
| ton and misrule, to which you are now
| subject, will have ceased, and you will
be once more free, prosperous and q
happy people. R.. MARI,

was no excitement of any kind. The

caucus at No. ii st. Louis street, but
nothing Of special interest transpired.
The members are patiently awaiting the

To the American People:
Whereas, General Sheridan, now In
command of the department Of Mis-
SnY1ri hoe rlpdnr dotn Of fha FDt1nth -,
slant, addressed communication to
General Belknap, secretary of war, in
which he represents the people of |
Louisiana at large as breathing ven-
geance to all lawful authority aud ap.
proving of murder and crimes; and, |
whereas, he has given to that communi- |
cation full publicity, we, the under |
signed, believe it Is our duty to proclaim |
to the whole American people that these |
charges are unmerited, unfOunded snd |
and can have no other effect /
than Of serving the intere sts of corrupt |
polite ans, who are at this moment |
making most extreme efforts to per-
petuate their power over the State Of
Louisiana.

A OTHER LIE FROM THE CHIEF OF
LIARS.
NEW ORLEANS, January o, 1876.
Hon. W. w. Belknap, secretary of War,
Wash ngtOn:
The city is very quiet to-day. Some
Of the banditti made idle threats last
night that they would assassinate me
because l dared to tell the truth. l am
not afraid, and will not be stopped from
informing the government that there
are localities in this department where
the very air has been impregnated with
for some years.
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Lteutenant-Gene eraI Commanding.

ieneral p. II. sheridan, New Orleans;
The President and sll Of US have full

lent will issue such proclamation as
in his telegram TO Secretary
