The New Orleans Trouble.

Eyerything continued quiet at New
ORLEANS yesterday, and the number of
soldiers at the State House was rednc-
ed 10 about twenty. General Sheridan
sent another telegram yesterday TO tho
Secretary of War, sayfng that the city
was very quiet" that some of the
banditti' had threatened to ASA ssinate
him the previous night; but that he
would not be stopped from informing
the Government that there are some
localities in this department where the
very air has been impregnated with as
sassination for some years." Two tele-
grams were sent to the General yester
day by Secretary Belknap, stating that
The President and Cabinet approved
his course and had confidence in his
wisdom. Dcnials of the Generals
statements, however continue to come
from New Orleans. The Board of I'm
dcrwriters, of that city unanimously
adopted a report, yesterday coptradic-
| ting the assertions of what the term
his "insane dispatch" of the 4th inst.
An address to the people of the coun-
try, of similar purport, has also been
issued, signed by the Roman Catholic
Archbishop of New Orleans, the Epis-
copal Bishop of Louisiana; Bishop Kee-
yer, of the Methodist Episcopal Church
J. K.'Luthern, pastor of the Jewish
Temple of Sinai, in New Orleans, and
other clergymen. At n meeting of the
New Orleans bank presidents last even
ing resolutions contradicting Gen.
Sheriden were also adopted.

Congress Yesterday,

In theAU. 8. Senate yesterday, Mr..
Thurmah's.-r .-resolution of inquiry re.
garding the Louisiana troubles was
discussed at length, and the Senate ad-
.journed without acting upon II -. -.
In the House, several new bills were
introduced, among them one by Mr..
Haskins, of New York, abolishing the
stamp tiuties.in Schedules B and q OF
Section 10 of the act OF June 40, 1854,
and increasing the duty on distilled
spirits from 10 to so cents per gallon.
A bill was passed fixing the Adjutant
Generals Department of the Army.
Mr. Hale, of Maine, offered resolu-
ton directing the Judiciary Commit
toe to report bill providing for a
new election in Louisiana under prop
er guards against fraud. Objection
being made, he gave notice that on
Monday next he would move to sus-
pend the rules and adopt the resolu-
tion. The Fertilization bill was con-
sidered in Committee of the Whole,
and after a lively discussion ON the
Louisiana business, was reported to
the House and passed. r. b. Irwin
was then brought before the bar OF
the House, and was asked the nan:Cs
of those employed to procure the Pa
cifc Mail subsidy from the Congress
of 1872. He refused to give the
names, but said the largest sum paid
to any one person was S276, 600. Fol
his refusal to give names he was re-
manded to the custody of the Ser
geant-at-arms, and ordered to be sent
to Jail for contempt of the House. Ad
journed.

REDUCTION IN Coal. the organi-
zation of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company it was claimed
by the managers that as coal would be
furnished directly by the producer to
the consumer, the profits made by the
middlemen would be saved by the
latter. We notice by a circular just
issued by the company that reduc-
tion of from fifty to sixty cents per
ton, according to size, has been made
in the price of coal from the first OF
January. AS such reduction at this
season of the year, when most collie
ries are idle, is unprecedented, 1t seems
but fair that credit should be given to
the managers for this evidence OF de-
termination to fulfill their promises -

The Washington press feel much in
'censed Mt the treatment they have re-
oeiv.d at the White House recently on
occasions Of public receptions. The Star
has this to say of the matter:
"..Last year the representatives of the
press were treated SO discourteously at
the official White House reception on
the LIST of January, that but few were
present yesterday, and those few were
treated to a repetition of this rudeness.
tits possible that General Grant is not
aware of this offensive treatment of the
press by his employees, and which is in
such marked contrast to the courtesies
extended to press representatives in the
past at the White House"
The contempt which the ill-tempered
and ignorant man Of the White House
has shown toward the Washington press
people serves them right. They were
all Radical negro-worshippers, and have
been guilty of such dunkyism that out
side parties, and those who were not Of
the ring and had nothing to expect, and
asked no courtesies, were long since dis
gusted at what they had seen and read.
