The report of the coming of Gen.
Sheridan to New Orleans has caused
NJ little speculation as to the exact
purpose for which he has been sent.
Under existing circumstances, the Or
dering Of the Lieut.. Gen. of the army
to that point, is rather significant, and
shows conclusively that the President
intends there shall be no blunders
or omissions on the part of the mill
tary in case their services should be
required, and at the same time have
an officer there who will give plain
unvarnished report Of whatever may
transpire. There is on doubt Sher-
idan possesses the entire confidence
and he well deserves it-of the
President, and at the same time there
is not another general officer of the
army who SO thoroughly under
stands the people of this State, or who
sas we'll calculated to deal with them.
The moral influence of his presence
there is a power in itself, and we
doubt not that the same magic in
tluence that rallied to victory a flying
and demoralized army at Winchester,
will hold in check the turbulent and
| disorderly element of our capital city,
as they we'll know that while doing
Justice to all he is not the man to be
hnmbugged or tritled with, and that
if called upon to use the troops to pre-
serve the public peace, he will do SO
in a manner at once thorough and
decisive.-Republican Pioneer.

MIXED ScHooLs.-In the South this
means schools in which white and
colored pupils are mixed together.
Although the law of Louisiana is very
positive on this point and forbids the
making of any distinction on account
of color, yet there are very few, if
any, mixed schools outside Of New
Orleans. Neither white nor colored
people, throughout the country, want
mixed schools. In those parishes
where the school system has proved
most successful and the best schools
have been maintained, separate
schools have existed all the time. In
some cases the white and colored
schools have been in the immediate
neighborhood Of each other, but nc
trouble has occurred. Actual results
in several parishes have proved that
separate schools can be maintained
and equal justice done to both races
without the slis shtest collision or diff

if it was not possible for him to pre-
serve order without appealing to him
as United States army officer. Mr..
Wilt said it was not, whereupon the
General proceeded to the lobby, and
addressing few words to the crowd,
peace was at once restored.
On motion of Mr.. Dupre, Mr.. Wilt
then, in the name of the General AS
sembly of the Stat. of Louisiana,
thanked Geueral DeTrobriaud for his
interference in behalf of law and Or
der, and the General withdrew.
The Republicans had now generally
withdrawn from the hall, and united
in signing a petition to the Governor
stating their grievances, and asked
his aid, which petition, signed by
tifty-two legally returned members of
the House, is in my possession. I'm
mediately subsequent to the action of
Mr.. Wiltz in ejecting the clerk of the
old House, Mr.. Billieu moved that
two gentlemen from the parish of De
Soto, one from Winp, one from Bien-
vile and one from Iberia, who had
not been returned by the Returning
Board, be sworn in as members, and
they were accordingly sworn in by
Mr.. Wilt, and took seats upon the
floor as members of the House.
A motion was now made that the
House proceed with its permanent Or
ganization, and accordingly the roll
was called by Mr.. Trezevant, the act
ing clerk, and Wilt was declared
elected Speaker and Trezevant clerk
of the House. Acting on the protest
made by the majority, the Governor
now requested the commanding gen.
eral of the department to aid him in
restoring order and enable the legally
returned members of the House to
proceed with its organization accord
ing to law. This request was reason
able and in accordance with law.
Remembering vividly the terrible
massacre that took place in this city
on the assembling Of the constitutional
convention in 1856, at the Mechanics
Institute, and believing taht the lives
of the members of the Legislature
would be endangered in case an or
ganization under the law was at
tempted, the posse was furnished with
the request that care should be taken
that no member of the Legislature
seturned by the Returning Board
should be elected from the floor. This
military posse performed its duty
under directions from the Governor
Of the State and removed from the
floor of the House those persons who
had been illegally seated and who
had no legal right to be there; where
upon the Democrats arose and left
the House, and the remaining men,
bers proceeded to effect all organiza-
tion under the State laws.
In all this turmoil in which blood
shed was imminent, the military be-
l,aved with great discretion. When
Mr.. Wiltz, the usurping Speaker Of
the House, called for troops to pre-
vent bloodshed, they were given him.
When the Governor of the State called
for posse for the same purpose and
to enforce the law, it was furnished
also. Had this not been done it is ny
firm belief that scenes Of bloodshed
would have ensued.

A QUARTETTE OF SISTERS.

a FRUITFUL BALTIMORE MoTHER-FoUR
LIVELY BABIES DEPOSITED IN CRADLE
AT ONE TIME.
The Baltimore Sun of the Goth inst. gives
the following interesting case of prolific
human fecundity: The four babies who
made their first appearance on Tuesday
night, at No. 119 Low street, held nm
merously attended levee yesterday. All CT
them were in apparent sound health. and as
good humored as the circumstances would
permit. The proper name OF the mother
aud father of the children is Hahn.
The babies were visited by hundreds
OF ladies' from all parts of the
city, and some who live out fit A num-
Der of these came in carriages. At least a
score of physicians called to see the phe-
nomeDa of nature. One physician coming
from Washington and another from Phila-
delphis. The babies were christeDed on
"Wednesday by the Rev. Father Malloy, of
st. Johns parish, at the request of the
mother. They were named respectively
Sarah, Mary, Kate and Jennie, and each
was duly labelled to prevent them from be-
coming mixed, which would otherwise be
likely to happen. as they are as much alike
as four peas Last evening Miss Sarah
walked mp and was invited to take supper,
but the roomful of strangers ruffled
her temper, and she demonstrated
to the audience the soundness of her lungs.
Misses Kate, Jennie and Mary in the mean
while continued their nap. Mrs. Hahn was
quite i'll, but no doubt is expressed by ply
sicians that she will recover, and the pros
| poets that the children will live and thrive
are quite promising. When the announce
ment was made at O'Clock last night that
the babies refused to receive any more WIS.,
itors until this morning, the pavement in
front of the house was crowded with ladies,
who went regretfully away. The father oil
the children Is thirty years old, was born in
Germany, but came to this country when
one year old. Mrs. Hahn, who isAalso
thirty years of age, was born In
the United States. She has for sew

tor the past six weeks has been i'll. Mr..
Hahn is a cigar maker, and has been out of
work for six weeks. Yesterday be attempted
to steal away for a few moments to neigh

but he had only become seated in the chair
when orders came from
his BUSINESS MANAGER
that the visitors demanded to see him, and
with an unshaven face and sigh OF despair
he returned TO his post, and the audience was
appeased. A reporter, whose interest in the
science and the arts led him to visit the scene
yesterday, took advantage of the occasion TO
question the doorkeeper as regards the re-
ceipts from the show, and was exhibited

$40, which be said was but one
days result. The emphatic and persuasive
manner in which the advantages of family
ticket was urged by the earnest money
taker made its impression on the reporter,
and he passed up the winding stairway
without biting at the golden opportunity:
Upon reaching the top he was admitted by a
small man into a small room, in which there
was a small stove, all corresponding to a
nicely. not to speak of the four small babies
in g small crib at one side of the room.
There were dozen persons, mostly women,
bending eagerly over the crib. Tucked in,
two at one end, and two at the other, were
the objects of interest, possessing no pc
culiarity distinct from other babies except
their diminutive size, not even q strawberry
mark being visible. Could they stand
erect they might reach the digniged hight
of one foot, and they might perhaps turn
the scales at about five pounds each
