New orleans have C0unseled 10 the
contrary, There u fenr, however, that |
the rash conduct Un the part Of n few /
might prcclpitntc n collision " arms, |
aud thus lead to active federal inter- |
ference. II Is known that the eNecu-
tive department II closely watching
the course OF events IN Louisiana, aud
has recently received much private /
information on the subject, aud II IL |
further stated that the president has
earnestly expressed his determination
TO preserve peace.
The legislature meets on the lth of
January when IL il expected stern op.
position will be made in the house Of
representatives TO the rulings Of the
returning board, and TO this time
prominent persons here are looking
with much sollcitude.
There Is nosdetermination as yet, of
supercedng General Emory. To re-
call him now and send another officer
to take his place would, ii is said, APP
pear as II the executive were prepar-
ing for conflict which may not take
place and also increase the present eX-
element, but there Is some color to-
the report that, should 1t become
necessary, General Sheridan would pro-
coed to New Orleans and assume COM
mand. If rumor Is TO he credited he
will be in proximity TO New Or
leans on the day of the meeting of the
legislature. While care will be taken
to do nothing whatever to inflame the
public mind, the government will be
| prepared to act in such manner as
circumstances may require.
1t is mildly but positively stated in
the taverns that Sheridan will be IN
New Orleans on the 4th of January,
as visitor, with orders in his pocket
from the president, to be promulgated
at General sSheridan's discretion, which
will give him immediate sway in that
section. This is probably true, as the
president shirks the responsibility OF
ordering General Emory through Gen
eral Mcdowell. In an emergency
the president wants man there who
will do work without involving the
president before the country.
Bristow has ordered the solicitor of

An inquest will be held over tile
body of Byerly tomorrow.
Dr. Schumacher held post mortem
examination to-day, which was as fol-
lows: "There were found to be six
wounds, only one of which was super
fetal, being slight flesh wound over
the abdomen. Any one of the other
five would have caused death, two of
which were in the back of the left
side penetrating the spleen. These
were the immediate cause of his death.
The three other wounds penetrated the
side between the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth ribs, and would have caused
death in couple of weeks from pneu-
monia though they were not OF an I'M
mediate dangerous character"
In commenting OH the report that
Sheridan has been ordered to New Or
leans, the Times says: zone OF the
questions of the day is whether Phi.
| Sheridan is to ride down this way or
mot. Phil. has been here before; his
reputation as q rider and raider stands
high, but as soother of political
troub and correttor of political
abuses, he is anything but success.
His conduct while In command of this
department was frequently of most
short sighted and arbitrary character,
and especially was this the case ! his
interference with our municipal AZ
fairs" -
