GRECo-RoMAN WRESTLING.

The Greco Roman wrestling match which took
limited number of spectators. The two contestants
were Professor w. Miller and Louis Carteron. The
former is well known the latter arrived from France
only fortnight ago, and appeared last night before
American audience for the first time in his life The
match for 81, 0Oo Miller, before the first bout
the favorite in the pools.
THE RIVALS.
Carteron appeared first upon the stage He is a
lighter than Miller, rather slender Of limb, but
altogether, handsomely developed and, wthal,
ceedingy supple athlete Miller had the favor OF the
audience from the start; and when he brought the
every one saw that he the superior man,
and that the Frcnchman by means a
match for him. In the second bout, however, the
Frenchman planted Mller's two shoulders down upon
the boards but after peculiar fashion that the
audience began to suspect that the match had been
prearranged, and hence great many left The rink in
disgust Miller the third bout and the Frenchman
the fourth and hence both had two bouts apiece.
The Frenchman came up to the mark IN the final
bout looking very much discouraged Miller could
have laid him out in moment, had he desired, but
he spared with him for fifteen minutes So which
ne managed to develop the graces Of the school OF
wrestling which he is devoted when finally he fairly
did not the Frenchman fall and hence could
render decision. Miller caught the Frenchman
again in his arms and threw him second time.
Once the fall decided not TO be fair one At
last Miller hurled hs rival upon the carpet mounted
him. and while the Frenchman lay prone upon his
Mcclellan and Professor De Turk The match was
awarded him.

sympathies of every Northerner, except the
paid retainers Of the Administration.
I have never known more universal disgust
than has been excited by that brutal and
'insane' dispatch of Gen. Cut-throat Sheri-
dan. Especially is it repugnant to every
lawyers mind. 1t bresthed the very spirit Of
the auto da te's of the middle ages, and I
have no doubt that the author Of it would
have been pleased to erect guilotine on Canal
street and send few thousand of your peo-
pie to it. at his discretion. =
Thank God there is enough patriotism and
common sense in the country to rebuke it so
signally, that the brute who wrote the dis
patch will rue it to the last day of his life.

not already dead, this would have killed it.
And to think no man in that Cabinet of slaves

GEN. De TROBRIAND.

We very cheerfuIy give place to the follow
ing communication from a friend of Gen. D
Trobriard, though we do not see that
alters the case, very materially. We holt
that none of the superior officers of Gen
DeTrobriand could have issued him any
order looking to interfere with Legislative
assembly that would have been lawful, an(
as no soldier is called upon to perform more
than his lawful duty, it was improper, nay
positively wrong, in the General to have
obeyed the order, from whatever source il
may have emanated.
We understand perfectly well that Gen. De
Trobriand did not disturb the Legislature
because he wanted to, but because he was
under orders which he believed it to be his
duty to obey, and it is for precisely that rea-
son that we have found fault with him.
There is not only danger to States, but great
danger to the Republic itself, when soldiers
Of the country can bring themselves to
believe that orders commanding them to dis
perse Legislatures must be obeyed. If this
precedent be permitted to stand, an officer
armed with an order from Gen. Emory, Gen.
Sheridan, or, for that matter, from General
President Grant, will some day march into
the House of Representatives of the
United, States and eject at the point
OF the bayonet enough Democrats to insure
Radical majority. The crime would be no
greater, and the President could find Just as
many excuses for it as he has for tho one COM
mitted in Louisiana Unless the army off,
GERS, from Gen. Sherman down, do in
some emphatic manner denounce the action
of Sheridan and the interference by the
military in our Legislature, they must be re-
garded as indorsing it, and the army becomes
a threat and menace to the whole country.
January IA, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Sir-In an editorial article headed "Mili-
tary Interference in Civil Affairs" in your
issue Of this date, you discuss the personal
of Gen. De Trobriand in the
that took place in the State-House
on the 4,h of January.
As Gen. De Trobriand can not, in his posi-
lion, enter into any public discussion Of his
official acts, allow me, as person thoroughly !
informed In the matter, to inform you that |
your whole reasoning is based upon an erro-
aeous information as to the actual facts.
Gen. De Trobriand did not receive any or
lers from Gov. Kellogg, but only written re-
quests, and to comply with these, he required |
explicit and direct orders in writing from su-
,erior military authority.
You will, therefore, perceive that the case
8 not rs you represent it. The record of
vents in the State-House on that day proves
conclusively, for, after the reading Of the
wo official documents from Gov. Kellogg to
he House, Gen. De Trobriand, addressing
be Speaker, said: ~ must inform you, sir,
hat have received positive orders to comply
nth the request of the Governor"
In justice to the General, who cannot speak
Or himself, it is hoped that you will publish
bis. as matter of simple record and to pre-
ent wrong construction. SPECTATOR. I

SPEAKER WILT TO PRESIDENT
GRANT.

We append a dispatch sent by Speaker
Wilt, of the House of Representatives, to
President Grant. The request of Speaker
Willy that the statu quo existing at the time
Gen. De Txobriand elected the members OF
the House should be restored, is eminently
proper, though we think it might have been
couched in more imperative language.
As President Grant in his message states
that the interference of the military on the
4th inst. was unauthorized by him, and that
he was not aware of such interference until
the 5th inst, we do not see how he can refuse
this just and reasonable request.
Should the President accede to this request
and restore the statu quo, we hope that no
Conservative or Democratic member of the
Legislature will enter the State-House until
the last soldier is Withdrawn from the build
ing the last barricade torn down and each
and every citizen permitted ingress and egress
without let or hindrance to the building and
to the halls Of the Senate and House of Repre-
in other words the State House
must be as free to the citizens of Louisiana
IS the State-Houses of other States are to their
citizens.
New ORLENs, Jan. IA, 1875.
o. S. Grant, President Washington u. c.:
Seeing from your message that the inter-
ference by the military on Monday, the 4th,
with the organization Of the House of Repre- |
of the State of Louisiana wss un-
by you, now as Speaker of said |
House, ask you to direct the military to re-
tore the statu quo existing at the time Gen.
De Trobriand elected certain members from
he House, in order that the House Of Repre-
may proceed in the discharge Of
Is duties without molestation.

speaker Of the House Of Representatives Of
