lDY TELEGRAPH To THH TRIDUSEI
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-Thero is no change in the
situation nor ia any probable unless the COnserva
tives should go into formal sessions the legal
legislature 1t is understood that in such event
Sheridan will dispense them with his soldieTa
Sheridan's report to Belknap is regarded ny the
people here as admitting everything they claimed.
He distinctly assumes the right Judging who
entitled to seats In the House and Of rejecting those
who, in his opinion, were not entitled. That is con-
sdered quite sufficient. As far his alusion to the
part Of Speaker Willis having first invoked military
assistance it must be remembered that Cen de TrO-
BRAND was already occupying the State House under
orders. as he said. TO prevent disturbance.
The soldiers were in the buildings. Wilt merely
asked him TO speak TO disorderly crowd assembled
In the lobby. He never solicited the presence of
soldiers on the floor Of the House. Sheridan claims
that the object Of Witt and the Conservatives was
to bring on bloodshed, and yet admits that Wilt
asked De Trobriand to suppress a threatened dis
turbance in the lobby.
Radicals here though it is believed he made it pub
lie with Kelloggs knowledge and consent. 1t may
be regarded as an indication of the policy of she
Kellogg wing Notwithstanding KellOGg's open tcle-
gram to West. They consider themselves beaten on
the present issue and are now working for new
election 10 be held under Grants auspices.
Dibble is known to have been KeOggs chief ad-
viser-the brains, nerve and spirit of the whole
concern Ii is not probable he would have taken
such step without consultation and agreement.
Dibbles admission that the White League had the
effect of suppressng violence gives great offenSe.
particularly as il il in direct conflict with Sheri
dams assertions. II happens to be true however.
The colored State officials particularly Antoine.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. and Brown. Superintendent
of Education. have positively refused their consent
to the arbitration Of the Congressional Committee.
All the McEnery party consented formally and
rnacrivocaIlv In writing. The Others. Kellogg
included, RETAINED.
The feeling here is rather in favor
of new election. If it can be
held under Congressional auspices. and absolutely
beyond any Interference of Grant. Such an cleo
ton however. as was proposed By Butler, and viii
be proposed by Morey Cthe Kellogg bin, would not
be toucbed by the whites on any condition.
