GEN. AUGUR SPEAKS.


New ORLEANS, Jan. 10.
Visiting the state house, the writer found
a ! ne OF Nichols police on tie south eide
of st. Louis street, and on the opposite
side a line of metfop )litan3. En- ing the
building, be found the ~metropolitans look
ing as if they had been on duty all night,
and the members of the legislature present
ing a similar appearance. Gov. Packard,
who had just returned from breakfast,
looking as cool as on yesterday, He stated
that there was no change in the situation,
beyond the fact that the house would have
a quorum to-day, which WAS prevented
yesterday by the fears of the members.
The senate still lacks one. Kellogg, Uni.
ted States Marshal Pitkia AMI others
present were engaged in earnest
conversation All declined any in
formation as their intentions. The
Republican this morning says that abou, 10
O'clock last evening Marshall Pilkin iu-
formed Gen. Augur that the deputies had
been refusel admission TO tue state house.
Gen. Augur Immediately informed Nich-
oils that this must be stopped, Directions
were then given that there should BE- no re-
stricti0ns upon persons entCrng or leaving
the state house. A train from Mobile
brought several companies of United 5 ales
troops last night, and in a leading editorial
on affairs of yesterday the Republican
says: " AS we have at present no govern
ment in the state whose authority is undla-
puted, and as there are two or three con-
gressional committees trying II had the
truth about the late election, perhaps the
president may deem it his dlty to establish
martial law Till such time, il ever, shall
congress C jme to "A conclusion. Such u
step would give to the business community
a season of peace, instead of sounds of war
alarms
