an interview this morning with
Gen. Augur, commanding U. 5.
forces, in connection with the
events of the day but this is
outhoritatively denied, Gen Augur
being interviewed this morning by
member of the press, in answer
to questions put to him, replied
that he was acting under stand
ing ORDERS and had received no
new ones. He did not propose to
interfere with either sidp,. and had
no instructions to that effect either.
He would simply interfere in case
a physical conflict occurred, to
maintain the peace. The press

whethpr he hnd II sufficient force

The Inauguration of Gov. Nj
cholls, at st. Pntrick's Hall, on
the 8th inst, was one of the grand
est sights ever witnessed in Louis

so vast, filling the Hall, the ada

and even the trees, and the streets
and car tops, that it was impossi-
bIe TO estimate its number nc
curateIy, though it is said to have
exceeded forty thousand. Thus,
amid saIvos Of artillery, the cheers
Of a vast multitude of his fellow

Last evening it became gener-

Frederick N. Ogden, commanding
the militia, had received orders to
assemble his troops early in the
morning on Lafayette Square, but
this report obtained little credence
among the people at large, who
bad been disappointed by previous
rumors to the same effect. How
ever, the community realized the
truth OF the report this morning
when, by nine o'clock. they found
about two thousand armed men
coDgregated in the square, com
prising about twenty companies,

IN THE STATE HOUSE.

In the State House th~re werA
assembled about 100 policemen
and two companies of what was
called militia, consisting for the
most part Of dirty, ragged negroes
from tho levee. These were not
entrusted even with arms, but
were marched and drilled as much
as the occasion would allow of.
They were not intended for fight,
but were cooped up in the State
House to get killed, so as to make
" a negro outrage of the affair.
The terror and CONSERVATION in
side the building was simply in
describable. Two or three men
with guns were stationed in the
corridors Of the Senate chamber,
and seemed ready to defend that
portion of the building, which is
perfectly safe from attack. Twenty
or thirty policemen were armed
with guns the rest carried moth
ing bnt their side weapons. The
negro militia was about seventy
five in number, divided into three
companies Of twen8y to thirty
each. They were wholly without
arms.
1t was rumored that kellogg
bad provided % number of hand
grenades for the occasion, with
which to slaughter the people
should they advance ON the State
House. The general fear was that
they would so advance,
AS for the police in the building
they were, utterly disorg"nized aud
scattered all over the building,
not more than twenty of them
being in RANKS. OF the eight or
nine hundred persons who slept
in the building last night, aIl but
very few sDeaked out this morn.
ing,
A vain attempt was made to en-
tico into the building some hun
dred or eighty negroes standing ut
the corner looking on. They en-
pbaticaIlv declined the invitation.

THE POLICE STATION.

The crowd in front of the police sta
ton and courtroom was, ut an early
hour, three or four Thousand IN num-
Der. One company of tire militia was
present under the orders of the Sheriff.
Mr.. Handy.
At about II o'clock the doors leading
to the police courtroom were opened,
and squad of militia marched for
ward and took possession, refusing adj
mittanCe, however, to the mob. A
dozen or so policemen were in the
building, but did not attempt to exer-
else any official acts They were simply
deserters from the garrison in the
Third Precinct Station.
Negotiations were then opened with
Capt. Grey, commanding the police,
who announced that he felt the impos-
sibijty of holding the place with his
present force, and was willing to sur
render. Fifteen minutes were asked
for and given. The police then COM
planned of the crowd outside, saying
that they feared some ill treatment
from them.
Two companies of militia were &C
cordingly marched up and the crowd
dispersed. After a few minutes pre-
paration the police marched out be-
tween files of the militia, and thus es-
c rted they marched down Charities
street, followed by large crowd.
SUPREME COURT.
The newly appointed Judges took
possession of the bench, with Col. RO-
man us clerk.
A large portion OF the bar, perhaps
one hundred members, were present.
A number of motions were offered
and received, but no cases heard.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION.
The Central Police Station was de-
serted at an early hour. only two men
being left in charge of it. The other
police stations were similarly poorly
equipped, the majority of the police
being accumulated at the State House.
SUSPENSION.
The only known act of the Kellogg
Packard government to-day was the So
called suspension of Sheriff Handy for
refusing to obey the mandates of the
Ludelipg government.
