About six o'clock this evening the
Nichols militia, about five thousand
strong, had a review on st. Charles
Street, opposite Lafayette Square. As
they marched through the street they
were cheered by the men and ladies, who
thronged the galleries and waved their
handkerchief. They were principally
armed with Springfield rifles, with bay
onets and cartridge boxes, though
some were armed with carbines, shot
guns, and old muskets, and marched in a
manne that showed they were familiar
with the school of the company. After
the review the companies we're detailed
for duty and marched oft to different
points. Some are p~atrolling the city to-
night, but most of them were disbanded
for the night. ALI ages, from sixteen to
sixty, are representedin this militia, and
all nations, except Africa, are repre-
sented. As they passed the Custom
house, this morning, on their march to
Jackson Square, the windows on old
Levee Street were filled with United

their guns to a carry arms and gave three
cheers, which were responded to by the
soldiers.

the term ending 1879. There was no
choice for the long term.
The Republican Legislature had no
quorum in either branch to-day, some
of the members were outside, and asserted
that they were afraid to risk their lives
inside. Consequently no action was
taken toward the election of United
States Senators.

aloat tonight, notably one thatthe State
house is to be attacked. On this subject,
