CITY AFFAIRS.
WHAT WAS SAID LAST NIGHT.
The People Determined To Have Their
Rights.

The talk about the streets and in every
place Of resort last night was warlike
The feeling OF determination on the
part of the people to have their rights
at oil hazards, instead OF diminishing
with the delays OF weeks, seems now
more centralized and vigorous than eveI
| before, In the st. Charles rotunda. on
| Canal street, and In fact everywhere,
knots of citizens discussed the situation
with great oalmness, but when the sub.
ieot OF compromise, or any
TREATY WITH PAoKARD's crowd
was mentioned, there was at once q
strong and significant intimation
thrown out that this would not be sub.
mitted to. A reporter made 1t his busi-
ness to stroll around all the central
localities during the evening, In the
course Of which he met with men who
are essentially representative OF the
single individual who was willing to
endure much less than support COM
promise.
One old gentlemen, who has seen the
Mississippi River rise and fell in front
OF our city for sixty years said, II would
take up my shotgun Tomorrow rather
than submit to
SUCH AN OUTRAGE.
Louisianians will never stand it"
=" People North can have no appre-
citation OF our situation said another.
Here we have been ct the very tension
Of our endurance sinee November and
we are now In the last OF March, and
this question is not settled yet. The
masses cannot stand 1t much longer,
and President Hayes will be responsl-
BILE for the consequences. We don't
care for pretty Inaugural speeches !;
what we want Is local government with
all buncombe left out; that 3 what we're
looking. for. and nothing but that will
suit us"
GEN. AUauR WILL NOT TALK
about status quo, or anything else con-
corning IN Alters here. He claims sol
dier's privilege, and desires to take no
shar In shaping events here. In feet
all the troops here are anything but
satisfied at their present employment,
and from many expressions dropped by
numerous soldiers they would hail with
delight an order to go into quarters at
the Barracks.
THE SUPREME eUoRT.
Doubtless owing to the success ~ en-
joyed by Judge Shaw, In Paekard's Ho-
tel In the role OF Superior Civil Judge,
there Is On ,tention to establish an
other tribunal in the building, and this
time 1t is Supreme Court; Ludeling,
Il. North CulIom and Dibble. with two
associates, will be called to the bench,
and then the best governed hotel In the
universe will be- the st. Louis. An acre
of ground with o. Governor, Lieutenant
Governor. Secretary OF State, Superin-
tendent of Education, Auditor. Treas
urer, squads of impotent tax collectors,
Of Police, Supreme
Court, Superior Civil Court, Recorders
Court, and two hundred policemen,
ought to be considered the most
"muchly" governed parcel Of land our
country can shoE.
The status quo order received by Gen.
Augur yesterday seemed to mollify con.
siderably the hard feelings expressed
the day before. against Hayes, but it
would take shower Of mama to fill
the paunches of hope of these predatory
tribes sufficient to satisfy them that
they could possibly erect State struc-
ture even durable enough TO last week.
There can be no doubt but what the Ho-
tel guests thoroughly realize the true
situation Of affairs, and are cognizant of
the fact that 1t is better to slide down
an inclined plane whereon hog's lard has
been spread than run the risk OF splin-
ters on the dry boards.
