OF armed men that all dry yesterday re-
sounded through the streets Of tho city.
Though we IRE tolerubly we'll seasoned

preference on the part of majority of
the people for government Of any kind
strong enough to maintain itself over
the uncertainties necessarily incident TO

Reports Of the Health Office show
smnll pox again on the increase. Thir-
~ seven cases were reported last week,
md ten this week upto last night. y
majority of these hive been among
1tnlinns and Mexicaus, not protected
by vaccination. Some of the cases arc
recent arrivals in tho city, and this, in
connection with tho fnct that some in
fants have been attacked with tho dis
case without having been exposed to il,
seems to Indicate that the germ OF tho
scourge is still lingering in the atmos-
phere. But few Cinnamon have been
attacked lately, although one was
found dead in Alcok Alley, Monday.
Diptheria is still raging, especially in
that part Of the city south Of Market
\ street. '..'..,
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL.
Representatives Ellis, Levy and Glib.
son, after their interview with the Prcsi-
dent yesterday, tclegrnphed rs follows
to Francis II. Nichols, Governor of
Louisiana: 1--WE advise no attack OH
State House; maintenance OF present
position and delay in tho election Of
long term Senator.
The Louisiana law penalty forbids
the disclosure Of tclegraphic dispatches,
and Congress having fniled to cnnct any
law. overriding this, the State Legislu-
tnrc nnd good lawyers fnil to see how
President Orion OF his suborlinates can
be held i'll contempt for refusing to vio-
late law at the order, not OF Congress-,
but OF Committee of one House only.
The Western Union authorities dlsclniln
any fnctiously obstructive purpose,
their sole aim being 10 throw the re-
sponsibility on Congress, which should
cnnct laws giving notice to teicgraphic
correspondents just how far their COM
municntions IRE privileged and exempt
from exposure. II continues to be
freely asserted among Republicans that
the House wont compel complinncc
with it's demand, because prominent
Tildenites hnyo discovered they emit
afford TO have tho kilograms disclosed.

rum. One member OF the House came
i'll to-day, and that body still has quo
rum. piuchbnck's friends claim he is
master OF tho Senatorial situation.
New YonK, jan. IL.
A 7Imes New Orleans special says:
"Kellogg was elected Senator without
opposition, receiving eighty-three votes.
Elk Governor Yarmouth, member OF
the House, having hinaulf senatorial
aspirations, voted for Kellogg, and in
explaining his vote, said tho validity Of
our State government might 10 in qucs-
ton, and he wished Kellogg 10 10 to
Washington with oil tho support thnt
could DO given hero. Speaking Of Mich
oils course, some authority says hc hns
attempted things which ho could not
lawfully do wcro hc Governor; that by
removing officers Of tho police without
trial, and by appointing Judges Of tho
Supreme Court where no vacancies en-
listed, IL Is believed his haste to tnko
possession Of tho State government, md
tho forciblo means employed without
first oxhansting nll peaceful methods,
will injurc the prospects Of his pnrty.

1880 O'Clock tonight various cornpn-
nics OF militia received orders to ns-
scmblc mt their respective quarters.
