warlike Signs In Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, March l9.-The
Evening Democrat says that mat.
tiers are assuming q !everish cas-,
around the st. Louis hotel and things
look more than ever like conflict. By
$3.50 Monday morning there were
gathered about the st. Louis and Royal
street entrances about 1000 negroes, who
served to make the plsce pandimonium.
These negroes, who are evidently from
the country, are here to join
Packsrd's militia which he is now en-
gagged in recruiting. He now admits that
he will, as soon as possible take back
the police stations and says he would not
remain in the building two hours il he
had all his arms back. 1t can be put
down as settled fact that within rev
days at the farthest Packard will break
peace with his hackers in the hotel.
They are hot for war and nothing
but probable outcome is talked
about. 1t is reported that he is already
In negotiation for the purchase of arms,
and all funds comestabIe are to be used
in securing then. They boast down
there that they don't want troops TO in

might. Our citizens should be pre-
pared for the turning loose on
the streets of gsugs of ignorant negroes,
led by bad men, for that now is evident.
ly the policy of Packard. The situstion
is assuming more of warlske attitude
than ever since January 9th, and the re-
sponsibility of the mstter will rest on
Packard, and the fruits he will gather
will be most bitter.

NEW ORLEANS, March l9.-Nicholls'
police have arrested Packards recruiting
officers. Several have been locked up,
charged with attempting to create y
riot, and enlisting men to overthrow the

commission. He was the object of great
attention from the crowd in the visiting

men from their present positions, and
would make no changes without careful
consideration.

Iusurauce Case Decided.

LOUISVILLE, March l9.-In the case
of Susie Jackson against the Mound City
Lite Insurance Company of st. Louis,
the jury to-day found a verdict for the
defendant. Geo. n. jackson, the plain.
tihs husband, was cashier for the United
States Revenue Collector of this port. In
1875 a deialcation was discovered
amounting to $4,000. Jackson was
suspected, but died before the guilt
could be proven. An examination OF
HIM revealed arsenic in the stomach, and
upon this fact the insurance con pany
contested the payment of the policy,
claiming suicide as the grounds for
their sction. The trial OF this case caused
much a,te ntion.

LOUISIANA affairs are again becoming
Interesting. While we have assurances
from Washington that the question Of
dual governments in the South will be
speedily settled, appearances seem to in =
dicate that in Louisiana at least the
question is likely to be settled BY the
local authorities, in advance OF what may
be ncccted as the Presidents Southern
policy" Yesterday tho Attorney-Gen-
ersl of Louisiana filed petition for a
writ of ejectment against PACKARD and
his officers, and it is probable that the
Court will be invoked to take prompt
action in the premises. In addition to
this, PACKARD, in his "pent-up Utica
the st. Louis hotels becoming impa-
tient and has assumed decidedly War
like attitude. On dnesday morning
a mob of about one thousand negroes sur
rounded PACKARDs quarters, bowling
for blood. They had come to join his
militia, which he Is recruiting as rapidly
as he can, with the svowed attention Of
breaking the statue quo.
The people OF Louisiana would doubt
less relish a fight with PACKARD's gang
of thieves as the best and quickest way of
ridding the State of their presence;
which in fair contest would undoubted-
" be the result. 1t may be, however,
that PACKARD is acting under the advice
of his friends at Washington, in which
case we may look for the government
troops to step in and decide the contest IN
his favor.
