WRIT OF EJEcTMENT SUED OUT AGAINST PACK
ARD co.
NEW ORLEANS, March 19.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Ogden has filed in the Fifth District
Court a petition fer writ Of eiectment
against S. 3. Packard, claiming to be Gov
ernor;J. b. Johnson, claiming to be Superin-
tendent OF Education, and others, residing
in the St. Louis building, known as the
State-HouSe. The petition sets forth that
those persons are unlawfully in possession
Of the State-House, and in the name Of the
State asks that the present occupants be dis
possessed therefrom and the rightful claim
ants-officers of the Nichols government
be given possession. The court has not yet
been called upon to take action in the prem

voked very soon. 1a:
MATTERS ASSUMING FEvEEIsH CAST.
New ORLEANS, March 19.-The Evening
Democrat says: :. Matters are assuming q
feyerish cast around the St. Louis Hotel, and
things look more than ever like a conflict.
BY 81 O'Clock Monday morning there were
gathered about st. Louis and Royal streets
entrances about 1000 negroes, who served
to make the place pandemonium. These
negroes are evidently from the country, and
are here to join Packard's militia, which
be is now engaged in recruiting. He now
admits that he will as soon as possible take
back the police-stations, and says he would
not remain In tue building two hours il he
had all of his arms back. It can be put
down as a settled fact that within very
few days, at the farthest, Packard will
break the peace. His hackers in the hotel
are hot for war, and nothing but the proba-
BILE outcome is talked about. 1t is reported
that he is already in negotiation for the
purchase OF arms, and all the funds come
atable are to be used in securing them. They
boast down there that they do not want the
troops to interfere, and they assert If might
makes right they have might. Our citizens
should beprepared for the turning loose on
the streets Of gang of ignorant negroes led
by white men, for chat now is evidently the
policy of Packard. The situation is as
Stunning much more of q ,Warlike attitude;
than ever before. since January 9th, and the
responsibility of the matter will rest on.

be most bitter.'nsg, ~ i.. .g
