NEW ORLEANS, July 25.-Major e. A.

TALLY that he had resided in New Orleans since
1863; was here in 1876; left for Washington on
the 18th OF January, 1875; was sent by Cover
nor Nichols to represent the interests of the
Nichols state government.
Nichols was informed that efforts were be-
lbg made to misrepresent the condition of
affairs In louisiana to President Grant, who II
was alleged was asked to interfere in behalf of
the Packard government. Nichols was also
informed that there was a determination to
force on his legislature the election of two
United States Senators in the interest of the
Republican party as the price for yielding up
the state government hence the witness mis-
sien to Washing. IN. He was instructed YER
bally by Governor Nichols to ascertain the
true state of affairs at Washington and keen
him posted He was also - represent to the
PRESIDENT that the of affairsin Louisianaiin the
interest OF the Nichols government, and was
also instructed to confer and act with the man
ayers and representatives of the National

The Republicans will doubtless charge Ms with
violent intentions on Monday and invoke Federal
interference. We proceed by peaceful, Lawful
methods only actively but not forcibly putting in
motion government commanding the moral and

come from the radicals who may seek collision to
secure troops or recognition OF Packard.

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 20.

Priests and people focked to the beach, and
when they saw the strange appearance of the
Englishmen, their white faces, smoke (of the
fragrant weed) issuing from their mouths, and
stlli more when they saw and heard the hre OF
fne guns, doubt was converted into certainty
victims were prepared, and the great navlga-
tor was led to the sacrificial temple, or enclo-
sure OF terraced stones and sacrifice was offered
10 him. Unfortunately disputes which arose
led the natives to believe that Lomo or his fol-
lowers had not forgotten their ancient propen-
stiles, and, having failed, as they thought. to
propitiate him with their sacrifices and cffer-
ings, they resolved to infiict fresh term of
Punishment upon him, and TO drive him again
across tbs seas. As Cook was retreatiDg TO his
boat, under pressure of the angry and mem
acing crowd, one native, more excited than the
rest. pushed him violently, causing pain, which
Cook showed by an exclamation or gesture
They then saw that he was sensible to pain,
and consequently but mortal, and native at
once dealt him a heavy blow with weapon.
he fell, wounded, and was quickly killed, to
their establishment at first, and subsequent
regret" This statement, as will be seen on
comparison, explains some points that were
left doubtful in the narrative of Cooks MEM
orable voyage.
