Crisis Approaching.
New ORLEANS, May 26.-rhe Times
(Democrat) New Iberia special says:
The crisis here ia fast approaching.
The outlook IL ominous. number of
Fontelloaus adherents are marching
about the streets at night, shouting for
their leader and singing Well hang
Judge Gates on sour apple tree" and
firing pistols. The women and chill
dren are terrorized. The only subject
discussed 10 the imminent peril of y
conflict. Fontelleaus adherents main-
tanned an armed garrison at night in
the Court House, and during the day
there is large crowd of his supporters
IN the immediate neighborhood. Judge
Gates is supported by the merchants
and edusat I'd people. who are also pre-
pared for a struggle. They have estab-
li-hsd their arsenal about two SOU ares
from the Court House. and have organ
iz-d a body of men. all we'll armed. A
militia company has also been formed,
Ready at a moments oall.
Judge Fontelleaus stated today that,
Gates would never preside over thi-
court. He said that, even IL the militia
were sent there, il would not alter she
condition of things. Sherif-elect Yea
sew presented his bond t. the Deputy
Clerk of the court, tho Clerk being alb
sent. The deputy said he could rot Ger
tify to the bonds; that it might take
one hour. two hours or two months to
10 IL. Judge Gates's friends then de- |
termined to telegraph the Governor the
situation, so that every step might be
within the law. Troops are asked for
that they might reach here by wednes-
day evening.
Fortelieau's faction Ia In possession
of the Court House. The officers elect
presented TO the actual clerk OF the
Court their bonds, signed bv the hes,
oieizens, and the same were practic ally
refused. They are now waiting for 40
ton by General Percy. of the militia.
Trouble IL expected tonight or tomor
row. The struggle, judging from indi-
cations, will be q hot ole. as the ex
element is very great. There Is bad
blood on both sides.
