THE NEW ORLEANS TROUBLES. NEW Orizsns, Dec. 16.—B. L. Lynch, Re- publican, hss been installed as Judge of the Fourth District Court, Bonner, Fusioniet, being forcibly ejecied. Bonner had a commission from Governor Warmoth. Lynch holds & com- mission from acting Governor Pinchback upon the return of the Bovee Board. In the Federal Court, in the Warmoth con- 1qx:z‘fz case, se\éemll witnesses were examined, *ith no new developments.

Since then I have learned that, by eome arbitrary ruling, snd without any arTant of law, four polls wers throwu out, an 42 that way tho Bovee Returning’ Board made on‘tv that I was n;))t a(l}ected_" ‘AsarvaTox, D, C., Dec. 16.—Attorney Gen- erel Willinms, to-day, mede the fol!owingystnte- ment relative to affairs in Louisiana : Accordin, to the laws of Louisiana, Governor Warmoth, Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, Sec- retary of State Herron, and Messrs. Lynch and Anderson constituted, atthe late election in that State, the Returning Board, with power to can- vass the votes for Presidential Electors, mem- bers of Congress, State oficers, and’ mem- bers of the Legislature. Pinchback and 4ndereon were candidates upon the Republican ticket, and therefore resigned their seats upon the Board, and to fill the vacancies so created Longsfrest and Hawkins were elected by_the remeining members, as provided by law. War- moth then pretended to remove the Becretary of Btate from the office, and_appointed in his place e fellow by the name of Jack Wharton. EV - moth and Wharton then repudiated the elec- tion of Tongstreet nnd Hawkins, and appointed in their places, Hatch and Depont. This Board, 50 constituted, were procecding to canvass the yotes, when, upon due application, their procesdings were per%etunny enjoined by the Judge of the Eighth District State Court, whoso juriediction in the case was mnaues. tioned. - Warmoth, thereupon, forcibly ejected the Judge granting said injunction from his office, and installed in his place before the votes were canvassed, or it was legelly known who was elected, the Demoeratic candidate for Judgeship in thet district, at that election. Proceedings were then had in the Supreme Court of the State, in vhich the validity of this change of Judges was brought in question, and the Court beld it invalid, and in effect decided, that War- moth’s Board of Canvassers was illegal, and its scts void. ese decisions of the Etate Court wera treated by Warmoth with perfect contempt. Suit was commenced on the equity side of the United States District Court, in which an injunction was asked and obtained against the Warmoth Board of Can- rassers, and this injunction was also treated by Warmoth's Board with contempt. Instructions were then given to the Marshal to enforce the erders of this Court, and troops were pleced at service for that purpose. Meanwhile, the of Cauvassers organized tooring to lm Cor e Cmejorty of them canvassed the votes aud returne that the Republican candidates for Presidential Electors and State officers were elected, and that certain persons were elected to the Legis- lsture, Warmoth having called an extracrdidary | session of the Legislature, the persons retirned s elected by the regular Board assembled in ibe State House, and after organization, made a formal- requisition, under Section 4, Article 4 of the Constitution of the United States, upon the President to protect the Btate from domestic violence. Resolutions of impeachment were also preforred by this body egainst Warmoth, and under the Constitation of the Steie the Lieutenant Governor became Acting Governor. ~ Another body assembled at the Lyceum Hall, in New Orleans, claiming to be the Legislature _ of the Btate, and was _recognized by Warmoth. " Two organizations were thus msade, promising nothing to the State but, discord _ snd suarchy. Mot doubting that irregularities had occurred on both sides, but believing that the Republican_ticket had re- ceived & majority of the votes of Louisians, and acting in conformity to the returns of the regu- tar Board of Canvaseors, and decisions of the State and Federal Courts, the President decided to snswer the resolution of the State House Legislature, by recognizing the organization with which it i8 connected as the lawful Govern- ment of the State. New ORLEZNS, Dec. 16.—In the Legislature, this evening, the Senate adopted the following? ‘WEEREAS, Thera s s conflict between the Constita- Eon and 1aws of the State of Louisiana and the act of Congress relative to the electionof United States Benators; and WHEREAS, A Teasonable interpretation of the Con- ional law justifies delay on the part of the Gen- eral Assembly in election of United States Senator un- til the second day after the commencement of the next Tegular session ; therefore, anlved, By the Sepate that it will not proceed to tbe election of United States Senator before the sec- ond Tuesdsy after the ‘orgnization of the regular eeasion of the Legislature in January next, ‘WasEINGTON, Dec. 16.—The Supreme Court of the United States to-day rendered the follow- ing: E:lfirema Court ex parte H.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE. Sale of a Majority of the Stock to William Orton. Whitefaw Reid Resigns the Managing Editorship. HMost of the Editorial Stal Withdraw, New Yorx, Dec. 16,—Fifty-one shares of the capital stock of the 7Tribune Association, con- stituting & majority, were to-day sold to Wm. Orton. "The parties going out besido Mr. Bin- clair and the representatives of the estates of the dead proprietors, are George Ripley, White- law Reid, John Hay, Thomas N, Rooker, Philip Fitzpatrick, Patrick O'Rourke, aod J, C. Ayer. Fach of the old I:rapn‘etom was earnestly requested to retain at east a part of his stock. Messrs, Reid and Hay refused, one selling $40,000 worth, and the other £20,000. Messrs. Ripley, Rooker, Fitz- patrick, and O'Rourke consented to retain barely one share each. Dr. Ayer sold eight of his fourteon shares of the fifty-one shares purchased. It is understood eight are reserved for Schuyler Colfax, who is to be invited to as- sume the editorsbiE. NMr. Reid was requested to remain, but declined, and announced that, immediatly on the making of the sale, b had tendered his resignation ag actin% editor- in-chief to the Becretary of tho Board of Trustecs. Mr. Hay also declined to remain editorially connected, and other resigna- tions from the staff have since been rendered. Mr. Orton then requested Mr. Reid, as & per- sonal favor to remain in charge of the peper for a littlo time, continuing ifs policy un- changed, and he consented to remsin for the present week. It has been for forty-eight hours uncertain to which side the sale would probably be made. The majority of the trustaes, who de- sired to continue the paper on the basis of Mr. Greeley's card with Mr, Ried at its head, needed only eighteen shares of stock fo secure & clear majority. Mr. Reid offered to buy these at $10,000 a share cash, or at & considerablo larger price, but dIr. Sinclair had securod enough of them to prevént him from making up the number, Messrs. Roid & Hay also oftered Mr. Sinclair $350,000 for his own shares and the twelve of the Clark estate which he controlled, and all the other Xrusteos insisted that Mr. Bin- clair was bound uniler the by-laws of the Asso- ciation tosell to thiem before selling at the same prico to an outside party. Sinclair, however, claimed to bs under obligations to others, which he could wnot diechargo save by completing the transaction for fif!y-one shares with Mr. Orton. It is reported inalex-Goyv- ernor E. D. Morgan, ox-Surveyor A. 1. Cornoll, and others of that wing of the Rep.ublican party are to unito with Orton in c2.Tying stock. In the final sale, Mr. Sinclair’ re- tnined three of his shares of _stack, and, it is understood, desires to continuo as ublisher. Thoso siding with Messra. Reid avd 3y were George Ripley, Thomas N. Rooker, Philip Fitzpatrick, Patrick O'Rourke, Olivor Johnson, C. A. Runple, and John F. Cloveland, Mr. Greeley’s brother-in-law, who represented his own stock and part of the Greeley estate, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomg, Dec. 16.—The editor of the Brook- lyn Tnion, who is an intimate friend of Alr. Col- fox, esya in his paper, this even- ing: “It is not yet certain that Mr. Colfax will take the position of editor of the Tribune, to which he has been invited, but it is probable that he will. The obstacle to his ac- coptanco ia not of a pecuniary nature, but one affecting “the future course of the paper. The propristors, or n part of them ot least, desire that the paper shall be continued a8 an independent or neutral journal in politics; but Mr. Colfex is states- man of_positive political princiglos, and with & reputation that he cannof afford to falsify, and he declines to 2ccept a position which would compromise hi beforo the _ public or fetter the exercite of his judgment. His friends, and people who wish well to tho Tribune, will be glad to learn that if Mr. Colfax consents to take the editorship, it will bo on the condition of perfect freedom fo act necording to his judgment and his convictions. On any other terms his editorship would be a deception and a Berious mistake.” It seems, therefore, that Mr. Colfax's terms are absolute editorial control, and itis this point the Zribune stockholders now have under con- sideration.

Fatal Affray Betwecn Two Lottery Dealerss Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, NEW Yomk, Dec. 16.—Another shocking and bloody murder occurred here to-night between two well-known sporting millionaires, named Nicholas R. Duryes and William Simmons. The victim, Duryes, was at the head of nearly all the policy-shops in Brooklyn, and Bimmons is in the same business in this city, with branches in several large Southern cities. About 7 p. m. Duryea went into Simmons’ office, No. 67 Liberty strect, and quarrelled with Sim- mons in relation to the latter's oper- ations in Brooklyn. Simmons & Co. are agents of Shelby College lottery, which Dur- ea's agents claim has been largély swindling rooklynites, Words ram high on this subject, Duryen struck Simmons in the face, and the com- batbegan, which continued through the office, and into the street. When near the curbstone, Bimmons, who was the larger of the two, drew & huge dirk-knife and slashed at Duryea furiously. Three times in quick succession was thoknife plunged into Duryea's throat,oncein the abdomen and onco in the groin. The carotid ar- tery and jugular vein were severed, and Duryen, who was unarmed, sank dead in a_deluge of blood. Simmons was arrested and taken to the _station-houss, a8 tere also the remaing of Duryes on & stretcher. Sim- mons surveyed the corpse coolly, and on enter- ing his cell requested to be furnished with cigars. Both Duryes and BSimmons possessed grent wealth. Duryea is a prominent §ncbmmn.n, though expelled from the New York ‘acht Club, last summer, for sailing his vessel around the wrong buoy, and receiving the stakes therefor. He lLived in great style on Staten Island. Simmons re- sides on Fourteonth street, and is aleo married. He gave his age to-night as 83. Duryea is said to have been formerly & partner of Simmona & Co., and retired_about six weeks ago, the firm owing him $68,000, which has not yet been paid. After he had stabbed Dur- yes, Simmons a!iy]gsd on the blood, and dislo~ cated bis ankle. He was considerably marked up by Duryen's fists. Nzw Yorg, Dec. 16.—At 7 o'clock this even- ing, two men named John Simmons and Nicholas H. Duryes, both well-known ng lottery dealers, engaged in a aeu;fme striggle in front of & restanrant in Liberty street, between Brosdway and Nassau. . Simmons succeeded in throwing hislantagonist, and then drawing a dirk knifo stobbed tho prostrate man repsatedly. IThe principal wound inflicied, which almost in- stantaneously proved fatal, was on the left side of the neck, commencing at the base of the ear, penetrating about four inches, and severing tho Jugular vein and several main arteries. The assassin also stabbed his victim in the groin, inflicting & wound which the doctors say avas alone sufficient to_have caused death. Wit- nesses of the sffray called out ‘‘ murder and pulice,” when Simmons fied, and took refuge in a neighboring saloon, whero an officer subseq1ontly found and arrested him. In get- ting awi vy, tho murderer foll and sprained his ankle, fi ncturing one of the small bones, Sim- mons an.1 the bodyof his victim were afterwards talien to the nearest police station. Simmons refused tomake any stalement when interro- gntud by tk e officer in charge of the police station. ubsequent 1y, his wound was dreseed, and he was. taken to the Park Hospital, where he now re- mains in chatge of two police officers. Duryea was about Su' years of ago, genteel appearaice, slight baild, and lived at Fort Richmond, where ho_leaves a w.ife and two children. Simmons and Duryes wewe both supposed to be very weal- thy.

The tension of immenee labor on his mind and body rendered a sudden break- ing down inevitable. He was o nervous, excita- ble man, and even in the heat of a Presidential campaign felt all the attacks on his character keenly. After the baitle of Bull Run, in 1861, ho told Dr. Bayard _ tha} the country was ruined, like himselr, and that he had been instrumental in bringing woe upon the nation. Ten deys' rest at that poriod, with sedative remedies, brought him round to his usual health. Dr. Bavard believes it was o grave mistake to place Mr. Greeley in 5 mad-house, and that he was never crazy in any degree, but worn out. Dr. Henry Greene, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who had been taken to the Park Hospital on Saturday evening in » dangerous condition, was yesterday reported as hopoless, apoplexy having set in. The dramatic profession in this city, yester- dsy passed appropriate resolutions over the death of Edwin Forrest. "An Alderman of this city states that by the non-payment of rents by varions railroads and other corporations, within tho past fivo years, the municipality has been swindled ont of some $3,000,000. It ig stated than Nathan ABpletnn has com- menced a_suit agsinst the Bowles Bros. for fraud, and General Davis has been appointed o Receiver, the Iatter being now in possossion_of all tho effocts of the late concern in this city. Beveral American fomale school teachers, travelling in Europe, were, it is stated, swindled by Bowles Bros. of all their money. The motion to supply omisgions in the mo- tion to quash the big indictments against Tweed was denied this morning by Judge Ingraham. In the Oyer and Terminer Court to-day, after Bome six or_seven motions in the Tweed case had been denied, Lyman Tremsine, for the progecation, protested sgainst one moment's further delay. Assistant Attorney Sullivin celled up the "defendant to_plead to the big in- dictment, whereupon G: the prisoner's counsel, called for the reading of it, and the Court directed the Clerk to read it. The big in- dictment is aprinted volume of 1,050 pages, which will occupy, itis thought, atleast iwo days in readin% In the Tweed caso & domurrer was made to the indictment on which the prosecution joined issue. The demuwrrer was then overruled. A pie of not guilty was then put in, and vhe trial set down for tho first Mondsy in January. The investigation in regard to the fira in tho Fifth Avenue Hotel was reopened this morning by Fire Marshal John Thompson. The fireman of the hotel testified that he was in bed st the time the alarm of fire was given, and, on hear- ing the screams of thé girls in their rooms, he kicked the wire screen from the win- dow of his room and went to their assistance, tearing off screens from their windows and helping them to the roof. The smoke was very dense at the time. The witness said he was near the room in which the bodies of the girls were subsequontly found, but a3 he heard no alarm from that particalar room he did not think any one was in it, and did not attempt to break tha screen from the windows. No five ‘was near the room at the time, but there was a great quantity of smoke. The testimony of the witnees goes to confirm the opinion of the Firo Marshal, that the girls were suifocated, and not burned to death. . Judge Boardman, of Ithice, will preaido at the ‘trinl of Stokes. i Judge Ingraham denied an informal applice- tion to-day for a stay in the case of James C. King, who shot Ambroze .

ATREN'S THEATRE. In enticipation of & notabls event in the pro- duction of ‘“ Julius Cesar,” with Lawrence Bar- rett as Cassius, a rolein whith he has won en- comiums as marked as any ever bestowed upon an American actor, & large and fine-looking au- dience was present at Aiken's Theatre last even- ing. The expectation wus welk-founded. It was, ond is, and hereafter will be looked back upon, 25 2 notable dramatic event in the anmals of the Chicago stage. That oneof Shakspeare's mightiest tragedies, not frequently enacted any- where, by reason of tho vast labor and expense necessary in its production, and, therefore, al- most as new to theatre-goers of the present day a3 though it were the latest work of some mod- ern ;pleywright, should bo branght out in all its elahorate and uuusual belongings, is a notable eventat anytime and in any place. It wasdeemed worthy of months of careful preparation in the first theatre of America, and its production there was rendered peculiarly noteworthy by the sudden and unoxpected prominence gained by an actor of hitherto modest pretensions and repu- tation, who astonished the greater light whose rays he dimmed so completely, and took the audience by storm. This actor was Lawrence Barrett, whoso advent in Chicago, and appear- ance a8 Cassiusin “Julius Cmsar,” have been looked forward to with great interest by our amusement patrons. That he was the first to develop the role, and to discover in it possibilities which had been usmally over- looked by those who had preceded him in its assumption, is not the least among Mr. Bar- ratt’s elements of renown. It is no difficult mat- ter now, after having had its strong points made plain, to recognize in Cassius one of the most powerful, if not the greatest, charactersin the pley. Itis a distinctive creation, the like of which Shakspeare has not given us elsewhere. More than all others among the stern Roman patriots by which Cmsar was surrounded, he noted and foared grim, uncompromising Cassis, of whom he eaya: Yet, if my nome wero Hable to fear, 1 do ot know the man I should avold Bo soon 28 thatspare Cazsius, Ho reads much, Ho is & great observer, and he looks Quits throngh the decds of men; he loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony ; he hears no music ; Eeldom he smiles ; and smiles in such a sort As if he mocked bimself, and scorned bis spirit That could be mov'd to emile at anything. Buch men as he be never at heart’s easo Wien they behold a greater than themselves § And therefore &re they very dangerots. No ordinary sort of man merited such a de- ecription, or as this, which Cassius gives of him- self: Were X » common lsugher, or did use To stle with ordinery oaths my love To every new protester ; if you know That T do faveh on men, and bug them herd, And after scandsl them; or if you know That T profess mysclf in banqueting To all the rout, then ho!d me dangerous. Truly & man who “looks quite through the deods of men,” for, heving looked throngh Casar, and found in him no kinglier staff than that of which himself was made, he set him down unworthy to rulo Rome, and 80 conspired against him. A shrowd and accurate judge of human naturo, he distrusted Marc Antony, ad- vising his death, and protesting sgainst per- mitting him to deliver the funeral oration. A brave and able General, an “elder” and s ‘“botter” soldier than Brulus, the defects of whose campaign he pointed out, predicting the disaster which soon befel. Cer- tainly no character in this or any other play is worthier of the genius of a fine actor. All the raise that hags been written -and spoken of Mr, arrett's Cassius is more than deserved. He ‘brings to the rolea thoroughearnestness, a virilo intesity and vigor, 2 nervous, fiery impetuosity which go to make up the very last de- groe of dramatic power and effect. Individ- uality i8 sunk out of sight. It is not Barrott, but Cassius, that fills the eye. So true is this that at times the most electric bursts of magnetism fail to brizg hearty applause, be- cause the beholder forgets that it is acting which he secs, and o neglects to applaud tle actor. The biting irony of his opening enalysis of Cesar's character ; his eager incitement of Bru- tus to tho conspire’y; his gathering impatience and rage, all pictared without a word of speech, which bursts forth in fearful fury at Anfony's wailing over the corpse of Casar’; the picturs of mingled lore, and grief, and wounded pride, and insulted honor 1n the quarrel scene with Brutus, ctiminating in thet splendid spasm of agony: *Thero is my dagger, nndflgem my naked breast I and then bis melting sorrow at the news of DPortia’s _death—these are amongy the more rilliant ems of the 7rare rendition. In breadth and viger, in consistency and_povwer, it is an imper- sonition well worthy of the warm commendstion of »great critic, who said of it that * since the du's of Charles Kemble, considered the greatest mdern Cassius, no such representative of the @t has been seen upon the English or Amer- iom stage.” Concerning the splendid manner ix which *Julius Crsar is put upon the stage, mdof the support by the company, we shall ‘peak at longth hereaftor. 3'VICEER'S TEEATRE. : Miss Coombs commenced the third week of Fher an%agement at McVicker’s Theatrelast even- ingin *“The Lady of Lyons,” gl;ging to a not very full house—not 80 full, indeed, as tho mer- its 0! the piece as played last evening deserved. The ‘play, which has not been put on the stage in_ this city since Fechter Jlaed Claute Belnotte in tho same theatre nearly two years ago, is familiar to every theatn-goer, and one that has generally suc- ceeddl in gaining tho appreciation of lurgo sudieices. §iise oombs, in_her impersonation of Puline, did much toward raising her in the opinia ‘of s Chicago audience, which her offorti during the earlier part of her 'mgagement loft undone. Especially did sh appear to advantage in the third scf, wherupbraiding Claude for his deception. Her partdg with Claude, too, was an_opportunity of thich sho made the best. So pleased were theaudience that at the end of both acts called before the curtain. Mr. Oveill as Claude sppeared to greater adantage then ho has done for some time, both adhe peasant and the Prince, He played with mre care and more real feeling Iast evening thn usual, and the sudionce, not the gallery, reognized it, retaining their manifestations of pproval till after the curtain fell. 3rs, Post as ne Widow Melnotle exhibited two or three ouches .of nature that found an echo n many unsophisticated hearts, but she ‘occasionally relapsed into unmeaning gestures. BMr. Lanagan was, o8 usual, excellent. His figure and mannor are especially adapted to the role of Colonel Dumas, and he played the part with spirit. His *business,” too, shows study. Mr. Power, as Beauseant, had something to do, but was apparently unconscious of the fact. He was one of the imperfections in tho presen- tation of the piece which marred it. Another was Mr. Grey, as JDeschapelles. Mr. Berron, as Glavis, for some occult purpose wore & single eye-glass, and Mrs. Stoneall pro- nounced ‘“Monsieur” as ‘‘Mooacer.” With these trifling exceptions, the *Lady of Lyons” needs nothing to commend it to the public, for it incertainly better acted throughout than' has been the case for a loag tims in this city—ith the ei~eption above alluded to. The scenery ia gocd thrm;?auc, and especially €0 in the second ok, in which the garden is charming. HOOLEY'S OPERA HOUSE. The much-talked-of play called “Fun,” was ‘brought out at Hooley's, for the first time, last evenngy to 2 good house, the risibles of which werekept in motion during a great part of the evenirg by tho. mlr{h—provniin dislogma with yhich the would e dificult o de Dot a conedy, a8 Spi noran exravaganzs, bul Detween the three. Itis & fivé-act farce, with very little plot, and that the ¢mé of absardity. An intending bridegroom inadvertently destroys & Jady's bonnst en the morning of fls intended marriage, and spends the day snd might in hanting “all over erestion for the fellow to that bonnet, being followed closely by hig would-be bride, her father, cousin, and the rest of the wedding , who all land at last in the station house. é the bewildered bridegrootn, Dillon has an admirzble opportunis ty o act John Dillon, which he_fthproves to the utmost, in a way that is famifiar all stage-goers. But Dillon drawe, and Padget, Blaisdell, and the rest have little to do except to act as foils to his folly. While there ia nothing in tho piece itself, or in ita Tepresentation, that calls for either serious criticism or hearty commendation, it is yet & taking one, and we shonld not wonder if it would Tun as Jong a8 in Philadelphis, where it was re- contly kepE on the boards for threo weeks. Tha people like to laugh, and they have here an op- portunity for doing so. e MISCELLANEOUS CITY ITEMS. Box No. 265 was turned in at-4 o'clock yester- day afternoon for & fire fu the dwolling of B. 0. Anderson, No. 263 Hubbard street. About $200 damage was_done; insured for $1,000 in the Firemen's Mutuzl. Cause—a defective chim-~ ney. An incipient fire was started in the Adams House, abont 11 o’clock last n.i%ht, owing to the carelessness of the occupant of Room 50, who upeet a lighted lamp upon-the bed. The blaze was extinguished by the waiters before any ma~ terial damagoe had been done. A enter named A. R. Howes is missing, His father, who lived in Michigan, died a short time ago, and Howes and his wife went to that State to get their portion of the eatate. es’ share was 1,500 in cash, which he brought with him to Chicago, arriving here last Thursday. He left his wife at the house of a Mr. Kelley, No. 95 Aberdeen street, and, on the morning of the day mentioned, went to the Michigan Central flgm& to get, his trunks. 8ince en uothing has been heard of him. He is described ag about 30 years of sage, 5 feet 10 inches in height, with light complexion, blue eyes, brown hair, black mustache, and goatee, and was dressed in black pants, with stripe on the sides, dark blue overcoat, and cloth cap, with a velvet band around it. His wife Lhm.&s he bas been murdered for the $1,500, but the police, who have been looking for him, are in- Clinod to the belief that he has left the city, and purposely deserted Mrs, Howes. Policeman Hickey, of the Sixth Precinct, was roughly handled last evening by a party of row- dies, but escaped serions injury. = He ar- rested on Milwaukee avenue for W‘{fi drun] and & girl who was with the young man ran into the saloon No. 55 Milwaukes avenue, and cried ont for assistance, Fifteen or twenty boys and men rushed into the street, and, observing the officer and prisoner, attacked the former and lmocked him down. Hickey was almost disrobed; but he retained his hold of the man under arrest. Had it not been for the assistance of a Mr. 2Mounds, he would probably have been murdered. Mounds received sev: bruises during the melee, but aided Hicke%hin taking the prisoner to the station honse. 0 officer was kicked in the side several times, and could breathe with diticulty. He, howover, returned to the locality and nappmhenaad another of the roughs, and locked him up elso.
