THE ANNUAL MEETING of the Stockholders of the The loans, secured by first mortgages of real estate, worth more than twice the face of the loans, amount to $3,119,662, a sum g?lq_;:idembly in excess of its total policy lia- ity. - - All of the a@sets are solid and available, and nearly all interost produocing. ‘The surplus $1,425,188 is entirely for the security of policyholders, being additional to the reinsurance fund, which alone affords ample protection. ? " During the last year the Company has paid to ropresontatives of deceased policyholders §$279,061, and for surrendered policies $337,- 104, has paid a dividend upon its stock, has met the expenses, and now has a surplus of £1,425,198, an inarease of $170,794 over the surplus at the beginning of the year. ‘The low rates, the large capital, the defi- nitd contracts, and the liberal policies of the NATIONAT, render it espocially worthy the confidence and patronsge of the public.

I aleo know of the kid- napping by baaditti of Mr. . Cousin, one of the members-elect of the Legislatare. In order to preserve tho peace and make the Biate-House gafe for the peaceable assembling of the Legis- lature, Gen. Emory, upon the requisition of the Governor, stationed troops in the vicinity of the building. Owing to these precautions, the Leg- islature assembled in the Etate-Houmse without any disturbanoe of the pesce. At 10 o'clock ‘Willism Vigers, Clerk of tho last House of Repre- sentatives, proceaded to call the roll, as accord- ing to law he was empowered to do. One hun- dred and two legally-returned membersanswered to their names. Of this number fifiy-two were Ropublioshs, and fifty Democrata. _Bofore enteriug the House, I. A. Wiltz had been selected in cancus 25 Democratic nominee for Spéaker, and Michael Hahn as the Repub- licsn nominee. Vigers had not - finished an- nouncing the result when.one of the members, Billen, of Lafourche, nominated L. A. Wiltz for temporary Speaker. Vigers promptly declared tho motion out of order st that time, when some one put the question, and amid cheera on the Democratic side of the House, Wiltz dashed on the rostrum, pushed sside Vigers, seized the Bpeaker's chair and gavel, and doolared him- self Spenker. A protest sgainst this arbitrary and unlawfol proceeding was promptly made by members of the majority; but Wiltz gave no sttention to tho protests, and on a motion from some ome on the Democratic side of the Houss, it was declared thot one Trezevant was nominated and elected Clerk of the House, Trezevant at once sprang forward and occupicd the Clerk's chair omidst the wildest confusion over the whole House. Mayor Wiltz then again; on another nomivation from the Democratic side of the | House declared one Flood elected Sergeant-at- Armg, snd ordered o certain number of assist- ants to be appointed. Tustantly a large number of men throughout the hall, who had been admitted on various pre- toxts, such as reporters, and members, friends snd spectators, turned down the lapals of their coats, mpon which wers pinned bine ribbon Dbadgos, on which were printed in gold the words, ¢ Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms,” and the Assom- bly was in the possession of the minority, and tho White League of Louisiaps had made ood its threat of seizing the House, any of tho assistant Sergeants-at-Arms being woll known as Captains - of the White League companies in this city. Notwith- standing_‘the suddenness of this movement, leading Republican members Lad not failed to protest again and again_against this revolution- ary action of the minority ; but sll to no pur- pose, and many of the Republicans rose and left the House1n & body, together with Clerk Vigers, who carried with him the original roll of the House, a8 returnzd by the Becretary of State. The excitement Ws8 now very great, and the acting Speaker directed tho Bergeant-at-Arms to provent the egress or ingress of members or others, and several exciting scuffles, in which XLnives and pistols were drawn, took place. For a few momenta it séemed a8 if b]oo(fihed wonld | ensuo. At this juncture, AL Dapre, Democratic member from Ortlosns Parish, moved that tho | military of the General Government bo invoked 1o presere the peace, and that a committee be appointed to wait on Gen. De Trobriand, com- manding officer of the United Btates troops sta- | tioned iat the State-House, and request his as- sistance n clearing the lobby. The motion wne adopted. A commuttes of five, of which Dupre was made Chairman, waa scut to wait upon Gen. De Trobriand, and soon returned with that offi- cer, who was accompanied by one of his staff 1] the Democratic side of the House. Gen. Dé Tro- Driand asked tho Acting Speaker if it was mot poesible for bim to preserve order_withont ap- pealing to him {0 preserveorder asa United States army oficer. Witz said i was not ; whereupon tho General proceeded to the lobby, and, address- ing a few words to the excited crowd, peace Was . restorad at once. On motion of Dapre, Mr. Wiltz, in the name of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, thanked Gen. De Trobri- 2nd for his interference in behalf of law and ar- der, and tho Geccral withdrew. The Rapublic- ans bad now generally withdrawn from the hall, and wikted in aignipg & petition to the Governar, | stating their griovances, and asking his aid, which petition, signed by fifiy-wo legally re- turoed members of the House, is in my possesgion. Immediately subsequent to tho action of Wiltz in.; ojpcting the . Olerk of .the old House, . fii]h’en moved that thoe following persotjss be. sworn in snd ‘seated a8 members : Aessrei Johm A. Quinn, of the Parish of Avayelloo; J.-J. Horan, A. D, Land, and Thomas R. Yaughan, of the Bariah of Caddo; J. Jeflries, R.' L. Luckett, and G. W. Stafford, of the Parish of: Rspidea’; and William T. Sthwing, of the Pamish of Iberia, who had not been relurned by the Retarning Board, and the; werpaccordingly sworn in, by Wiltz, and_took their seats on tho floor as merbors of ihe House, A motion was now made that tha Housa proc with its permanent organization, and according- Iy the roll was called by Trozivant, Acting Clork, and Wiliz was declared Spealer, and Trezivaot Glzr:li_ol the .Eouse. 5 ing on the protest msds by the majority of the House, the Governor mow requested the commanding General of the Department to id him in restoring order and enable the legally re- turned members of the Houss to proceed with its organization according to law. This requost was reasoupble, and in accordance with law. Ra- membering, vividly, the terrible massacro that took place 1n this city on the assembling of the Cozstitutional Convention in 1366, at Mechanics’ Tostitute, and believing that the lives of mem- bers of the Legisiature were, or would bs, cn- dangered in case sn organization undar the law way sttempted, the posse was furnizhed, with the request that “care ehould be taken tiat no member of the Legislaturo returned by the . Retarning ~ Board should be ejected from tho floor. This mililary posse performed its duty undor directions from the Governor of the State, and removed from the floor of the Houso those ous who had been itlegally seated, and who had no legal right to be there, whereupon the Democrata rose and left the House, and the remaluing members proceeded to effect an organization under she State laws. [n all the turmoil, in which blood- slied was imminent, the mimn“l;y posse bebayed with great discretion. . When Wiltz, the usurp-| ing Bpeager ‘of the Houso, called for troops to ‘prevent bl ed, they were given him. When the Governor of the State called for a posee for the same purpose, aud to enforce the law, it was furpished alsp. Had this nob been done, itis my firm belief that scenes of blocdshed would have ensued. (Signed) _ P. H.SHERImAN, Lisutenant-Ganeral. GONFIRMATORY.

BSpecial Digpetch to The Cheago Tribune. - New Orreans, La., Jan. 9.—Tuz TRIBUNE | répresentative this ovening visiféd Gen. Sheri- ‘dan, who stated that when he came to this city be found a very peculiar state of affairs. He found o secret organization here eo powerful that there seemed no one ablo to ¢ops with it. The Rtate Government was not strong enough o meet it, and the fear of ostracism and loss of basiness was go great that merchants and busi- ness men not only did not dare attackit, but, when it was nttacked, appeated as it defenders. Murder for political reasouns was considered no crime., This organization was 80 strong that it sppeared os if the people had got used toit, and there seemed to be no effort to counteract its dangerous influence. Eitber from fear of person- alinjury orloss of trade, or eocisl ostraciem, eoplo avoided coming in contact with this Whita eegue. The Genernl states that he HAS NO PEARS OF PARSONAL INJURY, . and speial ostracism has no tarrors for him,. sad. He hag no trade to lose, and he bolieves himself tobe the proper person to wrestle with the White Lesgoe. 1o short, he has mado up his mind to break it up. He belioves its existence a menece to the peace of this State andto that of the country, and it shonld not be tolerated. Tow the General is going to work at it he aid not explain, but, although his demeanor was very quiet, he was unmistakably in earnest. Tt is probable the Genoral rolies on legislation by Congress to give him anthority to go to work. 5 —_—— NEW ORLEANS NOTES. JUDGE DIBELE'S LETTER, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tributie; New Orceaxs, Jan. 9.—The letter of. Judge Dibble, Aesistant Attorney-General, sent you 1ast mght, has been the subject of no little com- ment to-day. The general opigion is tha} Dibble hes put his foot in {t. He wrote his letter and published it without consulting Gov. Eellogg, or any other of the loading Republicans, except pérhdps Congressman Morey, who, it is said, has left for Washington with a bill in hia pocket designed to carry out tho line of policy fore- ghadowed in Judge Dibble's letter. In conver- gation with Gov. Kellogg this morning, he stated to Tae TRIBUNE correspondent that his views wore diametrically opposed to those expressed by Judge Dibble regarding the status of ‘the Btate Government. The Governor this moming received 4 dise atol from Atty.-Gen. Field, st present in YV ington, asking whether he (Gov. Keflo{g) indorsed Judge Dibble's letter. In reply the Governor emphatically denied holding the views expressed by the Judge, and stated that it was pxnglished wilhout conaultation with him or other lending Republicans. It did not appear in the R lican this morning, but wa# %nb- lished in the Democratio city pspers. Mr. Dib- ble is a very young man, but has held important positions in the State for years, and at the last election wes s candidate for Cnnfiress. in the Second District, and was defeated. It is'thought he wounld like totryit over agmain, but from presont appearances’ it is donbtfal ‘whether hp would have the opportunity, evenif the Statu were to_be entirely reconstracted.
