NER PERIODICAL UNPLEASANTNESS, Epecial Dispatch éo The Tridune NeEw OnLeass, Jan, 8.—~The day bas been an exciting one, but has thus far been unmarked by bloodshed. This morning armed men were scen hurrying from every direction to Lafayette Bquare, which fronts Odd-Fellows' Hall, the headquarters of the Nicholls Government, By 10 o'clock the square was nearly filled with mill- tary organizations, which are denominated by the Democratic papers as the State militla, but which were tulinerly the White League, Thelr officers arc the same as when they turned out to overthrow the Kellogg Government. in 1874, The enly force to oppore them s the Metropolitsn police, numbering all told about 400 men, There is no State militla. The Nicholls troops were well armed with various styles of wezpuns,—Henry, Winchester, and Svriugficla rifles, carbines, shot-guns, cte. Their first movenient was down to THE COURT-NIOUAY. BUILDING, of which they easily took possession, as there was no force to oppussthem. The station- houses of tha police were descrted, as the Metro- politan police had heen marched Into the State- House; consequently they also fell into the hands of tho White-League. They then formed about the State-House, ana surrounded the block on which ¢ 1« located, but did not attempt to force anen- trance. They remalned about the buflding all the afternoon and up to this time. 1t is com- pletely onvironed, though about 7 o'clock the White-Luague troups were withdrawn and Mr. Nicholls’ pulice substituted. No one is allowed togoin or out of the huilding, and there {s talk of BTARVING TUE INMATES OUT. ‘Ine Tnisuse correapondent succecded In so- curlng ndmission to the bullding this evening. There are inside Gov, Packard and his stafl, ex- (iov. Kellogg, something less than s quorum of each branch of the Legislature, and about 200 Metropolitan policemen. Gov, Packard was as cool a8 cucumber, quictly smoking a cigarin hisoflee. Ilosald that the Statc-louse was not golng to be taken without a fight. TUE STATE-LQUSE 13 COMPLETELY ENVIRONED, and the only means of communication with the outside world is by signal {from the Statc-House tothe Cuatom-Houscand the United States vesscls In the river, The Democrats bad suc- ceeded In prevonting a quornns in _cach branch of the Legialature, which fact might endaunger tho clection uf the United Btatea Scnators. The Governor sald hic thought he should try and go home by-and-by, and got a night's sleep. The buflding {a heavily barrlcaded foside, and the Metropolitans are well srmed with Winchea- ter rlflos, which are latd out in tho rooms on tables, ready for fminedinto use. Each House of the Legislature, owlng Lo the fact that uo quorum was present in elther, bas been TAKING A BECESS FROM TIME TO TIMK during tho day and uight, sod had not wljourned at a lote hour. Some of the legislators cntertalued the {dea that Warmoth and Plochback were mstrumental in preventlug a quorum, iIn order to nesist thelr Senatorfal uspirations, and in o caucus to-auy fL was declled to support Attor- uoy-General Willlam §I. Hunt for the short term and Gov, Kellogg for the long term, Mr. Hunt is a native Bouthern an, and stands at the head of the Bur In this State, Ovwing to the fact that no quorum was pres- ent this decision was nol carried out, aud & chango maoy be nade, Geo, W. L, McMillan is also a candldate. Heo was vlected by the McEnery Legislature, In 1672, and was Pinchback’s coutestant. ‘Tha clty Is perfectly qulet to-night, the streets belog polleed by the Nicholls foree. It s be- lieved the struggle will bo renewed to-morrow. A WORD ¥IOM GEN. ALGUR. New OnLEang, Jan, 8—11:55 p. n..—The site uation up to this hovr I8 unchanged. United Btates Marahal Pitkin made represcntations to Gen, Augur thyt his Deputy Marshals were pre- veuted from performing thelr duty by persons calling themsetves Nicholl’s police. Gen. Augur sent an aid to Ucen. Nicholls and {nformed Uim that that business vould uot bo sllowed. Gen. Nicholls immediately ordered that anybody who chose should Lo sllowed to pass on the streets leading to and from the State-House, vonsequently the *starving- out” paoliy will have to be sbandoued. Tho Btate-House is a bad bulldiug to defend, and s badoue to attack. 1t was tho old Bt. Louls Hotel, nod stands fush to the strect onthres sldes. A wido gallury exterds onthe baugquette outho 6t. Louls street front. Theonly door open {s that on Royal street. It might be taken by scaling this gallery withladders, and breaking through the windows of the ball of the House of Representatives. Gov. Packsrd wiil makes ‘vigorous defense. A TALK WITH PACKARD. In bis conversation with Tax TRBUNE corrg~ spondent to-night, the Governor sgid in n Joking way that the Legisiature tatked of elect- Ing him Benator. I inquired If he were scrious. He replied, * Oh, no; I believe § had rather re- moain here. I think I would llke to try con- cluafons with Gen. Nicholls, anyway." Gov. Packard s a man of pluck and nerve, and it he pulls through thia time lic will be very likely to put the National Government to small trouble to malntain him hereafter. e has now only a force of about 200 men to contend with 5,000, but he will makeo s flght, even st these odds, before he gives up, 1o regard to THE SUFREME COUNT it may be eald that Gen. Nicholls would have no right to appolnt but two of the Bupreme Judges, even {f Lie were Governor; whereas he bus appointed a full beneh, The term Is for elght ycars, and expired some months ago, Tho Constitutlon provides that they shall hold over until thelr successors are appointed. Gov. Kellogg appofated three of these Judoes last week, and conscquently there were but two for the new Governor Lo appolnt. The same rule apolles to the Board of Metropolitan Pollee and patrolmen. These acts of Gen. Nicholls are tlearly OUTSIDE O Ii13 POWER even It lie were Gosernor. Gov. Vackard will probably have to reccive the recognition of Cougress or the President before he can place himsclf firmly, but as hiz claim ns Governor rests on Lhe same as thut of Gov. Hayes for President, it fs reasonabic to suppose e will recelve that reengnition. THE DEMOCHATIC LEGISLATURE, with & quorum {3 both HHouscs, voted for United Statea Benator. . B. Eustlce received a majority of the votes cast for the tenn ending 1872 No chiofee for the long tesm. Judge Arthur 8aucter, of the Bixth District, died yesterday.

Armed men are reporting to thie Bheriff, whose purpose, It §s stated, i to take posscssion of the Supreme Court tuon, now {n charge of the Metropolitan Pollee, and inatall Nicholls’ newly-appolnted Judges of the Bupreme Court. It {s more than possible that an atterapt will be made to capture thic pollee stations also. An advertisement appears this morning ordering the members of Washing- ton Artillery 10 assemble v the armory at 10 o'clock. TIIRD DISPATCH, 10:30 a. m.—~Armed men are still nurrying through the streets to Lafayette 8quure, where they report to the Sheriff, who, it Is stated, will move them at 11 to the Supreme Court hullding, facing Jackson Bquare, and endeavor to take possession of it. Chicf~lustice Ludeling i3 there on the bench, and Capt. Gray, of the Metro- politan Police, with a strong force, is in posscs- sion of the building, under ordera of the Chict Justice. It is stated that the Chief Justice will remove the present Sherlfl §f lio attempts to take the building by forec, and sppolut another Bheriff. Gov, Packard Is at the Btate-llouse, cool and calm. He haa telegraphed Prestdent Grant, asking for assfatance. V'hile the men under arma disavow any intention of provoking = col- lision, & drunken man or Irresponsible boy, or an accldental shiot, may bring on & riot surpass- ing those of 13 or 1874, Gov. Nicholls is at St. F'atrick’s Hatll. FOURTI DISPATCH, 11 a. m.~Bodlea of armed inen are moving in different directions from Lafuyette Squure, About 500 are passing dowu 5t. Charles street, and arc supposed to be moving for the Bupremo Court. Othiers are marching south and west, FIPTI DISPATCIL At 11:45 a demand was made for tho Third Precinet Station-Tlouse, in the Bupreme Court tullding, sud refused. About 10,000 persons are assembled around Javkaonu Square, and the excltement s Intense, A Targu body of armed men are on the levee side of the square, Gov, Packarl reports the Metropolitan telegraph wirea cut, and he haa established communieation with the United States shal, Pitkin, at the Custom-House, by means of the Unlted States Bignal Corps. The Metropolitans at the State- House aro belng armed with Springfleld riftes. Tho shops In the French quarter aro all abut, ‘The United States troops ot tho Orleans Hotel, two blocks away, are watehing the crowd at the square, but are not undez arms. Tha excitement Increascs with cvery new movement, and tho situation I8 exceedingly eritical. Larenr.—It Is just reported that the First and Third Police Stations have surrendered to the Democrats. i SIXTH D{APATCIN At 11:50 Nicholls’ mikitia took posrcsslon of the Supreme Court buflding, and fustalled thelr Judges. Al the police stations are in posscs- slon of the Nicholls Government, Not & gun has been fired. SEVENTH DISPATCH. The Picayune extra, frsued at noon, says of the asscubling of armed bodles his morning: 4 Few were aware that a Jega) Stato militla had been organized aud armed for the exccution of orders of the Governor, and that these men on the strects were there {n obedience to their call aathe Btate mllitia. Gen. Ogden was In com- mand, and be was assisted by Gens, Behan and Vaudry, Col. B. D Penn was in control of the Adjutsut-General's Department, The artillery was being organlzed at St Mary's Murket. They bad two tleld-pleces, and at 11 o'%clock propared to move down to Lafay- ette 8quare. The purpose of this movement was to sec that the legal Supreme Court should be permitted to tuko fts ecat, Jt was s noto- rlous fact, revealed by the military commander ou the Republican slde, that the Court would not he atlowed to sit, and the wikitia was called out to see that no bady or power should tuter- fere with it. It is the Inteution of the military, under orders of the communder-in-chlef, to had the Court over to the logul Justices, aud ou this {saue ls made. AT 12 0'oLOCK it was sppoluted by the militia to march down to Jackson Square. This place 3 defended by 200 or 300 policenien and & battery of seven or cight guua. The Staie-lHouse is” defended by sbout 1,200 me, mmu{ uegrues, A new police force Is belug thuroughly orzan- fzed. It is very probable that the inllitis will this evening havd them over to the regular sta- tions, 4 . A reporter of the Pleayune this morming vis- fted Gen.

THR RIGNTS AXD WHONGS OF THE LOUISIANA CASE. &pecial Dispach to The Triduse. Washuxoron, D. L., Jan. 9.—Scnator Sher- man's able remarks upon the Loniafana electlon this alternoon commanded the attention of the Benate, for it was known that lie had personally examined the subject, and that his statements were not based upon the testiinony of others, He proved conclusively that thers was intimi- datlon, fraud, violence, and murder comnmitted, and that the cntire election was tainted with force and wrong. But he also demonstroted that the laws of the State of Loulslana pro- vided a reniedy for this abuse of the ballot-box, by creating & Returning Board, which had & right to expurgate from the returns of the State results attained in certaln parishes by fraud and violence. Count these rajected votes, secured by terrur and violeuce, and the President thus elected will vome Into power with his robes stalned with THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT VICTIMS. Mr. §hermmn was evldently deeply impressed while In Louisiana by what he saw there, und he spoke ®ith great eerncstuess, making a strong fmpresslon upou all of his hearers exvept those wio hiad determined to think otherwlse. Among these was Scnator Bugy, who would faln make it appear that aflulrs in Loulsiana arc altogether lovely, and that Gov, Kellogz was the {nstigator of nesrly all of the troubles there, but be cuuld not apswer Benator Nhermau's plain stotemeuts and convinclug truths. THE DEGATE. To the Western Avnctated Prese. Wasmyoros, D. C, Jun. 9.~In the Senate this morning consideration of the resolutions submitted by Mr, Wallnce yeaterday, in regard to the count of the Electoral vote, was resumed, and Mr. Bherman apoke at length In regand to Loulsiana, clatmivg that the evidence before the Returning Board n thut State justified the Board {n throwing out the returns from certain polling places, on aceount of the violeuee and intimidstion which prevalled. Mr. Sherman sald the Flestors of Louislana haod met and recordest their vote for Gov. Hayes for President, and Mr. Wheeler for Viee-Prest- dent, Their vote waos duly suthentivated snd delivered to the President of the Scnate, and was entltled to credit. He argued that Iages and Whecler were lezally entitied to the vote of Loulainna for President and Viee-President. 1f Gov. Hayes had heen returned as elected wronzfully, he 8ould eaiv 1o honor from kich a blgh otlice as that o President. It was known that Gov. Hayes HAD NOT STRUQGLED FOR OPPICE, neither had he purchased it yet i€ it had heen conterred npon him fo pursuanee of the Consti- tutioi, he would exercise his power. He was not 10 be tricked out of the olfice. He (Mr. Sher- man) would accept any blan for o falre and honeat count of the vote, aud felt sure that g:uv. Hayes rightfully recelved the vote of the tate, e then read from the Iaw of Louislan, pasred In 1872, requiring the Returning Boand 1o throw out votes from prechicts or parlshes whero the eloctlon was carrie d by fraud or vio- lence, and srzued that there was not one seran of cyidence 1o aliow that the Returning Board acted in disregurd of the rights of others. Wealth, social influenze, the rcrmnul sufety of members of the Boanl, all had a tendeney to make the Board decide in favor of the Demo- cratle party. There was nothing to lead the members of the Board todezide in favor of tue Repuoliean Electors except TUR PLATN SIANDATES OF LAY, He referred to the testimony before the Re- turning Board, and rafd siich seenes o violence 83 were depicted by many of thrse witnessss conld not oceir in any one ol the Northern ftates withont bringlue - about | whole- sale bloodshed aml atrife. The law was pertectly clear that, df these returning officers felt that there had been in- thmidation sulllcdent to deter inen from voting a8 they desired 1o, they were in duty bound 10 throw’out the vote of precincts whero such fn- timidatlun wiss practiced. Mr, Sherman then guoted st ereat lenzth mony of Llcut,-Col.

He waos amazed at the apeech of the Benutor from Qo (Shermun),—a speech that wus ncompre- hensiole. If the facts related by the Benator fruta Objo were true, it the suclal condition of Loulslans was as represcnted by hi, then thy couutry had retrogruded buck to the durkest ages of barbarisw. 1 the peoplo of Loulsiana were murdercrs ond assassivs, it was not vuly o disgrrace to the people of thut Stute, but a dis- grace to the whole npatlon, The teatimony quoted by tha Scoutor frum Ohlo conslited of ullldavits takeu in_Now Orlesns long wfter tbe election.
