NEW ORLEANS, Jan, 6, 1872. _ The excitement which began to manifest itself @n Monday morning grew more threatening as the @ay advanced. Tne daring and vloody work of Wmehback on the same night, and the report on the streets, circulating the fact tha: Warmoutn had Made offera of alliance, oifcnsive and defensive, with the democratic mauayers, awakened public apprehension as to the condition of things likely to fellow. Tuesday morning, the second day of the Bession, revealed symptoms still more alarming, @n the discovery that the proposal made to the @emocracy through Hugh J, Campbell was so properly and fearlealy denied, and as containing a Glanse which was still more expressive and deflant— wis., that the terms of coalition could only be ace @epted on the condition that Warmoth would re- @ign. Tuesday morning, at an early hour, dense Growds of poopie gathered on. Dryades street, in front of the State Huuse, discussing the bloody ‘Work and cowardly conduct of Pinchback and his grew the nignt before, It was manifest to all that Abe day would reveat something neither creditable ‘fo tho State nor the corrupt gang who control it, Large bodies of police in citizeus’ dress filled every avenue to the House, Orders were most @mphatically given by Speaker Carter, who also @epounced the evil intentions of the Warmoth Faction, demanding the removal of the police alto- gether from the buliding.

They were all arnied, and compelied to elbow their way through tne dense crowd that filled the staircase and hall, A long line of police, two deep, were ranged on eitner side of the entrance to the House, and it was questionable for some time if even we reporters would be admitied, ive hun. dred police at this time were scattered around. Just as the House was bemg caliod to order a joud altercation took place between Bome excited Individual and the police, to whom they haq retuscd admittance. Those who were posted as to the condition of aifairs had made up their minds fo an-instant that this was the prelude to @ general melée. It is sate to iti hows ever, that there were hundreds In the hall, along the staircaye and in the street who gould perer lieve that they were in great dan: of their liv. Every one watched tne struggle at the door. There was io violence resorted to, but soon it Was an- nounced vo the Chair that the Sergeant-at-Arme had been refused admittance, when that caustic indi- vidual in thundering tones again denounced the Governor for his 1ntamous policy by endeavoring to Hpeendate the Assembly and create @ riot among 10 people. ENDING FOR UNITED STATES TROOPS, pioseen gers were immediately despatched by Speaker Carter for a sufficient number of United States troops as would ocmoreally preserve the peace and control the police, The mowent was decidedly a@ critical one. ‘Ihe Speaker’s room at the back of the Cnair was filled wita willing and hopeiul irtends, who were ready at a moment’s ‘Warning toact.

The machinatious of Valmaseda's enemies, who are comprised in the ultra-radical wing of the Spanish party in Cuba—those who believe in the oid regime of slave dealing and kindrea occupations— are singing victory, asserting that the order for the relief of the Count has come from Madrid. This order, Itke all ocher disagreeable news, has not, of course, been made public, but is known only to the few. It is well authenticated that for a long time past there has been a contrariety of opinions, a division among those who are among the magnates and governors of this island. One party, who wishes frat to subdue the insurrection with seme attention and propriety for the rules of civilization, and carry the country forward in the path of pro- gress and reform Initiated py the revolu- tion of September, 1868, in Spain, and in accordance with the ideas of the age, aud the ovher, the tories of the isiand, who preler ‘o have tuings aa they were velore—and, although desirous of pul- ting down the insurrection, yet are reckless ag to the means they take for that pnr,ose. Yaimaseda has obtained the position he expected and schemed to obtain when General Kodas was first appointed. The Integues by his party fur his advancement were on for along time, aud now he 1s not 80 1 to resign the power which he obtamed with sO much «diMculty. As soon as the teie- ram was received advising him of his pro- bie relief, and that his snecessor would ve General Concha, he determined to make a stroggle to retain his office, called before him his friends. and parligags, apd set forth the many alificuives that the cause of Spain would encounter in @ change of commanders, plans, &¢.; that his janol campaign for the winter was perfected, ali ‘ne details well studied, and if allowed to carry It through he would assure the termination of the in- surrecuon and pacification of the island within six months, and advised his friends to take measures to communicate with the nome government to that effect: and In order that there should not ap- ar to have been any undae influence or inter. erence on the parvof the authorities for that pur- pose he proposed that a committee should cross over to Key West, and from thenve communicate by. telegraph with Spain tor the dosired purpose. Vaimaseda has just much of his prestige even among his most ardent admirers of former times, He isnot now Neg np vi “hss scpabea In the inistra ti agairs here he bas made every oe nite nthe Ait course Which made him go popular while in active operations against the insurgents, but has not been successiul, EXROUTIVE POWER. The position of Captain General of Cuba, while nominally that of a govergor of a province, is really that of Viceroy, with almost unlimited powers. He can make and unmake laws, and at bis dis- cretion—as has olten occurred—fail to put into exe- cution the laws made for his government. Valma- seda knows all this, has had a large and long e: perience of the island, and will “stick” as long as possible. CONCHA’S PUBLIC CARRER. General Jose Gutierrez de la Concha, Marquis of Havana, Valmaseda’s provable sticcessor, has already been Captain General of Cuba for two terms—the first from 1860 to 1862, at the ume of Lopez's expeditions, which ended so disastrously for that brave leader, and again from 1554 to 1369, After his first term he was created Marquis of ha- vana, and, after his second, Duke de la Victoria. Concha 1s’ popularly supposed to bave a cruel, in- flexible nature, and, if Vaimaseda nas been styled the “butcher,” and compared to a tiger in his operations against the insurgents, Concha would prove himselt “a thug and the deadly Jeopara.” In the suppression of the msurrection of 185) many cruel deeds emanating through his orders were secretly executed, Wien Narciso Lopez was captured Concha led his former com- panions in arms (having formerly servea in the same Fegient) to velieve that he woulda endeavor to savé his life, but instead signed the death warrant which coniemned Bim to the garrote, Conchs has also been accused of favoriug the siave trade and considered @ projector of that tramc. ay of the leading spirits here who schemed to put Valmaseda in place and whose creature he is supposed to be, finding that their ex- pectations of the reopening of the slave trade—upon whieb, ag on a hinge, almost every other question revolves—have not been realized, will probably de- kert him and endeavor to obta anoter officer morg ty their minds BYSIGNATION.

STOKES IN HIS C¢LL. Now that the excitement of the past few days in regard to the shooting of James Fisk nas somewhat died away, and the inquest having been concluded, Stokes is beginning to feel more at ease, and his quarters are far more comfortable than those of any other prisoner in the Tombs.

There are several pretty pictures bung up on the walls and @ sweet smelling nosegay occupies a place on the shelf and makes the marrow and confined cell redolent of perfume. There are also geveral bottles og perfumery, which Mr. Stokes uses when making nis toilet. Altogetner the cell is as pretty a place as can well be imagined, and as Stokes haa his meals furnished by Mrs. Stacom, the wife of the Warden oi the prison, he will no doubt become used to the good fare here, which ig quite as substantial, 1! not so delicate, as the viands at the Hoifman House, ‘Stokes has received several articles of clothing through bis friends, which have been conveyed to mm irom his tormer residence. ie does noi hold any communication whatever with Mrs. Mansfield, his counsel having resolved that she must not visit their client, as he has already suffered more than enough py her fatal acquaintance.

It ts stated that Mrs. Mansfield some months ago endeavored to get Stokes to procure @ divorce from this good Woman; but tn this she failed, as Stokes was Not 80 lost to all fine feelings as to discard the wife of his bosom.

THE FISK-MANSFIELD LIBEL CASE. 1is Disposition and What Justice Bixby Has To Say About It. On next Saturday the charge of libel upon which Mrs. Helen Josephine Mansfisid had caused the arrest of the late Mr. Fisk was to have come up for @ final hearing in the Yorkville Police Court. Ht was set down for that day by Justice Bixby, the coun- selfor doth parties tothe case having so agreed, How little they, or, in fact, any one then present ta the court room, thought what the final disposition of the case would be, Ina conyersation held by a HERALD reporter yesterday wit Justice Bixby, he said that of course the death of Mr. Fisk, the person charged with the alleged misdemeanor, ended the case, and, #0 far as nis Court was concerned, it stood now as if it had never been recorded on his books. The pile of testimony taken tn the different ex- aminations of the case and now in the hanas of the Judge 1s therefore of no more value than if it were only so much waste paper—that is, in a egal sense— and worth preserving only cecause tt would make an interesting obapter or two of “free love” litera- ture, in which 1s recorded the eventful lives of two prominent votaries of that rather loose religion. Justice Bixby, in answer to an inquiry made by the reporter before leaving, gave it as his opiton that he was almost ceriain Stokes had no tuteution of killing Fisk when he lett the Court, at least on that day, and only made up nis mind to do it aiter he had been informed 9! pie indicumeat by the Grand Jury of & chargé of blackmailing.
