THE DISHONORED CITY. New ORLEANS, Jan. 7, 1875. A meeting of foreign residents of New Orleans, held at the St. Charles Hotel to-day, adopted the following :— Resolved, That our position as foreigners resid, ing and carrying on business in Louisiana, and subject to its laws, does not permit us asa body to express any opinion upon the political ques- tions now unfortunately disturbing this city or to take any part therein; but that having read a telegram sent by General Sheridan to the Secretary of War, at Washington, stigmatizing the community of which we form @ part as defy- ing all lawinl authority by lending itselt to murder and to other crimes, we hereoy declare that the character thus given to ourselves and to the hon- orable and law-abiding men and citizens with whom we are brought into datly contact 1s not consistent with truth, and is calculated to injure and degrade us in the eyes of the business com- munity at large, as well a8 our countrymen at home and society in general CORRECTION OP TESTIMONY. J. H, Oglesby, in a letter, says:—“The testimony given by me before the Congressional Committee has been imperfectly understood and I desire to put myself right, Ihave no recollection of hav- ing used the word ‘prosperous.’ 1 said, or in- tended to say, We were sounder than ever before; our business 1s less In volume and sounder in character, Claiming to possess ordinary intelli- gence [am at a loss to understand why the term prosperous has been put in my mouth; prosperity does not exist here,’” KELLOGG’S LEGISLATURE. Both houses of the Keliogg Legislature are in session and proceeding with business. fhe con- servatives remain together in caucus. QUIET IN MILITARY OIROLES, Nothing new Is reported iu military circles, WILLING FOR ANYTHING. Governor Kellogg in an interview to-day, sald he was willing to abide by the decision of the Con- gtessional Committec if they arbitrate the 1872 election case. THE EXECUTIVE AND CON- GRESS. ‘THE PRESIDENT FIRMLY FIXED IN HIS POLICY— SHERIDAN COMMENDED—CONFIDENCE IN THE REPUBLICAN SUPPORT—SENTIMENTS OF CON- GRESSMEN—THE ‘ECONOMY OF BLOOD.” WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1875, Whoever may be scared, the President is not. On the contrary, he was to-day cheerful ard even elated, or as much so as he ever is. He feels him- seif in the saddle and master of the situation. In conversation to-day with various people he ex- pressed himself as abundantly pleased with the result of events in New Orleans. His policy there, he believed, had drawn the party lines more rigidly than before, a8 was evidenced to himin the positive attitude of the republicans tn the Senate, which bighly pleased him. Be saw by this that any differences of opinion which had pre- vatled before have been set aside, and he coula now, he though!, count upon an undivided sup- port. NO TEMPOBIZING POLICY. He was determined that there snould be no weak, temporizing policy hereafter. The most vigorous Measures woulda be adopted and carried out, ana that to the last extreme, to secure absolute peace and tranquillity in the South. He was determined to establish law and order. He would estaolish the legally clectea government of Louisiana, and it should not be interrupted by violence or insub- ordination, As for Sheridan’s despatch he sus- tained it unqualifiedly. Te had no iauit to find with it. On the contrary, it gave him great satis- faction. MILITARY USURPATION TO BE REPEATED IN AR- KANSAS, He regards the Arkansas case as parallel with that of Louisiana and means to pursue there an equally determined policy. This ts the substance, faithfally given, of his conversations to-day with several members of Congress. He does not con- ceal his determination to put down at all hazards everything which he regards as disorder or “in- subordination’ in the South, and he ts very much | gratified to think that his vigorous uncompro- mising policy will heal all party divisions and once more give him undivided support. GRANT CONFIDENT OF THE COUNTRY’S SUPPORT. As to the opinion of the country, ne is sure that it 1s with him; so sure, indeed, that within twen- ty-four hours he said, in his own terse way, that | he “could be re-elected to-morrow.” If the hearts of any of the Cabinet fail them they manage to conceal it. There were persons here who ex- pected an explosion to follow Mr. Belknap’s cheer, ful’despatch to Sheridan that “all of us were proud o! him.” But they give no sign, and it nfust be confessed that about some of them there ts grief among thetr friends. THE BATTLE IN CONGRESS, In Congress the Cay’s proceedings were une- ventful. Both sides are preparing for action, As the republicans have the majority they delay the battle until they can hit upon a plan. It looks more and more as if the President’s firm front woud cow the party into a sullen support. There isa talk of caucusing, but every republican caucus on Southern affairs ts controlled by Southern mem- bers, who fight ior their own hand, and resist, of course, everything which looks like conciliation, They are firm triends of a vigorous policy, and one of them, Mr. White, of Alabama, had the temerity to-day to introduce in the House a resolution giv- ing the President the ‘thanks, support and confi- dence of Conzress” for the “powerlul measures he has adopted for the maintenance of peace in Louistana,”’ FRIGHT OF THE REPUBLICANS. The paralysis of the republicans was shown by the fact that they would not let the yeas and nays be calied on this mdorsement of Grant and Sheri- dan, There is growing among many of them the hope that if only all action of Congress can be de. layed a few days the present excitement and tn- | Oignation will blow over, and they will not be re- quired to blame the President or interfere with his acts. Washington has the disadvantage at such & time as this of betng at a distance from the important centres of influence and opinion. In- dignation here is supposed to be party feeling, The mass of the population are in ofice, or otner- Wise take little positive interest in such events as this at New Orleans, and ti takes some days tora Northern storm to get down to this latitude, THE PRESIDENTS SUPPORT IN HIS PARTY, Meantime, it must be added that, as usual, the positive men make themselves feit; ana she pos. tive men now are whose who shut their eyes and | support woe President, These, at any rate, haves Policy; the others sre afloat, however confident the President may ‘eel. Do the Cabinet mean to let thetr supporters in the Senate languish for want of countenance? Yesterday Mr. Belknap was fying about between the House and Senate during the afternoon, with smiling face, showing Sheridan's despatches and his replies. To-day both Mr, Robeson and Mr. Belknap spent the whole day im the Senate, sitting mostly with General Logan, and Mr, Conkling. “A united frons,” “No divi- sion,” “No disputes before the enemy,” is the ery; and if the country 1s as helpless as the repub- ican party in Congress appears to be, the Prest- dent ana Sheridian will really be masters of the situation, Not that there are not men who would like to matiny, but so far they lack a leader. THE NEW ORLEANS INVESTIGATION. The House will wait for the New Orleans com- mittee, whose members will arrive on Saturday, Their report ts looked for with great interest, as Dot unlikely to offer a way out of the dimculty to the republicans THE QUESTION OF IMPEACHMENT DISCUSSED. The word “impeachment” was heard more than once to-day in conversation, and there is some Teason to believe that the democrats would not be unwilling to have the new Congress called to meet on the 4th of March, Indeed, there are repubii- cans who would heartily agree, and it is possible that the matter may come to a vote, KELLOGG URGING PINCHBACK ON THE SENATE. Governor Kellogg has, (tis said, telegraphed to prominent Senators to-day to have the Morton resolution seating Pinchback and therefore rec- ognizing the Kellogg government “put through at once,” as its accomplishment will cause a quorum in the Legislature, at least seventeen democrats having assured him that with the final action of Congre-s, settling the controversy thus, they Will come into the Legisiature. GENERAL SHERIDAN EXPLAINS. General Sheridan telegraphed to-day to the War Department that he finds himsel! misrepresented in tne Northern papers, as their comments are telegraphed to New Orleans, and smarts under criticism. He says he was instructed to report the actual condition of affairs in the South, and that he did so briefy. If necessary he will send the names of four thousand person § Who have been murdered in tho South since the close of the war, and that he can readily give as many names of murderers uppunished. When the despatch was read by the President he said :—‘Peace shall be maintained in the South even if it requires the economy of blood,’” THE PRESIDENT PREPARING A SPRCIAL MESSAGE. It is understood to-night that the President, rec- ognizing the importance of ending the denate in the Senate, 1s preparing a special Message to Con- gress embodying all information that bas been re- ceived through the War Department and the Attorney General concerning the turbulence in the South, This, he means, shall explain his peal for tbe steps he has taken io Southern affairs. THE QUESTION IN THE SENATE WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1875, The Senate of the United States to-day resumed the consideration of the resolution in regard to Louisiana affairs submitted on Tacsday last by Mr, Thurman, democrat, of Ohio, SPEECH OF SENATOR HAMILTON. Mr. HawintTon, (dem.) of Md., said the people of the country might weil take alarm from the un- preceaented character of the seizure of the State House in New Orleans. The information asked of the Prestdent, by the resolution now betore the Senate, was desired by all, and he did not see where there could be any objection to passing it. The Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Howe) had askea, “What are you going to doin case the President dia not answer tne resolution?’ He (Mr, Hantilton) did not suppose the President would decline to answer; but if ne should, Con- gress had the remedy. The army did not belong tothe President, but to the people. If the Presi- dent used the army for improper purposes CONGRESS CAN DISBAND THE ARMY, It could refuse to vote supplies for it and every armed soldier in the land couia be dispersed by Congress ; every vessel-of-war now before New Or- leans could be taken away by Congress. It re- quired no articles of impeachment to do that, no two-thirds vote, but a simple majority of the repre- sentatives of the people could do so, That was the remedy of Congress against a despotic Executive. MORTON'S BLOODY Raq. The Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton) was flying the bloody rag again. He (Mr. Hamilton) would remind him that there were no elections now except in Connecticut and New Hampshire. Toe Indiana Republican Committee had in the last campaign asked republican newspapers to make Southern ontrages prominent tii alter electiors These stories of outrages in the South were her- alced betore the country for electioneering pure poses. Mr. LoGAN sald he would like to have read the testimony showing that 100 negroes were mur- dered 1n one place. He was prepared with sworn statements to show that every particular of these outrages was true, and it would not do to say that they were heralded to the country for cam- paizn purposes. She men who nade such state- ments had their hearts seared with iron and had no sympathy. (Applause in the galleries.) The CHAIR—(\Ir, Ferry, of Michigan), directed the Sergeunt-at-Arms to see that the rule was en- forced in the galleries. Mr. HaMILToN, resuming his argument, said that this whole outrage business was wrong. The idea thut the govd people of Louisiana, a8 culti- vated, as intelligent and as patriotic as the Sena- tor himself (Mr, Morton) should be put uoder ne- gro control, because some ruffian killed @ man was an outrage. LOGAN CAUGHT. Mr. LoGAN asked the Senator (Mr. Hamilton) if he indorsed the action of Mr.gPenn in overturning the State government of Louisiana in 1874, Mr. HAMILTON said ne would answer the ques- tion in his own way, and propound to his iriend another, and that was, did he (Logan) believe Mcknery had been elected Governor of Louisiana? | Mr. Logan said he had reported that in his Opinion there had been such irauds that neither Kellogg nor McEnery were elected. He tnen re- peated his question to Mr. Hamilton, whether ne indorsed the action of Penn 1m overturning the State government. Mr. Hamitron—Why, there was ro State gov- ernment to overthiow, and the honorable Senator has so reported, (Laughter on the floor, applause in the galleries). THE GALLERY OBSTREPEROUS. Mr. SARGEN!, (rep.) Of Cal., gave notice that in case of further applause he would move that tne galieries be cicared. Mr. LOGAN said that 80 far as he was concerned he did not mind the applause 1m the galleries, It was the sume he had heard years ago in the in- fancy o1 the rebellion, Mr. SARGENT moved that the galleries be cleared. Agreed to, Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N.Y., appealed to the Senator from Califorma (Mr. Sargent) to so moduy | his motion as to aim it at those portions of the galleries where repeated disrespect had been | shown. So far as those persons woom he heard | by their predecessors in 1560 and 1861 Were con. cerned, he Knew they were practising their tndig- nity upon the rights of the Senate, and he had no objection to mnterpose against turning them out of | the galery. Mr. ‘T1pToN moved to amend so that only persons meee the rules of the Senate snould be pun- | ashe Mr, STEVENSON, (dem.) of Ky., hoped the amend- | ment ol the senator irom Nevraska (Mr. Tipton) would be agreed to, Phis was an interesting de- bate, and he hoped the American Senate would bot drive out from this chamber ladies and gentile. men who had a right to be here. Mr. THURMAN, (dem.) of Oluo, said he desired | to second tne suggestion of his friend from Ken- tucky. Here were hundreds of American citizens in the galleries conducting themselves with pros priety, while others in the galleries were violaung therules. Let them be dealt wich. He did not think it wise in Senacors to heap upon these peo- re epithets, to say the least, extremely seveite t would not do to charge any portion of the peo- ple interested in these debates with treason and being traitors. ‘Those who applauded did very Wrong, ind no pne censured them more than him- sell, Me recoflected that since he held a seat in this body when a certain Ku Klux bill was before the senate more than one Senator | who advocated the bili was cheered, All these things Were wrong. The spectavors were here to | listen, not to applaud. Let the Sergeant-at-Arms Station cnough men in the galleries to see woo | the offenders aie, and, if that failed, he would | vote for a clearing of the yalleries also,t Mr. BAYARD, (dem) of Del., condemned any ap- plause und said, “Lhe rules o1 the Senate mfist be | respected.” Mr, THURMAN submitted, as a substitute for Mr. Sargent’s motion, an order that the Sergeant-at- Arins be direcied to place im the gallery a sutll- cient police jorce ty arresi any person who may | disturb the proceedings by marks of approbation or disapprobuuon, aad report such cases to the Senate. Mr. SANGENT said he had a strong hope trat afte the severe condemnation which the applause t received irom Senators on both stdes of the cham- ber 1¢ would not be repeated, So hoping ne would accept the suostitute of the Senator irom Ono (Mr. Thorman), bat gave notice that uf tae ap- plause sould be renewed he would renew his o1ig- Inai motion to clear the galieries. Mr, Tirvon said he hearuly concurred in the | substitute submitted by the gentieman irom OMmo (Mr. Tharm. and he had no hesitancy in saymz it tue Sereeaui-al-Arms could nov preserve orvct the Senate had the army of the United States Which it could cali in to preserve tt. (Laughter.) THE CHAIR SUSTAINED. The Cuatr (Mr. Ferty, of Micuizam) sald he de ; the same subject, but decided to postpone action | PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE—PROTEST AGAINST | sired to verify the remarks of the Senator from New York (Mr. Conkling) as to the acilon of the Present occupant of the chatr. aha. sunanase of Mr. Thurman was then POSSIBILITIES OF MILITARY TYRANNY. Mr. HaMiLTON, resuming, spoke of the recent events in Louisiana, and said they were all part of the conspiracy to keep Keilogg in office, He next read from the despatcn of Geneval Sheridan in reference to declaring certain persons banditt! and baving them tried by military commission. He commented on this despatch and said he hoped a inilitary commission was a tuing of the past. It was one of those things which would forever remain a blot upon the fair fame oi American iberty. Had it come to this, that the President of the United States could issue hix orders to organize @ State Legislature and General Sheridaa carry them out? Could nothing be done to arrest military power? Was the Sen- ate to sit here and heara military officer advise the President to declare’ a set of men banditt! ? If that sentiment should be permitted that same President could march that s»me General to the Senate and House of Representatives and clear all the Senators and members out at the point of the bayonet. He deniea that in New Orleans. Ld le were assassinate: ellogg had not been assassinated, Casey had not, and why should General Sheridan be alraid? In conclusion, he urged that peace be given to Louisiana, by aliowing the people o: the State to rule over theirown affairs, ani once more there would be peace throughout the land. Mr. BAYARD then obtained the Noor, but yielded he Mr. SARGENT for @ Motion for an executive ses- sion. A SKIRMISH IN THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1575. In the House of Representatives to-day Mr. WHITE, (rep.) of Ala., asked leave to offer a resolution thanking the President for the prompt and efficient measures adopted by him ior the prevention of violence and for the maintenance of law and order in the State of Louisiana, and pledging him the hearty co-operation of the House in sustaining his efforts in that behalf, Mr. BROMBERG, (110. rep.) 01 Ala., objected. Messrs, BECK, (dem.) of Ky., and KANDALt, (dem.) of Pa., and other democrats demanded the yeas and nays on the resolution. The SPEAKER ruled that objection being made the resolution was not belore the Honse. Mr. BROMBERG then withdrew his objection, but the withdrawal was too late, and the resolution ‘was not received, THE DENUNCIATIONS FROM THE STATES. GOVEENOB GASTON, OF MASSACHUSETTS, REFERS TO LOUISIANA. Boston, Jan, 7, 1875, The following passage was added by Governor Gaston to nis address shortly before its delivery :— The presence of an armed force of the United States in a Legislature of a State jor the purpose of settling an election contest betweem political parties is matter of great concern to all peopie of all States, more especially in a case where the possible effect of such presence may ve to subvert the popular will and impose upon a people ruiers whom they have not selected. I invite the imme- diate attention of tne Legislature to this subject. GOVERNOR ALLEN, OF OHIO, ON THE FEDERAL OUTRAGE. CoLUMBUS, Jan. 7, 1875. Governor Allen has just sent the following mes- sage to the General assembly, which was referred to the Committag on Federal Relations :— I desire to call your attention to the grave cir- cumstance of the iuterierence of iederal troops in the organizatioa and proceedings of the Legisla- ture of a sister State, If the reported action of the military in unseating persons claiming to be members of the Louisiana Legislature aod giving their places to persons contesting the same 13 true and Is legal and proper, then the same inter- lerence would be legal and proper here, and it seems to me tobe the duty of the representatives of the people of cha State to at once enter a vigor- ous protest against an action that may be made a precedent at some future time for the overthrow of civil government here. If there isa law war- Tanting the settling of contested election cases in State Legislatures by the use of federal troops, hen in my judgment you should request its im- mediate repeal; if there is no law for it, then your indignant protest should be heard at Washington, inststing upon such action by Congress as will prevent m the future such flagrant outrages against civil liberty. GOVERNOR BROWN, OF TENNESSEE, ON THE TRAMPLED LIBERTIES OF LOUISIANA. NASHVILLE, Jan. 7, 1875, Governor Brown in his Message to-day refers to Louisiana matters as follows :— Permit me to express my congratulations that, unitke the Legislative Assembly of our sister State, you have been allowed to assemble peace- ably and periect your organization without iotimi- dation. jo military force surrounds your Capitol or drives trom their righttul seats the representa. tives o1 the people. Tne edict of @ petty tyrant does not here avail to disperse the State Legisla ture, Yet, your immunity from such an outrage is just now made more conspicuous by the spec. tacle of Louisiana trampled under fot and des- polled of her hberties.

In the House to-day the following resolution was introduced and referred to a special committee:— | Resolved, That we do earnestly protest, in the naine of the sovereign people of the Staie of Arkansas, aginst the unauthorized military interterence in the iocal affairs of a State duly acknowledged to be, and compos. nig, w part of thiy Ainerican Union; and we here and | now appeal to the candid judgment of the people ot these United States to Kuow Whether or not the Soutaern states are mere provinces or independent States within and composing a part of this Union, with the constitu. tional right to govern in their own local affairs, ANDY JOHNSON ON SHERIDAN. Pisares Serevent NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 7, 1875, have just had a talk with ex-President Johnson on the Louisiana imorogito. In response to inter- rogatories propounded he said:—"The action of General Phil Sheridan tn ejecting tue'Louistana Leg- | isiature 18a piece of high-handed usurpation, and | as such it ought and will receive the condemnation ofthe whote country. It is subserving civil to military power. It 1s an unwarrantabie and daan- gerous departure from the organic law upon Which our republican government is founded. | This is @ matter to be looked upon from no sec, tional standpoint, but entirely in a national light. There is but one grave fact staring us in the face, and that ts embraced in | three words, “unwarrantable usurpation of pow- | er.’ The false step taken by President Grant and Sheridan has no precedent m tne history of our government. Sheridan atvempted to create the same sort of devilment in Louisiana when I was President, but I at once cat short bis untoward, unwise and reckless proceeding by peremptorily | read by every Jady 5 Orleans to Fort Leavenworth, and turned his com mand over to General Hancock, who, on assuming command, issued a proclamation or paper which was satisfactory to the whcle country, properly setting forth that the military was subservient to the civil law, all of which was a direct oppositiog to Sheridan’s policy. GENERAL HANCOCK’S POLICY won the respect of the people, and with the dé. partare of Sheridan all agitation ceased and peace reigned. It was about the removai of Sheridan that General Grant and myself had a warm cone troversy, 1n which it was believed by the whole country that I got the better of him. My Cabinet were astounded at my determination to remove Sheridan in the face of his then existing military reputation, Some of them thought it would never do to take such stand. The Cabinet was divided on the proposition, but Itold them that Wf it turned the government upside down Sheridan nor any other general should usurp the civil authority and trample lt ignominiously under foot, There is aparallel case to that which has just occurred in Louisiana. It happened in Tene nessee in Jaly, 1864. WHAT HAPPENED IN TENNESSEE. “Many of the members of the Legislature here had absented themselves, General folmes was induced to make application to General Grant for authority to aid in organizing the Legislature, which was refused., I bad no authority or power whatever to interfere, the State hay- ing exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, that to interfere would be a usurpation of power, placing the military above the civil authorities and in utter contempt of the constitution and laws, The consequence was that the affair was not long after settled by the State authorities and thera was no more trouble. People in the South should act discreetly. Regarding the Louisiana usurpation Mr. Johnson sald that Grant and Sheridan should be temperate in all they say and do, and the people should look to the North and West to come forward and ald In the restoration of the government and constitutional authority. The whole country is justly indignanty and Louisiana will have her wrongs righted.” SHERIDAN’S FORMER REMOVAL. The folléwing 1s the despatch referred to regarde Ing the removal of Sneridan:— WASHINGTON, Angust 26, 1867. Major General P. H. Sneridan will at once turm over his present command to the officer next in rank to himself, and. proceeding without delay to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., will relieve Major Gen- eral Hancock of the command of the Department of the Missouri. ANDREW JOHNSON, U. S. Guant, Secretary of War ad interim, SHERIDAN IMPUGNED IN AR= KANSAS. LrrLe Roox, Jan. 7, 1875, The following was published here to-day :— To THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES:— Having seen @ despatch of General Sheridan to the Secretary of War, in which be speaks of terror. ism as existing in the State of Arkansas, we [eel lt to be onr duty, in behali of the religious com= munity with which we are connected, to say te the worla at large that there is no such thing as terrorism existing and no repression of public opinion or of privace action, except that .im- posed by an ordinary code of laws, und that, since the las_of May ol the past year, the country hag been profoundly quiet. There have been no perse. cutions, political or otherwise; and, so fur as wa have been abie to learn, no white leagues, or any Other similar associations. As General Sheridan has not been in Arkansas, and could only have formed an opinion by hearsay, tuls fact. may account for an opinion of the existence of imaginary evils for which he proposes a rent. edy, which of itself would extinguish all law and procure a cordition of affairs which would be @ terrorism indeed, EDWARD FITZGERALD, Bishop of Little Rock.
