tional convention to consider the ex
pediency of remonitizing silver coin,
and fix the value of the silver in rela
tion to gold coin. Until such interna

statutes of the United States.
The Pacific Railroad Committee of

Packard and His Legislature Con
flaed in the Stato House All
Quiet and Peaceable-
New Orleans, .1 Jan . 12. About 6
o'clock to-night the fNiCholls' militia
about 5,009 strong had. a review on StJ
Charles street, opposite Lafayette
Square. As they marched through the
streets they were cheered- by the men,
and the ladies who thronged the galle
ries waved their handkerchiefs. They
were principally armed with Spring
field rifles, with bayonets and cartridge
boxes, though some were armed with
carbine?, shot guns and old muskets
and marched in a manner .that showed
they were familiar with the school of
the com pauy. "After review the com
panies were v detailed Wr -duty and
marched off to different points, some
are patrolling the city to-night, but
mp3t of them were disbanded for the
night. All 8ge8, from 16 to 60 are rep
resented in the militia, and all nations
except Africa are represented. As they
passed the Custom House this morning
on the march to Jackson Square, win
dows on old Levee street were fillad
with United States soldiers. The mili
tia brought, their guns to a carry arms
and gave three cheers, which were re
sponded to by the soldiers. At 9 o'clock
to-night the agent of the associated
pre-s attempted to enter the State
House to intefview Gov. Packard, but
was halted by the Nicholls police'and
refused admission. Gov. Packard and
the Legislature are in the State House,
but the new police have refused to
allow pro"isior.s to be carried into the
inside.
The city is perfectly quiet and with
the exception of a few armed squards
patrolling the streets, and the white
ribbon badges of the Nicholls police.
there is nothing to indicate tne events
which transpired, yesterday. Not a
single case of violence or disorder oc
curred duriDg the nigbt as far as is
known. There is no intentions of the
gathering of the armed hosts of yester
day. Both sides are exceedingly re
ticent in regard to their intentions,and
nothing is known of them outside of
their trusted friends.

Packard Anticipates No Trouble
The Democrats are Satisfied With
the Situation and Will ;Make so
Further Aggressive Movements
The Packard Legislature
Elects Ex-Gov Kellogg TJ S .
Senator for Long Term
Will Probably Eoloct
Lt.-Gov. AntonU for
the Short Term.
New Orleans, Jan 10. On visiting
the State House this morning the wait
er found a line of Nicholls'police on the
South side of St. Louis street, and on
the opposite side, a liue of Metropoli
tans. The former permitted him to
pass, but the latter halted him until
word from Gov Packard was received
to pass him. On entering the building
he found the Metropolitians looking
as if they had been on duty all night
without sleep, and members of the Leg
islature presented a similar appearance.
Gov Packard, who had just returned
rom breakfast, looked as cool and cbl-
ected as on yesterday. He stated that
there was no change in the situation
since last evening beyond the fact that
the House would have a quorum,
which was prevented yesterday dy the
ears of the members. The Senate still
acks one to complete a quorum. Ex-
Gov Kellogg, U S Marshal Pitkin, and
others were pressnt, engaged in an
earnest conversation. All were very
reticent and declined to give any in
formation as to their intentions. In its
leading editorial on the affairs of yes
terday the Republican also says : As we
have at present no goverument in this
State whose authority is undisputed
and as there are two' or thee Congres
sinnal committees trvine to find out
the truth about the late election, per
haps the President may deem it his
duty to establish martial law until such
time, if ever, as Congress eh all come
to some conclusion and agreement in
the premises.
12 m. There is no change in the sit
uation, nor is there any trouble antici
pated. The Nichols party assert that
they are satisfied with the situation
and will make nq further aggressive
advances.
1:40 pm-The Republican Legislature
inioint session has just elected Ex-Gov
Kellogg to be U S Senator for the long
