He slates General Sheridan's relation to tbe trouble, and exhooer ates Liin from the charge of tbe Dem ocracy. Among a parcel of telegrams from the General, accompanying the mes sage, are the following, which give con siderable information as to the violence employed iu that State. He promises a more detailed stateuieut of tbe oat rages : New Oulfass, January 10. Horn. W. If. Belknap, Secretary of War, , Washington, JJ. V. : Since the year 18GG nearly thirty five hundred persons, a great majority of whom were colored turn, have been killed and wouuded in tins State. In 1867 the official record Khows that eigh teen huudred and eighty-four were killed and wouuded ; from 1SGS no of ficial investigation has been made, and the civil authorities, in all but a few cases, have beeu uuable to arrest, oii vict, and punish the ptrpetrators ; con-aeq-iently there are no correct records to Oe oousulted fur information. There i ample evidence, however, to show thai ui're than twelve hundred persons have been killed and wounded during this time on account of their political aeutiments. Frightful massacres have occurred iu the parishes of Bossier, Caddo, Catahoula. St. Dernnrd, Saint Laudrey, Grant, aud Orleans. The general character of the massacre in the above named parishes is so well known that it is unnecessary to describe them. Tbe isolated cases can best be illustrated by the fallowing instances, which I take from a mass of evidence now lying before ine of men killed on account of their political principles : In Xathitoclies parish the number of isolated cases reported is thirty-three ; in th paiisli of l'ienviile the nntber of men killed is thirty ; in Red Iliver parish the isolated cases of men killed is thirty-four ; iu Winn parish the uutu ber of isolated cases where men were killed is fifteen ; in Jacks m parish the number killed is twenty, and iu CVa boula Darish the number of isolated cases reported where men were killed is fifty, and most of the country parishes throughout the State will show a cor responding state of affairs The fol lowing statements will il'u'rate the cbaraster and kind of these outrages : Oo the 30th of August, 1874, in Red lliver parish, six Stae and parish offi ecrs. named Twitchell, Divers, Holland, Howell, Eagerton, and Willis, were taken, together with four negroes, under guard, to be taken out of the State, and were deliberately murdered. On the 29th of August, lfc74, the White league tried, sen.'enred, and hung two negroes. On the 28:h of August 1S74, three negroes were shot and killed at Brownsville. Just before tho arrival of the Uuited States troeps in th;s par ish two White Leaguers rode up to a negro cabin and called for a drink of water. When tb.s old colored man turned to draw it they shot Liui :n the back and killed bitn. The courts were all broken up in this district judge driven out. In the pari h of Caddo, prior to the arrival of United States troops, all the cScers at Shrevepott were compelled tit abdicate by the White League, which took possession ot the place. Among those obliged to abdicate were Walsh, the mayor ; Ra pars, the inheriff; Wiieaton, clerk of the court ; Durant, the recorder, and Furgusoa and Reufro, administrators. Two colored men who had given evi dence iu regtrd to frauds committed in tbe parish were compelled In flee for their lives, and reached this city list night, having been smuggled through in cargo of cotton. Iu the parish of llessier the White League have at tempted to force the abdication of Judge Baker, tbe United States com missioner and parish judge, together with O'Neal, the sheriff, and Walker, the clerk of the court, aud they have compelled the parish and district Courts to suspend operations. Judgo liaker atates that the White Leaguers notified him several times that if be became a candidate on the Repuoiican ticket, or i if ho attempted to u.gauize tbe Repub lican party, he should i.ot live until electiou. They also tried to iutimida'e bim through his family by making the same threats to his wife, and when told by Lim that he was a United States commissioner, they notified hnn not to attempt to exercise the functions of his office. Iu but few ot the country par ishes can it be truly said that the law is properly enforced, and in some of the parishes the judges bate tot been able t hold coui t for tbe past two years. Human life in this State is held so cheaply that when men are killed on account of political opinions the mur e rers are regarded rather as heroes than as criminals in the localities where they reg:d by the White League and their supporters. An illustration of j the ostracism that prevails in the State may be found ia a resolution of a I White Iapne Club in the parish of De Sotr, which 'ats "That they pledge , themselves uadcr nj circumstances, af ter the coming election, to employ, tent IsdJ to or in auy o:Ler manner give aid, comfort, or credit to any man, - white or black, who votes against the nominees of the wbite man's party." ' Safety for individuals who express their opinion in the isolated portions of this State has existed only when that opin ion waa in favor of the principle and - party supported by tbe Kaklux and : White League organization. Only 'Jerdr Jul9 MLrs, the parish judge of tbe parish of Natcbiocbet, called on me upon bis arrival in this citv, and stated that in order l reach here alive he was obliged to leave tin home by steivli and alter o'ghtfnil and make bis way to Little Rock, Arkan 8as, and come to this city by wty of Memphis, lie further stales that while his father was 5ying at the point of death iu the same vilUge he was uuable to visit bim from fear of assassination, and yet he is a native of the parish, and proscribed for liis political senti meuts only. It is more than probable ! that, if bad government l.ai existed in I.:.. j ... .1.. ..,,..1, f ... una L:m j lb la iiiq insult vi i iucu gaiiizatiou, wh:ch have now crystalled into what is railed the White League. Instead of had government developing them, thej have by their terrorism pre vented to a considerable extent the col lection of taxe?, the holding of courts, the punishing of criminals, and viola ting public sentiment by familiarizing it with the scenes above described. 1 am now engaged in compiling evidence for a detailed report open the above throuphout the State. 1 will also re port in due time uj.on the same suljiet iu the States of Arkansas and Missis- ippt. 1 H. Sheridan, Lieutenant General. BISnOP WILMEU S INCOXSISTENXr. To W. tt Btllcnip, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C .- Several promineut people bare for tbe last few days been passing resolu tions and manufacturing sensational protests for Northern political consump tion. They seem to be trying to make martyrs of thmuselves ; it cannot be done at this late day. There have been too many bleeding negroes and ostra cised white citizens lor their statements to be believed by fair i:uu 'ed people. JJishop Wilmr protests against my tel egram of the 4th tost., forgetting that on Saturday Iat he testified, under oath, before the Congressional t oin mittee, that the condition of afLirs here was substantially as bad as re po-ted by tne. I will sonu send tou a statement of the number of murders committed in ttiii State during tbe last three or frur years, the perpetrators of which are still uniunished. I think that the number will startle you. It will be up in the thousands. The city is perfectly quiet. No trouble is ap prehended. P. H. Sheridan, Lieutenant General U. S. A. The Congressional Committee sent to Louisiana to investigate the late elec tion in that State, have reported. They give no opinion, but simply state evi dence given before thein, and facts, such as came under tbeir notice. 1 be report puts the 'Slate Upturning Hoard' in an unenviable light. As to the late revolutionary attempt to side, tbe Legislature of Louisiana, the report in every particular confirms what General Sheridan despatched regarding the manner of organization, and cuiploviueut of Uuited States troops. The following is what tbe Committee fays on that point : As to the proceedings on the 4th of January, about which the committee detrirc a statement, we now add that jour sub committee, on th6 invitation ot the Democratic Conservative Com mittee ol the State of Louisiana, visit ed tbe hail of the iliuse of Represent ativcs, and witnessed the convening of tbe Louisiana House of ltt-presenta fives. Mr. Potter, refusing to go inside tbe bar remained outside, while, Foster and I'helps were seated inside aud near tbe Speakers chair. Mr. Potter remained only till Mr. Wiltz was elec. ted Speaker, and states nothing as to what subsequently occurr-d. Mr. Foster remained, peihaps an bour, and Mr. Phelps remained about an bour later, until be learned that the milita ry were about to eutcr under Governor Xellogg'a orders. The doings i tbe State House on the 4;h of January as seen by tbe committee, as subsequent ly in evidence, were substantially as follows: At 12 o'clock noon William Vipers, the Clerk of the last House, called tbe Assembly to order aud pro ceeded to call the roll of members as made up from the returns of the Re turning Board. This roll contained the names of 106 members, classed by Governor Kellog, as 53 Republicans and 53 Democrat, but it is claimed that one of the Democrats was not a "stajirig" Democrat. Tbe Rppubli cans claimed that one of Ibeir mem bers, A. G. Cousin, b&d been kidnap ped, and forcibly taken to a distant parish to prevent Lis presence at the organization of the Hi use. Your com mittee were about to investigate this charge, when in public session it was claimed by the Democratic counsel, and admitted by the Republican coun sel, that the arrest was under legal pro cess aud by the bands of the sheriff. It was further claimed, and not denied, that the privilege of office did not shield him from arrest. The charee was embezzlement. The full House would contain one hunired and eleven members, of which fifty t.ix would be a quorum. On the first call of the roll one hundred and two answered to their names. It is claim, d by the Republi cans, and we believe conceded by the Uciiiocrats, that hfty of these answer ing to their names w.re Democrats aud htty-two were Republicans. The in slant ihe clerk finished the roll-call aeveta' members rose to their feet, but the floor was successfully In, Id by Mr Blilicu, who said that he nominated L. A. iltz as temporary chairman. 1 he i.lerk suggested that the legal motion was to elect a Speaker. ilr. Biilieu himself paying ho attention to the Clerk, proceeded hurriedly to put his own motion, which was received by loud yeas, and followed by as loud bays, aud declared " it carried." Mr. Willi sprang instantly to tbe platform, took f i oiu the Cierk th? gavel, was quickly sworn in by Justice Uoustou, who lol- lowed him to the platform, and then rapped the House, which, during this tune, hsd teen in great confusion, iuto a temporary quiet, mt. iltz, as tem porary chairman, administered the oath tu the members en masse, who rose to receive it. Some member made a no tion to elect Trtzevant Clerk. Wiltz put tLeanoticn, and decided it carried. Trezcvant at once came forward and took tbe cleik's cha r. Immediately after, and with the same baste, a iMr. Flood was elected Sergeant at-arms, aud at once, whether on motion or not, your committee do not remember, a number of assistant jergeaat-at-aruis were appointed, who promptly appeared wearing badges on wbicb waa printed 44 Assistant Sergeant-at-arms." While tbe above-mentioned cottons were be ing put members objected and called for lbs yeas aud nays, all of which was dis regarded aud pronounced out of order by the acting chairman. Colonel Low ell, a Republican, made the point of order that tbe constitution of the State allowed any two meaiters to call for the yeas and nays on any motion, but the temporary chairman decided the poiut was not well taken until a motion for permanent organization was made. Next a motion to go into an election for permanent organization was offered and declared premature. Against flits ruling the Republicans protested. A mot:on to seat the Democratic mem bei's alleged to be elected in the four parishes referred to the Legislature was immediately made and carried. During this stage there was mueb dis order. Tbe Rejuhlichn numbers prj tested, but their protests were disre garded. Theae gentlemen then ap peared and were sworn in. A motion to adjourn was then put and declared lost. Mr. Lowell (Rep.) moved that the House proceed to a permanent or ganization, and that the vote be taken npon the roll of tbe Returning Board. This motion was declared lost, Mr. Lowell protesting Mr. Muttlieus (Run.) nomina ted Mr. Lowe'l temporary chairman ; put tbe motion amidst f.eat confusion and dis order, and doclired it carried. Mr. Lowell declined to serve. The Uone then pro ceeded to e'ect a Speaker. The roll was called by the Clerk, Trerevant, who report ed 6-i votes for Wilts, 2 votes for llahn, and I, Mr. Wilts' own, blank. This r-f alt was ascertained by the Clerk by simply keeping a tally of the members votinjr as tliey answered to th?ir names. No roll of members voting was kept, neither were tellers ordered, or any such other means employed than calling the roll to ascertain the number voting. This vote inclndes the fire members who bad been sworn in to fill vacancies. During this roll-call, when Mr. Hahn's name was called, he rose and asked to be excused from voting and to be allowed to stale his reasons. Aa objection was made and t':en the Sneaker pra tern, asked for unanimous consent to his explanation. Consent was given, and Mr. Halm spoke at some length. Alter the announcement by the Cl"rk ol'tlie vote Witts was sworn in as Speaker, and proceeded to swear in others present so tar as they came forward t lie Horn. Those thug sworn in were said to number sixty in ail. in.vle up of fifty Con servatives and fix e Keputilicans, who were returned by the Ketiiriung l'-ourd, and the five Democratic members who h id jiist b -en admitted. Ontside the bar of the legisla tive hall in Ihe St.ite louse ther.' were a larjre numb.-r of the lice, stippurted by the Federal troops. No p.-rson was per mitted to the Stale House except through the orders of Governor Kellogg. Within the bar of the lioue were permitted only the gentlemen returned by the Keimning Boaid, aud Clerk and Sergcnt-at-arms ol the former Iiniature, teu perron allowed to the Conservatives, mcssri.gi-r who sud denly became Ibeir assistant sergemit-at-arms, and a few other persons, such as were admitted by courtv.vr to the floor. With out the bar, in the public p-irt of the hill, stood the contestants and other persons ad mitted They numbered by acluil count VSi . Besides thess the door of the hill was kept by 21 )oiice. Wilts uiaint.iinei control of the Assembly until some time after he was chosen Speaker. When the Kepuhiicans undcitook to withdraw lioin the ball, Wiltz gave instructions to the .Seigeant-at-arms not to allow any one to pass out or enter the hall. Then the dis turbance without the bar at once increased, aud pistoU were displayed, when al this junctiirtr a Conservative member moved th.it the Speaker be requested to ask General De Trohriand to preserve order. A coni- mittee was appointed to wait on General De 1 robriand, abd request his cii; liance. Gen. D.r Trobriand soon came to the liar nnaccompanieJ, except by one aid, whom he lei t there, and then, alone approached the Speaker. The Speaker requested him to ak tor order in the lobby. General De Trobriand did so, and order was then re stored. The iipeukcr thanked him iu the name of the House tor hi courti-sy, ana be withdrew. The action of the b xly pro ceeded lor an hour or so without interrup tion, during w'r.kh time .. committee on contested s-.-ats was appointed, minor o'B cers elected, and debate had, but no mes sage was sent to the Senate or Governor uolilyiug them that tbe House was organ ized and ready to proceed to busiuess When at length Gen. De Trobriand return ed and stated he had orders to remove the fire memliers sworn in, who bad not bee returned by the Returning Board, and alter Gen. Campbell hri been sent for to point them out, they wero removed by the Dnittd States soldiers. Wiltz then left the chair to Vigers to organise the House, begin to call ihe roll of the Iteturning Board, and two Democratic members had answered to tli.ir names when Wiltz intvrrupied the cierk, ai.d calied upou the Conservative members t refuse to antwer, and to leave the hall. The interruption over, Vigers be gan anew to call the roll, and obtaining only fifty responses; but as the two Democratic members had just bulore answered uu the roll-call which was interrupted, he assumed ii right to announce that hTty tn members had answered to their n iraes. Those who remained alter Mr. Wilts and his friends withdnw elected Hjhn Speaker by accla mation, and proceed, d to the business of the Legislature. There was no subsequent roll-call by which the number of those members, whose names were returned bv the Keturniiig Board, aud who still remain ed present at time oHiberatious, could be determined. lour committee have not been able to agree ujion any recommenda tions, but upon the situattou in Louisiana, as appeared belore us, we are all agreed. Charles Foster, W. W'altks I'uELrs, Claxksom A. Fottiii, Committee. Clemency. From the Chicago Inter-llr ean. The assertion that the Republican policy has been oue of hatred to tbe South is more thsa disproved by tbe rapid manner in which political disa bilitics have been removed and the States welcomed back to representation in Congress. That the Vice President of the Confederacy and scores of rebel generals are in this Congress and tu be in the next is due to the spirit of kind ness and conciliati on which has actuated the Republican party from the day that the South grounded arms at Appomatox Court House. The spirit in which this clemency has beeu met is shown in the constantly lisiiiif tide of ostracism, per secution, murder, by which it has been followed. This is the measure of ap preciation with which the efforts made solely by the Republican party have been met from the very first. Iu othei lands a rebellion quelled would have seen its leaders hung, aud its people either reduced to vassalage or deprived for a generation of all representation or voice in their government. The great mistake which the Republican party made, it is too evident to-day. has been on the side ot clemency a clemency which, in its breadth and gen erosity, in its purity, patriotism, aud disinterestedness, has no parallel iu the history of mankind. Such are the facts as they will be indelibly recorded in future years, and yet "the outrage mill" grinds on ! TliK third Tuesday in February- being the 16th will be election day. News Items.

A most daring and successful descent was made upon the First National Rank of Carbondale, Pa., at fifteen minutes past twelve on the I4tb, while the teller, G. D. Couch, and a clerk were absent at dinner, leaving only the cash ier, James Stott, in the bank. Mr. Stott is quite an old man, suffers from ill health and is very feeble. Two men oame in at the front door of tbe batik, and one of them asked for tho change of a five dollar bill. Mr. Stott stooped down to comply with tbe request when the man reached over aud grabbed bis head ana piiiuej it to the desk, wh:le his companion jumped over and bound and gagod him. They then hastily gathered up all the currency they cculd find, amounting to abont ten thousand dollars, fortunately overlooking one package which contained fifteen thou sand dollars. They were disturbed by woman coming to the front door, and escaped by the back door, crossing the river oo the ic?, and were seen to cuter a sleigh and drive off. It is thought, however, that they did not go far be- ! fore secreting themselves. One was J about five feet four inches, and note a snuff colored coat and hat.

The horse used by the abductors of Charlie Ross, and which was found in Newark stable, has been identified by Walter Ross.- On Monday morning Mr. Ross and bis son Walter left this city for Newark, at tne suggestion pf Captaiu Heins, and were met in New ark by Detective Titus, who accom panied them to Van Fleet's stables, where the horse was kept. A remarkable fact connected with the identification of the animal waa fbat before quitting Philadelphia tbe boy Walter said to bis father and others "I shall know tbe horse, snre. He has a white star upon his forehead, a white hind leg, a sore back, and there ia wind gall or wen on one of bis bind tegs. But 1 shall know him best be cause when tbe lr?rse started he turned around and Iaurbed." The father and other members of the family thought the laughing of the horse some child ish expression, but did not fully under stand what Was meant at the time. When the party arrived at the stable the horse was bitched to a carriage to enable the boy Walter to see tbe horse in harness When tbe reins were gath ered np, and tbe horse was told to "get op," the animal turned bis head ia a peculiar manner, displaying his teeth. "Look, papa, look!" exclaimed Wal ter Ross to his father. "See, the horse is laughing at us." Thin was what Walter meant when be told his father and Detective Heins ia this city, before they started, that "tbe horse that Mo ther drove when Charlie was abducted turned and laughed at them just before he started." It was a child's idea, but the fact made a grvat impression upou the observing boy. Superintendent Walling said yesterday to Mr. Ross that this "laughing" of tbe borse was one of the strongest points of the iden tification. The idea of Walter's was original, but the simile was acknowl edged by all who saw tbe peculiar trait of the animal. Superintendent Wall ing stated that he believed that there was gteat probability that this was really the borse that M usher drove upou the day of the abduction, and he has strong hopes that tbe discovery may lead to the solving of tbe mystery hang ing over the fate of Charlie Ross. Pkila. Press, Jan. 13M. In the midst of a play in a Chinese theatre in Yolo, Cal., recently, two of the performers had a combat so realistic and vigorous as to fix the attention of the previously listless audience. The actors were armed with knives, and while they struggled with each other oo the stage, the spectators yelled and stamped their approval.
