It has been intimated, said Mr. Smalley. that the holders of the first mortgage bonds would not accept the proposed new issue because they had nothing to gain by so doing, but the contrary has proved the fact, and up to last, Saturday more than nine millions of these securities had been turned in. The promoters of the plan are very much elated, of course. There may lie some steps taken in Philadelphia to prevent the reorganization, but noth ing has been done yet beyond con sulting lawyers.

April 22.- Five hun dred men of both parties are on the move and a desperate conflict is ex pected at any time. Over 2."vt) regu lars armed witli Winchesters have sur rounded the town and their ostensi ble object is the capture of the court house. On the vote of the Opelousas ward depends their success or defeat in the parish and they are concen trating their efforts here. They real ize that if a full vote is polled the combine will win. The report came to Opelousas early this morning that the regulars were assembling at the liellevue road bridge, three miles south of town. Later arrivals from the country reported that 200 men on horseback ajid armed with Winchest ers. shotguns and pistols were gath ered there and planning the invasion of the town. Fpon the receipt of this news, the combine people, or anti-reg ulars began to assemlde around the court house1 square armeel to the teeth and prepanil to resist the invasion. The sheriff was in town when the news tirst arrived, but he did not at tempt to go and disband the armed iMwly of men. District Judge W. C. Perrault rode out to the camp of the regulars and endeavored by persuasion to get them to disband, but his efforts availed nothing. Dioueds Durie, a. leading planter, C. M. Hark, clerk of the district court, and live or six friends were in trout of Durie's house. "I was under a tree* with my chil dren." said Durie'. "Suddenly thirty regulators, led bv one Reed, passed my house. They stopped behind a clump of tre-es and 1 went out in the held to see what they were doing. When near them they iiivel six sliois at me. My friends came to my as sistance and we returned ten or twelve' shots. We then laid down and the regulators tired fully tifty shots at us, shooting my horse in two places. Half of them then ran away, the oth ers remaining behind in a group ami appeared to be helping some' one on a horse. 1 do not know whether we hit any ef them or not. We sent word to town for reinforcements, but when the Imys came' the regulators were out of sight." Mr. Thompson corroborated Mr. Durie's story, it is runtoreel thai two regulators were shot and one killeni. Impossible to verify the rumors. Ih'slini Oicr Mi,lit. Armed squads are on duty at every road entering the place and the cemrt house is a perfect arsenal. The Washington. La., boys, thirty strong, who came elown to tight with citizens against the regulators, have hurried home. A courier brings news that Washington is being surrounde'd and that the regulators are* creating con sternation among the inhabitants ef Belie»aire Save. AH day long there lias ne»t be'e'ii ti state' e»r parish officer, not even a constable' in town. It is impossible for a town to be in a more martial state. It is believeel now that the* regulators will not come into town until morning. There is l"»o armed men waiting for them. The dis trict attorney has sent word that his regulators will enter town to-morrow and that he has twenty Winche-sters at his buck to say: "No negro shall vote." If ever a situation demanded the presence' of militia the situation in this e-ity demands it. The anti-regu lators declare they will hold the* court house if it shall run in blood. The regulators have move'd back a mile or two iu the country from King bridge. The trouble grew out of the effort on the part of white Demoe-rats to prevent registration of the negroes. A military cemipan.v was sent there and the negro men were registered. They are in the majority and the movement of the regulators now is inteudi'd to prevent the ne-groes from voting.
