One telegram, partly in cipher, whioh was

had been mailed for the London office of the

Hotel Borne, and detectives were examined to
testify concerning the personal movements of

entire period of his stay in the city.

Vndauied by the Judicial KrmiAe?
The Cattoil Case.
Judge Swayne, of the United States Supreme
Court, authorises a denial of the report ot bis in- |
tended resignation. Bis health Is good and his ,
mind vigorous, and he does not feel the need of
rest. There is some reason to believe that persons I
anxious to get Mr. Brlstow out ot the Treasury,
and thinking It possible to persusde him to accept
a place on the supreme Bench, were the authors
01 the report about Judge Swayne. The stralgntlor
ward business course and direct, uncompromis
ing character of the Secretary of the Treasury, as
also his opinions on the currency and finance ques
tions, create a strong opposition to him: hut they
have also made lor him many strong friends. His
determination to ocunomue in the expenses of
administration, wherever he can, is likely to re
form tome surplus officers out of place, and baa
just oauaed Mr. Cattell and bis mends some dis
appoint ment. The Secretary oould not see, It is
said, tne need lor two financial sgents in London,
and he preferred Mr. Bigelow to Mr. Cattell, as
likely to be the more efiicieut. it Is understood
to be not impossible to drive Mr. Brlstow out of
the Treasury, bnt be will hardly be drawn out by
ttie offer of a seat on the Supieme Bench, nor
will he bo worried out by petty annoyances. If
he goes out It will be on a conflict of principle
or ol an important point in policy, and this does
not seem probable just now.

FLIGHT FROM THE CITY PfiEVEHTED.
NkW Ouleans, Dec. 13, 1874.
After all tbe preparations made lor attack on
tbe State House, none was made. But trie tear*
la not jret over. There were men on tne watch to
prevent any member* or the Returning Board
lrom deem? tbe city bclore proclaiming the result.
It they bad such an tnteution they abandoned it,
as they bad a secret Sunday session to-day. Why
tbey expect an attack on the State House is Inex
plicable, as tbe radicals are all at home nights,
and U violence were Intended lor them the mob
wonld go to tbelr bouses. Tbe leaguers ridicule
tbe Idea or charging upon the empty Capitol or
bunting any of tbe obnoxious men before Jan
uary.
McEnery to-day declares ibat tbe people will not
do it, and If tbe pent-up torrent or indignation
sets vent by lynching, within a 'day or two. It will
be done by men lor whose actions be and bis party
cannot be held responsible.
It will certainly not be done by tbe leaguers.
The fact tbat the streets, which every line Sun
day are crowded by young men, to-day ore almost
entirely deserted, is ominous of some mystery at
work. It is believed tbat tbey are congregated in
halls, mating some preparations of a secret char
acter.

New Ori-Eass, Dec. 13, 1874.
The mystery attending the absence from the
street of tbe White Leaguers is explained by tbe
fact tnat to-night two companies went to the
Jackson Railroad depot and scrutinized all the
passengers and examined all tne baggage to see
that tbe members ol the Returning Board do not
escape with the returns. All tbe steamers were
searched as well, and to-nlftht patrols are watch
ing all tne roads and ferries leading 'rom tne city.
It is rumoted that the people will to-morrow

aitboutfh the Board has not yet promulgated tbe

An tbe troops are to-night confined to their
quarters in anticipation oi trouble. There are
very few men on tbe streets at this writing, bat
trouble may occar later.
Apprehensions of Trouble in Washing*
ton?The Policy of the Whit* Leaguers.
Washington, Dec. 13, 1874.
The Loulsianlans in Washington express great
apprehensions of the action of tne White League,
and profess to believe tbat this organization will
move, whea it does, with such rapidity and secrecy
as to ontwlt tne lederal'troops. At the same time
It Is reported of the White Leaguers tbat tbey are
determined to come Into no conflict with the
federal authorities, and that, however strong tbey
may De, or however determined to act, a single
federal sergeant will always be sufficient to dis
perse tnem. Ibus the. mean to protest, but to
avoid rebellion, and as the right to bear arms and
to ireely meet in public.assemblies is sacred, If
tney act up to tneir promises they may annoy
Kellogg and his party without laying themselves
open to Interference.

Erie, Pa., Dec. 13, 1874.
Gilbert B. Perkins, an operator of the United

bronght to this city to-day two "sbovers" or the
"queer," named Benjamin P. Erway, or Harrison
Valley, Potter county, this State, and Nathan B.
Adams, ol Cole burg, same county, on a charge of
passing counterfeit money. Tbe fleid of their
operations was in Potter coanty, where tbere are
no banks within twenty.five miles of the scene of
their work. So much of the "queer" got afloat
tbat It may be called the currency of tbe place.
All tbe bills "shoved" were finely executed. Tuey
were counterfeit tens on the Trader's National
Bank or Syracuse, New York.
Perkins got on the track or Erway at Port *ria,
when be was hunting tbe Ballard gang, but, hav
ing larger game in view, did not arrest him. He
was seoured tn Potter county. Adams was ar
rested in McKean count* in this State. Perkins
captured blm, his only clew being a description.
Both men are snpposad to belong to tbe Ballard
gang of counterfeiters, all the bills being identified
as being made by tnat prince of counterfeiters,
Tom Baliard. The men are lodged here in jail, and

ever, to leave bis chamber and k<> to b'.a private
parlor, where he remained about Ave minutes,
when be was attacked by tue cougti which is a
symptom or bis Illness, and was obliged to return
to his couch.
H13 CONDITION AND AILMENT.
Dr. Tamer, ot the navy, wno is now his attend
ing physician, made a thorough examination of
his lungs to-day, a9 some anxiety had been felt by
his intimate attendants lest ihe disease should '
have secured a firm and dangerous hold
upon his system. They were gratified, there
lore. to learn that the naval surgeon lound
them to be in a perfectly sound condition. On the
long Journey lrom tne Pacific to the Atlantic His
llajesty caught a severe cold, lrom the effect or
which ho is now suffering, having contracted a
very aggravated soreness of the throat.
SOCIAL FORMALITIES POSTPONED.
It had been intended by the President to call
for bim and take him to church, but this project
bad, ot course, to be given up, as His MtUesty was
still so much mdlsposed. It is not probable this
evening that he will be able to make bis intended
call on the President to morrow morning, and the
evenlna reception has already been postponed.
HIS MAJESTY'S ETIQUETTE.
The President praceiully set the King at ease to*
day by sending him a message by Secretary flib
that if the King remained too 111 to-morrow to go.
out the President would waive ceremony and call'
upon him at the Arlington. The King, however,
preferred to observe the strict etiquette oy making
the first call himself.
THE SECRETARY'S compliments.
The Secretary also conveyed to the King an ex.
presslon ot hi* own sympathy with bis affliction,
and a hope that he would soon recover hla accus
tomed health.

Dr. Turner to-day stated that the royal visitor
might be well enough for presentation to the
President to-morrow, but did not think it advisa
ble that he shonld undergo any other fatiguing
exertion on the same day.
THE ENTERTAINMENT OF his MAJESTY.
The arrangement or the programme for the en
tertainment of His Majesty will now depend en
tirely upon the state of bis health. it is His
Majesty's intention, while m hub country, to wear
in publlo simply a plain citizens' dress of blaok,
and on official visits probably the stars of two for
eign oiders of which be is a member. The two
Governors, Domlnls and Kapena, will, however, on
officlul visits, appear in the rather gorgeous uni
form which the Scotchman Wylie invented lor the
Island dignitaries.

The King will spend about ten days in Washing*
ton, but he has not yet determined what city he
will visit after departing hence.
