New York, Jauuary 1.?A Times\ New Orleans despatch aaya that it is rumored that there will be an attempt made to inaugurate the MoEnery State officials on the 9th instant, and trouble is anticipated. The World saya that teveral of the sub-committee of the Louisiana delega? tion are still in this oity, and are daily receiving assurances that the people of I the North are beginning to thoroughly understand their cause and the situation of affairs iu Louisiana. They pronounce aeverai telegrams from New Orleans by way of Washington, which assert that the people of New Orleans and Louisi? ana have quietly acquiesced in tho situa? tion, to be untrue. A despatch from Washington to tbe Tribune says that some Lonisiaua Libe raid are now in this oity discussing the shortest wuy out of tho political muddle tin that State. They say that matters have become so muoh mixed up there, that they oan see no method or remedy except iu a sort of reconstruction. They propose that Congress pass a resolution I declaring that tho republican form of government no longer exists in Louisi ana, and thut it then proceed to order a new eleotion. The Sun, to-day, calls upon Congress to make a thorough investigation into the Louisiana case wheu it re-assembles. Tho Sun refutes the assertion that it is useless to investigate the causes of the quarrel in Louisiana, and says that this disposition to shrink from the discharge of a great daty like that whioh has arisen in that State is an alarming bigu of the times. So that to say that a thorough discussion of this Louisiana business will do no good, is simply an excuse for neglecting a duty whose per? formance requires Bkill and nerve.

Of course, whe^Ibave patronage to bestow, other things being equal, 1 shall give suoh patronage to my party friends, judiciously and in a man? ner consistent with the privileges of my office.

Wheu I cannot fill the office from my own party acceptably to myself, I shall then consider it my duty to select a good man from tho opposite party, and I know every good and true Republican in the State of North Carolina will approve my determination in this respect. I hopo, however, that I will bo able to find iu our own party intelligent, well educated and honest men enough to fill these offices. I desire, iu conclusion, to ten? der to you, and through you to the peo? ple of North Carolina, my most sincere thanks for the generous manner in which you bestowed your suffrages upon me for the highest office within tho gift of the people, and to give assurance that in the discharge of my duties I shall have an eye single to tho interests of my beloved Stute and to all her citizens, without re? gard to party ; and while I olaim no im? munity from just criticism, I bespeak, in advance, a fair hearing and an honest judgment from tho public."
