The order of Secretary Welles. prohibiting
collections Of money for political purposes
from workmen in the navy yards, is publish.
ed The Secretary notices the attempt TO
justify this practice by the claim that it has
heretofore been practiced under all parties,
but he does not consider the excuse Of any
validity, and therefore orders that an imme-
diate stop be put to the abuse. The navy
yards are to be kept free from political ma
neuvering, and no persons will be allowed to
resort to them for the purpose of electioneer-
ing or to collect funds 10 advance the interests
of candidates for Office
The Secretary has also issued circular.
which we have already noticed, directing tha,
hereafter all applications for the positions of
master workmen must be made to the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Some new complications seem to have
arisen in Louisiana affairs,s Provisional Gov
ernor Wells has made some doubtful appoint
lnetts, in Gen. C6Hf opininn, and he
therefore calls for the political antecedents of
the appointees before allowing them to enter
upon the duties of their Offices. Gen. Sheri-
dams understood to approve his proceed
ings.
The President is reported to have sent for
Secretary Stanton, en hearing of the imbrog-
lilo, and inquired with some warmth whether
the interference of the military commanders
was by order of the War Department. Mr..
Stanton disclaimed any and all interference
and left the onus on either Gen. Candy or
Gen. Sheridan. According to the report Of
the affair, President johnson is determined
to support Gov. Wells and to tolerate no in
reference with his legitimate duty.
The garrison Of Washington is at present
composed OF seven regiments Of the Veteran
Reserve Corps THE 7th, 9th, 10th, 18th, 18th,

Of United States infantry, and the l95th and

Ohio volunteers, numbering in the aggregate
abont 1900 men. The 9TH United States
cavalry is on duty at Gen. Grnnt's headauar-
tiers. The duty required Of these troops is
light, 1t being no more than patroling Long
Bridge and doing guard duty at the White
House, and the various stock houses, where
surplus government horses are kept. As this
property is fast being disposed Of at auetion
