WASHINGTON, juno 9Th G
special Lcvee Commissioners of
Louisiana on behalf of tho Govern
ment Of that State, and the Board
of Leveo Commissioners recently
appointed by Governor Wells, has
presented Il petition to the President
asking him to reverse Sheridan s
order deposing Governor Wells ap-
pointces and appointinga new Board
of Levec Commissioners. The peti-
tion sets forth that in pursuance of
the laws of Louisiana the Governor
of that State appointed a Board of
Commissioners to manage tho re-
pairs Of the levees and that the
Governor and his Commissioners
are prevented from prosecuting this
work by the intervention of an Or
der issued by Sheridan on the Sd of
Eay, 1867, which order abolished
the Board of Commissioners ap-
pointed by Wells, and appoints an
other Board and directs the latter to
receive from Governor Wells ap-
pointees the property, &c. That at
the time Of and imme ediately preced-
ing of Sheridan's order, the Govern
Or Of Louisiana and his Levee Com
missioners were faithfully perform
ing their special duties according
to the intent and meaning of the
laws Of said State, and were now
under the operation of the laws of
Congress nor had they refused or
neglected to perform any of the
functions of their Office, nor were
they hindering or obstructlng any
of the officers Of said State, or for
the United States, from execution of
the State or Federal laws. That
said order of Sheridan was wholly
unauthorized by the laws, and is an
unwarrantablo assumption of pow
err that at the time that Sheridan's S
order was issued the agent of Lou
isiana was successfully negotiating
loans on bonds provided for that
purpose by that State; that in con
sequence Of tho action of Sheridan,
and tho doubt and uncertainty re-
sulting as to the tenure and legality
of the New Board of Commissioners,
these negotiations ceased. That the
damage to the property and the suf-
tering OF the people was almost in
calculabo that the regular courts
in and for tho State of Louisiana,
were open at the date of Sheridan's
order, and were previously, and that
they had been open ever since, and
are competent TO hear and determine
anyycontroversy Of litigation, if any
shall arise rs to the powers of the
Governor or the legality of the acts
of his Lovee. Commissioners that
Sheridan's Commissioners have or
ganized and demanded from Gov
ernor Wells and his appointees, the
surrender of property, &C., pertain
ing TO their trust, including four,
millions dollars in bonds; thatthcre
is reason for apprehending q diff
Guilty and conflict of authority be-
tween Wells State officer and Gen
eral Sheridan.s Board; that the in
tercst of Louisiona and her people
will bo jeopardizcd if Sheridan shall
be permitted to enforcc an order
compelling the surrender of said
bonds to an illegal Board. And
finally, for the reasons set forth, tho
petitioners ask that the order of
Sheridan be revoked, and that the
State authorities be permitted to
proceed in the execution Of the laws
Of the State on this showing. The
President, yesterday, referred the
petition to the Secretary of War, for
early consideration and action, with
the direction that all further pro-
ceedings by the Sheridan Board, be
suspended until further information.
