NEW ORLEANS, 20.-A telegram
from Gen. Grant is promulgated by
Gen. Buchanan in the form Of an
order for instruction and guidance
Of all concerned. Grant approves
course both in regard
to the State and municipal govern
ments. He says officers elected can
not be installed until the State is ad-
until then the State |
is provisional, and en-
tirely under Buchanan's control.
He leaves the matter of oaths to be |
taken by the new officers entirely |
to Buchanan judgment. Hc sug- |
gests, however, that the oath pre-
5cribed by the new constitution only |
should be required. This latter sug- |
ifallowed, will permit many |
officers to qualify who could not
do so.
