Senators in this city that he apprehends diff
Guilty ON reassembling of the State Legislature
next month. The New Orleans thugs and
rebel plug-uglies threaten to "clean out" the
Republican members of that body if they at
tempt to meet and transact business. The
Louisiana Senators will communicate with
Gen. Grant and Secretary Schofeld regarding
this report tomorrow. The Supervisor of the
Louisiana district telegraphs the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue that he has suspended from
Office Ernest Boulting, Collector of I'd district
of Louisiana for neglect of duty, embezzlement
of public money and fraud. This is the second
suspension of revenue officials that Mr. Crerey
has made within fortnight in addition to a
seizare of $4,000 worth of tobacco whose
owners were caught attempting to cheat the
government. Mr.. Crerey has held his present
office one month only and the manner in which
he has begun the fight against the corrupting
OF government officials in New Orleans and
neighborhood, is highly satisfactory to Secre-
tary McCullock and Commissioner Rollins
He writes here that so far he has failed to find
an honest government official in Louisiana.
