STATE OF LOUISIANA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

70 His Exceilency Andrew johnson, President OF the
United States -4.s
Sir-I have the honor to forward to you, by Lieut.
Col John F. Deane of my staff the joint resolution
adopted by the General Assembly of this State the
lst day of August 1868. I also enclose herewith a
petition from number of the prominent and infuen-
tia citizens of north louisiana setting forth the hor
rible outages that daily being perpetrated in that
portion of the State, together with letter from the
Hon. G. w. Hudspeth, Attorney for the 9Th Judicial
District showing the state of affairs that exist there.
Also send other letters and papers, showing cleatly
that in many of the parishes there exists protec
ton for the citizens in courts, and that men are shot
down in the roads, in their homes, and elsewhere,
without question being asked any steps taken to
bring the offenders justice. The Judge OF the 18th
Judicial District refuses to 60 to the parish of Frank
lin unless force is sent with him to protect him from
violence and he is not obnoxious personal or po-
ltcal grounds, for in politics be opposed to the
new constitution. He is life long citizen of the
State The sheriff of the parish of franklin, Demo-
hjaS TO INV
arrest discharge the duties Of his office account
Of the condition of affairs there. Prominent Union
men in the parish Of Caddo write that their homes
beset by desperados and that their lives and prop
erty have thus far been saved from destruction only by
armed men, By the letter of Mr.. Hudspeth, District
Attorney for the sh Judicial District it is shown that
men, women and children have recently been murdered
in the parish of St. Landry, by bands of larmed men,
who remain thus far unpunished and unmclested.
The enclosed newspaper Democratic journal pub
lished in Madison parish shows clearly the condition
of affairs there in corroboraon of the statements
contained in the petition of Judge Crawford, Judge
Wylie and other gentlemen Of north Louisiana. From
the very best information Mr.. President, l have no
doubt but one hundred and fifty men have been mur-
dered in Louisiana in the last month"; and, half start
ling this statement is letters of the most reliable
character fully confirm it. There seems to be a set
tied determination the part of those men who ad-
hered to the rebellion to either kill drive away the
Union white and leading colored men, to be
able terrfy the of the colored people and
to vote them they shall direct There is secret
organisation throughout the State known as theK W.
c. the full details OF which, questions, OATH &c. Col.
Deane will explain to you. It is founded for the pur
pose of placing and keeping the colored people in
condition Of inferiority, and with view to this end
contempates and designs the precipitation of con-

transpired that the mob which threatened the Legis
lature weeks ago were only prevented from re-
enacting the Of 5Oth July, 1866, by the pres
of United States troops. 1t was the deliberaon
Of this secret organisation TO assassnate the Lieuen-

that there is mcditated bloody revolution the cer
