LoUIsIAsA's CALL FOR TROOPS.
Governor Warmouth's official requisition on |
the President tor a military force with which
10 secure peace in Louisiana, was presented /
yesterday by Lieut.. Col. John +. Deane of the
Governors stah Gov. Yarmouth encloses |
various letters from citizens and State officers
setting firth the horrible outrages that are
daily 2erpetrated in different parts of the |
. ate. The Governor says that IN MANY of |
the parishes there is no protection for the cti-
sens in the Courts, that men are shot down ON
the roads ana at their homes and no stems are
taken to bring the offenders to justice, A Sc |
cret organization has been started for the DUR |
pose OF keeping colored men in condition of |
1nferiority, and its members design to precipi-
tate conflict between the two races. There
are military branches of this secret organic
ton in the City of New Orleans. The members
drill openly in the streets at night or public
halls. The mob which threatened the Legis-
lature lew weeks since was only prevented |
from re-enacting the scenes of 1866 by the |
presence OF the U. s. troops. 1t was the de-
hberate intention OF this organization to assas-
sinate the Lieut.. Governor and Speaker of the
Housa OF Representatives, for having decided |
preliminary questions in a manner obnoxious
to them.
In conclusion, the Governor says he believes |
bloody revolution is meditated, and he asks |
Ior TWO regiments OF cavalry, regiment of In /
fantry, and a battery of artillery to enable him
TO repress violence, arrest criminals and pro- |
tect the officers of the law. He believes few |
examples of condign punishment would secure |
peace IN the State as soon as the political cam
paign is over.

johnson and Col. Deane, of Louisiana a men,

lana, which furnished credentials to Col |
Deane. Without giving Gov. Warmouth's |
messenger any official assurances, the Presi- |
dent expresses the opinion thai the course he |
pursued in regard to Tennessee would be |
adapted to Louisiana and other Southern |
States, namely, that upon proper application |
the Federal troops, of which there are suffic- |
lent number in the South, would be used un |
der Federal control for the suppression of dis |
orders The documents presented by Col |
Deane were referred to the War Department.
and the matter remains in allegiance until Gen
Schoteld returns on Saturday.

which has been in session at Baltimore. adj
lourned last night. Arrangements were made |
Tor an organization OF the colored people in the
border States, with a view to securing uIti- |
mately their political rights, and for holding |

nUMoRs RELATIVE TO COMMISSIONER ROLLINS
There has been considerable excitement to- |
day in various circles relative to the accep-
lance by the President of the resignation of |
Mr.. Rollins, of the Internal Revenue office |
aud much anxiety has prevailed with regard
to the rumored appointment of a new Com
missioner. 1t was reported and widely circu-
lated this afternoon that Mr.. johnson has des-
ignated a Commissioner I'D interim, but upon
inquiry it is ascertained that so far there has
been no appointment, and in all probability
will not be for two or three days if so soon.
The belief Is expressed that the ATTORNEY
General will give his opinion as to whether,
under the law, the office is now vacant, and
that until such opinion is stated there will be
no further action by the President. Mr. Rol-
Inns is still absent from Washington, and Dep
uty Commissioner Harland is in charge of the
office. Different impressions prevail whether
or not Mr.. Rollins will retire in case the At
torney General officially pronounces the Office
vacant.
THE VACATION.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-The Tribaaes WASH
ington despatch says the executive branches OF
the government are nearly all away. There
were to-day but two members of the Cabinet
in town and by Saturday but one will be left
Next week the President end part of his fami-
ly will leave for trip of ten days to the sea-
shore or mountains.
THE PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.
The July putt lie debt report is not publish
ed to-day, owing to errors discovered after it
had been made up, it will probably be out
Friday. The decrease in the coin surplus will
not be as large as has been anticipated, owing
70 the receipts from customs for two months
and the fact that the payment for Alaska Of
over seven millions in gold is not included In
the July account.
