A telegram from Gen. Grant is promulgated
by Genaral Buchanan, in Louisiana, IN the
shape Of an order for the guidance Of all con-
cerned. Grant approves Buchanan's course,
both in regard to city and State governments.
He says civil officers elected cannot be installed
until the State is admitted; that until then
the State government is entirely provisional,
and entirely under Buchanans cantrol. He
leaves the matter of oaths to be taken entirely
to Buchanan judgment; suggesting, however,
that the oath required by the new constitution
should be administered. This suggestion, il
adopted, will ALLOW many officers to qualify
who could not otherwise do Sos ! .g@a
