The President occasionally interrupted the reading OF
the address with inquiries and comments In which, as
members Of the delegation state, he seemed
to show "some piss In favor Of those Of
whom the wsffnoth men came to complain"
At the close he requested o copy of the
address, which given him. and friendly converse
cn ensued in the Of which the President stated
very fully his views in regard to the matter The dele
CATION, upon withdrawing, held private meeting at
their hotel at which minute account Of all that had
said In the interview written out In order that
1t may be hereafter furnished for publication. The sub
stance of the Presidents remarks stated by leading
members Of the delegation to have been as folowsi
He said that the address presented formidable array
of charges against the Federal officials in Louisiana.
and that he would ct once send them @ copy Of It, In
order have their answer before taking any action In
the He had not authorized the of the troops
any purpose at the time Of the Convention. Gen.
Reynolds, commanding the military district, and whose
headquarters we're at Houston, Texas, had
received telegram from Marshal Packard
informing him that the public buildings
in New-Oreans were In danger OF being injured, and
requesting that troops be detailed TO guard them. Gen
Reynolds, knowing nothing about the holding Of the
Convention, complied with the request, ordered the
desired dispositions Of the troops and at tele
Rraphed to the Department copies of his orders and
of the dispatch from Marshal Packard. The President
was satisfied that Gen. Reynolds had acted from entirely
proper motives being ignorant that the troops were to
be used at political convention.
To the remark Of delegate to the effect that Packard
had claimed be acting under the highest sanction and
that kilograms had sent to Washington asking that
instructions sent the President replied that he had
received no such kilograms and In fact had been una
ware that the troops had been used until he the state
ment in the newspapers.
The members of the delegation which is composed OF
IL white and coored persons express entire satisfac
ton with their reception by the President, and conf
dent belief that after investigation he will make sun
dry changes in the Federal offices In louisiana as to
promote harmony in the party. They say they DO
not ask that friends Of Gov. warmoth be selected In
appointing new men to positions held by the officials
complained of-they only ask that changes be made.
They expressly decline to commit themselves on the
question Of the denomination OF President Grant, aver
ring simply that they support the nomination.
The dele cation returned to this city yesterday evening
and will pl oceed to New-Oreans tonight.
