Snap Judgment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l4-The President
has received the memorial Of the citizens
committee of Now Orleans, setting forth
their grievances. The memorial was soon
after given to the Attorney General. In
formation that the committee viii start for
Washington probably to-day was also re-
ceiyed, but judging from what was said this
morning by Attorney General Williams,
their mission will be futile, as the govern
ment will inlexibly support the Pinchback
government. The department of justice
has closely investigated the facts and is sat
istied with the course of the Administra-
tion. Gen. Emery last night telegraphed
the President that danger of a collision ex-
listed between the police and militia, and
asked for Instructions. He was instructed
in effect not to take sides with either party,
but to be in readiness to preserve the peace
and TO interfere only for that purpose.
