WASHINGTON, Dec l6 1872.
The emissaries and supporters OF Governor War
moth in Louisiana are not yet disposed 10 give up
the game. They refuse to believe that the Presi-
dent, after due delieration, has 1nally and ire
versbly Determined to employ the forces OF the
government, as authorized by the acts OF Congress-
in compelling obedience to the decrees and orders
Of the United States Courts at New Orleans. These
DEGREES and orders restrain Governor War
moth In his late revolutionary course and
recognize the Returning Board OF Elec-
tions constituted under the state law in
existence at the date Of the election. The Presi-
dent declares therefore that he must follow the
action OF the Judiciary Department OF the govern
ment and as chief executive give full effect TO it's
mandates He says he has not stepped aside and
exerted any extraordinary power not warranted
by law. Every thing he has done Is in strict pur
suance OF the constitution and statute law. on
Friday last Mr.. H. N. Ogden, claiming to have been
elected Attorney General OF Louisiana on the War
moth ticket, and Mr.. Aleck Boarman, claiming to
have been elected as member OF Congress
from the Shreveport district called to see
the President and Attorney General Will
Jams on this subject. The former pre-
sented to the Attorney General written
statement protesting against the action OF the gov
ernment In recognizing Mr.. Pnchback as the Act
ing Governor OF Louisiana, and asked for modif-
cation Of the policy adopted in that report. This
statement OF Mr. Ogden has been published. u
was received by the Attorney General in respect
ful manner, but the author OF 1t was informed in
decided terms that the policy Of the government
was fixed and would not be departed from. Not
withstanding this and the Attorney Generals de-
spatch to Mr.. McEnery at New Orleans, it is re.
ported that thirty-seven citizens Of that place
started for Washington yesterday morning
as O delegation from certain bankers. money
brokers' capitalists, property-holders and traders
OF New orleans, who are commissioned to present
O statement of what they call 'the true status, OF
affairs In New Orleans, and to protest against the
interference OF the President in the government Of
their State. This delegation is composed OF gen.
tlemen of the highest respectability in Louisiana,
among whom are found such names as Hon. John A.
Campbell an ex-Associate Justice OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States and General Richard
Taylor, son of the late President OF the United
States and brother-in-law Of Jefferson Davis.
They win be courteously received by the President
no doubt but their mission will be unavailing. The
President says he Is already fully and accurately
informed to the condition Of affairs In Louisiana,
and is quite well satisfied Herewith since the over
throw OF its late Governor. The distinguished
citizens OF Louisiana urgently desired the Presl-
dent to do this last January; but it was not pos
sible at that time to comply with their wishes.
There had been no judicial action against Warmoth
in January, and the President did not think it
proper to interfere; but now, aimee the Courts
have been moved to take action and have decided
against warmoth, the President regarded II as his
duty to respond to the request made to him for
military force TO aid in the execution Of these JUDI
cia orders.
There have been 80 many misstatements made
in the press with regard to Presidential action in
this Louisiana matter that Attorney General Will
liams to-day prepared and gave to the public =
brief statement thereof, as published below, EN-
bodyng the facts as they are understood by the
administration. The decision Of the Supreme Court
in this matter has been foreshadowed by your
correspondent IT refuses Governor Warmoth's
application on the ground that any errors com.
mitted by Judge Duren can ne corrected when the
case shall come up on appeal. The Executive and
Judicial departments Of the government are, there.
