WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-There is good reason
for believing that the President will, in his
forthcoming message, recommend Congress to
complete the work Of amnesty, by making it
universal, and by restoring those to citizenship
who are now excluded by the Third Section Of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
Such course has been urged upon the P1esi-
dent by several members of the Cabinet, and
one OF them is uthority for saying that he has

THE LOUISIANA tNDnOGLlO;
A United States Marshal at New Orleans made
application to the President, by telegraph; on
Saturday last, for troops to aid him in arresting
certain persons who we're conspiring against the
elections, and who manifested disposition to
resist the Federal authorities. The President
promptly refused to comply with this request,
deeming such action entirely unnecessary, es-
pecially when there WAS no information showing
that the civil authorities we're powezless to exc
cute the laws, and punish those who attempt to
violate them.
SEVERELY CONDEMNED.
The action OF the United States Marshal in
Alabama in arresting the Democratic members
Of the Legislature for alleged violation Of the
Election Laws, and carrying them to Mobile to:
prevent 8 quorum Of tbs Legislature,
is severely condemned here BY the
Administration as unWise, unnecessary,
and perhaps, Illegal II the account Of the af-
fair, as teleg1raphed North, is correct, the Mar
shal who made the arrests will receive severe
reprimand, lit not the greater punishment of
being dismissed from Office. Such is the e1-
pressed view Of Attorney General Williams.
