TIE President and the louisiana War.
Troubles Of the COlored Cadet-Ciyil-
Service Reform Attacked.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, December 14.-The Louisi-
ana imbroglio still excites great attention
here. The officials insist that the President
will not change bis mind upon any argument
which may be advanced to him, and the
Attorney-Gen SO informed Attorney
General Ogden, of Louisiana, to-day. Under
the circumstances, it appears almost proba-
BILE should the committee Of one hundred
from that State, who were appointed to visit
the President, arrive in this city that they
will be declined hearing.
Secretary Robe>o has written long order
In relation to the treatment of the colored
cadet Congers at the Naval Academy, where
in, after reading the midshipmen very caus-
tic lecture upon their conduct towards their
black official associate, he says the Govern
ment does not attempt to control the per-
sona feelings nor regulate the personal asso-
citation of any of its officers; but while it cx-
acts obedience from those whose services and
characters deserve the highest consideration,
it cannot submit to open defiance from the
youngest of its beneficiaries. Certainly the
President Will not tolerate at the Academy,
under any circumstances, a spout of rebel.
lion against authority, and whenever such a
spout is manifested in overt action, summary
and invariable punishment must be expected.
The House of Representatives have passed
one of those delectable days for debate only.
To-day civil-seryice reform was abused by a
western member, who stated it fraud and
a cheat, because it ignored the colored ele-
ment at the South and Delegate Shipman,
from this district, asked leave to print re-
marks on district interests. These made the
sum total of the days proceedings. TrMoN.
