The PresTdenEs' (RePOrtedI) New
Departmental 40 be for
Universal Amnesty.
He Severely Condemns the High Handed
Proceedings IN Louisiana ard
Alabama.

New YORK, Nov. ia special To
says there is good reason for believing
that the President will in his forthcom-
ing message recommend Congress to
complete the work of amnesty by making
it universal, and restoring those to citi-
zenship who are not excluded by the
third section of the fourteenth amendment
TO the Constitution.
THE PRESIDENT on THE LOUISIANA MUD
DIE.
The United States Marshal at New Or
leans made application to the President
by telegraph Saturday last for troops to
aid him in arresting certain persons who
were conspiring against the election laws,
and who manifested an intention to re-
sist the Federal authorities. The Presi-
dent promptly refused to comply with
this request, deeming such action entire
ly unnecessary, especially when there
was no information showing that the
civil authorities were powerless to exc
cute the laws and punish those who at
tempt to violate them;
AND IN ALABAMA
The action of the United States Marshal
in Alabama in arresting Democratic
mem beers of the Legislature for alleged
violation of the election laws, and carry
ing them to Mobile to prevent quorum
of the Legislature, is severely condemn
ed here by the administration as unwise,
unnecessary, and perhaps illegal. If the
account of the affair as telegraphed
North is correct, the Marshal VINO made
the arrests will receive a severe repri-
mand, if not greater punishment of be-
ing dismissed from the office. Such is
the expressed view of Attorney General
Williams.

city and will arrive here tomorrow morn
