THE LOUISIANA TROUBLES.
Gov. WarmOth want ed % Have the
military 1t His DisPOsal-The
President Declined TO
Interfere.

The President received telegram from Gov
Warmoth last night transmitting a resolution
passed by the legislature requesting the Presi-
dent to place the military forces in the vicinity
of New Orleans at the disposal of the Governor.
The latter, therefore, asked that the request of
the legislature be complied with. The Presi-

Attorney General Williams, who forwarded the
following reply:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, January Is, 1S72.
His Ercellency, II. G. Wdrmoh,
GOrernor Of Louisiana, New Orleans.
SIR:-The President has referred to me your
dispatch of this date representing that the leg
islature of the state has asked to have the mill
tary forces Of the United States placed at your
Disposal to preserve the public peace, &c.
There is contest as to the legality of the
election Of the Lieutenant Governor, and also
as 20 the existence of the lower branch Of the
legislature, dispatches having been received
Eere from two persons each claiming to be
speaker thereof, and the President does not
feel that he would be justified in deciding those
questions at this time and under existing cir
eumstances; and is unwilling to interfere in
state matters with the military power of the
government except in clear case of legal right
and overriding necessity.
Very respectfully, your ob't seIv't,
GEO. ii. WILLIAMS, Attorney General.
A dispatch was received from New Orleans
this morning stating that in view OF the repeal of
obnoxious laws by the legislature yesterday ii is
hoped that harmony will be restored.

THE LATE PRINCE OF ERIE's LovE.-Sunday,
The nioDotony of newspaper reading was some
ahat enlivened by the production of a series of
ietters by contemporary, which were alleged
be the now notorious Fisk Stokes letters
The letters were probably written by Miss
Mansfield to Fisk, but il IL very evident to all
that they are not 'Me" letters; indeed, some
have gone so far as TO say that they were '.doc-
fored" up by Jay Gould for the purpose OF
making Stokes appear biacker. There is moth
ing extraordinary in these letters; there are
playful ones, and there are pitiless and penitent
mes, all portraying the soups and downs" of the
Prince OF Erie's life of infatuated love. Some
" them also show how treacherously "Josie"
obtained money from him, how faithful and at
tentive he was to her, and the company whom
he invited to dine with them at her house. Then
come the same old stories-quarrels, reconcil-
ations, and quarrels, and reconciliations again,
and then suddenly final break-off. The last
Of the long ile told the story of the quarrel the
action or Stokes after 1t, and the other events,
which finally led to the several suits which have
been brought before the public from time to
time.-N. Y. Express.

answer to the resolution of the Sth instant, in
regard to the proposed Jail for this District,
in which he gives its history and an account of
the work being stopped by Congress, and says
that Mr.. Allen, the contractor, has quantity of
building material at the wharves Of this city
ready for use. He has informed the Depart
ment of his readiness and desire to resume work,
but the Secretary has not felt at liberty to au-
thOrize the resumption. Secretary Delano says
Mr.. Allen appears to have a just claim for the
twenty per cent. upon the amount of work done,
which has been withheld pursuant to the terms
Of his contract, and to damages sustained by him
in consequence OF the n0n-eXecutiOn of his con-
tract. The balance of the appropriation on hand
for the erection of the building is S169, 143 .62.
The Secretary concurs in the views of his pre-
decessor in relation to the insecurity and unfit
ness Of the present Jail, and in relation to a new
Penitentiary quotes the recommendation of ex-
Secretary Browning for a new building, and
c"mmends the subject to the favorable inside
