A Washington special to the st. Louis
Times saws:
The state of affairs in Louisiana Is causing
trouble in the administration. Governor
WarmOth's interview with the President to-
day was not at all assuring to the latter
and when Parker and Carter called Grant
was thrown entirely out OF temper. ne
first result of all this will be the withdrawal
of Parker's nomination as surveyor OF New
Orleans and the giving it to some co1orcd
man. The need Of csnciliating the colored
people while so large portion OF the white
Republicans. refuse to support the admins
tration is felt.
This is in Washington specia! to the
New York Her"M'
Lieutenant Governor Plnclback. of
louisiana who is also president Of the Re
publican State Committee, is coming to
Washington in Search of Presidential aid to
unite the severed party and carry the State
for Grant in November. 1t is known that
Governor WarmOth, who is now here, but
does not visit the White House, will abide
by the State committee, whatever its ac-
ton; and it is belived by the politicians
who are anxious for Cancellation that If the
President will direct the federal officers at
New Orleans to abate their arrogance to-
d
considerations of official and personal re-

The same correspondent telegraphs on
the eighteenth:
Governor WarNoth of Louisiana was
on the floor OF the House to-day. He ex-
poets to return to New York in a day or
two, and will start from there for Louisiana
in about a fortnight. When asked if he
intended to 90 to the Cincinnati cOnven-
ton, he said he could not tel at present,
and that it would depend upon eli cum
stances.
The st. Louis Times says editorially:
1t is clear the administration is alarmed
with regard to its prospects in Louisiana.
several events during the past week have
made this decidedly conspicuous. The chief
of these events is the withdrawal OF the
application OF John IL. &. Parker for the
position of surveyor of New Orleans, which
was telegraphed last night. This follows
closely upon the withdrawal OF George W.
Carriers application for the same position,
and the noticeable feature OF the action OF
each is the recommendation that the Office
shall be given to some representative
colored man OF the State, and that a fur
tier and more generous distribution OF OF
fees TO that wing of the Radical party in
Louisiana shall take place The convention
of Grants party in Kentucky refused to
make a like recommendation for that State:
the coiored element was entirely ignored
by them in Kansas, and Missouri only gave
them back seats as alternates. but in Louis
lana il is found necessary to employ entire
ly different tactics. When brother-in-
law of Ben Butler sacrifices his office for a
negro. or any cue else. there is no doubt
the case is desperate.
