standing all that has been officially stated
with reference to the Louisiana troubles
there are intimations in quarters always we'll
informed that the President is not altogether
satisfied with the manner in which aspiring
politicians are ruling that State for their own
personal interest and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
that he will be very glad if Associate Justice
Bradley shall visit New Orleans during the
present recess of the Supreme Court and
make dispassionate and complete invcstiSa-
ton of the condition of affairs.
1t is now stated by persons very friendly
10 the President that the earnestneSs of the
committee that visited him yesterday after
noon, and the plain evidences of their devo-
ton to the material interests Of their State,
will work very surely to the overthrow of
the political ring now controlling matters in
Louisiana. The committee has made very
favorable impression in all quarters here, and
it is not Improbable that their industry and
earncstness in the cause Of justice towards
the people they represent will yet result in
Il production of official and popular senti-
r,cnt that is very desirable for the sake of
free Government. TIMoS.
