The Loutsta Emeute.
The department OF Justice processes
to look upon the reported Louisiana
outrages with the greatest incredulity.
The Attorney General said to-day that
he had received no official inform alton
OF the outrages, aud they are alleged to
be greatly exaggerated Tor political pur-
poses. Tue President is reported as
saying that II the difficulties are as Sc
rious as stated in the newspaper dis
patches, he will order the Federal troops
to interfere, not in behalf OF either party
but simply to preserve the peace. Much
nervous anxiety is expressed in all Ad-
ministrstion quarters as TO the extent
or truth of the reported troubles.

The Pacific Railroad Suits.
1t is generally conceded by lawyers
who have examined the matter that
the Government will be completely
brsten in its suits against the Pacific
Railroad Company. To oppose such
LAWYERS as Messrs. Ashton, Perry and
Senckes the railroad companies have
engaged the best legal tslent-men like
EyarIs, Gushing aud Curtis besides their
own r. gular counsel. Aside from this,
It is generally believed that the law Is
on the side OF the railroad companies.
The blunder in attempting to prosecute
the company is partly attri buiable to
Congress, and partly to the Attorney
General.
