W. L. Green, Edward Williams, James II h..
Laws, and Cain Sartain, called upon the
PRESIDENT to-day for the purpose OF paying
their respects. They were introduced to the
President by senator West, who stated that
the delegation embraced many of the intelli-
gent working Republicans In the State. lie
then introduced Col. James Lewis, who pro-
cecs!cd TO address the President, and said the
delegation came to pay their respects and
thank him on behalf of the colored people Of
Louisiana FOR the care and protection they
have received from him since his presidential
term commenced. He hoped that he might
long enjoy the blessing Of good health, and
that the co!ored men might continue to re.
crive his kind consideration and care
The President briefly responded saving
that he was glad to meet them. He had al
ways endeayored 10 secure for the colored
man all the rights which should accompany
eni.Rnchisemcnt. Certain rights are still
withheld, but he hoped that ere long they
would lind themselves in full possession Of
all the privileges which belong to frcemen.
lie said he did not know what Congress
would do in the matter, but he thought it
likely that that body would at its present
session pass civil rights bill. and that if
such bill is defeated, it will propably be
because an extreme measure is urged III some
person who claims to be particular friend
of the colored man.
Senator West then introduced the members
Of the delegation individually, and after hand
shaking they withdrew.
