The purported interview published il
the New York Tribune Of the 9th inst.
regarding the Presidents proclaim atior
is incorrect. Ny requisition calling OF
the President was fully justified anc
the Presidents proclamation hat
had q most salutory effect in all re-
spects, the taxes being paid in more
rapidly than ever before in Louisiana
After providing for the January and
February interest, l have over $3.50, O,OO(
iu State funds to. night in the hands Of
the fiscal agent. will pay the March
April and June coupons early in July
Injunctions only restrain the payment
of the interest on the five series o.
bonds out of twenty-five. I have money
enough to pay the interest on all bonds
in the hands OF the fiscal agent.

Governor.
The United States Commission ap-
pointed to investigate the outrages on
the Texas frontier arrived here this
morning and reported to the Secretary
Of State. The commission will remain
here until the Let of July to complete
their reports, which will then be pre-
sented to the president.
A pardon was issued to-day to Elias
Bitnerell, an alleged burglar.
The following is the texture Of q let
ter from q U. S. official at Fort Clark
Texas, to a Government official in this
city received here to-day:
Since the deserved whipping ant
route of the Kickapoos on the camp
ing ground near the Ssnte Mountain
by our troops under General Mckenzie
the Indian and Mexican depredation'
at this portion OF the frontier, for th'
time being, have entirely ceased. Th'
troops are more than ordinarily vigilan
in their operations along the Rio Grande
General Mckenzie being now absen
from the post with several OF his com
panies in close proximity to il
banks and carefully scouting tn
movements, by the aid OF experienced
guides, OF the Mexioan.depredatOrs VIII
threaten the United States With wide
sprerd devastation in revenge for th'
destruction of their savage allies mt
the capture of their squaws and child
rem who trust may be retained by th'
government OF the United States a.
hostages ior their future good conduct
In anticipation of the pending devasta'
ton preparations have been surely anc
silently made for the reception Of th'
Indians. The Kickapoos have aban'
doned their old camping ground, anc
betaken themselves to the recesses o
the mountains for better security agaius
the operations ofthe troops and to have
better rendezvous IN their depredationa
on the United States. To reach them
now our troops would have to pass
through narrow defiles OF the pre-.
cipitous mountains and this renders
reaching there hazardous and almost
impracticable matter. The excitement
among the Mexican people will no
doubt in time subside, as they awaken
to a sense of the right and justice OF
Nick enzie's act. 1t is still very higt
and an opinion is heard among tn,
influential and intelligent which woulc
portend q troublesome and disagreeable
future. =,
Alta meeting OF the citizens held a
Sarragossa, the capital OF the State o
Colahun, for the purpose OF petitioninf
the government OF that State to maxi
an official demand on our governmen
for a return of the Indian captives ia
ken by Mckenzie. The meeting wa
yery turbulent. The action OF our gov
ernment was condemned in the strange
est terms and our people upbraidet
with a full share of accusation. 1gno
rant of our immense powe
and unconscious OF thel
weakness, they very profusely demand
ed every reparatiop, the return Of th'
captives, the surrender of Mckenzl
and the officers of his command, unde
penalty Of being tcourged with crue
and devastating war. However, IN

the Mexican party prevailed and the
