OmcIaI Chat
WASHINGTON, May II Much having
recently been said concerning The DR. sent
and prospective seton Of the President in
the troubles Of Louisiana, il may be stated
that the President has received 10 telegram
from Gov. Kellogg since las: Friday, when
the con itiOn Of affairs was represented as
somewhat improved. While th.re is fool
doubt that The President would intervene
to protect the State from domestic vio-
lence, should the Governor make appllca-
ton for that purpose, snd providing tho
facts should warrant the proceeding, it is
nevertheless the hope of the President, a.
he expressed himself to friend tO-nighs,
that all disturbances would soon cease. and
and that no such contingency as that con-
templ2ted by the constitution wOuli occur;
but if it unfortunately should, he would
take care to act clearly, WithiaIhe limit CT
the constitution and laws, as heretofore b.
had, and quietly sustain the decisions of
the courts.
