SCENE OF DEEDS OF BLOODY VIOLENCE.
General Sherman hesitated about subjectpg
troops lately arriving IN that section Of the coun.
Try TO the dangers OF such an epidemic as scourged
shreveport and Its vicinity last season, nor
was 1t believed at headquarters that the
Tears Of the Loulsanfans as TO the inten-
tlon OF the white ieaguers would be
realized. Therefore the troops were held in readl-
ness throughout the summer to repress any overt
:, act and the moral eject OF their presence not
being felt and the President having refused 10 in-
terfere in the political complications OF Texas and
Arkansas, 1t was taken Ior granted that 1t was not
the intention OF the federal authorities to a1ord
AID TO the State government OF Louisiana. Tne
PRESIDENT, too, thought that the near presence OF
the troops In Mississippi would be snfhcient; but
by the circular issued to-day It would appear that
the Judgment OF those most conversant with the
people and locality where The ontrages were COM
United would have been the saler guide.

LONG BRANCH N j., Sept. 8, 1874
Senator Patterson and other representatives of
South Carolina, Ex-Governor Warmoth, OF LOuisi-
ana, and Bouds Baker. OF Texas left Long Branch
to-day. The delegates OF South Carolina had an In
terview with the President, at which Attorney
General Williams was present. Tne President ex-
pressed his disnclinatOn to in terfere in Southern
affairs with federal troops, except in extreme
cases; at the same time he declared his determi-
nation to enforce the law and maintain peace
where it might be necessary unaer the PROVISIONS
or the constitution. Williams was
FAVORABLE TO STRONG MEASURES
during the canvass and election. BOulds Baker,
chairman OF the Republican State General COM
mittee OF Texas represented the condition OF that
State as critical, .he democrats as imDued With
the spirit of 1851, enemies Of the country,
and only concealing their real sentiments Tor eX-
pediency's sake. The republican party of the state
can be easily united and carry the State with the
aid OF the true friends of the Union OF both parties
but, IN order TO do this, the mistakes OF the ad-
State must be remeded. Baker appoint
ment, Cut only urges the removal OF improper per-
sons and the appointment OF respectaDle citizens.
The President promised to inquire into the al
legged grievances.
THE GENERAL OPINION
Ia that nothing Will be done, the President belev-
ing that II he turns out the present officials it will
only create another division OF the party lully as
privately expresses the opinion that the troubles
In the South are exaggerated for political pur-
poses. Williams uses his efforts to impress the
President with The seriousness OF the situation.
Vice President wilson Is here, the guest OF
Mr.. Chids, OF Philadelphia To-day he dined with
DreXel, and returns to New York to morrow. He
believes the southern troubles exaggerated, and
thinks 1T the best policy to leave the South alone,
as he believes the returning prosperity will bring
peace and goodwill among citizens OF oil colors.
He deprecates any policy on either side that can
lead to q war OF races.
