that most difficult problem of protec-

to enforce party discipline, they should
encourage among themselves individ-

AS soon as every one of them casts his
vote on this side or the other, as his
opinions or inclinations may dictate,
each party will make their protection
special object, in order to attract n
majority of their votes, and when
these votes shall have become so nu-
merous that colored voters become an
important element, in both parties the
fullest measure of protection will be
afforded them. That will do more to
stop bloodshed and excuses in the
south than any military intertcrences,
and do more to establish just and ben
eficial relations between the two races
than any congressional legislation.
NEW ORLEANS September 25.-The
following correspondence passed be-
tween General Emory and Marshal
Packard to-day:
NEW ORLEANS, September, %, 1874.
To General w. II. Emory, commanding de-
partment of the Gulf, New Orleans, La:
SIR--I begto call your attention, first,
to an extract from the speech of United
States Senator Schurz, at st. Louis,
last night, as follows "He then refer.
red to the fact that an election for u
new Legislature is impending, and
United States troops are there profess
eddy to enforce the laws in that cleo
tion,~bu whether they will be used inn
partially or not will depend upon who
controls them.
"This control will be in a great meas
ure in the hands of United States Mar
shall Packard, who besides being mar
shall was one of the principal accompli-
ces of Judge Durell and Kellogg in the
usurpation two years ago and is now
the managing spirit of the central
committee of the Kellogg party. This
is not a fit person to control United
States troops to be used in that elec-
ton. 1t is of the highest Importance
that, especially under existing circum-
stances, the people of Louisiana should
not only have fair election, but also
they should be made have one. The
past performances and present func- |
tions of Mr.. Packard are not calcula-
ted to inspire confidence. ! am sure
the whole country would applaud an
order from the president relieving
Packard of bis official duties and the
substitution of man Of such charac-
ter that everybody will believe him
incapable of abusing his power for par
tisan ends"
Second--To the communication Of
the committee of seventy, IT, lgh r. |
III. Mari, chairman, to the pr ent of
the United States, under. tie OF
September s, 1874. Here f Ss in
Packard's communication mory
the resolution and appeal / esting
against placing at the disposal of the
attorney genera! the United States
troops, for the purpose of assisting the
marshal of this district, S. h. Packard,
in carrying on prosecutions against the
people of Louisiana, and requesting
Packard's removal from office. on ac-
count of this violent craftsmanship, ect.
Packard continues My purpose in
is to inquire of you whether | have
at any time since you have been in
command of the department. of the
gulf, used or attempted to use, or con-
troll United States troops for political
purposes, in any manner whatever,
and also, whether or not you have OBJ
served in our official relations and m
tercourse, anything which, in your
opinion, iustifies the imputatiOns and
charges set forth by Schurz and the
committee of seventy.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
want, S. Ii. PACKARD,
United States Marshal.
HEADQUARTERS DEPT. OF THE GULF
NEW ORLEANS, September %, 1874.
To S. B. Packard Esq. United States Mar
shall:
SIR-In reply to your note of this
date have to state emphatically that
since have been in command of this
department, you.or no one else has used
or attempted to use or control the
United States troops for political pur-
poses in any manner whatever. There
has been nothing i'm our official rela-
tions to justify the charge that you de-
sign to use troops for political purposes
or have you done so, and if you
desire such an use, L don't see how
you are to use them for any such pur-
pose, for be assured any such attempt
would be promptly and Immediately
resented by both officers and men.
Those who make such charges are to-
tally ignorant of the character of the
regular troops and the indignation
that would attend any attempt to use
them for political purposes.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't
Wv. II. EMORY.
