Letter of Denial from President orion

New YORK, September 25.-Presdent Or
ton, of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, publishes letter denying that the
transmission of messages has been interfered
with in the South. He states that when the
troubles in New Orleans began guard was
stationed at the office in that city, but upon
the protest of the superintendent it was i'm
mediately removed, and no attempt was
made TO tamper with messages, nor was any
censorship exercised over dispatches. The
only persons to whom special favor was
shown were the officers of the United states
army, whose business by law was entitled &c
preference over all others. Mr.. Orion de-
MES that the manager at Shreveport is q
member of the so-called White League; that
the transmission of messages was in any
manner unusually delayed at that office, ano
that favoritism was shown in respect to the
