LoSa BRANCH, n. j., September 6.
The President yesterday expressed
himself as sincerely desirous of leaving
the Southern States to take care Of their
own political affairs, and Of hon-inter-
ference on the part of the Federal Gov
.ernment, but tile fact of the existence OF
lawlessness and violence in some of the
States was undeniable. hence the pre-
liminary orders for the movement of
the troops. are legitimate and proper.
He hopes tile moral effect Of the pres
edce Of the troops may render their ac-
tive use unnecessary. Under the repre-
sentations that have been made, he be-
lieves he would be guilty Of neglect of
duty of lie did not take steps for the pre-
ivention of threatened evils.
