companying the message viii be copies OF all the
orders issued and sne correspondence wnich,
Ondciauy passed in what was then and subsequently
done. More serious trouble Is anticipated next
January than any which has yet occurred TO mar
the peace Of the State. or this the President has
Deen fully advised, and the sorry condition OF
afrairs in Louisiana as well as Arkansas exeltes
serious attention on his part.
This weeks HERALDs dispatches from New Or.
leans, already published, narrate that The White
League OF that city threatens to lynch the men,
bers OF the Returning Board and that the White
League OF Shreveport volunteers to march down
and assist In the fell work. few days ago the
Shreveport Times, which Is conceded by the re-
publicans to be the ablest democratic organ In the
State OF Louisiana, demanded that every man,
from Congressman to constable, whom the Board
should return as elected should be killed. All
these facts are IN the Presidents possession and,
while he is most heartily dlsgusted with the un-
settled condition OF alairs, in which he has the
sympathy Of the Attorney General, ne recognizes
the obligation to prevent anarchy and stay riot.
The defiant attitude Of the people OF Louisiana Is
thought to portend mischief, and 1t s generally
apprehended in administration circles that In
January, when the Legislature shall assemble,
White League rides VIII gainsay the title OF many
of those returned by the Board. 1t is SAID that
the lear OF federal interference win not deter the
League from making It's effort any more than did
the two years. Executive recognition OF the de
6ucto government dissuade that League from Its
bold experiment Of september last And YET the
President has been assured that large element
of the Louisiana democracy diScountenance the
League. The taxpayers are beginning TO Vince

All this has been laid before the President to
GUIDE him IN his remarks on the Louisiana ques-

He points to the retirement OF Longstreet from
vacancy for a democrat as = token OF republican
desire tor harmony, and to the refusal OF both
after having been elected by the Board as mem-
bers, as denoting that the opposition will not be
