Andrew Johnson.
THE INDIGNATION MEETING
REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMIT-
TEE.

WASHINGTON, jan. Q. 1875.
1t may turn out that Mr.. Conkling blundered
when ne delayed the motion OF Mr.. Thurman call.
ing on the President Tor Information on Louisiana
affairs. The Presidents reply to this call for In
formation will be sent In on Monday, and Will, 1t
Is asserted by his friends, give horrible &C.
count OF murders, plots, and dark and
dangerous organizations, In which the White
League Will cut great Hgure. The most desperate
and lawless purposes will be charged against this
organization, and the President appears. from the
report OF gentlemen who have seen HIM to-day, TO
have worked himself into state OF mind In which
he believes that the most energetic and severe
methods alone can be safely applied in the South.
The documents he will send In will contain nu.
merous reports from different persons, army OH.
GERS, United States ofncials and members OF the
Kellogg government, all tending (so rumor says
20 snow that the country Is In danger and well
calculated to 1re the Northern heart.
COUNTERPART FROM THE sUB.CoxxIrTEH.
Unuckily for these one.sded assertions the
New Orleans Committee, who will be here on Mon.
day, will also make report, which VIII probably
follow 30 quickly upon the other now that 1t Will
correct and clear up what might otherwise MIS-
lead the public. The New Orleans Committee,
which, It will be remembered, called and heard
evidence on both Sides will report to the following
e6ect:-
Fyrst-Thxt the evidence given before them In
New Orleans showed that IN the late election there
was no intimidation to prevent colored men vor.
ing the republican ticket No evidence was
brought to the committee that any violence had
been threatened. One man swore that he was
threatened. out he. 1t appeared, remained all day
ut the polls and voted the republican ticket. Sew.
eral witnesses had heard that others had been
threatened, but knew nothing on their own ex.
perlence.
Second-The evidence shows that though in sew.
eral White Leagues the proposition to discharge
servants who voted the republican ticket was
brought up ana discussed, 1t was In every case
voted down.
Board was monstrous and clumsy fraud. and
that the members or 1t had not even skill enough
to conceal their wrong and dupllcity.
-Four h-That the United States troops under
orders Of Marshal Packard secured the parishes q
week before election with warrants IN their
pockets against democrats and appeared at the
polls on election day. thus intimldating and driv.
ing on democratic voters. Thus the intimidation
appears to have been on the republican side and
against the democrats.
F'Cth-The report Will show that the disorder in
the Legislature had ceased. and the meeting was
entirely orderly and quiet before and ar the time
General De Trobriand entered the hall 10 arrest
the members.
Sfxth-That the only request Of Mr.. Witt to Gen.
eral De Trobriand was TO help In keeping order IN
the lobby outside or the Han. the police being ut
terly netncient and useless. This he accom- phsned
by his personal appearance. attended Oy only an
aid.
Sepsnth-Tbat the Kellogg government hos no
hold on the people OF the State. That It is sup.
ported by not more than two.thirds OF the colored

era and those whose relatives hold ONCE.
Ei0hth-That at the last election many coored
men voted the democratic ticket, on account
OF the failure OF the Freedman's Bank, many OF
whom personally appeared before the committee
and testified to the fact and to their democratic
symrathles.
Nin,h-The evidence shows that the police OF
New Orleans Is demoralzed aud useless. that they
have practically ceased.to patrol the Streets and
that ORDER ~ maintained only through o whole.
some dread OF the White League organization
which o. the awless element knows consists or
the bravest and beat citlzens united together to
preserve peace.
Tenth-The evidence shows that the Waite
League consists OF the merchants, lawyers and
others, the best citizens and Is simply citizens

But. even with this qualification, the report Will
