Avoiding the Issue.

The announcement that the President will
send message to Congress giving state
ment of his reasons for sending General
Sheridan to New Orleans and imposing upon
Louisiana all the rigors of military govern
ment comes to us officially, and we presume
we shall have it to-day. Perhaps the Presi-
dent is waiting for General Sheridan's report
of the ''four thousand murders" to which
that commander alludes in one Of his letters.
A message of this nature, throwing light upon
the condition of affairs in the South will be read
with interest But the country will ask, Why
was this information not given in the first
place? Why did it not form part Of the
annual Message. when, in obedience to his
oath of Office, the President was charged with
communicating to Congress the condition Of
the country? Why did he not take the nation
into his confidence? Knowing the natural
constituencies of democratic people
to any military interference in civil
affairs. whv not have nrAnarAd us

Notwithstanding the President mas so often
brought that duty to its attention.
We are, therefore, of the opinion, after the
best reflection we have been able to
give to the subject that the action
of the meeting, instead of taking the
ordinary form of string Of resolutions,
should be well weighed memorial to Con-
gress. There are abundant precedents for
this form of action by public meetings which
is in perfect accordance with that provision Of
the constitution which declares that Soon
gress shall make no law abridging the right
of the people peaceably to assemble and petit
don the government for redress of griev-
ances" The constitution assumes that the
fitting outcome of public meeting is such
memorial as we recommend to the great as
semblage of citizens at the Cooper Institute.
If the action of the meeting takes this form 1t
will be marked by sobriety Of statement and
candor of tone which cannot be expected in a
set of resolutions addressed to the public. A
memorial addressed to Congress would neces-
sarily be respectful in its language and con-
Gderate in its positions, and would have alto
gether more weight with the public than
series of denunciatory resolutions 1t would
have the merit Of asking relief from the
only source competent to give it, and would,
therefore, be judicious and business-like,
whereas set Of infammatory resolutions
would be looked upon by the public as mere
buncombe. The moral weight of the meeting
will be greatly increased if the formal e1-
preston of its views takes form which is of
itself guarantee for precision Of statement,
moderation Of tone and caution not to over
