Department considered his action
Insaded by the circumstances. Among
the papers is q report Of Lieutenant.
Colonel Henry A. Morrow, who was
detailed by General Emory to make
thorough examination of the condition
Of Affairs ID the Red River country.
He says that so far as relates to the
United Statee, there is not the slightest
disposition TO oppose the General Go.
vernment. but opposition to the State
Government is determined and ex-
pressed, and will,omanifest itself in
open violence whenever and wherever
it asserts ITSELF THIS dissatisfaction
and disoontent affects an departments

OF the ioouutry has luck of poverty
and neglect: rhetlaw has fallen into
Disregard and disrepnte, and the

shals have used United States soldiers
in cases where there was no necessity

sarily harsh, ii not cruel, manner.
Col. Morrow gives the following as his
deep eeated convictions: The present
State Government cannot maintain
itself in power single hour without
the protection OF Federal troops. and
even with this protection they will not
be able to collect taxes and perform
the functions Of government. The
State Government has not the conf
dence orzespeot Of any portion of the
COMMUNITY. Farther on he says: II

lieved.- and do believe them, there is
very sincere desire to live quietly
under the protection of the Constitn.
tion of the United States, and enioy
the blessings Of the National Govern.

teen-twentleths OF the white inAabi-
tants Of the State. Ia forwarding this
report, December 27, General Emory
says: "For nearly two years the con-
dition OF affairs has been very preoa.
rious. and the State Government has
constantly shown itself unable to cope
with the difficulties OF the situation in
which it Is placed. This state of things
is daily growing worse, and I commend
the subject to serious consideration.
The mission of the army to keep the
peace without the power Of removing
the causes which disturb, has, I think.
