ident sent to the Senate yesterday, in further
response to its resolution OF inquiry, another
large mass of manuscript, copies of CORES
pOndence relative to disorders in Louisiana
The correspondence dates back to October 25
1874, and begins with various cypher tele
grams, sent by Gen. Emory to the War de
partment, in which he expresses strong dis
appreciation of Major Merrill's action i'm
making affidavits against citizens of Shreye
port, under which they were arrested for al
legged violations of the enforcement act. Il
also embraces statements of Major Merrill
and report of Lieut.. Colonel Morrow, who
Investigated the condition OF affairs in and

row says:-"The present state government
cannot maintain itself in power a single hour
without the protection OF federal troops, and
even with this protection they will not be
able 10 collect taxes and perform the func-
tions of government" Genl Sherman for
warded this report to the Secretary of War
with the request that he submit il to the
President for his approval. He further in
dorses Col. Morrow as an officer whose opin-
ions are entitled TO great consideration.
