BROKEN UP BY THE PRESIDENTS ORIGINAL PLAN
THE THREATENED RESIGNATION OP HIS THEE

GBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUHB.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The tone and matter of
the message sent to the Senate to-day by the Presi
dent took Congress by SURPRISE except the few who
were let into the secret last night this morning
that Gen. Grant had, after ALL backed down from
the high-banded and headstrong policy upon which
he and some of the members of his Cabinet entered
about week ago. "What has accomplished this
change in the Presidents purposep is the question
that was asked on every side as soon as the char
acter OF the message was known. "Grant never
did it HIMSELF said one. WAS it the great
uprising of the people throughout The North
and the indignant protests of the press almost with
out regard to party. was il pressure brought to
bear upon him here in Washington, inside his Cabi-
net and ont y asked another. On Sunday night, as
all the world now knows. the President was i'm
movable. Persons who saw him then were unani-
nous IN theiasserton that, matter what occurred
the President would not back down" "The
message will be as stiff as Belknaps dispatches The
President has made up his mind, and you may rest
assured that it will not be changed" said promi-
nent Republican, fresh from the White House. So
determined was the President, that Mr.. Fish.
VINO saw with alarm the IuinOus result
OF such policy, had fully made up
his mind to retire from the Cabinet and
Messrs. Bristow and Jewell, although not quite 80
decided as to their proper course, would undOubt-
edly have followed, had not changeof policy been
effected. The truth u.s. the President found himself
in a most critical position. The three men who
alone gave character to bis Cabinet were threaten
ing to resign; the indignation of the country was
rising with alarming rapidity committee ma
jority of which was composed Of men of his own
party, was about to make report which could only
add fuel to the fame. One of two things
he must choose. BE might have his own way,
and see his Administration break up and
himself become the most unpopular aud
hated of public men, or he must yield to the advice
of the wiser of his party and back water"
The latter was the course decided upon, and it is
understood to have first taken definite shape in the
special Cabinet meeting of last Monday, when, it 10
reported, the understanding that the message
should be toned down was arrived at. In this way
the most dangerous crisis in Grants Administration
has been for the present bridged over.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-rhe tt Jrt of Messrs
Foster, Phelps and Potter. the SUBJ b-Committee who
have recently returned from Louisiana, was com
pleted and agreed to to-day. except a narrative of
the events of Jan. f. The submission of this report
to the House has been delayed by the absence of Mr.
Robinson, one of the Committee. lie was tele-
Craphed to and informed the Speaker to-day that he
could not serve. Mr.. Marshall was appointed in his
place, and as he will probably follow Mr.. Potter,
there is little doubt that majority Of tho Commit
tee will agree to the report of the subcommittee
and that it will be presented to the House to-
morrow.
Great excitement prevailed in the Capitol during
part of the day over the rumor that this report
was after all, to be suppressed, and that
the full Committee would go to New-Orleans
TO continue the investigation. This rumor was in
dustrously circulated by some Of the ultra Ad-
ministraton men, who have been in great state
of alarm ever since this Subcommittee returned
AS the only way in which a majority of the Com
mittee could be obtained to agree to such PROPOSE
ton as this, would be by inducing Mr. Foster to
agree to it. 1t was not credited by those who knew
best his courage of opinion and his earnest desire TO
have speedy settlement, and it is not believed To-
night The general character of the report has not
been changed since Monday the additions that have
been made being chiefly statements of fact, when
the testimony shows at greater length than was Mt
first intended.

,vou,d he n reflection upon the Administration as
well as upon Gen. Sheridan, for the dispatch to Gen.
Sheridan approved his course
Senator King asked If there was anything to show
that the dispatches from Secretary Bolknap referred
TO Sherdan's dispatch of the day before, and sug-
gested that it might have reference 70 some dispatch
not made public.
Senator Woodin protested against such an inter-
pretation of Belknaps dispatch as would indicate
that the President approved the transactions OF
Gen. Sheridan. The very circumstances of the case
contained in themselves complete refutatlon OF tne
charge If the President approved of sheridan's
course why had he not Illuminated his proclama-
ton before this timei No imputation should be
cast upon Sheridan as man. q soldier, or patriot.
lie had been led into the commission of grave
and the spirit Of his action must be character
lied as despotic.
Senator johnson believed that tho Importance OF
the subject demanded and required that there shouid
be unanimous action. 1t was question Taught
with such terrible responsibilities that every man.
whatever might be his politics, should unlle win
his fellows in denouncing this outrageous attempt
to destroy constitutional liberty If this should go
uurebuked where was the voice that could say 10
usurping power, "Thus far shalt thou 90 and no
furtherp As to the pbraseology Of the resolution,
he cared but little. He wished the whole Dody
to censure this hgh-handed outrage.
Senator Jacobs urged that the tribute to Sneri-
dams personal character, contained in the resoiu-
ton, was irrelevant. The people expected them to
denounce his Infamous act. He was not prepared to
believe that Gen. Sheridan was patriotic man IN
view of his recent action. 1t was useless to de-
nounce him unless it was done in manly language
Senator Wood said the main question was whether
they would approve OF dsapprove not of an act but
of a sentiment He deprecated any attempt to re-
viye the passions of war times in the discussion OF
the question.
Finally the resolutions were laid on the table and
made the special order for tomorrow.
In the Assembly, MeSsrs. DAILY, Hammond, Sher-
man. Alvord and Hustled were appointed commit
tee of five to draft resolutions In response to the
Governors message, under Mr.. Days resolution OF
yesterday. The committee have met. and will pre-
sent the result of their labors tomorrow, probably
in the form Of o resolution denouncing the inter-
ference of the military. The general feeling OF the
Republicans on the Presidents message Is that OF
relief at finding that the Administration has cleared
ITSELF as they claim, of completely in the outrage.

THE MESSAGE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The following is the Pres
ideut's message on Louisiana affairs sent 10 the
Senate to-day:
To the Senate Of the UHited States
have the honor TO make the following answer TO
a Senate resolution Of the 9Th INST, asking for In
formation as to any interference by any military
officer or any part Of the Army of the United States
with the organization proceedings Of the General
Assembly of the State Of Louisiana either branch
thereof and also nqurng In regard to the existence
of armed organizations in that State hostile to the
Government thereof. and intent overturning
such Government by force. To say that lawless-
ness turbulence and bloodshed have characterized
the political affairs of that State since it's reorgani
cation under the Reconstruction acts, is only TO
repeat what has become well known as part of its
unhappy history but may be proper here TO refer
to the election Of 1868, by which the Republican
vote of the State through fraud and violence. was
reduced to few thousands. and the bloody riots of
1866, 67 and '6s to show that the disorders there
are not due any recent or TO any late action
of the Federal authorities.
Preparatory 10 the election OF 1872 shameful ana
undisguised conspiracy formed to carry that
election against the Republicans without regard TO
law or right and to that end the most garng frauds
and forgeres were committed in the returns, after
many colored citizens had been denied registration
and others deferred by fear from casting their ballots
When the time for final canvass of the votes.

suit upon the equity side Of the United Ssstes C-
