PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON LOUISIANA.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ID.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON LOUISIANA. =
The message Of the President gu L,uislana at
fairs to Congress, after briet review OF events
10 the South, and particularly in Louisiana,
reminds Congress of its delinquency IN failing
to respond to the repeated appeals OF the exc
cu.ive for legislation to direct its course In the
preservation and the protection OF all CLASSES
of the people against what is characterized as
the turbulence ADD aggressive conduct OF no
small element 10 the population OF many OF the
Southern States. The President says that he
has had no policy of his own to enforce 10 the
States Of the South but has always endeaVored
to eou6ue his acts to preservation of peace.
In the special matter respecting the scenes
which trauspired 10 connection With the recent
organization of The Legislature of Louisiana,
the troops were acting under authority OF the
general instructions sent to the commanding
Office during the excitement attending the
outbreak of last September. The presence OF
Gen. Sheridan had reference merely to the
alleged threatened purpose of certain disorder
IL an idle persons, expelled for supporting a
number of real or constituted members OF the
Legislature and leaders, to wrest by force the
control of the State government from those
who then held it. The couspicuousness of tie
troops 10 what followed will therefore, it is con-
tended, be plainly accounted for as the act oil
soldiers eudeavoring to perform their duty.
No unpatriotic or tyranDical impulses. nor even
4 disposition to interfere or to exceed their au-
thority. is attributed to them, but simply an
honest desire to do their duty, in obedience to
general orders to maintain quiet. 1t will be
admitted that the commanding officers were
not lawyers and hence, perhaps, not well
versed iu what are considered the nice distinc'
tious aud air.spting differences Of the law
While they msy have been at fault 10 the de-
tails of their action, DO Intentional wrong will
be attributed to them. The President tbluks
that this message will convince Congress OF the
necessity of legislative action, which should
have been had at least two years ago.
