Respecting the alleged interference by the miltar
with the organization Of the Legislature of Louisau
on the 9Th Inst, have no knowledge or informs
tion which has not been rcceiyed by me since tbs
time and published. My hrst information was fror
the papers o. the ah Of January. 4 did not kno'
and no susgsstiens were ever given to any militsr
ofcer In that State upon that subject prior 10 IN
occurrence. I am veil aware that any military In
State. with he % organization Of STATE legislature I
any Of its proceedings or with any civil deparmen
Of the Government, h repugnantto 70 our ideas Of Gov
ernnent can conceive OF no case not involvin
rebellion insurrecton where such interference b
authority Of the General Government, ought 10 b
permitted or can he justified but there are circum
stances connected with the legislative imtrogio ID
Louisiana, which seems to exempt the military from
any intentional wrong in that matter, knowing tina
they had been placed In Louisiana 70 prevent domes
tic violence and aid In repressngit The revclutios
". y.s srpsssniy though u = bsiisycd not really
and tyranny In Louisiana was renewed with re
doubled energy. Troops hsd been sent 10 the STATE
under the requisiton of the Governor as other dis
remain there TO render the Executive such aid .,
might become necessary 10 enforce the laws Of tho
state, and 10 reprcss the continued violence which
would be ~i,Sdras.. Prior to and Win a view s' 4
the late election In Louisana, white men associated
themselves In armed iodes, called white Le.gusr,
and al the same time IN reats we've made m ths
journals Of the state thai the election shoud hs
carried against the Republicans at all hazards
which very naturally greatly alarmed the colorrd
voters.
