WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-President Grant has
sent telegram to Adjutant General Town
send directing him to the officer command
ing the troops in Mississippi to give
Gov. Ames such aid as may be necessary
to maintain order and protect life in that
State if the instruction is too formidable to
be suppressed with the means at the Cover
nor's command
Before sending such order to the command
ing officer, however, the President directed
the Adjutant General TO consult with Attorney
contemplated military proceeding Accord
ingly these gentlemen had consultation on
that subject at noon to-day.
Action on the Presidents telegram will be
deferred until it shall be decided whether q
proclamation shall be issued addressed to the
insurgents. Tne President having requested
the Secretary of State and the Attorney Gen
eral to consider whether such proclamati N
is necessary, the Secretary of State being
absent from Washington, the Attorney GEN
eral is making arrangements by telegraph for
conference with Secretary Fish, and may
leave here tonight for that purpose, unless
ne shall be advised in the meantime that the
Secretary is on his way to Washington, which
is thought probable, owing to the present
troubles in Mississippi.
1t is definitely known that no action will be
taken by the War Department until after the
issuance of proclamation and the receptio ion
of information of disregard of its require
ments by the insurgents. The available troops
in Mississippi are two companies of the 10Th
Infantry at Jackson, two of ths 18th at Vlcks-
burg, and five of the Sd Infantry and four of
the 18th at Holly Springs, and four of the 18th
at Baton Rouge. Official tee grams will prob
ably be sent to Gov. Ames to-day, asking him
whether it is not possible he can be aided in
preserving the public peace by calling upon
law-abiding citizens so as to avoid the neces-
sity of resorting to Federal force to suppress
the disturbance.
JACKSON, Sapt. 9.-The following telegram
was sent to Attorney General Pierrepont to-
night: .
Hon. Edward Pierrepont, Attorney General,
United States:
There are no disturbances in this State,
and no distractions to the execution of the
laws. There has been an unex pected conflict
at a political meeting, and some subsequent
disturbances, but everything is quiet now.
the Governors call for United States troops
does not even pretend there is any insurrec-
ton against the State government, a. required
by the revision of the United States Statutes
of 1875, page 10 to "a. Peace prevails
throughout the State, and the employment of
United States troops would but increase the
distrust OF the people in the good faith of the
present State government. J. Fl. GEORGE,
Chairman Democratic State Ex Committee.
