BROTHER-IN-LAW CASEY.
a Committee that Desires TO Know why he
sin Remains In Once.


wAsHISoroN, July 9.-Horace Porter,
formerly the Presidents private secretary,
arrived here yesterday, In obedience to a sum
mons from the Committee on Federal Affairs in
Louisiana. In 1872 Congress appointed a sub
committee, OF which Glonni W. Scoasld Of
Pennsylvania was Chairman, to vlsit New Or
leans and report upon tho alleged abuse OF
Federal authority In Louisiana. 1t was Presl-
Dental yoar, and one Of tho serious charges
against the Administration was the usurpation
OF power by Grant to promote his own personal
ends. The committee concluded their labors in
o bs lone Session sUs and ScCa
Informed the President that the conduct OF his
brother.in-law. Jim Casey, had been such as 10

Of Collector at New Orleans. Family interfer-
ence weakened the Presidents first resolve, but
II having been generally ayerred that such a re-
port had been made to the President by two OF
the leading Republican members OF the COM
mittee II was impossible for the President to
withhold action. Accordin he demanded OF
Casey hts resignation, to take effect on the ap-
pointment of his successor.
This action, brought about by the private re-
port OF those two members OF Congress, was
subsequently, made public through the agency
Of Horace Porter. Par graphs were written at
IN which Grant had required his offending
brother-iniaw to hand IN his resignation and
expressing the deep indignation which the

Casey shaken. These paragraphs. differently
