used as the state house, In New Orleans
La, and know As the Mechanics Inst
tute, detachment Of United States infan
try. Finding them in tha
place, haye thought proper
to delay decision Of the gu, stion O
their removal until l could determin,
whether the condition OF affairs is now
such as to either require or justify tn,
continued military Intervention Of tn,
national government in the affairs OF tn,
state. In my opinion there does not nov
exist In Louisiana such domestic VIC
lence as Is contemplated by the consti
tuition as Q ground upon which the L.ili
tary power Of the national government
may be invoked for the defense OF thu
state. The disputes which exist a. TO thu
right Of certain claimants to the chic
executive Office Of that state are to bt
settled and determined, not by the exec.
stive OF the United States, but by such
orderly and peaceable methods - may be
provided by the constitution, and laws oil
the state, Having assurance that
no resort 10 violence Is contemplated
nut on the contrary the disputes
qaeston are to be settled by peaceful
I"s'noes under and IA accordance with
