that place. have thought proper to delay decis-
ion of the question of their removal until could
determine whether the condition OF affairs is now
such as to either require justify the continued
military intervention OF the national government in
the affairs Of the state. In my opinion there does
not exist in Louisiana such domestic violence is
contemplated by the constitution as ground upon
which the military powers of the national govern
ment may be invoked for the defense of the state
The disputes which exist to the right of certain
claimants the chief executive office of that state
are to be settled and determined by the execu-
tive of the United States, out by such an orderly
and peaceable method as may be provided by the
constitution and laws OF the state. Having aSsur-
ance that resort to violence is contemplated but
on the contrary the disputes in question to he
settled bv peaceful methods under and i'm accord
ance with the law, deem it proper to take action in
accordance with the principles announced when
entered upon the duties of the presidency You are
therefore directed TO see that the proper orders
issued for the removal of said troops at early
date, from their present position, to such regular
barracks in the vicinity may he selected for their

truth of Phairs statement and his innocence
of the crime imputed to him. Proof has
been found that Phair was in Providence on

house where he says he stopped has been
found, and so far his statement is thoroughly
