THE ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
OF WAR FOR THE REMOVAL OF TROOPS FROM
THE sTATE-HOUsE.
Executive Mansion, April 20.-Sir,-
Prior to my entering upon the duties OF the
presidency there had been stationed, by Or
der Of my predecessor, in the immediate Vi
cinity Of the building used as state-house
in New Orleans, La, and known as the Me.
chanicS' Institute, detachment OF united
States infantry. Finding them in that place
| have thought proper to delay decision OF
the question OF their removal until could
determine whether the condition OF affairs
is now such as to either require or JUSTIFY
continued military Intervention OF the Ma
tional Government in thealfairs OF the State.
In nv opinion there does not exist in Lou
isiana such domestic violence as is contem-
plated by the Constitution Us the ground
upon which the military power OF the Ma
tional Government may be invoked for the
defence of the State. The disputes which
exist as to the right OF certain claimants to
the chief executive office OF that State are
to be settled and determined not by the
Executive OF the United States, but by such
| orderly and peaceful methods as may be
provided by the Constitution and the laws
of the State. Having the assurance that nc
resort to violence is contemplated, but that
on the contrary, the disputes in question
are to be settled by peaceful methods under
and in accordance with law, | deem il
nroper to take action in accordance Will
the principle announced when I entered
upon the duties Of the presidency. YOU
are therefore directed to see that the proper
orders are issued for the removal Of sale
troops at an early date from their presen
| position to such regular barracks in thu
vicinity as may be selected for their occu
nation. r. B. HAYES.
