SCULeS TROOPS from LIt6 DLUG6 HOUSo,
Louisiana The Presidents order to
the Secretary Of War.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
April 20, 1877. !
SIR-Prior to my entering upon the
duties of the Presidency there had been
stationed, by order of my predecessor,
in the immediate vicinity Of the build
ing used as the State House in New
Orleans, La, and known as Mechanics
Institute, detachment of United
States Infantry. Finding them in that
place, have thought proper to delay
the decision Of the question of their
removal until could determine wheth-
or the condition of affairs is now such
as to either require or justify the con-
tinued military intervention of the
national Government in affairs of the
State. In my opinion there does not
now exist in Louisiana such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the con-
stitution as the ground upon which
the military power of the national
Government may be invoked for the
defense of State The disputes which
exist as to the rights of certain claim
ants to the Chief Executive Office of
that State are to be settled and deter
mined, not by the Executive of the
United States, but by such orderly and
peaceable methods as may be provided
by the constitution and laws of the
State. Having the assurance that no
resort to violence is contemplated, but,
on the contrary, the disputes in ques-
40 hn h~ fI11
methods, under and in accordance
with the law, | deem it proper to take
action in accordance with the princi-
pies announced when | entered upon
the duties of the Presidency. You are
therefore directed to see that the prop
er orders are issued for the removal Of
said troops at an early date from their
present position to such regular bar
racks in the vicinity as may be selected
for their occupation.
(Signed) r. B. HAYES.
