WASHINGTON, April 20.
The President this afternoon ad-
dressed the following letter to s ecre-
tary McCrary:
"EXECUTIvE MANSION, April 20.
SIR: Prior to my entering upon
the duties of the Presidency there had
been stationed, by order of my pred
ecessor, in the immediate vicinity of
the building used as the State House
in New Orleans, Louisiana, and
known as the Mechanics Institute, a
detachment of United States infantry.
Finding them in hat place, l have
thought proper to delay decision of
the question of their removal until /
could determine whether the condition
of affairs in Louisiana was such as to
either require or justify continued mil
itary Intervention of the National Gov
eminent in the affairs of that State.
In my opinion there does no now ex-
ist in Louisiana such domestic violence
as is contemplated by the Constitution
as a ground upon which the military
power of the National Government may
be invoked for the defense OF a 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 Ex-
ecutive of the United States but by
such orderly and peaceable methods
as may be provided by the Constitu-
lion and laws OF the State. Having
assurance that no resor to violence Is
contemplated, but On the contrary that
the disputes in question are to be set
tied by peaceful methods under and in
accordance with the laws, l deem it
proper to take action in accordance
with the principles announced when
l entered upon the duties of the presi-
dency. You are therefore directed to
see that proper orders are issued for
the removal Of said troops at an early
date from their present position to
such regular barracks in ths vicinity
as may be selected for their occupation.
(oigned) r. b. HAYES.
To the Hon. Geo. w. McCrary, Secre-
tary of War.
The Secretary of War, after the ad
the following letter to General Sher-
man:
WAR DEP'TM'r. WASHINGTON CITY,
April 20, 1877.
To General w. I. Sherman, command.
ing United States army:
GENERAL: | have the honor to i'll
close herewith a copy of a communi
cation from the President ofthe United
States, i'm which he directs that the de-
tachulent of United States troops
stationed in the vicinity of the Mechan-
ics' Institute, in the city of New Or.
leans, be withdrawn to such convent
n barracks as may be selected for
their occupation. You are hereby
charged with the execution of this or
der and will cause the withdrawal to
take place on Tuesday next, the oath
of April, at II O'Clock NJ.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
GEO. w. MCCRARy,
Secretary of War.
General Sherman having left his Of
flee early this afternoon, did not be-
come acquainted with the action of the
Cabinet until evening. The letter of
the Secretary of War, above men,
toned, will be transmitted 10 him early
in tie morning, and he will then tele-
graph it to Lieutenant Sheridan, CON-
handing the Military Division of the
Missouri, who will give the necessary
order for the removal of the troops, as
above, to General Augur, in command
at New Orleans.
1t can be asserted on good authority
that the work of the Louisiana Com
mission has been more successful than
was anticipated in official quarters, and
therefore it cannot he said that the
President intends to withdraw the
troops from New Orleans because Of
the failure on the part of the Commits
sion, but, on the contrary, the deter
mination to day to issue the order for
that purpose was owing to the satifac-
tory result of their labors. Last night
they t~elegraphed the President that at
ter a careful examination of the condi-
ton OF political affairs they had come
to the conclusion that the time had ar
rived when the troops could safely be
withdrawn.

NEW ORLEANS, April 20.
The Democrats are in a Quandary.
They are anxious to elect two United
States Senators and to adjourn sine die,
but Packard's negroes stand by him
so faithfully that the Democrats are
apprehensive that after having ad-
journed their Legislature members

Finishing an editorial, the New York
Sun says: Packard having stepped
down and out, it is time Hayes should
do the same thing. Ii one is not Gov

A Times Washington special says:
The question of appointing Federal
