Crary;
EXECUTIVE MANSION, I
WASHINGTON, April 20. I
SIR Prior 10 my entering upon my
duties OF President, there had been sta.
toned by order Of my predecessor, in the
immediate vicinity OF the building used
~ the State House in New Orleans, La,
and known rs the Mechanics Institute, n
detachment Of the 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 the continued military inter
vention Of the national government in
the affairs OF that State. In my opinion
there does not now exist in Louisiana
such domestic violence ~ is contemplated
by the Constitution as ground upon
which the military power OF the national
government may be invoked for the de
tense 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, butby
such 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, that the disputes in
question are to be settled by peaceful
methods under and in accordance with
the law | deem it proper to take action
in accordance with the principles an.
nounced when ! entered on the duties Of
President. You are therefore directed
to see that the proper orders are issued
Tor the removal of said troops at an early
date from their. present position to such
regular barracks in the vicinity US may
be selected ior their occupation.
