se1~ The Van Buren Press is again on
the war-path. 1t has attempted to make
capital out of an article in our last issue
in which we referred to the BenderS as
",Consummate villains" instead of the
Keifers, as the depravity of his mind
would lead his readers to believe.
We will here add another Wonder"
Why is it that the Editor of the Press
is always trying to mislead his readers
by publishing statements as facts that he
knors to be false? Is it to prejudice the
minds of the people in his favor II so
he will have to go where he is not so
well known-his thrusts 80 far as we
are concerned, fall still -born-Alma Her.
aid.
No better answer to the above can be
given, than to publish what the Herald
did say, as follows:
Wonder is the V. B. Press and lead
ing men at v B. in view of the fact that
Bender committed the most diabolical
crime in the catalogue, should manifest
such wonderful sympathy with the man
va "u'ii' So' o'PiSioil hsio iCSecu iti y cdlS,
and who can only remove such suspicion
by an Investigation if innocent. Can it
be that such persons are willing to cover
the track of such consumate Williams.
Or does it all grow out of the fact that
the Detective brought the parties to AL
ma.-Alma Herald.
In the same paper, the editor Of the
Herald published an extract from Kan
sas paper setting forth the fact that the
Bender family was followed and lynch
ed, soon after the discovery of the mur-
ders.
The more light that is let into this un-
Justltiable transaction, the more damna-
bic and outrageous does the whole act
from beginingt to end appear. The Press
has no desire to, and will not knowingly
do an injustice to any one, but will not
hesitate at any time, to speak freely of
all such transactions as we'll as of the
transactors.

All the members of the Cabinet were
present at the meeting to-day. The
President laid before them tclcgraphic
communications from the Louisiana Com
mission, and much satisfaction was ex-
pressed with their tenor, which indicates
an early adjustment of political Difficult
ties.
The Cabinet adjourned at 2:40 this af-
ternoon. A report is current that an or
der for the removal of troops from New
Orleans will issued today.
The President this afternoon address
the following letter to Secretary McCra
ry:
EXECUTIVE MANSION WASHINGTON,
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 State House in New
Orleans, La. and known as the Mechan.
les Institute, a detachment of United
States infantry. Finding them in that
place, | have thought proper to delay a
a decision of the question of their re-
moval until | could determine whether
the condition of affairs is now such as to
either require or justify continued mill
tary Intervention of the National Gov
ernment in the affairs of the State. In
my opinion there does not now exist 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 in
voked for the defense 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
peaceable methods as may be provided
by the Constitution and laws ofthe State.
Having the assurance that no resort to
violence is contemplated, but, on the CON
trary, the disputes i'll question are to be
settled by peaceful methods, under and
in accordance with the law, | deem it
proper to take actiou in accordance with
the prluclPles announced When | entered
upon the duties of the Presidency. You
are, therefore, directed to see that prop
er orders are issued for the removal of
said troops at an early date from their
present position to such regular barracks
in the vicinity as may be selected for
their occupation,
