THE PRESIDENT TO THE SECRETARY OF

TErecutire Mansion, Washington, April
20, 1S77-Sir: Prior to my entering upon
the duties of the Presidency there had d
been stationed, by order of my predeces- o.
sor, in the immediate vicinity. of the bull ,
ding used as State House in New Or,
leans, La, and known as the Mechanical
Institute, a detachment of United States
infantry. Finding them in that place /
have thought proper to delaythe decision.
OF the question, of their removal. until.
could determine whether the condition of
affairs is now such as to either require or I
Justify continued military intervention of9l
the national government in the affairs of
the State. In my opinion there does not
now, exist in Louisiana such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the constil'h o
tuition as the ground upon which the 1f
military power of the national govern
lnent may be invoked for the defense Of
the State. '-'- -''' -'i 81 'h-.''''
The disputes which exist as to the right &
OF certain claimants of the chief execu- 4
tive officer OF that State are to be settled
and determined, not by the executive of
the United States, but by such peaceable
and orderly methods as may be'provideds
by the constitution and laws of the State!lo
Having the assurance that no resort to G.
violence is contemplated, but that on the
contrary the disputes in, question are to
be settled bypeaceful methods, under and 81
in accordance. with law, L deem it proper 81
to take action in accordance with the
principles announced when L entered
upon the duties of the Presidency. You
are therefore directed to see that proper p
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 occu "
patton. -,-, Il. b. HAYES,
