son. The true return being printed in so
many forms, it was absurd TO think that
he would alter It, and yet upon this false
pretext he was convicted. l still hope
this conviction will not be carried into
execution, but if it is, as a matter OF
course deep feeling of resentment and
hostility will exist in the minds OF the
great mass of our people, who believe
that these returning officers did but their
simple duty. Nothing has been done
pending the trial to interfere
IN any way with the course
of the judicial proceedings, but if An
derson is imprisoned under this sentence
it will be mockery of public justice and
will bring into contempt all efforts st
peace and cencilIation. 1t is an un-
looked for and terrible commentary upon
the the efforts of the President to quiet
the turbulence and violence of Louisiana
politics, and seems to me an act of folly
and madness. The following is the dis
patch referred to:
WAsHiNGToN, February IL.

leans, La:
The undersigned feel it due TO you,
under the present circumstances, 10 as
sure you of our unhesitsting belief thst
IN the n after whereof you stand charged
you are altogether guiltless OF
any otiense against the law;
that you are falsely accused and mali
cIously prosecuted; that the proceeding
against you, though in the form of law,
is without the substance of justice; that
we hereby tender our earnest sympsth!es
and express our hope that the sense OF
Justice and love of peace of the people oil
Louisiana will protect you end not per-
nit the best interests OF the whole coun-
try to be disturbed by revival OF sec.
ti0nal animosities. In any event we are
confident that the American people Will
redress any injustice of which you may
be made the victim.

Hayes Writes u Letter on tho Sub
ject.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
President has written letter to Attor-
ney General Devens on the subject OF
General Anderson's conviction in New
Orleans. 1t is reported that while it is
temperate in tone, regret is expressed
that such proceedings should have taken
place, as, apart from Gil other considera-
tlohs, they tend TO disturb the
Cancellation which it was hoped
would be satisfactory to all parties
in Louisiana. There is, however, no
opportunity to night to learn with GER
tainty the exact tenor of the letter.
Though the President read ii to Attor-
bey-Genersl Devens to-day the Attorney
General has not yet been placed IN pos
session of it, and for this reason he does
not think it would be courteous at present
to communicate even tho substance it
contains.
