Statb op Louisiana, Executive Dep’t, )
New Orleans, August 1,1868. $
To Ilia Excellency Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent ot the United States :
Sir: I have the honor to forward to you, by
Lieut. Col. John F. Denne, of my staff, the
joint resolution adopted by the General As
sembly of this State, on the Ist day of August,
1868. I also enclose with it a petition from a
number of the most prominent and influential
citizens of North Louisiana, setting forth the
horrible outrages that are daily being perpe
trated in that portion of the State, together
with a letter from the Hon. G. W. Hudspeth,
Attorney tor the Eigath Judicial District,
showing the state of affairs that exists there
also. I send other letters ami papers, showing
clearly that in many of the parishes there ex
ists no protection for the citizens iu the courts,
and that men arc shot down in the roads, in
their houses and elsewhere, without a question
being asked or any st< ps taken to bring the
offenders Lo justice. The Judge of the twelfth
Judicial District refuses to go to the pariah of
Franklin unless a force is sent wilh him to pro
tect him from violence, and he is not obnox
ious on personal or political grounds, for in
polities he was opposed to the new eonsiitu
tution, aud is a lite-loug citizen of the State.
The sheriff of the parish ot Franklin, a Demo
crat, has resigned, confessing his inability to
make any arrests or discharge the dntics of his
office on account of the condition of affairs
there. Prominent Union men in the parish of
Caddo write me. that their hotnc9 are beset by
desperadoes, and that their lives and property
liavo thus far been saved from destruction
only by armed men who volunteer to guard
them. As you will see by the letter of
Mr. Hudspeth, District Attorney for the
eighth district, men, women and children
have recently been murdered in the parish of
St. Landry, by bands of armed men, who re
main, thus far, unpunished and unmolested.—
The enclosed newspaper, a Democratic journal,
published in Madison parish, shows clearly the
condition ot affairs there, in corroboration of
the statements contained in the petition of
Judge Crawford, Judge VVyly, and other gen
tlemen of North Louisiana.
From the very best information, Mr. Presi
dent, 1 have no doubt that one hundred and
fifty men have been murdered in Louisiana in
the last, month and a half. Startling any'.his
statement is, letters of the most reliable charac
ter fully confirm it. There seems t«R>o T set
tle and determination on the part men
who adhered to the rebellion tu|HK:r kill
or drive away the Union men four leading
colored men, so as to be able to terrify the
masses of the people into voting as they
shall dictate.’ There is a secret organization
throughout the State, known as ihe K. M.
C, the lull details of which “questions,”
oath<fct\, Colonel Dean will explain to you.
It is founded lor the purpose ot placing and
keeping the colored people io a conditiou of
inferiority, and with a view to this end contem
plates and designs the precipitation to conflict
between the two races. Many prominent citi
zens of-the State are leaders in it. Its mem
bers are. sworn under oaths of the most bind
ing character to cany out the purposes of the
organization at all costs, hazards aud sacrifices,
aud by measures however desperate, that their
leaders may adopt. It has now transpired that
the mob which ibreated the Legislature some
weeks siuce were only prevented from en
acting the scenes of the 30tb of July, 1860,
by the presence of the United States troops.
It was the deliberate determination of this
secret organization to assassinate the Lieu
tenant Governor and Speaker of the House
of Representatives for having „ v *Lded ques
lions, preliminary to the org-yzation of
the General Assembly in a manner obnox
ious to them. There are military organizations
ou foot in this city under the auspices of this
secret organization They declare openly in
our streets at night,Jor in halls easily to be seen.
In short, I firmly believe that there is medita
ted a bloody revolution, the certain fruit of
which would he long continued, if not hope
less confusion, disaster and ruin to the State.
The presence of United States troops, in my
judgment, is necessary to prevent this. The
organization of the militia is of very question
able expediency, inasmuch as it will be, under
tb(> prescut excited state ot mind, of one po
lities.! party artnnd to support Lite Government
against another, t wish to avert this, il possi
ble, and rcHpeetliilly request your Excellency
to put two regiments ot cavalry, a regiment of
infantry, together with a battery of artillery,
under the command ol some competent offi
cer, with orders to co-operate with me in re
pressing disorder and violence —arresl ing crim
iimls oikl peofeetiag the officers of Ibe law in
trying then}. The breaking up of all political
organi/.aliims, and a few examples of condign
punishment, of offenders, will secure peace in
the Slate as soon as the great excitement of the
present political campaign is over.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obcdi'uit servant,
