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, 11. A. Warmoutit, Governor of Louisiana. Washington, August fi—p. M. Genera! Kilpatrick, Minister io Chili, has leave of absence, and returns homo first ol September. The Presjdenl has accepted Rollins’ resigns t.ion without any remark on conditions, which still hold.

It Ss understood that Ryans tonic sttnng grounds against Rollins’ removal, except on the terms of his resignation, or fry suspension for cause under the tenure ot office bill, threat ening, otherwise, to withdraw from the Cabinet.. Meantime Rollins is utterly obnoxious to the President and McCulloch. It is said, however, that Rollins has modified the terms of his resig nation, and, on the same authority (doubtful), that Gen.

Dean the opinion lint decision, lie, wished it to he understood that the same course would be followed by the Secretary of War towards Louisiana and Flori da that prevails in Tennessee; that is in effect that there are sufficient troops in those States to suppress disorders,land that they would be used for that purpose, upon proper applica tion from the State, under rue direction, how ever, of United States officers. With t nis un official expression ol opinion the matter was referred to the War Department and remains in abeyance until Gen. Schofield's return on Saturday. New York. New York, August fi.
