t to begio between all tljb members of the I Sec ate aud uiyself will be pleasant and > agreeable. I shall exert every influence in my power to make thuui so, and iuvoke the eordial support of the Senate in the consummation of this purpose. 1 know that my principal duty will be to enforoe the rules which the Senate, of whom 1 am simk ply the organ, have made, aud this I will endeavor to do with fairness and impartiality. I solicit yonr forboarance and patience. I ^ rea|ixe that my position as presiding officer debark me from the priviloge of participating in the debates, and that it will be improper for me to use my official position for the purpose of influencing yonr legislation, but as a citizou I can but naturally feel an ardent interost in your work, so far as it affects our common mother, the State, and a proper pride iu sceiug you contribute to hor restoratiou to her place iu the front rank of j, her peers amongst the bright stars of the American galaxy. Such a feeliug, I think, should burn in the bosom of evety Senator, ? and you should enter upoti the work of re* i.?: - = ?<;uv>iUi>wu, i.a.mg ?rur iu view me oia Woman maxiui, "To take euro that the republic^ should suffer no detriment ut their hands.k I suggest that you lay aside all the animosities and turmoils of the past, and, forgeling all antagonisms, unite as a common bend of brothers for the promotion of the best interests of all classes, races aud conditions of the people of the State. Then you may rightfully expect not ouly to receive the plaudits of your fellow-countrymen, but, when sitting hereafter within the ^grateful shade of the geuoral prosperity whioh will flow out of your work, could caoh look back with just pride to his individual participation in it, * Mr. Jeter then announced to tho Chair that tho senators from Abbeville, Barnwell, Edgefield aud Laurens were proseut and ready to qualify. The Seuators from those counlios (Democrats) then approached tho President's ' desk and presented their credentials. 2 'Some sensation was created among tho * Radicals by this, and ono of them shouted ; out n motion t<J adjourn. Another cried, "Let us do tjiis peaceably." The President said that every county had a right to ho represented in the Senate, and . where parties present their credentials they have a right to he sworu in. Those claimants who come last have equal rights with those who como first. Auy other construe- ' tiou could be made to preveut an organizn- c tion of the Senate forever. Swails demanded whetlier th* Chair in- J tended to override all laws, all rules and all precedents, and went on to make a most iudigunnt speech against the admission of these Democratic Senators. Mr. Cochran put an end to his effusion by presenting a letter from T. M. Tolbcrt withdrawing hjf^gluii tb the seat of the _ Scniftor fro^i Abbeville, and General Gary also pscscotgd one from Lawrence Cain I also withdrawing his claim to General Gary's seat. Colonel Simpson said it was not his intention to override the rules, or the -laws or precedents, but he tjiought it* his duty to administer the oath to these claimants. If $ he was wronjj the Senate was not without its remedy. , _,. t( Tuft lheu*Safd he would appeal from the T ruling of the Chair. 1 The Chair said an appeal could only lie Tl from a ruling on a poiut of order, and no point of order had beeii ruled upon, The four Senators were then sworn in, and the seuate adjourned till lo-dav.

M.?In accordance with the telegraphic promise of to- q day to the members of the Louisiana Commission in New Orleans, the President line just sent the following official letter to tlio Secretary of War: . Executive Mansion, April 20, 1877. , . Sir : Prior to my entering upon the duties of the Presidency there had been stationed, by ur' dcr of my predecessor, in the immediate vicinity of the building used as a State House in New Orleans, La., and known as the Mechanics' In- * .stitnte, a detachment of the United States Infantry. Finding them in that place, 1 have thought proper to delay a decision of the question of their rcmovel until 1 could determine whether the condition of nilairs is now such as to either require or justify continued military intervention of the National Government in the ? affairs of the Stale. In my opiuion thoro does lence as is contemplated by tlie Constitution as the ground upon whioh the military power of the National Government may bo invoked for the defence of the State, The disputes which exist as to the right of cer tun claim nils to the ehef executive office of that Stale arc to be settled and determined, uot by the Executive of the United States, but by such orderly and peaceable methods as may be provi- ? ded by the Constitution and laws of the State. Having the assurance that no resort to violence is contemplated, but that, on the contrary, the disputes in question are to be settled by peaceful methods, under and in accordance with law, I deem it proper to take action in accordance rj, with the principles announced when I entered upon the duties of tho Presidency. You are therefore directed to see that the proper orders are issued for the removal of said troops at an early date from the present position ' % to such regular barracks in the vicinity as may \\ be selected for their occupation. 1^ 11.
