New Orleans, La., April 10, 1867. 2.

I assisted him, but with no success, and he is now at Baltimore, Maryland. After the battle of Shiloh, I found among the prisoners Cadet----, fitted him out with some clean clothing, of which he was in need, and from him learned that Cadet Workman was killed in that battle. Governor Moore's plantation was devastated by General Banks's troops. After the war he appealed to me, and through the Attorney-General, Henry Stanbery, I aided in having his land restored to him, and I think he is now living there. Bragg, Beauregard, and Taylor, enacted high parts in the succeeding war, and now reside in Louisiana or Texas.

In consequence of this resolution the President expressed to the Attorney-General (then Mr. Henry Stanbery) the opinion that there was no good reason why the trial should not proceed, and asked what remained for the Executive to do that such result might be reached.
