GRANT NOT RESPoNsIBLBF FOR WALKERS
RLECTIoN.,
They also claim that the Walker
movement In Virginia was supported
by President Grant, but the latter has
authorized the publication OF the flct
that the refusal OF the Chairman Of the
Conservative Central COMMITTEES ofthe
State to accept the proposal from Inc

differences, 10 sufficient proof to him
that the leaders OF the Walker party
do not honestly Intend 10 keep thelr
promises OF reconciliation.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS CANCELLATION.
He publicly proclaimed his desire
that the Issues involved in the contest
resulting In his election shall be forey.
ever buried. Those issues, according
to his interpretation, include the prIna
ciples announced In his inaugural, and
embrace an unequivocal acceptance OF
the reconstructlon acts, and cordial
submission to the requirements OF the
Fifteenth Amendment.
MERE PROMISES NOT GOOD.
He is not willing 10 accept mere

sion to all this, but requires addional
proof OF acts, which will show that the
freedmen and white men OF the South.
without regard to their political opIn.

criptlon, many OF which have been
most vigorously executed In Virginia
and Tennessee, have reached him and
influenced him to the belief, as we have
stated, that the Conservative leaders of
the South are not honest In their pro-
lessons.
MASSACHUSETTS HELD UP AS A MODEL.
In several letters written to promI.
nent Southern leaders, lately, he has
announced mis- determination to ad.
here to the Radicals until, as In Massa.
chusetts, Conservatives, Democrats,
Republicans, Radicals, blacks or
whites, all alike, are allowed to exer-
else the right oil franchise without In
timidation OF any kind. He says the
experience Of Virginia has assured him
that such condition OF affairs does
not exist In the South now.
IN CONCLUSION,
He authorized the statement 10 be
made public, that the object and IN.
hlnchinH policy Of his Administration
will be 10 secure q cheerful co.opera.
ton and obedience 10 the laws OF Con-
gress, particularly relating to the re.
construction Of the Southern States,
and that when he has accomplished
this he feels confident that the political
issues, now pending development, will
not be OF character calculated TO breed
dIscord and serious difference between
the new parties which will necessarily
supplant those OF the present day, by
the tiual disposal OF the questions in.
volved In the forthcoming Southern
elections.
ENOUGH FOR PROOF.

say that heis determined TO have peace
throughout the ends OF the land, on the
basis OF the Congressional policy OF re.
construction. he does not understand
that peace can BIZ accomplished through
any other means than by 3 peaceable
aud quiet acceptance and submission
to the laws. He bus often, during the
interviews referred to, reasserted the
declaration embraced In his inaugural,
that the most decided way OF securing
the appeal Of an obnoxious law Is It's
vigorous enforcement.
