The President On His Defense.

The President On His Defense.
From the St. Louis Republican.
President Grants reasoning on
the Louisiana question l,etrays,
the position of a man who has
wandered from the right track and |
is trying to get back by going |
ahead in the wrong direction. /!
When the president espoused the
cause Of Casey and Kellogg two
years ago, We told him he had
made mistake which would give
him trouble and trouble he has
had with the question ever since.
Louisiana is a thorn in the side
of his administration which he re.
fuses to pluck out, because he
thrust it there himself. He is like
the Spartan boy who hid a stolen
squirrel in his bosom and suffered
it to gnaw into his heart rather
than disclose the theft by taking
it out.
The president argues that he
was bound to suppress the Penn
insurrection of September in Lou
isiana, because it was hostile to
the state government which he
had recognized two years before.
Ite says: considering that the
present state administration of
Louisiana had been the only gov
eminent in that state for nearly
two years, that it has been tacitly
acknowledged and acquiesced in
as much by congress and more
than once expressly acknowledged
by me- 1 regard it as my clear
duty, when legally called upon
for that purpose, to prevent its
overthrow A careful study OF
these words reveals the preposte-
rons doctrine that any organize
tion "tacitly acknowledged and &C
qniesced in by congress and ac-
knowledged by men as the lawful
government Of a state, is the law.
full government Of that state, and
must be maintained by force o.
arms, if need be. The organiza.
ton thus recognized by congress
and the president as the state gov.
ment may be only a dozen per
sons; the whole people may be
organized against it; it may be
All usurpation of conspirators !; i,
may have any character; never.
tlleless-ifitcan manage to secure
from the president an acknowl
edgment and from congress q
mere acquiescence 1t is the STATE
government. IT this doctrine bs
correct, Republican president
with, not the approval, but the
mere acqniescence of q Republican
majority in congress, has adthori
t. to declare every one Of the
twenty-five Democratic states O
the Union in rebellion, by recog
nizing the defeated Republican
candidates as their lawful govern
ors.
j The presidents reasons in q cir
Gle. The present Kellogg govern
ment has indeed 1been the onl,
government in Louisiana for near
" two years !" but this is because
he would not allow any other gov
eminent to exist here. He know,
well that but for his aid the Kel
logg usurpation could not hav,

two years. Its existence is no
due to itself, but to him; he Great

Fits PRESIDENT |
The narrow personalism that
has entered into and governed
this grave matter is strikingly
and rather lndicrously reflected in
the prominence which the, presl-
dent gives to the little personal
pronoun. "More than once ex.
pressly acknowledged by mep is !
spoken as il it were conclusive of
the whole question. It is some.
thing in favor of the Kellogg gov
eminent that it has been acquies-
ced in by congress; but the su-
preme and final proof Of it's right
to govern on unwilling people is
that it has been acknowledged by
"me.n There is not another ruler
h all the world, we imagine, who
would attempt to squeeze the ex-
ecutive power of his government
into the compass Of this ungra-
cious pronoun.
The president so far forgets
himself as the assume judicial
functions and attempt to determ-
inc the legality Ut the Louisiana
election of 1872. He says that

geries committed at that election,
and because it appears that the
returns thereof were never legally
canvassed, it was impossible to
tell who was chosen; but from
the best sources of information at
may command, I have always be.
lieved that the present state off,
GERS received q majority of the
legal votes actually cast at that
election If it be not disrespec-
full we would ask the president to
