President Grant ON Affairs In Louis
lana.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The President
is preparing a message. which he will
send to Congress, after first submitting
it to the Cabinet, in which he makes
plain, but elaborate statement of facts
in connection with the Federal proceed
ings in Louisiana, in support of the de-
cision of the United States Courts. The
President is opposed to any legislation
by Congress ordering new election in
Louisiana, though he has no hesitation
in saying that there is no doubt that the
election in Louisiana was an organized
fraud from beginning to end for the bene-
fit OF those now in possession Of the Gov
eminent OF that State, and that there has
never yet been fair count OF votes; that
results have been reached by dishonest
means, too well known to be repeated.
Still it is his opinion, as recently private
/ ly expressed, that Congress has no more
right to order new election in Louis
lana than it has in any other State, be-
cause of local conflicts. All States now
being equal in the Union are entitled to
the same general protection from illega
or unconstitutional interference by any
branch Of the Federal Government as
they are against invasion.

Dear sir: Yours OF the Goth inst. is at
hand. | have not seen any of the arti-
cles which you Inform me H. S. Foote
has written in abuse Of me, nor have |
any desire to read whatever he might
write In the year 1871 published him
as constitutionaly liar and his subse-
quent career only served to confirm me
i'll that Judgment. Since that date,

utterances of said Foote. His hattery,

when faithless to his trust as Represen.
