buking wrong and aiding the proper
authorities IN furnishing it, a better
state of feeling would be incuicated,
and the sooner we would have that
peace, which would leave the States
free to regulate iEeir own domestic
affairs. l believe that on the part of
the citizens Of tbe Southern States, the
better of them, there is disposition to
be law-abiding and to do no violence
either to individuals or to the laws ex-
is'ing. But do they do righ, in ignor-
Ing the existence of violence and blood
shed in resistance TO constituted au-
thOrity, sympathizs with their pros
trate condition, acknowledging that in
some instances they have had most try
ing Governments to live under, and
very oppressive ones in the way of tax
alton for nominal improvements, no.
giving benefits equal to the hardships
imposed. But can they pledge them
selves entirely irresponsible for this
condition They cannot. Violence
has been rampant in some localities,
and has either been justified or denied
by those who could have prevented it.
TIE LAWS To BE ENFORCED.
The theory is even raised that there
is to be no further interference on the
part of the General Government to pro-
tect citizens within a State where the
State authorities fail to give protection.
This is great mistake While | re-
main Executive, all the laws o. Con-
gress and the provisions; of the Con-
stitutIon, including the recent amend
ments added thereto, will be enforced
with rigor, but with regret that they
should have. added one jot or title to
Executive duties or powers. Let there
be fairness IN, the discussion of the
Southern question, the advocates of
both. or all .Political.parties giving hon.
est,I truthful reports of occurrences,
cOndemning the wrong, and uphclding
the right, and soon all will be we'll.

On the night of the 18th inst, the
two men who stole Charlie Ross, were
shot, and killed while attempting to
get away from the house Of Judge
Van Brunt, at Bay Ridge, l.. l..
The house was unoccupied, and was
IN a manner under the supervision
while in that state Of j Holmes Van
Brunt. brother to the Judge. 1t ap-
pears that the brothers had a system
of burglar alarms in use between the
houses, so that if the attempt of bur
glary was made on one house the alarm
would be given in the other house.
On the night above stated the bur-
glar alarm in Holmes Van Brunt's
house indicated tha; an attempt was
being made to get into the Judges
house. Mr. Van-Brunt called up his
son, who aroused couple of bired men.
The four now quickly armed themselves
with guns and pistols and went over to
the Judges house, which was but a
stones throw distant, and situated
themselves around i; SO that the bur-
glars then in it-as was plainly told by
the iitting,to and fro of light in the
hOuse-couid not escape without being
seen. Half an hour was spent in wait
ing, when a roise was made on the out
side Of the house. Fifteen minutes
more elapsed'before the thieves appear
ed at a cellar d0or to leave tie house.
They were ordered to stop. :. The re-.
sponse was the discharge Of revolvers
at the Van Brunts. But the thieves
had got into the wrong family. Among
The Van Brun;s there was no compro-
mise. They returned the FIRE. The
burglars ran, and while doing so kept
up steady fire on the Vah-Brunts,
who were there, uncoosciOusIy to them
selves, to administer heavens retribu-
tive justice on the criminals. Their
running did not save them. The fam
lily whom they attempted to rob were
steady in their aim and purpose, and
after many shots had been exchanged
the robbers lay on the ground dying.
None Of their shots took effect. The
one was so nearly shot to death that be
could not talk, and died quite soon
the other had enough of life left to tell
that his name was joseph Douglass, and
that of his confederate was William
Mosher, and that they were well known
to the police of New York and other
cities as old offenders, and that they
had stolen Charlie Ross but he did
not tell the whereabouts Of the boy.
Douglass had about $40 in money in
his pocket.

Your attention will be drawn TO the
unsettled condition of affairs in some of
the Southern States. On the l4th Of
September last, the Governor of Lou
isiana called upon me, as provided By
the Constitution and laws of the United
States, to aid in suppresslng domestic
violence in that State. This call was
made in view Of proclamation issued
on that day by d. b. Penn, claiming
that he was elected Lieutenant Cover
nor in 1872, and calling upon the mill
tia Of the State 10 arm, assemble and
drive from power the usurpers, as he
designated the officers of the State
Government. Ga the next day | issued
a proclamation, commanding tie insur-
gents to disperse within FIVE days frciu
the date thereof, and subsequently
learned that on that day they had taken
forcible possession Of the State House.
Steps were taken by me to surpor; the
existing and recognized State Govern
ment, but befOIe the expiration Of the
FIVE days the insurrectionary movement
was practically abandoned, and the
officers Of the State Government, with
some minor exceptions, resumed their
powers and duties Considering that
the present State administration of Lou
isiana has been the only Government in
that State for nearly two years, that it
has been racit.y acknowledged and ac-
quiesced in as su,h by Congress, and
more than oncs expressly recognized By
he, regarded it as my clear duty,
wbe3 legally called upon for that pur-
pose, to prevent its overthrow by an
armc / mob under preteuce Of fraud and
Irregularity in the election of lS.2. /
have hereto ore called the attention of
Congress to this subject, statirg that on
account OF the frauds and iorgeries
committed at said election, and because
II appears hat the returns thereof were
never legally eanvassed, it was impossi-
BILE to tell thereby who were chosen
hat firm the best sources of iufurma-
non at my command, | have always be

u unaj rity Of TIE legal votes actually
