Austin, Texas;
Your dispatches ard letter recit
ing the action of the Supreme Court
Of Texas in declaring the late oiec-
ton unconstitutional, and asking the
use Of troops TO prevent an appro-
hcnsiyc violence, are received. The
call Ia not made in accordance with
the Constitution of the United States,
and acts OF Congress under il, and
cannot therefore be granted. The
act Of the Legislature Of Texas pro-
yiding for the recent election having
received your approval, and both
political parties having conducted a
political campaign under its proyis
ions, would it not be prudent, as well
TO yield to the verdict of the
people, as expressed by their ballots?
u. :. GRANT.
In some cases it might be "pru-
dent" as well as right.
For instance where nothing can
be hoped from a clean majority of
$4,000 against the administration,
which would probably be largely in
creased in another election ordered.
But in Mississippi it is not a case
of another e%lction. Should the last
election have been held at all?
That's what's the matter.
