LoGG, that individual Is as much under bis
direction as re is under his protection, and
he may require him TO do what he pleases
upon pain of removal, if he is diSobedient.
We have "pretty kettle of fish " in this
Louisiana business. Two venerable law
gers are grayely discussing the question
whether General GRANT has right to
change his Louisiana policy-review bis
acts or is bound to stand by KELLOGG. Mr..
CHARLES O'CoNoR, of New York, supports
the right of the President TO reconsider his
acts, and Mr.. RkvERDY JOHNSON, of Balti-
more, contends that he has not such right.
No discussion We ever beard Of was Of less
impc rtance. General GRANT will do rs he
p,eases about Louisiana, and both the learned
jurists conceded everything when they ac'
kuowledged the right of General GRANT to
interfere at first in the manner he did.
General GRANT is practically Governor OF
Louisiana, and can do what he pleases with
Kellogg and McESERy and everybody else
there. His organ, in fact, claims this right,
in saying that because KELLOGG recognized
the McEneryites the President will do
something justified by KELLcGG's faitbless'
ness.
II short, Louisiana is under the power OF
the President to dispose Of her as be pleases,
and SO il principle is every other State in
2ihis Union as well as Louisiana.
