sembly, on the 18th, after a long and
violent debate, vote of confidence in
the Government was adopted by a
majority of 5S.. President Grant telegraphed
as follows, under date of the 18th, to Cover
nor Davis, of Texas: " Your dispatches and
letters, reciting the action of the Supre me
Court of Texas, in declaring the late election
unconstitutional, and asking for the
use of troops to prevent an apprehended vio-
lence, are received. The call is not made in
accordance with the Constitution of the
United States and the acts of Congress under
it, and cannot, therefore, be granted. The
acts of the Legislature of Texas providing for
the recent elections have received your ap-
proyal, and both political parties having
made nominations and having conducted the
political campaign under its provisions, would
it not be prudent as well as right to yield to
the verdict of the people as expressed by their
ballots?" Hon. William Alien, Governor

not order a new election for Louisiana.
