PRESIDENTS SPECIAL. ME-
SAGE.

wiihoK- being suppressed With u
actual need Of all and more than has
been used of "miliiary Interference
in that State, Of the wisdom and con-
stitu,ional right of its use, and of the
perfect honesty and integrity and
nonpaTtizmship OF the President IN
ar bis acts relating to the Louisiana
affairs, then he must be man inca
pable Of forming q correct judgment
from radical party bias Of prejudice.
While there Is nothing in the spirit
Or language OF this document y give
Just offence to those whose sympa-
fhies are With the men and party
Who are 1t the foundation Of all these
troubles, II is emphatic in condemna-
ton OF the louisiana disturbances,
both 81 early and recent data, and
determined in its demands for the
rule Of law and order there. There
is not one particle ofcomfort in It for
those partizans who have been abu-
sing the Executive of the nation for
his smilitary interference" and hold
ing him responsible for a violation
Of the law and the constitution for
the part the military took in the
eme,lte Of January 18th. Ga the con-
trary, giving a condensed history OF
the first troubles in Louisiana, and
tracing them up to that difficulty,
proving the actual necessity FOR mill
tary aid outside of any that could be
rendered in the State or by State
authorities whose authority was deni-
ed, for the protection of the civil
rights and the lives ofcertain classes
81 citizens, and quoting the law for
every step Of the course, the Presl-
dent proves that he has been not only
well intended and non partlzan, but
right in his whole course. The mes
sage is complete answer to the
Speeches Of Schurz and others IN
Congress, in many Of their most prom
inent points affecting the acis and
designs OF this Administration in
connection with the military in Louis
lana.
That portion Of the message rela-
ting to the January 4th proceedings
in the hall Of the House, will be read
with particular interest. Il is sue
cinct statement Of The facts, and the
President is BY no means backward
in giving emphatic expression 10 his
opinion OF the course Of the Demo
crats as proven BY these facts. He
thus concludes on one point:
.Whetlier II was wrong for the
Governor, at the reques, Of the ma
iority Of the members returned as
elected in the House, TO use such
means as were in his power to defeat
these lawless and revolutionary pro
ceedings, is perhaps debatable
but it Is quite certain that
there would have been no trouble If
those who now complain Of Illegal in
reference had allowed he House to
be organized in a lawful and regular
manner. When those who inaugu-
rate disorder or anarchy disavow
such proceedings, it win be time
enough to condemn those who, by
such means as they have, prevented
the success Of their lawless and des-
nerate schemes"
: That IS plain talk and plainly cali
ed for BY the circumstances. The
Democrats are SO intent in deloun-
cling "military Interference that
they have had no time veto rebuke
and disavow the disorder and anarchy
which caused the Governor to call
for this interference after the Demo
Gratis themselves had called for and
used it for their own purposes. When
they do this. as the President sug-
gesis, it viii be time enough to con-
denim those who, even by military
interference, prevented this anarchy
from being successful. But this mes
sage will be read and Thoroughly dis
cussed over the whole country. We
nave probably said enough TO induce
many who have not read it to do so.
It was very imperfectly received here
