The Message of President Grant in repl..

The Message of President Grant IN reply
to a resolution of the Senate asking lntorma-
ton as to the interference Of United States
troops in Louisiana is published in full. The
President goes into long recital OF the dis
orders in the State, and claims that his inter
position was constitutional duty. lie
approves the acts of Sheridan, and declares
kellogg to be the lawful Governor. The
message, it is understood, was materially
modified from its first draught through the
efforts of some of the members Of the Cabl-
net and a number of Senators. The tone OF
the message confirms the opinion heretofore
entertained, that the only disagreement IN
the Cabinet was occasioned by Secretary
Belknap's assumption to represent the views
of the Cabinet in his dispatches to General
Sheridan, approving of his bandlttl recon-
mendations. The President signally fails TO
offer any apology, much less justification, tor
interference of the military forces OF the
United States with the organization OF the
State Legislature, and the only defence he
offers for the daring and high handed out
rage is that 'the army is not composed Of
lawyers capable of judging at moments
notice of just how far they could 60 in the
maintenance Of law and order"
The document is a weak. partizan effort
its conclusions drawn from what were proved
the most unreliable sources, and will III nc
wise palate, as it is evidently intended; the
grave offence that has been committed
against the American people and the funda
mental principles of republican institutions
Weighed in the balance Of fair criticism, as
state paper and as justification, it will be
found wanting; and, apparently, at last made
conscious of the enormity Of the crime tor
which nation will hold the administration
and its hackers responsible, the President
Enthusiastically undertakes to shift the re-
sponsibility on Congress.
