See how the quaek doctors disagreed:

This was designed by the Conven-

Now read this from the Cincin-

What the Message Means.

If President Grants special message on
the Louisiana business is to be accepted by
congress and the country as having any
force and meaning, it is this: That under
circumstances similar to those in Louisi-
ana, the President would be justified in
dispensing an Opposition house at Wash
ington and organizing Republican house
10 its stead. This is the startling inference
plainly deducible from the President plea.
Indeed, he all but declares it in so many
words when he says:
Each branch of legislative assembly is the
Judge OF the election and qualifications of Its own
members; but II a mob or body OF unauthorized
persons seize and hold the Legislative hall in tu-
multuous and riotous manner and go prevent any
organization by those legally returned elected, it
might become the duty Of the state executive to in
terpose II requested by majority Of the members
elect to suppress the disturbance and enable the
persons elected to organize the house. Any eXer
else Of this power would be justifable under most
circumstances, and 1t then would be the duty Of
the governor to call upon the constabuary, or, If
necessary, the military force Of the state.''
Where does President Grant or his at
torney- general find the law for this extra
ordinary assertion? In what book of stat
utes, federal or state, in what part of the
constitution, or in what rec ,gnized code of
parliamentary rules does he find warrant
for the assumption that thegovernor of a
StaIc udy treat Oue-nalI Oh nOuSc Vi rep
resentatlves as mob, expel it from the
chamber and make a legislature of the
other half? 1t is the right of legislature
to organize itself if it fails to organize at
the FIRST attempt,it must make another, land
another and another; it must keep on at
the work, day after day-as many legisla-
lures have done before this-until
it succeeds; If the minority, by a
violation of law, secures the organ
ization and control, it is still in
the power of the majority to withdraw,
effect lawful organization, and submit
the question of its legality to the proper
tribunals. There is no warrant for the
governor to interfere in the proceedings
with an armed force, and assume the task
of organization the body: and when Presi-
dent Grant declares that Gov. Kellogg
may do this in Louisiana, be as good as
declares that President Grant may do it
in Washington city, And why not? Ii

intimidstions which the message presents
