The PRESIDENTS message on the situation in
Louisiana, in compliance with resolution of the
Senate, with the accompanying documents,
furnish information, which shows the Injustice
and renders nugatoTy all the charges against the
Pr .sident and Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan In relation to
the organization OF the Louisiana Legislature on
the 4th. instant. The President had given no
orders In relation to the organization of the
Legislature and the first he knew of the use of
the military he read in the papess the next morn
ing. And General Sheridan was not In command
at the time the Legislature organized and the
military was used. Gen Sheridan says however
that he Is willing to be held responsible for the
use OF the military and believes that without il
there would have been blood shed.
The message 10 mild and concilatory but firm.
Sheridan was sent TO Louisiana and other States
to report the situation and to assume command II
ne thought it advisable and what he has done is
approved OF. The President thinks the trial O:
the White Leagcers as bandtti by military
commission II I was law for it would restore
peace to Louisiana and other rebellioas States.
The courts OF Louisiana and the United States
having sustained Kellogg as Governor of Lonis
lana .thePresident has recognised him asGoyerno,
and will continue to do unless Congress otherr
wise provides. And while he is President no elias,
OF people in any section of country shall be
deprived of their rights rtransgress the laws with

ILLEGlBLE WRITING.

If teachers feel annoyed because their
pupils names do not appear correctly
spelled in the Educational they will find
the fault is their own and the remedy
lies in forming your letters so they can
be read. I have been unable to tell
what some letters were when asked bv
the typo. In the case OF list OF names
there is no context to aid the printer,
hence the greater necessity for legible
writing. J.P.B.

afternoon. Its long and weak.
1t commences with the order, peace
and prosperity of the State and the
peaceable assembling OF the members
in the Capitol and the organization
of the Legislature with none to dis
pute their authority or choice.
From the Wisconsin Legislature
tie Governor passes to the Louisiana
Legislature and attempts to speak
in condemnatie n of President
Grant and Lieutenant General Sher-
dan in relation to the organization
Of the Legislature, but fails to say
what he intended to, and makes a
sorry mess Of what he did say.
He then speaks of the funds and
affairs Of the State and probably
makes fair and correct statement.
Taxation and the collection Of taxes
receive attention. He favors collecting
taxes twice year, or,if the taxes are
all collected as now, favors placing
the money on interest till is needed.
He thinks the earnings Of telegraph
and express companies. sleeping
cars and colored freight lines should
be taxed. He thinks the registry
law should be repealed, that the
time Of closing the polls should be
made later for the accommodation
of laboring men, that the corrupt
use Of money should be prohibited
and that the law should be amended
so as to prevent fraud or injustice in
the canvassing of votes.
Military companies, fish culture,
land grants, cheap fuel. executive
duties, immigration, charitable in
stitutions, State Prison, agricultural
societies. public schools, university,
intermediate schools, improvement
of Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, ,aii-
read commission, railroad contro.
versy, protection of foreign capital.
railroads and agricultural classes, the
Potter law and the respective duties
OF the Legislature and the Governor
are all spoken of.
The Governor favors a modifica-
ton Of the Potter law. so as to
make it flexible as to charges under
the control Of the commissioners.
The Potter law may and probably
does need to be amended. but we
apprehend the people of the state
will not be willing to leave much
hexibility of the law with the Gov
ernor's commissioners. Let the
law be amended as far as may be
with the knowledge within the reach
of the Legislature, so as to do exact
and equal justice to the railroads
and the people. And with such
amendments let the law remain till
further information shall show it's
defects.
The Governors second message,
like MS first, is strong in making
general recommendations and weak
in making special recommend atoms.
We think it would be difficult for any
one, even the Governor himself, to
tell just what he recommends in any
specialcase. Consequently there would
be considerable uncertainty in leg
islatlng so as to meet any of the
Governors recommendations.
