CIRCUMSTANCES OF GOVERNORS IN SEVERAL
STATES.
BOSTON, Jan. 7, 1875.
The following passage was added by Govern
or CASTOR to his address shortly before its de-
livery:
The presence of an armed force of the United
States in legislature of State for the purpose
of settling an election contest between political
parties is matter of great concern to all people
of all States, more especially in case where
the possible effect of such presence may be to
subvert the popular will and impose upon q
people rulers whom they have not selected.
invite the immediate attention of the Legisla-
ture to this subject
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 7, 1875.
Governor Allen has just sent the following
message to the General Assembly, which was
referred to the Committee on Federal Rela-
tions:
desire to call your attention to the grave
circumstance Of the interference Of federal
troops in the organization and proceedings OF
the Legislature Of sister State. IF the report
ed action Of the military in unseating persons
isature and giving their places to persons con-
testing the same is true and is legal and proper,
then the same interference would be legal and
proper here, aud it seems to me to be the duty
of the representatives of the people of this State
to at once enter a vigorous protest against an
action that may be made precedent at some
future time for the overthrow of civil govern
ment here. If there is law warranting the
settling of contested election cases i'm State
Legislatures by the use of federal troops, then
in my judgment you should request its imme-
diate repeal; If there is no law for it, then
your indignant protest should be heard at
Washington, insisting upon such action by
Congress as will prevent in the future such ia
grant outrages against civil liberty.
NASHVILLE, Jan. 7, 1875.
Governor Brown in his message to-day refers
to Louisiana matters as follows:
Permit me to express my congratulations
| that, unlike the Legislative Assembly of our
sister State, you have been allowed to assem-
BILE peaceably and perfect your organization
without intimidation. No military force sur
rounds your Capital or drives from their right
full seats the representatives Of the people. The
edict of petty tyrant does not here avail to
disperse the State Legislature. Yet, your i'm
munity from such an outrage is just now made
more CONSPICUOUS by the spectacle of Louisiana
trampled under foot and despoiled of her liber-
ties. If we may credit the reports that reach
US through the daily press and which seem to
have the sanction of official authority, the pow
er of the national government through its mil
itary arm is being used for the subversion of
the liberties of the people of Louisiana. Posi-
bly, it is not in your power to do more than in
terpose solemn and earnest protest against
this glaring crime. Yet if this be all that the
representatives of so valorous State as Ten
nessee may do, trust that your protest may be
made with such emphasis and earnestness as to
arrest the attention of every patriotic citizen in
this Republic and awaken the people every
where to sense of the danger that threatens
our constitutional liberties.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. Z, 1875.
The Legislature organized to-day. Govern
or Woodson's Message is q lengthy document,
devoted almost exclusively to State affairs.
Touching the Louisiana question the Governor
takes strong ground against the Kellogg gov
eminent and federal interference, and urges the
Legislature to adopt resolutions expressive OF
the indignation felt by the people of Missouri
at the policy pursued by the President and the
| radical party
