PRESIDENT GRANTS vIEW3-

arrived here about o'clock this afternoon. He
had arranged BY telegraph to meet several
prominent gentlemen, including Senator Ed
muntis, Of Vermont, and Gen. Garfield. He has
been busy during the evening In conference with
them. The President is very thoughtful about
the situation, and has but one determination,
and that is that there shall be IN honest count
of the yotc In Louisiana, and that, so far Is l1es
In the Chief Executive Of the nation. the per-
soa who received the greatest number OF
Electoral votes shall be inaugurated. President
Grant is kecnly conscious OF the responsibilities,
and determined to see it that the laws shall he
faithfully executed, and that the Republic shall
receive no detriment. It is now considered
fact established that the election Of President
will turn upon the results OF the election IN
Louisiana Advices received here by the Prcst-
dent and by persons high In authority, this
evening, conc1usiyely show that the managing
members Of the Democratic Committee concede
TINT the Republicans have
CARRIED BOTH SOUTH CAROLINA AND FLORIDA.
The fact that the Democrats are sending no
prominent men to Florida Of itself Is considered
an admission that the State Is conceded to tho
Republicans.
The President has thought 1t advisable that
a number OF prominent Republicans Of all sec
tious of the country, including some members
of Congress, shall be present in New Orleans
dnrinp the count Of the vote. This action has
been determined upon In consequence OF tho
determination of the Democratic Committee to
send representative men Of that party to,
Louisiana The President has requested by
telegraph the gentlemen whose names folio"
to be in New Orleans On that occasion. Gen.
Loran has declined. Senator Edmunds, OF YER
mont has also declined, on account OF ill-health"
William NJ. Evarts has taken the matter under
adyisement, but will probably accept The 1oi-

Gen. Ruger, who has command OF the troops
in Florida, is Democrat, and very conserva'
tive man. Gen. Augar, in command at New

to protect the Returning Board In the discharge
