Gar said during his entire reign his

efforts have been in vain. \ confer
cnce of tho powers is now about to

Interview with the President.


New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Herald
has the following interview with
President Grant at Washington last
night. Upon being asked what his
solution was of the present situation,
he said promptly: Everything now
depends upon fair count"
The charge of corruption and fraud
made against the republicans by their
political opponents was then discussed
and lie said the politicians of the
South may instigate all sorts of
atrocities and even be parties to them
to the extent of committing murder
and nothing much is said or thought
about it, but when fairness in election
according to the lawful plan is insist
ed upon great complaint is made and
there is charge of unfairness. He
went on to say that in order to he
satisfied as well rs to have n similar
conviction carried to the minds of the
American people that there would be
fair count of votes for the electors
in Louisiana, hc had made up his
mind some days since to invite TO go
to Louisiana certain public men of
irreproachable character and respec-
liability whose opinions and judgment
would carry conviction to the whole
American people. 1t was not done
as counter movement to that Of the
democrats under call of their political
managers. which latter action lie un-
derstood was in compliance with the
request of the people of Louisiana.
He seemed to feel that the end in
view, favoring justice and honesty,
would be subscrved by the course
| taken.
incidentally he remarked that the
sending Of troops into South CARROLL
ma and the Southern States has pro-
duced good effect, and has main
tanned peace. lie did not anticipate
any trouble if proper precautions
were taken in time. All that rup.
ture of the peace needed for its
prevention was firmness, promptness
and decision, as well as having force
enough at command to nip it in the
bud.
"Do you anticipate trouble i'm the
South, Mr.. President" / asked. "Oh,
no." he replied with a smile 81 have
made ii rule through life never to
anticipate trouble. l never look fol-
it until it comes, but l believe in be.
ing prepared for it, and having the
means at command to check H."
A reference to the result of tho
Presidential election brought from
HIM the opinion that he has hereto
fore invariably expressed, that Gov,
ernor Hayes is fairly elected Presi
dent, but that it is a matter of duty
and propriety to submit to the result
as ii will be honestly declared upo,
tire counting Of the votes.

Late reports say that in several
parishes of Louisiana no republican
votes were cast. The following telc-
gram from Gov. Kellogg, the day be-
fore election. toreshadows this state
of affairs:
New ORLEANS, Nov. q.
To Hon. Il. Chandler:
Dispatches received from Ouachita
and Morehouse parishes, near the Ar
kansas line, and West Feliciana, near
the Mississippi line, report that these
parishes are now patroled by the
White League, reinforced by armed
bodies from Arkansas and Mississip.

have been driven away or murdered

tied to vote at any poll in the parish
in which he may reside. The colored
people generally are attempting to
reach the parish seats in those par.
ishes in order to vote under the pro.
lection Of the authorities. Numbers
Of them have been intercepted by the
White League pickets, and their reg.
istration papers destroyed. In some
instances they have been terribly
beaten. Some six hundred colored
voters who have managed to evsde
these pickets and reach the town D!
Monroe, Ouachita Parish, have beer
ordered by proclamation of tht
democratic mayor to leave the town
Immediately. In West Feliciana sew
eral hundred colorcd men had come
in, in like manner, to Bayou Sara, thu
parish seat. The White League o
that place, aided by armed bodie
from the adjoining counties in Mis-
sissippi, have piokcted the approache
to the town to prevent others fron
coming in. These parishes arc large
ly republican, but in spite Of the in
timidation thus practiced, l believ
that tho overwhelming republica
majoritics in other parishes will Civ
us the state, WILLIAM =. KELLOGG.

On the 10th inst, during the pro-
gress of the closing Centennial cere-


gress of the closing Centennial cere-
monies. and after receiving dispatches
from both sides in Louisiana init
mating that there was trouble brew
ing in that state, Grant retired for a
minute to Gov. IIawlcy's room, and
sent hasty dispatch to General
sherman, which has heretofore APP
peared ia full in these columns. The
concluding passage, however, is
worthy Of repetition. 1t is likely TO
become as famous AZ any of the SEN
tcntious utteranccs ever made by the
President. Here It is again:
Should there lie any grounds of sos-
picion Of a Fraudulent count on either
side, ii should be reported and de-
MOunccd at once. No nan erorthy he
office eff President should he gciiiing 10
hold 1t IL counted IN or pfdccd there by
fraud. Either ran GHord 10 he disdp-
pointed in the result. The country can-
not afford 10 hare The result tdiated ba
suspicious Of Wegol o, .talse returns.
(SignedD Z. 5. GRANT.
That is the sentiment Of every Re
publican or Democrat in the country
worthy of his country.
If Hayes is elected by the vote Of
one elector. and if that one ciecfol
was elected by the single vote of tho
humblcst colorcd man in Florida, he
is entitled to be, and will be Presi-
dent. Upon the contrary. it ifappcars
that Tilden is elected by even as small
a majority, he will be inaugurated,
with the approval of every Repub-
lican i'm the United States worthy to
belong to that party.
What we want to do now, is to
keep cool; to do everything in our
power to frown down incendiary sem
timents; to give aid to the President
in maintaining law and order at all
hazards: to aid, as far as in us lies,
the proper authorities in counting
and honestly returning the vote, and
when that vote is ascertained, the
will acIuiescc in the result
vx,Iaa fovnr II may be.

Mrs. Edna 3. Smith brought an ac-
ton against several saloon-keepers at
Webster City for damages in selling
whisky to her husband, whereby he
deprived his family of the necessaries
of life. Judgment was rendered in
the District Court for $500 against
Hermon Vile and wife, and the
judgment was made a lien on the
premises where the liquor was sold.
Vile lived over the saloon, and
claimed the premises as homestead,
and that, as such, it was exempt from
execution. The court held that, un.
der the statute for violation of the
whisky law, homesteads were not ex-
empt. The case will go up to the
Supreme Court on that point, which
is o very important one.
