He is AN AyOwed MORarchist.

Among the persons selected by
Gen. Grant to go TO Louisiana, to SUI
perlntend the consummation of fraud
contemplated against the people OF
that State aud OF theJnited States, IS
Edwin w. Stoughton, lawyer of
some note in the city Of New York
This man, Stoughton, is now an
avowed monarchist. He was origl-
nally a Wing. Then, in consequence
of the arbitrary conduct of the Repub-
lican party and its administration at
Washington, during the progress of
the war, he became q Democrat, and
voted against the first election of Gen.
Grant At his second election he
deserted the Democratic party and
voted for Grant for the avowed reason
that the Republic was played out, the
people was incapable of maintaining a
free government, that the time for
the empire had come, and that Grant,
having by his disregard of the law and
the Constitution and by his usurpa-
lions shown himself better qualified to
be the Emperor than any other man,
he voted Tor him.
Since then he has justified by speech
and writing all the outrages Of the
Grant Administration, and has been
waiting with constrained patience
an appointment to some embassy
from Grant. He got it circulated in
the papers that he was to be appoint
cd Minister to England in place of
Poker Schenck. In this he was dis
appointed. He has now accepted a
joint embassy with others to the ne
gro strapy of Louisiana. 1t is the
commencement Of a diplomatic career
which may lead to exalted distinction.

Grant to send to Louisiana to aid in

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, J
February 80, 1875. (

In our judgment, this condition
Of things is traught with the gravest
peril to the whole country. That the
people of any State should be unwill
ing or unable to determine, by peace
full and legal means, the result of their
elections, and that the President
should be compelled to interpose the
military force of the Government TO
prevent civil war, is itself u terrible
misfortune.
"But the evil goes much further,
Upon the election in Louisiana, as in
other States, depends the right to

in our Judgment, the greatest danger
that these clements may enter into the
next national election to so great an
extent that it may leave the real ex-
preston OF the will OF the people in
doubt. In such case, an appeal to
force, like that which has been made
in Louisiana, must result in civil war,

Referring to the Returning Board
appointed by Governor Kellogg,
which is the same Returning Board
that is acting now, Mr.. Wheeler says !:
at never could have been meant
that this Board, of its own motion,
sitting in New Orleans, at distance
from the place of voting, and without
notice, could decide the right Of per
sons claiming to be elected.
"The Board took different view
of its powers, and proceeded to throw
out the vote from many polls where
they found intimidation aud violence
to have existed. The result was TO
defeat persons whom on the returns
they should have declared elected, and
to elect persons who should not have
been declared elected"

bearing upon the State, he takes high
