rhe Troops In The South.


We understand that some prominent
Democrats complain of the order issued
Yesterday by General Grant supplying
troops TO the Federal commanders In
Louisiana and FLORIDA. They are report
ed to saw that in this the President is vi
olating the Constitution.
The President OF the United States has
the Constitutional right to send troops
into any State, county or township in the
L nited States at any time, to quarter them
there as long "a he plea>es and to move
them about as he thinks tn public service
shall demand. In sending troop, 10 sen
eral Augur 10 LoG,sina at this moment
the President acts most wisely. There j.
in that State. naturally. an extreme con-
dtion of excitement; II Is of the greatest
importance that order shall be maintained
until the dispute about the election i Let
tied. The mere presence OF the troop lead
wi II restrain the passions OF both sides.
The soldiers can do nothing 10 influence
the result one way or another. The cleo
ton has been held. The votes are cast.
| The returns are by his time Ia New Or
leans, where they will be canva,Sed in the
presence oflesding men OF both parties
from the North and all complaints will
have a hearing. II is mere folly. under
these circumstances. TO suspect or inpugn
the motives of the President in sending
troops to the State.
We advise our Democratic friends to
keep cool. They made mistake. in 1861
which has cost them and the country very
dear II they should make another mis-
take OF that Kind 1t would cost them very
much dearer. The county means that
there shall be fair play. but it does hot
mean TO stand any nonsense.

The Presidents Wise Action


Its too much to expect that these partisan
organs will consider. We do not say with faIr-
ness but with calmness and common sense. the
admirable orders issued yesterdAy hy President
Grant. We have no doubt that the vast ma
iority Of the citizen. Of the United states will
agree a. 10 the pTai-eworthy temper Of these
order, and the wise prompine-s and empha,i.
with which they are issued. We pas for the
present the discussion OF the technical question
whether these orders. and the proceeding, un-
der them. conform TO tht letter OF the law aud
the country, too, viii pass the question. A. to
the purpose for which the federal troops are
put in motion in Florida and Louisiana, We do
not see how there can hc -ay difference of opin-
ion except on the part Of persons who are
knayi-hly partizan. The Ofiioers are instructed
ito be vIg liant with the force al their command
10 preserve peace aud good order, aud TO see
that the proper and legal board. Of oAnvasser-
are unm ,lestej in the performance Of their du-
ties" Is not thi, precisely what respectable
citizens OF all parties desire; Does the hottest
supporter OF Tilden or Hayes, if hc is honest.

President Grants words end with these wise
and timely word,:
should there be any grounds Of suspicion OF
fraudulent count on either side, II should be re-
ported and denounced at once. No man worthy
Of the oftice OF President. should be willing 10
hold il il counted in or placed there by fraud.
Either .party can afford 10 be disappointed in
the result. The country cannot afford 10 have
the result tainted bg the suspicion Of Illegal or
false returns"

I grateful to the President for saying 80 well
what they are thinking. Among the most CRATE

Mr.. Editor:
The excitement is not over. Both polit-
ical parties are jubilant. The nights arc
made hideous with shouts Of victory on
both sides; with bonfires, and other public
demonstrations OF joy.
Two days have passed away since the
election, and it is not yet certain who is 10
be the next President.
For several weeks the excitement in this
state has exceeded anything of the kind
before known to Rhode Islanders.
All classes of people have entered into it.,
and all other interests have been absorbed
by 1t.
We shall feel relieved, when thequestion
is actually settled, and the great excite
ment subsidies. Schools. churches, and all
associations for reform. have to some ex-
tent suffered, on account of the deep polit-
ical feeling that has swept over the State
like tidal wave"
1t is not to be presumed that forty mill
ions OF people can feel Indifferent about the
result Of the election.
Our dearest interests, both individual
aud national, are connected with the pres
ent Presidential election.
The fact should ever be borne in mind,
that there Is One mightier than man. who
can '.rule and overrule," and that If we
confide all Jour interests to Him. He will
cause All "things to work together for
good.'
He can cause "the wrath OF man to
praise Him, and the remainder Of wrath
He can restrain"

industrious. economical. and honest, we
shall have national and Individual pros
perity under any administration that legis.
lates for the good Of the whole people.

Thomas W. Conway, late State superintendent
Of education in Louisiana, yesterday.
Neu Orleans, 13.-To Gen. Thomas W. Con-
wsv, Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. Official
returns from Point Coupee and East Baton

THE ELECTION


THE ELECTION
is over; the nightly parades have ceased torch
- at - cents each no longer in demand:
the beating Of the III ums no longer keep every
body awake until the small hours of the morn
ing; the days and nights of decorations and H.
luminations are among The things that were and
still we not happy, because the great poiti-
cal question of the day has not been settled and
: we do not know yet what party i. TO rule in
our national offices for the next four years, al
tho rgh it must be admitted that the Democrats
have the lead and Samua; j Tilden will proba-
bly, be elected. The hopes and fears of both
parties have been intense and great excitement
still prevails, each party believing that only by
the election Of its own candidate, can the coun-
try be prospered. Never was the news more
unsatisfactory for the dispatches have been on
ly guesses after all, but many have been COM
forted with the hope they would still win, while
to others the suspense has been so painful that
they would willingly suffer defeat if they could
but know the result Nearly week of most
dismal weather has not helped 10 make the
gloom of the political world any brighter, for
the streets have been filled, especially before
the Bulletin boards with only anxious, Geject-
ed snd inquiriug faces, while rubbers, water
proofs and umbrellas have been in as good de-
mand as the newspapers.

tered the anteroom and announced herself In
