Nov shat the Louisiana Returning
Board has "connted out" the TILDES
electors, and "counted in" the HAYES
electors, hrief and candid summary Of
the situation may be timely.
TSrsf-The TILDss electors had ma
.jaiass ranging from about $500 TO
about 100 on the face OF the returns.

resurns did not correctly represent the
votes cast, % they we're all verified By
certified copies taken at the time and
place Of counting the ballots.
gAird--It is agreed by oil parties that
the votes actually cast we're unquestion
sbly legal. There was no claim OF re-
peating. stufflng bellot-boxes or any OF
the ordinary election frauds. The only
exception TO this was in one precinct IN
New Orleans, where 1t Is claimed that 9

The President thinks that the bring

have proven great benz fit In the in

country angen'ered Hs recommends
that the Great Exhibit he removed to

and that the many nations who have 60
generously contributed their exhibits
should receive the thanks Of the people.
and he requests that Congress pass such
resolutions. az EtaEF -. cr5.
The President saws the attention OF
Congress cannot be too earnestly called
to the necessity of throwing some great,
er safeguard around the method Of choo
sing and declaring the election OF a
President. U der the present system
there seems no provided remedy for
counting the election Of any one State
The remedy is partly, no doubt, in the
enlightment Of themselves; the compul
sorry support OF the free schools, and
the disfranchisement of all who cannot
read or write the English Language -
After full probation such remedies
would meet my hearty approval
would not make this apply, however, to
those who are already voters, but W. uld
to all becoming so after the expiration
OF the time fixed Foreigners coming
to this country TO become citizens, VIII,

able them to study the institutions ant

such laws, or select those who do
The President says he appends, fol
convenient reference, a synopsis Of BIZ
administration, events OF Importance
and all recommendations to Congress!
made by him during last year. Time
may show sume of these recommends
tions not to have been wisely conceived
but he thinks the larger part will do nc
discredit to the administration.
Referring to his recommendation to-
the annexation OF San Domingo, thi
President maintains that il his view!

reviews at some length our trade with
Canada and South America to'strength
