General Grant Threatens to Put En by
Arms amy Candidate Counted I'm by
the President of the Senate. '-f

the President of the Senate. Mfg
NEW YORK, December 1S.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Tribune says the Presi-
dent, in conversation with friend this al
ternoon. said thus far he had received no
official information OF any unlawful move
ment in Indiana or elsewhere. He has seen
occasional reference in newspapers to politi-
cal agitations in certain sections Of the
country, and has received information to
that effect from other unofficial sources. The
Administration, he said, is not insensible
to the necessity of vigilance. Whether
these reports are true or false with reference
to the Indiana excitement, the President
thinks that should 1t spread the loyal senti-
ment of majority OF the people OF that
State and of the whole country will have
influence enough to prevent any outbreak.
The President said, further, that it is
gratifying to observe the conservative spi-
rit shown by many OF the southern leaders.
| He feels assured that the same disposition
will ultimately prevail all over the land,
and he believes that the men who are now
disposed to incite civil war are only those
who have everything to gain and nothing
| to lose in the event of such national ca
lamitv. II the emergency does arise the
President said he should not hesitate
to execute his constitutional authority.
Whoever is formally declared by the pres-
dent of the Senate to have been elected Will
be recognized by General Grant. To that
person will he surrender the reins OF au-
thority. 1t is not his desire to force upon
the people any particular person, but be
will see that the person declared to be
elected as his successor is placed in posses
sion of the Government. He is not Judge
of the election. When that question is de-
termined his duty will be plain.
General Grant said that before and since
the election he has used his executive
power only for the enforcement OF the laws
and the preservation Of peace, and such an
exercise Of powers as are conferred upon
him he will continae until the last moment
Of his responsibility. He does not think
that a Government which has withstood the
shock Of nearly four years OF battle will
now fall before the clamor OF a mob
The power OF the President to call
out the militia Of States in the
event OF any attempt to resist the in.
aucuration of President legally declared
to be elected is one which General Grant
will not hesitate to use should any occasion
arise. He said that it was his recollection
that during the riots in New York in 1863 {
. portion OF the National Guard OF the En-
pire State was called out by direct author
ity OF the President, and cooperated, will
the regular United States troops in sup
pressing the disturbance. 'rtt+.ft'.f">

THE NATIONAL ODE.

Sun of the stately day,
Let Asia into the shadow drift
Let Europe boast in thy ripened ray,
And over the severing ocean lift
brow OF broader splendorl
Give light to the eager eyes
OF the land thai waits to behold thee rise:
The gladness Of morning lend her.
With the triumph of noon attend her,
And the peace of the vesper skiesl
For, lol she cometh now
With hope on the lip and pride on the brow
Stronger and dearer aud farer,
To smile on the love we bear her
To live, we dreamed her and sought her.
Liberty's latest daughterl
In the clefts Of the rocks. in the secret places,
We found her traces;
On the hills, in the crash of woods that fall,
We heard her call;
When the lines Of battle broke,
