Your attention will be drawn to the unset
tled condition of affairs in some of the South
ern States. On the 14ib of September last,
the Governor of Louisiana called upon me, a*
trovided by the constitution and laws of the
Jnited States, to aid in suppressing domes-
tie violene* in that 8tate. This call was
tads in view of a proclamation issued on
that day by D. B Penn, claiming that he was
elected Lieutenant Governor in 1873, and
calling upon the militia of the State to as
semble and drive from power the usurpers,
as he designated the officers of the State
governments. On the next dey I Issued my
proclamation, commanding the insurgents to
disperse within five days from the date there
of, and aubsequently learned that on that
day they had taken forcible possession of
the 8tate House. Siepe were taken by
to eupport the existing and recognized State
government; but before tbs expiration of the
I ve days, the insurrectionary movement waa
»actic»lly abandoned, and the officer* of the
State government with some minor excep
tions resumed their powers and duties.—
Considering that the present 8tate admin
istration of Louisiana has been the only
government in that State for nearly two
years, that it hss been tacitly acknowledged
and acquiesced in as suoh by Congress, and
more than once ex( ressly recognized by me,
‘ regarded it as my clear duty, when legally
called upon for that purpose, to prevent its
overthrow by an armed mob, un ter pretence
of fraud and irregularity in the election cl
1872 1 have heretofore called the attention
of Congress to this subject, stating that on
account of the frauds and forgeries commit
ted at said election, and because it appears
that the returns thereof were never legally
canvassed, it was impossible to tell thereby
who were chosen ; but from the bust.sources
of information

majority actually -east
repeat what I said in my special
February 23. 1973, that iu the event of no
action by Congress I must continue to recog
nize the government heretofore recognized

three different roads leading to it. They
were driven back with a lots of 26 killed and

killed and 2 wounded. The attack was

A dispatch, dated Augusta, Ga. ( Dec. 7tb,
gives the following account of the citizens
meeting at Edgefield, on Monday last.
Avovwta, December 7— A large
meeting was held at Edgefield, 8. C., to-day.
A resolution poized to lynch the persons,
white or blaek, caught setting fire to gin*
boases or dwellings. 8everal speeches were
made against the resolution. Among those
opposed to the resolution were Qov, Bonham.
Gen. Donovan' and Copt. Lewis Jones, all
prominent citizens. Much excitement pre
vails. A long list of gin- houses, dwellings
and bains burned since the election was
read.
We solemnly endorse the resolution. It
ths rightful, sod the only remedy there or
here, and mors especially there. If the peo
ple ot Edgefield will but be true to themselves,
and follow np the blows, tkiek sad fast, re
cently strnek by tbelr Village paper, the
Advertiser,tend ths aimed by this resolution,
they will soon stop the burning of barns and
gin-booses, and find themselves masters
the situation, and peacefully io possession
of the appliances of lew and order.
None dare doubt the patriotism or manly
courage of Bonham, Donovan or Jones: We
have been with escb of them in times and
places that tried all that is valuable in
mao, and God has never produced better
metal; but Edgefield is lost if she goes bock
upon her resolution, snd these men will die
dishonored.

for the late elections decided indications ap
peared in some localities in the Southern
States ot a determination, by sets of yiolenoe
and intimidation, to deprive citizens of the
freedom of the ballot, beoause of their polit
ical opinions. Bands of men, masked and
armed, made their appearance—white lea
gues and other eooieties were formed—large
quantities of arms and* ammunition were im
ported and distributed to these organizations
—■military drills, with menacing demonstra
tions, were held—and, with all these, mur*
ders enough were commit ted to spread terror
among those whose political action was to be
suppressed, if possible, by these intoleraut
aud criminal proceedings. In some places,
colored laborers were compelled to vote ac
cording to the wishes of their employers,
under threats of discharge if they acted oth
erwise, and there are too many instances in
which, when these threats were disregarded,
they were remorselessly executed by those
who made them. I understand that the Fif*
teenth Amendment to the Constitution was
made to prevent this aad tbc like state of
things, and the act of May 31st, 1870k with
the amendments, were passed to enforce its
provisions, the intention of both being to
guarantee to all citizens tbe right to vote snd
to protect them in the free enjoyment of that
right. Enjoined by the Constiintion “to take
care that the laws be faithfully executed,’’
and convinced by undoubted evidenoe that
violations of said act hod been committed,
and that a wide-spread and flagrant disre
gard of it was contemplated, the proper offi
cers were instrncted to prosecute the offend*
ders, and troops were stationed at convenient
points to aid those officers if necessary in tbe
performance of their official duties. Com
plaints were made of this interference by Fed
eral authority; but if said amendment and
act do not provide for such interference un
der the circumstances as above, that they
are without meaning, force or effect, and the
whole scheme of colored enforcement is
worse than mockery and little better then a
crime. Possibly, Congress may find it due to
truth and justice to ascertain by means of a
committee whether tbe alleged wrongs to col
ored citizeds for political purposes are real
or reports thereof were manufactured for tbe
occasion. The whole number of troops in the
States of Louisians, Alabama, Georgia, Flora
ids. South Carolina, North Carolina, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Maryland and Virginia at tbe lime ot the
election were 4 082. This embraces tbe gar
risons of all the forts from the Delaware to
the Gulf of Mexico.
THE ABKAKSAS TROUBLES.
Anotbor trouble has arisen in Arkansas.—
Article 13 of the Constitution of that Stale,
which was adopted in 18G8, and upon the ap
proval of which by Congress, the State was
restored to representation as one of the
States of tbc Union, provides in effect lhat
before amendments proposed to this Consti
tution shall become a part thereof, they shall
be passed by two successive assemblies and
then submitted to and ratified by a majority
of the electors of the State voting thereon.—
On the 11th of May, 1874, the Governor con
vened an extrasession of tbe General Assent*
bly of the State, which, on the 18th of tbe
same month, passed an act providing for a
convention to frame a new Convtitution.—
Pursuant to this act, and at an eleUion held
on the 30th of June, 1874, the convention was
approved and delegates chosen thereto, who
assembled on the 14ib ot last July, and
formed anew Constitution, the schedule if
which provided for the election of Bn entire
new set of State officers in a manner contra
ry to the then existing election laws of the
State. On the 13ih of Octeber, 1874, this
Constitution, as therein provided, was sub
mitted to tbe people for their apptoval or
their rejection, and, according to the election
returns, was approved by a large majority of
those quilfied to vote thereon, and at tbo
same election persons were chosen to fill the
State, county and township offices. The Gov
ernor elected in 1872 for the term of four
years turned over his office to tbe Governor
chosen under tbe new Constiintion, where
upon the Lieutenant Governor, also elected
in 1872 fora term of four years, claiming to
act as Governor, and alleging that said pro
ceedings by whiob tbe new Constitution was
made and a new set of officers were elected,
were unconstitutional, illegal and void, and
called upon me, ae provided in seotion 41,
article 4, of the Constitution, to protect the
State against domestic violence. As Con
gress is now investigating the politioai affairs
of Arkansas, I have doclined to interfere —
The whole subject of Executive interference
with the affairs of a State, is repugnant to
publio opinion, to the feelings of those who,
from their official capacity, must be used in
snob interposition, aud to him or those who
most direct, unlets, most clearly on tbe side
of law, such interference becomes a crime.—
With the law to support it, it is condemned
without a hearing. I desire, therefore, that
all necessity for Executive direction in local
affairs may become unnecessary and obso
lete.
airOBCBMXBT, SYMPATHY AMD DOSH.
I invite tbe attention, not of Congress, but
of the people of the United States to the
causes and effects of these unhappy ques
tions. Is there not a disposi'ion on one side
to magnify wrongs and outrages aod ou the
other side to belittle them or justify them ?
If public opinion could be directed to a cor
rect survey of what is, and to rebuking
wrong and in aiding the proper authorities
in punishing it, a better state of feeling
would be inculcated and the sooner we would
have that peace which would leave the States
free indeed to regulate their own domestic
affairs.
I believe that on the part of our citizens of
the Southern States—the belter part or them
—there is a disposition to be law-abiding
and to do no violence either to individuals,
or to the laws existing. But do they do right
in ignoring the existence of violence and
bloodshed in resistance to constituted author
ity ? I sympathize with their prostrate con
dition, and would do all in my power to re
lieve them—acknowledging that in some in
stances they have bad the most trying gov*
ernments to live under, and very oppressive
ones in the way of taxation for nominal im..
E rovemcnts, not giving benefits equal to tha
ardships imposed. But can they proclaim
thems'lvos entirely irresponsible for this oondi
lion? They eannot. Violence has been rampant
in some localities,and has either been justified
or denied by those wbo could have prevented
it. Tbe theory is even raised that there is to
be no further interference on tbe part of the
General Government to protectoitixens with
in a State where tbe authorities fail to give
protection. This is a great mistake. While I
