HACI-
The messase of President Ilaje?, return
ing to the House of Eepreeentitires the
Army Bill, ni sent to the House yester
day, and i published in full in our col
umn this morning. The objection, of
course, are confined to the political "rider,"
which repeals the statute providing for the
use of troops at the polls. The President
reviews at considerable length the act
nought to be regaled, anl points out
the circuintaDC under which it
wai passed. He chowj that such
wk of trooops as is contemplated in
the act cannot result in interference wiih
fair elections, and has frequently been found
necessary to insure to the citizen the full
exercire of his right of suffrage.
The President's objections are stated
clearly and forcibly. The document is a
strong state paper, and its expressions are
in full sympathy with the sentiments of the
Republican pirty. It will receive
the enthusiastic and unanimous endorse
ment of the Republicans of the West, and
of all other sections of the country. It is
- just tuch an expression of determined
opposition to the revolutionary schemes of
the Democracy as the country has been
hoping for. It is able, determined and
patriotic, and will be read with pleasure
by every earnest Republican in the
United States.
WlIATAXXTr
What course will the Democrats in Con
gress now pursue' Will they adopt the
policy outlined by some of their leaders,
and adjourn without making provision for
carrying on the Government, or will they
have sense enough to pass the appropria
tion bills, without the political riders, thus
leaving upon the President the responsi
bility of retaining upon the etatute books
the laws which they regard as obnoxious,
or will thoy exhibit the same genius for
blundering which has characterized the can
duct of the Democratic party for the last
fifteen years? If they would vote the mcea
aary appropriations for carrying on
the government, if only for six months
till the next regular fession has
time to consider the question,
they would then have some
thing upon which to go before their con
alitutents. They would then be able to
say to the people: "We have done our
duty so far as voting sujipl'ei is concerned,
though we have failed in our political pro
ject; we have done everything that could
be done, without imperilling the govern
ment, to secure the repeal of the abnoxiotis
election laws, and jury laws, but havinc
been defeated in our purpose, we no ap
peal to the people." That a the course
that would be pursued by any body of
men governed by common pene, but to
presume that the Democratic majority in
congress is governed by surh principles, is
to presume a condition of affairs totally at
variance with the experience of the last
fifteen years. Hence, the probabilities are
that congress will go on piss
ing the bills in their present
shape and having them vetocd.till the mem
bers exhaust tbeir term of office, and are
in turn veloc-d by the people. To pass the
appropriation bills without the riders, and
then go before the people and make a fijbt
upon the political principles involved,
ould evince a considerable degree of poli
tical sagacity. And that's the reason why
we cannot believe that the Democratic ma
jority will pursue euch a courfe.

The poor whites of the South are said to
have caught the emigration fever, and the
prospect is now that the black man is not
to be allowed to have the exodus all to him
self. Reliable accounts from the South say
that thousands of poor white eopI are
looking toward the north and west, and are
making preparations to emigrate. A writer
referring to the anticipated white exodus
says :
The desire to leive the south has spread
to poor whites as well, and it is estimated
that five or six thousand people, many of
tbem ex-Confederate soldier', have already
reached Illinois and'Indiani, this spring.
They say that "the South is no g"oJ, no
how," for a poor man who has his living to
earn and his children to educate. Many of
these old soldiers were confined in Northern
prisons, and had an opportunity in coming
and going to compare the thrift and pros
perity of the Korth with the lazy and slip
shod way of doing business in
he South, and now they propose
to abandon their old homes and worn-out
lands for a better country. Socially, too,
the ''sorry" white man of the South is
under ban almost as much as the negro,
and he is shunned and despised by the old
breed of aristocrats, who have always re
garded all kinds of manual labor as do
grading to the person who performs it
These immigrants are an inferior clats of
ale as compared with tho-e born and
in the free States and educated in the
common schools, but they and their chil
dren are capable of rapid development when
surrounded by better opportunities. As
they express it, thty proixw to "git up and
git" and b-tter their condition ly settling
among yn nns."
WHAT 1VI LI. Till: V IMIT
In an article iijion the course that the
Democrats in Congress will probably per
ue. in view of the President's veto, the
Chicago Tribune of the 2Slh says:
If they abandon the projtct for starving
out the Government, it will be because they
cannot hold their majority together to this
end, and they will probably resort to the
expedient c i extending the appropriations
' lor six months iu order to hold the threat
of starving-out in abeyance when they meet
in regular session. The country will re-
1'jsice even at this partial relief, or indeed
51 at any othtr outcome which shall lead to
j?v ii adioumment of Conzresj without leav
ing the Government in an embarrassed con
dition. What the people want is an assur
ance that there shall be no tinkering of the
currency laws for some time to come, and
uch an assurance can only be conveyed by
an adjournment of Congress till pext De
cember. If thtre is a spark of wisdom left
among the Democrats they will lose no
time in giving this af eurance by speedy ad
journment so soon as they shall be satisfied
that they cannot carry out their political
project, f jr they have already tried the pa
tience of the country to the limit of lor

The 1'alrlioluic Herd of Hhort Horns.
Prof. E. M. Shelton, of the Agricultural
College writes as follows of this famous
herd in the Indtttrialift of the 26th.
There is no one fact connected with the
rapid growth of Kansas so remarkable as
the very general diffusion among its farm
ers of pure-bred animals of all the different
domesticated sorts. Heretofore the pioneer
and pettier has contented himself with
"crub" stock, and animals generally of
low degree. We have looked back to the
older States, New York, New England and
Kentucky lor blooded stock ; and lew ot us
have known that within our own doors,
and scattered all over the State with a lib
erality unknown in New England, were fine
herds of the choicest breeding. The une
cjualed attractions presented by Kansas to
the breeder of pure bred stock are well un
derstood by breeders in the older
States, many of whom are turning covetous
eyes upon this stock -raiser's paradise. We
venture nothing in saying that within the
next two years Kansas will be pre-eminent
in something besides wheat-growing. She
will be among the first of the States in the
production of high-bred stock.
These thoughts were mggested by a recent
examination of the herd of Shorthorns
named at the herd of this article. Ol this
grand herd, ninety-three of the choicest
animals will be sold at public auction, at
the farm of J. C Stone, Jr, near Leaven
worth, May 27th, and, as t,e looked over
this exceedingly promising lot, we were
forcibly impreored with the importance to
our stockmen of securing and retaining in
Kans as this invaluable bovine colony.
We offer the brief discription of this herd
riven below solely in the hope of being in-
rtrumental, to pome extent, in securing the
retention of this herd within the bound a
ries of our own State.
At the first glance at this herd, the vis
ion will be lorcibly struck with its great
uniformity. Almost the entire herd is
made up of two and three-year-olds. There
are no old worn out cow, which havequite
outlived their Ufelulnes. and are now sold
because of their doubtful fertility. Again,
while none are inbred in the offensive sense
yet all have !een bred so steadily and per
sistently in the direction of the bet Bates
blood that a family resemblance runs
through the herd We do not rrnienbcr to
have ever recn a herd not strictly line
bred," on which nicely-dijhed face, clem
muzzles,and unleathery throats so generally
prevailed. W ith one or two exceptions,
the entire herd of ninety-three animals is
made up ot reds. it:d is not our favorite
color, but it is the popular one; and that
it will remain so for a long time there is
bat little doubt. Certainly this will prove
an attractive Ic attire ot the herd upon
the day ot sale, rinally the herd is
thoroughly acclimated. This is a point
upon which we lay creat stress. We have.
in a large number of cases, peen valuable
animals which were teriectly sound in the
Eastern States, when brought to Kansas
become sterile, often remaining so for
month', and in some cae permanently.
In regard to the pedigrees of this herd, it
is not necessary to siy much. AH are of
the good unquestioned sorts; albeit there is a
wide range tor tancy, as between the lash
iomble-brcd Crsggs' and the plainer Seven
teens. But whatever is said iu this matter
by the catalogues or auctioneer the owner
will jm iran tee upon the dayo! sale, and a!
?r:ards. From our acquaintance with the
owner of the Fairholme herd, acd from the
reputation of RI. Muir, the auctioneer, we
have no hesitation in paying that the inter
eyts of buyer and sellei will le equally
cuardcJ upon the day ol sale, lour" and
inexperienced bleeders may here bid with
safety, acd Uel a. cured that .he fantaticFO
olten retried to at public sales w ill not be
tolerated here
In concluding this britf account of a val
uable herd, we can do no belt r than to
call attention to the very important fact
that this herd ha never been pampered,
blanke'ed and "trained" for the sale of next
month. Its tr?atmpnt has been such as is
well calculated to develop tho-e eterlirg
qualities hardhood and gocd constitu
tion, which this herd possesses in an emi
nent degree.

About Taxing reddlers.
E.'Itok Times: I would like for you to
call the attention of our Honorable Mayor
and City Council to a matter which, while
it is not a very important one to some, is
very important one to others, which is in
subtnce this : Allowing peddlers to follow
their business in the city without license
Men who pay taxes on their property and
help to support a city's government and
redeem her bonds, are compelled to compete
with a class of shysters who get their goods
we know net where, and travel from hou-e
to house guaranteeicg satisfaction cr money
refunded, paying no city taxes, no license to
anyone, and purchasers having no responsi
ble guarantee that the goods are what they
are represented to be. While believing in
free and unprejudiced competition for the
benefit of trade generally, and inviting all
honorable competition, our merchants do
not feel as if our city government was
giving us justice in allowing men to sell
tea, coffee, yeast powders, thread, buttons
and such other things as they may see fit to
carry around with them from house to
house, without first paying into tbe city
treasury a sum of money such as our city
couacil shall designate as a license so to do.
To chow our citizens how this stands, just
suppose that a merchant here gains in one
year $5,000, and banks or adda to hia
stock, aa the case may be. Next year he
payts a tax of five per cent, which i $250,
wkik if fifty peddleri should net the same

(Cor. Chicago Tribune, 25.)
It is of the utmost importance that the
seed we plant be of such a character that it
will crow. In most seasons there U no dif
Gcullv with the small grains ; but corn, the
most important crop of all, frequently re
fuses to germinate. It is, tberelore, tettT
to pay a good price for reliable feed that is
certain to grow, than to take any chances
of Iosinir the hrst plantittr. We can stten
tion to this fact now, b-causs in a few more
weeks it will be too late to remedy past
mistakes.

Xo woman can make a good article of
butter from cows that feed on marshy, wet
land. Xo man can make a fine quality of
beef by grazing cattle on wet, marshy, un

that produces good, sweet grass. Let those
that go into a pasture containing wet land
and dry land observe where the cattle
graze. They will not eat the grass growing
on the wel, marshy land, until starved to it,
and then they aie losing flesh.

purpose for twenty-five years, and that not
a single tree has been injured by the jest
He plants several sprigs near the roots of

care that no borers are in the trees at the
time they are planted. He is of the opin

Uoud watermelons and cantelopes are bjth

plant plenty. Get t;ocd seeds, and when up

Stock Itaiolnsin Kansas.
lAmtrlcau btockman.
Corn in Kansas is cheap and most abund
ant, a fact which has been greatly in favor
of the feeder of stock in that State, enabling
him to successfully compete with rival feed
ers in states nearer to tbe great centers
where cattle are consumed. It is this which
fcas made profitable the feeding of Texas
cattle, acd which will tend to perpetuate
the custom of driving young cattle from
Texas and even encourage the growth of
that business. With range and water un
surpassed; with corn cheap acd plenty and
with young stock available at reasonable
prices, there certainly seems to be good
reason for believing that in the feedinz of
cattle the Kansas farmer will find a very
satisfactory business.
Lawns,
American Agriculturist for May.
Large weeds in lawns, can only be eradi
cated by w.eding; if the plantains, dande
lions, docks, etc-, appear pull them in a
moist time, or cut well below the surface
with a knife. Annual wetds soon give way
to frequent mowing, and die without seed
ing. Bedding plants, from the greenhouse
should not be put out until the settled
weather, as cold storms give a check from
which tbey are slow to recover.
Irritation from Tccthlnjr.
American Agrlcultnrist.l
Young horses, when changing their teeth
are frequently troubled with inflammation
of the eyes. This cannot be prevented, but
may be relieved by giving a doe of eight
ounces of epsom salts to cool the system.
It may be necessary to repeat this, and half
an ounce ol saltpetre given daily lor three
or four days Imay be helpful. It will
do no good to knock out tbe animal's old
teeth, as often advised, while tt may possi
bly do harm.

Iters and Fruit.
American Agriculturalist.
Every season we have letters asking how
bcei can be prevented from injuring graj.cH,
peaches and other fruit. There is no
evidence that honey-bees do injure these
fruits. The mouth parts, of the bee are not
strorg enough to j-enetrate heir tough
skins. The most careful ob-ervations of
such men as Lancttrotli, Quioby, Root and
others, have not found the honev-bee to le
the aggrcsor. Put when the skin of the
fruit is once pierced by wasps, hornets, or
birds, then the horey-bee comes for a
share of the juices thus exposes'; and while
it is often the receiver, it is never the real
thief or rather burglar. This is a matter
of great importance to fruit growere; but
bi'ore thty complain of tha hie keeper", let
them examine the matter and see how far
their lo-ss are due to the honey-bte. and
how far to their wild relatives, the various
wasps and hornets.

Atchhon Champion, 27.
The Leaven north Time sa8 that the
work done at that joint by tLe Government
engineers, for the protection of the river
brink, is of no practical use, and will not
prevent the continued washing and falling
in of the Missouri's shores. The work
done at Atchison is precisely of the same
character as that done at Leavenworth, and
if the Times' statements are true, they are
rf interest here as well as at Leavenworth.
The editor of that pipci hat examined the
work eloae there. He says:
"What there is left of the already rotten
ms.tlra.ves is only held in position by the
wre used in their cocstrunion. The
amount of stcne used in weighting them
down must have been very small, or else it
has dUappeardd in the deep and rapid cur
rent aloDg the bank. The bnuh used in
the construction of the mattrses, seems
to have been firet snd secocd growth cot
tonword, and as the brush is alternately
covered with water and expse:-d to the dry,
hot sun, the work rots out rapidly.
We hope that scientific, experienced Mis
souri river men will be employed to exam
ine the work, and make a report before
more money is expended usder the present
management."
We have cot examined tbe work done on
the Missouri side opposite this -city, but
learn from those who have inspected it that
the mattras.es are all in place, and that
they have, thus iar, prevented further wash
ing or cutting of the river banks. It would
be well to make a clos examination, and
ascertain whether the brufh mattrasses are
rotting. If they are, they will soon fail to
serve any cselui purpose.
We do not pretend to know what ought
to be done to effectually protect the Mis
souri's banks. But it has seemed to us, all
along, that so fir as the wcrk at this point
is concerned, it should have included a
series of wing-walls cxtesded into the
stream four or five miles above Atchison,
and so arranged as to throw the current
away from the Missouri side and force it to
strike the rocky shore on the Kansas side,
jost above this city. We have been assured
by competent men, that this could be done,
but the expense would probably exceed the
amount appropriated for work at this
point.
The government engineers, however,
ought to know what they are about, acd
we do not presume to say that they are
wrong ia what they hare done. Captain

WAMHJ.oros, April 29 Tiie following
is the message of the President, returning
to the lliiu-e of Representatives the bill en
liileil : ''An Act inakirg appropriations
for i he suppr rt of the army for tbe fiscal
year ending Jute 20, 1S80, at el for other
purposes :"
To tLe Ihute cf lUprefeilitito :
I have maturely considered the impor
tant questions presented by the bill enti
tled ' An Act making appropriations for
tbe support of ibe army for the fiscal year
ending Jure SO, 1SS0, and for other pur
poses, and I now return it to the House
of Representatives, in which it originated,
with mv obleclinn to its sntirnviil.
The Lill provides, in tbe usual form, for
the appropriation required tor the support
of tbe army during the fiscal year.
IF IT CONTAINED NO OTHER rKOVIIOSs,
it uonld receive my prompt approval. It
includes, however, further legislation,
which attached as it is to appropriations
which are requisite for the efficient per
formance of some of the most necessary
duties ,f the government, involves ques
tions of the gravest char ct r.
The sixth section of tbu bill is amenda
tory of the statute now in force in regard
to the authority of jierisocs in the civil,
military and naval Fervice of the United
States at a place where any general or
special election is held iu any State, to us
Mich force as may be necseary to repel the
armed enemits ot the United states, or to
keep he peace at tbe polls.
this statute was adopted rebrnary -o,
lSCo. after a protracted debate in the Sen
ate and almost without opposition in the
House ct Representatives, by the
CO'tXKRIa VOTE
of both of the leading political parties of
the country, and became a law by tbe ap
proval ot 1'resu'ent Lincoln, it was re-
enacted in 1S71, in the revised statuets of
the I uitel Huetes (sections 2,002 and 5,523),
which are as lo'lows:
".Section- 2002 So military or naval
officer, or otter peifoii enzagnl in the civil,
militarv or naval s-rvice of the I'niud
.Statfs shall order, brirg, keep or have tic
der bis authority or control any troops cr
arnicil men at a place where any geneial or
special election is held, in any Slate, uales
it be cecesary to rertl arnitd enemies of
tbe United Mate, or to keep the peace at
lhs IK) I Is.
'fcEerrtON "OS. Kvery efficer of tbe
army or navy, or o'her iierson in the civil,
military or naval service, who orders,
brings, keeps or has undfr his authority or
control anv trooiw or armed men at any
place where a general or special election is
hsld, in any state, unless uch Jorce shall
lw neccsiry to repel a-xicd enemies of tbe
United States or to keep peace at
the pills, shall be Hoed not more
than So.OOO and suffer imprisonment at
hard labor cot les than three months nor
mere than fire years."
The amendment propo"ed to this statute
in the bill before me, omits from both of
the foregoing sections the words "or to keep
the peace at the polls."
THE EFFECT
ot the adoption et Ibis amendment may
be considered : Fir-t, UKn the right of
the United States government to use the
military force to keep esce at elections
ior members of Corgres, and secocd. upon
the right of the government, by civil au
thority to protect these elections from vio
lence an 1 fraud, acd the addition to the
sections of the statute above quoted.
The following provisions ol the law re
latirg to the use of military power at elec
tions are now in iorce :
".Section 2003 Xo officer of the army or
navy of the Uoited States shall prescribe
cr fix, or attempt to prescribe or fix, by
proclamation or order, or olherwL-e, the
qualifications ot vcttrs in any
State, or in aay manner interfere
with the freedom of any election
in any State, or with the exercise of the
free rights of sutTrace in anv State.
"Section 5029. Kverv officer or other
person in the military or naval service,
who by force, threat, intimidation, or oth
erwise, prevents or attempts to prevent any
qualified voter of any State from freely ex
ercising the right of mBrage at any general
cr special election in such a State, ehall be
fined not more than $5,000 and imprison
mentathard labcr cot more than five
years
'Section 5530. Every rfilcer of the
army or navy, who prescribes or fives, or
attempts to preterite or fix, whether by
proclamation, eirder, or other use, the qual
ification of votes at any election, in any
State, shall b puni-hed as provided in the
preceding section.
'Section 5531. Kvery efficer. or other
person in the military or naval scrvics,
who by fore, threats, intimidation or
otherwise, compels or attempts to compel
any omcer holding any election in any
state to receive a vote from a pefeon not
legally qualified to vote, or who impo-es or
attempts to impose any regulations for con
ducting any general or rpecial election in a
State, difierent from those prescribed by
law, or who interferes in any manner with
any officer cf election in the discharge of
his duties, shall be punished as proscribed
in section 5,229.
"Section 5532. Every person convicted
of any of the lT;n-es specified in the five
preccedicg sections, shall, in addition to
the punishments therein eeverallv pre
scribed, be di-qualified from ho'dirg any
office of honor cr trust under the United
States; but nothing in these eections rball
be construed to prevent any officer, soldier,
sailor or marine from exercising tbe right
of suffrage in any eleitton district to which
he may lielocg, if otherwise qualified, ac
cording to tbe laws of the State in which
he offers to vote."
The foregoing enactments would teem to
be suffie'eat to pre rnt military interfer
ence with eltctions; but the last Congress,
to remove all apprehenjon of such inter
ference, added to thh law, by addirg to
section 15, by an act entitled "an act mak
ing appropriations fcr the support of the
army ljr the fiscal year ending June 30,
1S79, and for other purposis," (approtcJ
JuDe IS. 1S7S.) which is as follows:
'Siction 15. From and after the
ras-age of this ac, it shall not be lawful
to employ any part of the army of the
United States asa- eoinmilitui. or other
wise, for the purpose of executing the laws,
except in each ctses and cedsr such cir
cumstances aa such employment
of said force may be expressly
authorized by thecou'titution, or by an act
of Congress. Xo mousy impropriated
by this act shall be used to pay any cf the
expenses incurred in tbe employment of
any troops in violation of this section ; and
person willfully violating the provisions of
this section shall b deemed guilty cf a
misdemeanor, acd upon eonviction thereof
shall be puni-hed by a fite not exceeding
510,000, orby imprisonment not excedicg
two years, cr both such fine and imprison
ment.'' This act parsed the Senate after a full
coceideration,withouta cisgle.vote it corded
against it on its final rassae?. and bv a
majority of more than two third, it was
concurred in by the House of Representa
tives. THE PURPOSE OF THE 8E.T10S QUOTED
was stated in the Senate by see of suppor
ters, as follows:

g-t up a feelicg which will be disastrous
to peace among tbe people of the country."
In the House of R'prtsentatives, the ob
ject of the act of 1STS was stated by the
gentleman who had it in charge in similar
terms. He said :
"But these are all minor points and in
significant, compared with the great prin
ciple which was incorporated by the
House in the bill in reference to the useof
armed men. The Senate had already in
cluded what tbey called and what we might
sccept as a principle; but they had stricken
out the penalty and had stricken outthe
word "expressly," so that tbe army might
be used in all cares where the implied
authority might be inferred; and with the
House committee,
planted themselves firmly
upon the doctrine that rather than jield to
tbe fundamental principle for which, for
three years, the House had struggled, they
would allow the bill to fail, notwithstand
ing the reforms that we had secured, re
garding these reforms as of but little con
sequence along side the great principle that
tbe army of the United States iu time of
peace, should be under the control of Con
gress and obedient to its laws. After a long
and protracted negotiation, the Senate
committee have conceeded that a
principle, in all i s length and breadth,
including the pcnhlty which the Senate had
stricken out We bring you back, therefore.a
report, with the alteration of a single word,
which lawyers assure us is proper to be
made, restoring to the bill the principle for
which we have contended so Itn and which
is so vital to tbe civil rights and liberties
the people. Thus have we this day secured
to the irople of the country some great pro
tection sgamat the standiDg army, which
cost a struggle of twenty years for the Com
mons of England for the British people."
FROM THIS BRIEF REVIEW
of the subject, it sufficiently appears to me
that, under the existing laws, there can be
no military interference with elections.
So case of such interference ha, in fact,
occurred eiuce the passage of the act last
referred to. Xo omcer of the United States
has appeared under orders at any place of
election in any State ; no complaint, even,
of the presence of United States troops has
been made in any quarter. It may, then, be
confidently stated that there is no necessity
for the enactment of section C, of the bill
before me, to prevent military interference
at elections. The laws already in force
are all that is r-quired for that; and that
part of eection G, of the bill which is sig
niticent and vitally imortant, is a clause
which, if adopted, will deprive the civil
authorities of the United states of all its
power to
KEEP PEACE AT CONGRESSIONAL ELEC
TIONS. Congressional elections, in every district,
in evtry important sense, are justly a mat
ter of olitical interest and concern
throughout the whole country. In each
State, every political party is entitled to its
share of the power which is conferred by
legal and constitutional suffrage. It is tbe
tight of every citizen, possessing the quali
fications provided by law,to cas an uniutimi
dated ballot and to have his ballot justly
counted. So long as the exercise ot the
power and enjoyment of this right are com
mon aud equal, practically as well aa for
mally, submission to suffrage till be ac
corded loyally and cheerfully, and depart
ments of the Ujverument will teel the true
vigor of tbe popular will thus expre-s-ed.
J'wo provisions of tl.e constitution au
thorize legislation by Congress U-t tLe re
gulation of Cong'cssiou.il election. Sec
tion 1, of article one of the constitution
declares that the times, places And manner
f J-.oivtiug elections ol senators and iCe
represenlaiivea shall be prescribed in each
State by the regular etatu'es thereof; but
Congress may, at any time, by law,
MAKE OB ALTER StCH REGULATION,
except as to the place of cho'in Senators.
'Ihe Fifteenth Amendment of the constitu
tion is as follows:
'J-tcnoN 1. The riaht of cit!z;n of the
United States to vote shall cot be denied or
abridged by tbe Uoittd Stiles or by any
Slate, on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
''section 2. Congress shall have the pow
er to enforce this article by .appropriate leg
islation.
The Supreme Court has held that the
amendment invests citizens of tbe I nited
States Kith a new constitutional right,
which is within the protectirg power of
CongrefS. That right declares to be exenip
from di-crituinatiou, in tbe exercire of elec
tion franchise, on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. The pow
er of congress to protect the right by appro
priate legi-latton is txrressly affirmed by
the court.
.Kation&l legislation, to provide safe
guards for free and honest el.ctions, is nec
essary, as experience has shown, not only
to secure the right to vote to the enfran
chised race at the south, but aho to
TREVENT FRAUDULENT VOTINO
in large cities cf the North. Congress has,
therefore, exercised the power conferred by
the constitution, and has enacted certain
laws to prevent discrimination on account
of race, color or previous condition of
servitude, and to prevent fraud, violence
and intimidation at federal elections.
Attention is called to the following sec
tions of the revised statutes of the United
States, to-wit: Section 2004, which guar
antees to all citizens the light to vote,
without distinction on account of race,
color or previous condition of servitude;
sections 2005 and 200C, which guarantee to
all citizens equal apiortunity, without dis
crimination, to perform all acts regarded
by law as here requisite, or a qualification
lor voting ; section -0--, which authorizes
the United States Marshal and his deputies
to keep peace and preserve order at federal
elections; section 2025, which expressly
authorizes United States Marshal' and his
deputies to summon a pwas eommitui,
when ever they or any of them ate forcibly
resisted in the execution of their duties or
under the law are prevented from executing
their duties by violence; section 5522,
which provides for the punishment of the
crime of in'erferirg with smervisors of
election and deputy 'marshal', in the dis
charged their duties at elections of Rep
resentatives in Congress.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE LAWS
on this subject, which it is tbe duty of the
hxecutive Department ol the Government
to enforce. The interest and effect of the
Gth section of this bill is to prohibit all
civil officers of the United States, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment, fromem
ployiDg any adequate civil force for this
unite in their amendment.
THEIR RIGHTS AND DUTIES,
under the law, will remain; but the national
government will be tsowerless to enforce its
own statute.
States may employ both the military and
civil power to keep peace and enforce laws
at State elections. It is now proposed to
deny to the United States the necessary
civil authority to protect national elections.
Xo sufficient reason has been given for this
discrimination in favor of the State and
agaicct national authority. If well founded
ocjeciions exist against the present na
tional election laws, all good citizens would
oppose, at a place where their enforce
ment is most necefsary, namely : At poll
when congressional elections are held.
Among tbe most valuable enactments to
which I have referred are thoe which pro
tect the supervisors cf federal a'ccticns in
the diixhdrze of their duties a. the po'Is
If the pending legislation should becom a
law, there is no power vested in any efficer
of the govcrnmiLt to protect from violence
etneers ot the united states engaged in the
discharge of their duties.
Law providing safeguards ot elections
should be impartial, just acd efficient.
Tbey should, it possible, Iw so non-partisan
and fair in their operations that the
party oat of power will have no just
grounds to complain. Tbe present laws
have, in practice, unquestionably conduced
to the protection of fraud and violence at
elections; acd, in several of the States,
MEMBERS OF DIFFERENT rOLITICAI. PAR
TIES have applied for the safeguards which they
furnish. It is the right and duty of the
national government to enact and enforce
laws which will secure free and fair con
gressional elections. The laws now in force
are laws which will aecure,free acd fair Con
gressional elections. Raws in force should
not be repealed, except in connection with
tbe enactment of measures which will bet
ter accomplish the desired ecd. Believiag
that the section of the bill before me will

section is, however, not pretested to me as
a eeparate and independent measure,
but as it has been stated attached to a bill
making the usual annual appropriations.
It prohibits, under heavy penalties any
person engaged in the civil service of the
United States from having any force at a
place of election, prepared "to preserve
order, to make arres's, to keep peace, or in
any manner enforce the laws, ThU is al
together foreign to the purpose of any army
appriation bill.
The practice of attaching to army ap
propriation bills measures cot pertinent to
euch bilks, did cot prevail until more than
tortv years after the adoption of the con
stitution. It has now become the common
practice. AH parties, when in power, have
adopted it. Many abases and great waste of
public money have, in this way, erept into
appropriation bills. The public opinion of
THE COCNTRr IS AGAINST IT.
States which have recently adopted consti
tutions have generally provided a remedy
for the evil by enacting that no law shall
contain more than one subject, which ehall
be plainly expressed in the title. The
constitutions cf more than half of the
States contain substantially the provisions.
The public welfare will be promoted in
many ways by a return to the early practice
of the government, and the principle of
legislation which requires that every
measure shall stand or fall according to its
own merits. If it were understood that to
attach to an appropriation a measure irrev
elent to the general obi-ct of the bill.
would imperil and probably prevent the
final passage and approval. A valuable
reform in the parliamentary practice of
congress would be accomplished best.
a be justification that has been ottered lor
attaching the irrelevalant riders to the ap
propriation bill, is that it is done for conve
nience sake, to ticilttate the passage ol
measures which are deemed expedient bv
all branches of the government, which
participate in legislation.
IT CASNOT BE CLAIMED
thattthere is any such rea-on for'attaching
the amendment of election laws to the ap
propriation bill. The history of the
measure contradicts the assumption. Tbe
msjirityof the House of Representatives,
in the last Congress, was in favor e f a e ec
tion to the bill. It was established by the
consti ution and bylaws passed in pursuance
thereof. Their duties are clearly defined,
and their support is carefully provided for
by law.
Money required for this purpose has
beeu collected from the people, and is row
in the treasury ready tone paid out as soon
as appropriation bills are passed. Whether
the apptrpriations are made or not, the
collection of taxes will go on, and the pub
lic money will accumulate in the treasury.
It was not the intention of the frainers of
ibe constitution that any single branch of
the government should have power to
DICTATE THE CONDITION
upon which this treasury should be applied
to the purposes for which it was collected.
Any such intention, if it had been enter
taiced, would have been plainly expresses!
in the constitution. That a majority of
tbe Senate now concurs in the claim of
adds to the gravity of the solution, but does
not alter the question at L'ue. The new
doctrine, if maintained, will result in the
consolidation an unchecked and despotic
power In the Hou'e of Representatives,
a bare majority of the Hou-e will become
the government. The executive will no
longer be what the framers of cous,itution
interded an independent branch of the
government. It i clearly the constitu
tional duty of the President to exercise his
discretion and judgment upon all bills
presented to Lim, without constraint or
duress from any other branch of the gov
ernment To say that a majority of either
or both houses ol CoDgre's may sist on
the appro al of the bill, ucder jenalty of

of the government for wait cf necessary

qualified negative of ihe Pre-ident. Ii is

people of this country are unwilling to see
the
SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION
replaced by the omnipotence of any dis
tinct branch of the (oven.iuent. The en
actment of this bill into a law will
establish a precedent which will teed tode
stroy tbe equal independence of the several
branches ol tbe government. Its principle
states, that not merely th-- Senate and execu
tive, but the judiciary also, are under the
coercive direction of ihe House. The
House alone, will be the judge of what con
stitutes and also of the means acd meas
ures of redress. An act ot CoDgre-s to pro
tect elections is now the grievance com
plained of; but the House
may, on the same principle,
determine that any other act of Congress,
a treaty made by the President with tbe
advice and consent of the Senate, a nomi
nation or appointment to office, or that a
decision or opinion of the hupreme court,
is a grievance, and that the measure of re
dress is to withhold ths appropriations re
quired for the support of the offending
branch of the government. Relieving that
this is dangerous violation of
the spirit and meaning of
the constitution. I am compelled to
return it to the Houee, in which
it originated, without my approval. Tbe

tion invo-ts the President is a trust that in

principle of the bill. I desire earnestly to
uri:e upon the House of Representatives
a return to the wise and whole-ome usage
of the earlier days cf the Republic, which
excluded from the appropriation bills all
irrevelent legislation. By this courfe you
will inaugurate an important reform in the
method of congressional legislation. Your
action will be in harmony with the fund a
mental principle ot the constitution and
the patriotic sentiment of nationality,
which is their firm support; and yon will
restore to tbe country that feeling of confi
dence and security and repose which is bi
essential to the prosperity of all our fellow
citizens. Signed, Rutherford B. Hayes.

Nome Interestins Experiments made
by Ur. C'harot In farls).
For some years past Dr. Charot, an emi
nent medical professor, has been giving at
the Asylum of La Salpetriere, Pari, extra
official courses of clinical lectures on the
nerve us maladies with which hia work is so
largely concerned. These weekly lectures
have been highly popular, and special in
terest has been excittd this year, as the Pro
fessor has takeu up questions connected
with somnambulism and animal magnetism,
a class oflphenomena, which have, perhaps,
been too much in tbe hands of charlatans
hitherto, and the truth about which has been
mixed with error and absurdity. Report
ing the Professor's exjwrience to the La
Salure, Dr. Carta z considers he has given
iKkilively demonstration that sonambulism
catalei-y, etc, are among the numerous
forms ot hysteria.
J )r. Charcot showed that certain hysteric
poisons could be easily thrown under cer
tain conditions into such states. Thus, a
patitnt is placed before an intense light
g , the electric acd requested to look at
it. In a few seconds or minutes she be
comes motionless in a state ol
catalepsy. The ejea are fixed;
the limbs are supple. and will
keep any position eiven them. In this
stale physiognomy seems to retlcct to some
extent the.expressions of the gestures; if
the limbs be put in a threatening attitude,
ihe face darkens; if the lingers be joined on
the lips as if to wave a kiss, the face be
comes smiling and open; but beyond Buch
miKhucations trom altitude the patient re
mains impassive, fixed and insensible to
the outer world. If the luminous beam be
now interrupted with a screen, or by clos
ing tbe eyelids, the catalepsy suddenly
gives place to a state of lethargy or
somnambulism. The patient falls on her
back, her neck being stretched, her breath
ing loud (accompanied by a slight hiccup),
the eyes convulsed, with all the svmptoms
of the beginning of a bystero-epileptic at
tack. On being called loudly, she will rie and
come to the person calling, will erform at
request various combined movements, as
writinjr, sewimj. etc., and sometimes answer
questions, all the time being in complete
anesthesia. Uiher agencies besides light
will bricg on those cries e. g they may
be produced by sound; and to illustrate
this Dr. Charcot produced a gigantic tun
ing tort, giving a very deep note, and
rounded it when oneof tie patients was
i-eatrd on the resonance care; she soon fell
into cat&l psy. Ihe somormbulist state is
easily di'sipited e. g , by blowing into the
lace. Uae notable experiment ol Dr. Lhar-
crt proved that the two stHtes catalepsy
and lethargy eould exict simultaneously
in one person.
The patient iving put into tbe former
state is made lethrrgic on one side by
ros.ing the e-ye of that side or ehutting off
the luminous ray from it with a screen;
this side (say tbe left) ha then no longer
ihe prjptrty which tl.e right has of main
Uinirg any given attitude in the limbs. A
I eeuliar muscular bvperexcitability (as Dr.
Charcot further shows) appears with the
lethargy. By eently pressing or rubbing a
muscle it can be made to contract immedi
ately ; and on pressing the truck of a nerve
the mu-cle to which it parses will contract.
In this way may be produced those various
facial changes which Dr. Duchenue, ol
iv ulogce, has obtained with electricity
The nature f tic nervous disorders in
question is far from bing adiquatcly
known as yet, and Dr. Charcot dees not
offer anv scientific explanntion. It is im
portant that ex ct observations should be
accumulated, ami the precipe conditions of
tbe phenomena, their mcdihcttions under
such acd tuch cause, etc, be determined.
