Frederick Douglass, the ablest colored
man in the United States, is opposed to the
present exodus of colored people from the
South, and in a letter to the Philadelphia
JVeu, which We copy elsewhere, he gives
his reasons for believing that the colored
people are making a great mistake. His
position is a strong one, and his arguments
are substantially the sune as those advanced
by W. D. Matthews, in an interview pub.
lished in our columns some two weeks ago.

Some interesting figures about the condi
tion of the iron and steel trade have been
brought out by the meeting cf the associa
tion in Pittsburg last week. No industry
felt the effect of the hard times more
severely, and only 2G5 of the G92 blast fur
naces reported last year were in operation.
Those which were in operation, however,
did a great business, and the production of
pig iron has advanced from 2,093,23G tons
in 187C to 2,277,001 in 1S7S. Another
striking fact i the increase in the produc
tion of Bessemer steel. The amount of pig
iron converted by the Besemer process in
1874 was 201,352 tons, while last year it
reached 739,705, and the amount of Bes
semer steel rails produced grew between the
same years from 144.944 to 550,393.

The Dwight Insurance case may fairly be
regarded as settled now, we suppose, since
the jury of doctors, selected by the interested
insurance companies, have been unable to
develop anything upon which to basi a the
ory ol suicide. After recurrectlng the
body, and cutting and carving it to their
hearts' content, they have rendered the fol
lowing verdict:
"We find that the said 'Walton Dwight
came to his death at the Spaulding House,
in the city of Binghamton, on the 15th of
November, 187S, from exhaustion of the
vital powers, produced by protracted vom
iting, malnutrition, and the enervating ef
fects of malarial poison, terminating in a
fatal collapse; and, furthermore, we find
that the said Walton Dwight did not come
to his death from suicide or homicidal
causes.

The Postmaster of Leavenworth received
Saturday afternoon, from the Secretary of
the Treasury, twenty thousand dollars in
ten-dollar four per cent refunding certifi
cates, for sale with accrued interest from
date of the certificates, April 1, 1S79.
On Saturday afternoon the sales amounted
to S1.200, principal, and accrued interest
$523. Yesterday, Monday the 12:h, the
sales amounted to 50 730, principal, and
30 96 accrued interest. Total sales, $7,930.
Sales are limited to one hundred dollars
to each applicant during the day, although
there are no instructions to limit sales
the postmaster thinking it better to abide
by the regulation", reported by telegraph
from other offices. Parties desiring these
certificates should call at once if they want
them, as from appearances the demand i
so great that the present supply will soon
be exhausted.

SIIAItETIICI S.
The New York Crapltie refers to the
desolate aspect of the streets of many
American cities from the want of trees.
They are built, it says, to a great extent,
on the supposition that the presence of
trees and vegetation is not a necessity to
human health and convenience. Two
thirds of Manhattan Island are dot a
desert, with an uneven surface of brick,
stone and mortar. Besides the shade they
afford, trees, through the action of their
leaves, modify the intense summer heat.
The tree does not lecome heated in the
hottest weather. It is constantly pumping
up moisture from the earth, and' breathing
it out through the leaf lungs. A tree is an
invisible fountain, saturating the air about
it with coolness. More than that, in like
manner, it distributes other elements bene
ficial to human health. Contrast our neg
lect in this matter, continues the Graphic,
with the vast forest which Paris prows
within her walls. The unending leafy
-walks are found there not merely in the
suburban boulevards, but in the busthrg
centres of trade; not merely in single lines
on either curb, but for miles in avenues of
two, fonr, and even six rows, about every
trunk, the iron grati.g affording to the
roots light and air, and on every tree its
number a token of the systematic care
taken of the Parisian forests.

The result of the vote in California, upon
the new constitution, has taken the country
by iurprise, and the newspapers are all full
0lcoostaoU upon it, with speculations as
to tto cause and probable effect of the
frftitm of the instrument. The object of
the frisaeri of the constitution was to
control the great monopolies which hold so
much of the wealth of California. Ex
Bwitor Fitch, of Nevada, says its sharpest
tkrasts are directed against the Flood &
O'Brien party, against Haggaa & Teris,
the leading lawyer loaaers, who are worth
tl5.000.0O0, and ahare paper at usurious

AXOTIIi:it VETO.
Those who supposed that the President
would sign the military interference bill,
have been disappointed. 1 lie report from
Washington, some days ago, to the effect
that the measure would be approved, was
based upon the fact that before he had seen
the txt of the bill the President said to
several friends that if it should simply for
bid the u e of troops at the polls, he could
see no reasin why it should" not become a
law. After the bill wis printed, nad the
I'eairleut I gin a careful examination of it
inconne-tion with its effect cnexis ins lairs
r.nd the Constitution of the United State-",
it is understood that he vtryroon came
to the cocclufion that the character of the
measure was cot fairly represented by its
title, and that while it was ostensibly a bill
to prevent military interference at elections
it was in fact a bill which would tend to
cripple the Executive in the exercise of his
constitutional power in many directions,
and lay restraints croa him in the execu
tion of tL laws. Hence the ine-sge of the
President returning the bill with his objec
tion', which is given in full in our tele
graphic eolumes thi morning is not a mat
of surprise to the coun'ry.
The President shows that the arguments
urg'd by him rgiinst ths "rider" upon the
army bill, b'-sr with ii3al force
upon the icesyure ia 113 present
shape, ail the same reasons which
nreventel him from signing that
made it impossible for him to approve this.
He states bis obj'dions in clsar and con
cise terms, a-sd handles the subject in a
strong and statesmanlike manner, showing
that every good feature cf the bill is al
ready coveted by existing legislation, and
that the laws at present upin the statute
books are abundantly ample to accjmplish
all that is ostensibly aimed al by the pres
ent bill.
He shows that the power which this bill
seeks to take away irom the General Gov
ernment was recognized and conferred in
ansctpaied by one of the earliest Con
greases, and signeJ bv President Washing
ton, that it was enlargel by a measure
paved during the administratijn of Presi
doat Jefferson, that subjlantially the same
law was re-enacted in the revise! statute,
and that such a law, amended from time
to time, as exigencies might arise demand
ing it, has been upon the etatutc books
since the very earliest period of the govern
ment, and bince the claim that the law
which this bill seeks to repeal was "a war
measure," falls to the ground.
He shows that while the power of the
United ta'ci Government to use the array
for all purposes, at all times and places,
his never been abridged or questinaid,
that the power has never been used far
the purpose of carrying elections and
nocitizsnof the United Sutes his ever
been intetlered with in the free exercise of
his right of t-uffrage by the military, and
that no reason exifts for believing at this
time that there is danger of such interfer
ence. Therefore, the Prisident concludes
that the only practical eQect of the meas
ure would be to tie the hands of the gov
ernment, in ca-ts of emergency, by pre
lending to guard against tn evil that d es
not exist.

According to the Kev. Mr. Scudder, a
mis'ionary in India, lour men bought a
quantity of cotton in copartnership. That
tne rats might not injire it, they bought a
cat, anil agreed that each shocll own one
of Us legs. Etch leg was then adorned
with beads and other ornaments by its
owner. Ths; cat accidentally ii jared one
ot its Ie-, sal the owner wound a ra;
around it sosked in oil. The cat by chance
t the rag on fire, and, being in great pain,
rushed aniens the cotton biles, v-Iiere the
had been accustomed to hunt rats The
cotton wis to'ally burned. The three
other pinner brougat suit against the
owner of the injured les to recover the
va'ue of their rotion, and the judge decided
that, as the injured leg could not be used,
-he cat carried the fire to the cotton wiih
her three regaining legs. They only were
ulpable, and the o vners were required to
corapinsatc ihe owner of the injured leg
for bis share c l loss.

strength than any other Kepublican except

by tLe Democratic majority in Congress, by
endtavorirg to force the government into
the adoption cf States' rights theories
which were popularly "thought to
have bevn settled and silerctd forever
by the war, keeps alive the demand
for'a strong government"' and that means
Grant. Popular opinion instinctively
turns io him as the man far the emergency,
and whether he shall be nominated and
elected next year or cot. depends upon
whether the Democrats keep up their pres
ent suicidal policy of attempting to carry
their echemea under the threat of starving
the Government. The Chicago Inttr-Ozean
a Grant paper has a Washington dis

to indicate that the tide is turning pretty
strongly in favor of Mr. Sherman, and that
the prospects are good for his nomination

Grant by keeping up their foolishness.

Tried to Steal a Harivl or WIiULj-.
t Junction City Union, 10.
Last Saturday evening two soldiers from
Fort lliley, belonging to Company C, stole
a half barrel of whisky from the wholesale
house of George L. Miller, and were mak
ing away with it, when they were brought
upstanding by the inevitable Tom Allen.
Their name areBobert Kelly (shoemaker)
and Fred. II. Shsper (tailor). They rolled
the barrel from the front door aliout nine
o'clock in the evening, and ihey did this
while A. J. Waters, a tramp, was parleying
with Uncle Billy Monroe for a bottle of
whisky in the sample room in the
rear; and he wore a soldiers cap at
the time. The bariel was rolled to the
railroad track south of Dixon's eleva
tor, and as they were about to place
it upon a hand car which they had appro
priated for the occasion, the city marshal
suddenly appeared with a drawn revolver
in hand and arrested them. aler was
with them and was also arrested. These
thieves were discovered by J. K. Harriot,
who saw them rolling the barrel down
Fifth street. They were placed in jiil that
night and on Monday they appeared before
'Squire Gordon, who hound over Kelly and
Shaper in the sum of $200 each. Waters
was releaied on the evidence of Kelly, who
swore that Waters had nothing to do with
the theft. Kelly is a bad egg acd has
caued the Sixteenth Infantry a good deal
of trouble. He is a good soldier when sober
bat an awful nuisance when drunk.

In the whole range of sacred and profane
literature, perhaps there is nothinz recorded
which has such staying properties as a
eood healthy mortgage. A mortgage can
be depended upon to stick closer than a
brother. It has a mission to perform
which never Jets up. Diy afler day it ia
right there, nor does the slightest tendency
to slumber impair its vigor in the eight.
Night and day, on the Sabbath, and at holi
day times, without a moment's time for
rest and recreation, the biting offspring of
its existence interest goes on. The sea
son may change, days run into weeks,
weeks into months to be swallowed np into
the gray man of advancing years, hut that
mortgage stands np in sleepless vigilance,
with tht? interest, a perennial stream,
ceaselessly running on. Like a huge night
mare eating out the sleep of some resllefs
lumberer, the enpaid mortgage rears up
its gaunt front ia perpetual torment to the
miserable wight who is held within its pit
leas clutch. It holds the poor victims with
the relentless grasp of m giant; not one

forces cf the United Siates. The fact was
presented in that communication that at
the time of the uasa e of' the act of June
1-ith, ls7S ia relati m to the employment
of the army as a "Ks.-e com
mitatus" or otherwise, it was main
tained by its friends that it would
establish the vital and fundimcntal princi
ple which would eecure to ihe eople pro
tection against a standing army. The fact
was also referred to thai sinc the passage
of this ac, Congressional, State and mil
nicipal elections had b-eo held throughout
ihe L'nion, and that in no instance has c uu
plaint been mide .f the j resence of United
States soldier at the pods. Holdirg, a 1
do, the opinion that any military intcr'er
ence whatever at the polUis contrary to
the snirit of our institutions, and wO'lId
teed to destrov the freedom of eleciioLS,
and sincertv desiring to concur with Con
gress in all of its measure, it is with very
great regret that I am forced to the conclu
sion that the bill befere me i not only 'in
necessary to prevent such interference, but
is a dangerous departure from a long set
tled and important constitutional principle.
THE TKT'E KULE
for the employment of military fprre at
elections is not doubtful. Xo intimidation
or coercion should be allowed to control or
influence citizens in the exercise of their
right to vote, whether it appears in the
shape 01 comoinaiiocs 01 i-vn-uispurcu ier
sons or of armed bodies of the militii of a
State, orof the military forresof the United
States. The elections should be free from
all forcible interference and as far as prac
ticable from all apprehension of tuchjnter
fererce. Xo soldier, either of the Union cr
nf State militia should be present at the
polls to take the place or perform the du
ties of the ordinary civil tiolice force.
There ha3 been acd will be no violation of
this rule under orders from me dnrin; this
administration. But there should hi no
denial of the right of the National Govern
ment to employ its military force on any
day and at any "place in case such employ
ment iJnecessarr to enforce the Constitution
and law of the I nited States. The bill be
fore me is as follows .
THE E'LT
"Be it enacted &c, That it shall net be
lawful to bring to or to employ at any
place where a general or special election is
hem" held in anv State, any part of the
army or navy of the United States, unless
such force be necessary to repel armed ene
mies of the United fetatc or to enlorce
section four, article four of the Constilti
linn of the United States, and laws made in
pursuance thereof, on application of the
I-ecislature or Kxe;titive of the State
where such force U to be u-ed; acd so'mnch
of all laws as i inconsistent he:eithi.s
hereby repealed."
IT WIIX BE OCiEUVED
that the b.ll exempts from the general pro
hibition1 against employment of military
forces at jsolls two specific cases. Thee
exceptions recognize and concede the
soundness cf the principle that the military
force may projeny and coiiotitiitionally be
used at the place ot election wnen sucn
use i r.eces-ary to enforce the Constitution
and laws, but the exrepted cases leave the
prohibition so extensive and f sr reaching
that its adoption will eeri usly impair the
efficiency of the Executive department of
the "orernment. The first act expressly
author zing the use of the military power
to execute the law wa passed almost as
early a the organization of the govern
ment under the Constitution, and was ap
proved bv President Washington, Miy 2d,
1792.
THE FIRST AtniioitrrY.
It is as follows:
Sccnos 2. And be it further enacted,
That whenever the laws 0t the United btatee
shall be opposed, or the execution thereof
obstructed in any fctate, uy comuinanons
too powerful to be suppressed by the ordin
ary course of judicial proceedings, or by
powers vested in marshals by this act, the
same being notified to the President of the
United State by an asoc.ate justice cr
district j'idge, ii shall be lawful for the
President of the United Statu to call forth
the militia of such State to suppress euch
combinations and to caue the law to be
duly executed, and if the militia of a State
where such combinations may happen i-hall
refuse or be in-utficient to suppress the
sime, it shall be lawful for the President,
if the Legiilature of the United States
be not in session, to rill forth
acd employ sarh memUrs of militia of any
other states most convenient thereto as may
be necessary until the expiration of thirty
days after the commencement d the enue
in2 session."
In 170-3 this provision wa mbstantially
re-enacted in law which repealed the act
of 1792. In 107 the following act became
the law by the approval of President Jef
ferson: AVCUZit
"That in all ci"e of insurrection on ob
struction to the laws either of the United
States or of any individual State or Terri
tory, where it is lawful for the President of
the United States to call lorth the militia
for the purpose of suppressing such insur
rection, or of ciusinz the laws to be duly
observed, it shall be lawful for him to em
ploy for the samejpuriioees such part of the
land or nayal lorce as shall be jodged
neceaary, having first observed all the
prerequisites of the law in that resjiect.
Er THI ACT
it will be seen that the scope of the liw of
179-3 wa extended so as to authonz; the
National Government to use not only the
militia but the irmy and navy of the United
States in causing the laws to be duly exe
cuted. The important provision of the
acts of 1792, 1795 and 1S70, modified ia its
terms Irom time to time to adapt it to ex
isting exigencies, remained in force, until
by an act approved by President Lincoln,
July 23,.1SC1, it was re-enacted substan
tially in the same language in which it is
now found in the Kevised Statutes, viz :
" St ction 5293. Whenever, by reason cf un
lawful obstructions, combinations, or assem
blages of person, or rebellion against the
authority of the Government of the United
States, it shall become impracticable, in the
judgment of the President, to enforce by
the ordinary course of judicial proceedings,
the laws of the United Statea within any
State or Territory, it shall be lawful for the
President to call forth the militia of any or
all States acd to employ such parts cf the
land and naval forces of the United States
as he may deem necessary to enforce the
faithful execution of the laws of the United
States, or to suppress such rebellion, in
whatever State or Territory thereof the
laws of the United States may be forcibly
opposed or the execution thereof forcibly
obstructed."
TH13 AXCIEST 'AJfD FCXDAMESTAI. LAW
has been in force from the foundation of the
government. It is row jropesed to abro
gate it on certain days and at certain
places.
In my judgment no fact has been pro
duced which tends to show thatjt ought to
be repealed or suspended for a single hour,
st any place in any of the States or Terri
torial of the Union. AlLtha teaching! of

supremacy of the Constitution has been re
sisted, and the perpetuity of onr institu
tions imperiled the principle of ihl statute
enacted by the fathers, has enabled trie
government of the Union to maintain jy
authority aaa to preserve the utegritr of
tne nation. At the most "cntiial
rcr'o's of oar fcis'ory, my .Jpredecei-rj
in the executive effice hive relied on this
great principle. It was on this principle
that President Washington suppressed the
the whi-iky rebellion in Philadelphia ia
1792. In 1S0G, on the sime principle,
President JetTersoa broke up the Burr con
spiracy, by issuing orders for the employ
ment ol such force, either of the regulars or
of the milifia, and by such proceeding of
the civil authorities as might enable them
to suppress effectually the further progress
of the enterprite. It was under the sanis
authority that President Jackson crushed
the nullification in South Carolina, and
that President Lincoln issued his cail fer
troops to Bave the Union in 1SGL
OS SCMEFU3CS OTHER OCCASIONS
of less significance, under probably every
administration and certainly under the
present, this power has been usifullv ex
erted to enforce the laws, without objc
tion by any party ia the country and al
most without attrac'ing pub';c attention.
The great elementary conti luteal princi
ple which was the foundation of the origi
nal statute of 1792, of wb'c1! has been its
essence in the various forms it ha assumed
since its first adoption, is that the govern
ment cf the L'nitt-d Stale os?eres, ticiler
the Constitution, in a fuller measure, the
power of t-elf-protectioa by its own a;encie
altogether independent ot State authority,
and, if need be, against the hostility of
State governments. It should n main em-bo-tied
in our statutes, unimp tired as it
has teen from the

THI3 DI-CRIMINATION
hi never b-en attempted in any previous
legislation by Congre-s, and i no more
compatible with the sound principle of
the Constitution or the necessary maxitim
on rccasions cf election', than at other
times.
Inthecarlr legislation of 17oi ard cf
179-0, by which the militii of the State
was the only military ower recorted to for
the execution of the constitutional power
in support of State or X itioual authority,
both Junctions of the covernment were put
upon the same footing. By the act of 1S07,
the employment of the army and navy was
auihnrzit fortheierformanceof bothlhefe
constitutional diitiej. In the same terms
in all later statutes on the same subject
matter, the same meature of authority to
the government has been acemded for
the performance of both these duties.
SO rr.ECFDEST HAS BEEN FOCS1
in any previous legislature, and nostiffic'ent
reason has been given for the ilircriminatii.n
in favor of the State and against the na
tional etithority, hich thi bill contains
Under the sweeping terms of the bill, the
national governu.ent is efieciially shut out
from the exerci e of the right tnd from the
discharce of its imperative dtitv to we its
jKer whecevr and wherever required, for
the enforcement ol it law at places and
times where and when the eh ction are
held. The employment of it orginiz'd
anned force for any euch purpns.s would
be an offere against the law, unless r tiled
for by and, therefore, u n the I ermi-Hii in
of the authorities of the S ae in which ihe
occasion arises. What n tl is tint the siib
stltution of the discretion f ihe Stole gov
ernment. for the di-cTetiuii of ihe Ubiied
State-s, as to the performance of its own
duties ' In my judgment, ih.s is an
ACINDOSMENT OF ITS CBUOATIOX3
br the Nitional GovernnK nt, a sopBsi n
of National authority, and an in'rusion ol
State supervision over N ation tl duties,
which amounts in spirit and tendency to
State supervision. Although I believe the
existing statute are abundantly ad. quite
to completely prevent military interference
with elections, in the serse in which the
phrace i used in thetitl of the bill, aod i'
employed by the jieoplc of the country, I
shall find no difficulty ia concurring
in anv additional legislation limited to
that object, which doe not interfere with
the indispensable exercise of thepoaersif
the ( o7er uinent, acd the Const istitut.on
laws.
