Tile Elflctioirliill Veto.
Wlu*n the President vetoed the
Army bill he gave to Congress the
reasons upon which he based bis
veto. He did not however in Buy
of bis objections intimate that he
•resin favor.of any inilitary inter
ference at elections
Now if the President was can
did in the statement.ot his oject-
tionn tn the bill that , he vetoed,
Congress had the right to assume
that if a hill were framed and en-
aoted'not'subjectto the objections
upon whioh the veto' was based,
that it would not be met with a
veto the second time; and, inas
much as the main object of the
Democrats was to prohibit the use
of. j^deral troops at the polls; and,
as the President did not object to
the.Army bill because it deprived
him of the power of coutroling
elections, ajbill was draughted by
the Committee bn the J udiciary,
whioh was not obnoxious to any
of the objections which thd 'Preai-
dVnt had urged against the Army
Bill This bill, known a* the elec-
flop Ibillj prohibited the , usp ol
federal spldjers at auy., elect j«q
except upon, the .request of the
legislature (or of. the • ftoveunr in
the event the ' legislature should
not.he in session) ot the Htate'sin
which the troops'were tietiled'. ‘In
other wodds, the h II pluooi elec
tiodspeb hr as regards the prtsetice
of'tfrbojts at-the polls, tfpo'n 'the
same footing as ' heliii'e till ,war.
The issue was thus narrowed down
to this: whether ih'ecountry shopld
have free elections,, npd the people
decide who sliould be their rulers,

The Piesident has niet theques

He h'as vetoed the bill* ayd, thus
aligned iiimsrlt with the, worst
and most violent wing of the lie
publican .party. Tho President
and hjs party seem to have mode
up their quarrel and comp , to the
determination to hold on to tftV-
Executive hranoh ot the govern

this position he no doubt presumes

So tqr.asconcerns the Democrat

thp United SuteN Ciicuit Court to
day a writ 01 habeas corpus in the
miscegenation case of the negro,
Edward Kinney and the white wo
man, Mary Hiill..!]OW coufined in
t-lie penitentiary tor violation ol
the statute prohibiting intermar
riage of tac- 8, wue refme-1 by J11 Ige
Hughes, on the ground that the
United States Courts have no ju
risdiction over questions of mar
riages.
The.opinion holds that the laws
of marriage are at the sovereign
control and will ot each State, un
affected. by any provision or uny
article of the Constitution of the
United States; that absolute and
entWpower over these laws is
necessarily left all to the govern
ment ‘of local society; that the
laws under which the parties Were
convicted was with the uurcstrain-
ed legislative power of Virginia to
enact, and that it,'is not prohibited
by any provision of the National
Constitution.
As to making contracts, the
opinion holds that section 1977 of
the Revised Statutes, which, se
cures to all persons withiu the
United States the right in- every
^tato, to make and enforce con
tracts, etc., can only refer to con
tracts lawfurunher tho law of the
State? wherein-it is propose to en
force them. Admitting that mar
riage is a contract, it is held that
the-privilege of enforcing it ex
tends only to lawful tuiirria^s.
and that if a citizu of Virgihia
went to the District of Ciilumbia.

For the information of parties desir

firmed by Gov. Cook that. Supervisors
fir the various States will not he ap
pointed until December next, and th-it
the Enumerators will not Ixt appoint

seen that any application before March
next for the Ihri named office will be
premature. We may moution in this
connection that more than seventy live
applications have already gone up

murder. Thu scene of the crime wm

Tho difficulty was between two negri
convicts on the plantation of Mr Chest-
Howard early yesterday morning, and
resulted in one cutting the othoi'V
throat, killing him almost instantly.
Tho origin of the difficulty our inform
ant failed to learn, but it is supposed
to havo been something about their
breakfast. The murdered man was the

perpetrator, we suppose, bus beeu ar-
