V<'N» of the Legtslatve Bill.
xpittted the Executive, Leg-
islutivo an.t Judicial Appropriation
bill, has been Vetoed by the President.
Congress Ims incorporated iuto the bill
a section rop.taliag the laws with refer
ence to the appointment of deputy mar
shals and supervisors of elections. The
veto was based mainly on the ground
that to repeal the laws with reference
to these officers would open the door
to fraud and intimidation, and that
therefore their services were necessary
to secure free and fair elections.
The President seems to be of opin
ion that he is the government, and
that ever}- act passed by Congress not
in consonance with his views is revo
lutionary and treasonable. We had
always supposed that the Legislative
and J udicial Department were as much
a part of the government as was tho
Executive; but it seems in this we were
mistaken, and, that it is the part of
Congress merely to register his edicts.
The President it appears entertains
the singular idea that officers oannot
bo trusted to enforce the laws and con
duct a free aud fair election; but only
transform them into Federal officers,
and presto, that moment they become
non-partisan and models of fairness,
integrity and purity.
Let us see how far the facts sustain
this novel theory of the President.
Take the State of New York for in
stance. In that State, Davenport, a
Federal officer, a few days before the
election in 1878 for Congress members
aud State officers, caused his clerk to
swaur warrants for over four thousand
lawful voters charging them with
attempt at fraudulent voting. And
just here it may be remarked that this
clerk could not by possibility know
whether the affidavits he had made were
true or false.
The execution of those warrants, was
of a piece with the manner in which
they had been sworn out. Lawful
peacable voters were arrested by-., the
thousand ami continu'd in u Pugey
the election was over, unless they would
promise Davenport that titty '■would
n>t vote; but if the man hau voted be
fore he was arrested, he wus discharg
ed, i»ml nothing fuitherwas done. Oue
of these men who had been arrested,
carried his ease before a Republican
judge who decided that Davenport’i
proceeding's were illegal from begin
niug to end; and yet hi consequence
of this lawless conduct of Davenport,
the Republicans secured the election of
at leMst tin ed or four Congress
hers in the city of New York in Dis
tricts clearly Democratic under a fair
election.
We have instanced the conduct of
one officer aud could give many others
if it were necessary. For instance,
Jersey City at a kem election^ gives
about five tliOusatid Democratic major
ity; and yet under the dishonest man
ipulation of supervisors and deputy
marshals, a Republican was elected to
Congress. Thus it has been all over
liie northern States; in districts which
wore Democratic or doubtful, these
emissaries were sent in swarms to con
trol electiotis in favor of Republicans;
aud they did it. About $200 000
was the cost to the country of tliefe
parisan - officers. The only wonder is,
tlm» the Democrats succeeded as well
as they did. Still the President says
timir services are so necessary to the
country, which in kia vocabulary means
film Republican party, that he will al
low the army disbanded and courts
rlosed bcluru lm will give them up.
Thus instead of having the laws execu
ted as liis oath of office requires, he
threatens to plunge the country lb to
anarchy if Congress insists on th# re
peal of the laws already named,
Tbe issue has been made and joined,
oked) tbe people hereafter he Heft to
sheteselves to elect rulers, or, shall
they be selected by the President ? Lei
the Democrats past the Appropriation
bills in the usual form a*| then go
home; and if the people of tjtf* country
still desire a free government, they
a*°d not fear the veswlfc.

for April, says: “There is no raa*

was followed by a deep infantile 1

gratitude for its relief, but imagine J
their surprise when the fond father
on taking the babe from her sis

caused by death. A thrill of sur

sudden arief, eeizvd every heart
fiiiled every rnitid of the family.

Wright, also colced, with whom
he huh had two or three quarrels
a short time previous. While talk
ing Henry pick'd up a pistol lying
on the shelf aud pres nu ted it at
Dave’s head. Dave told him not
to poriit the pistol towards him,
as it was loaded. Henry replied,
“Let me show you how men do
when they fight," and discharged
the pistol, the ball taking effect in
the cenfe of Dave’s forehead. The
woundrid youth fell to the Boor,
his brains protruding from the
frightful wouud. Medical aid
availed nothing, and he died on
Sunday night lust. The prisoner
