n ri!E butler Gerald. W. N. BENN8. K<llt«r and Pnllihir.' icmption Trior *1.00. Tub Annum. TTJRHD VV JUNE 3rd IPV9. 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. Crops, habdL aud Farm Sup*] piles In Georgia. 1 • The Georgia State Department of Agriculture, in its official report for April, says: “There is no raa* teria! change in the acreage plant ed in cotton, the -ii.crease for the whole State beiug only one per cent, over that ot last year. The crop geue.uily was planted later thau last year, aud us condition is eight per com. below an average and the condition last year at the same date. The arvajjilevuted to rioe has increased three per cent, uvea that of last year, which war. seven per oeut. more than that oS the year previous. Corn is six pet cent, below an average. A larg. portion of the crop was injured by the trout, which occurred Irom the th to the Oth of the mouth, and iu many instances it whs so badly injured as to necessitate plowing up and plauliug over entirely. Tbe average wages pai I full bands per mouth is $7 25, with board added. Iu efficiency, labor is reported two per cent, less efficient than last year. The amount of farm sup plies being purchased by farmers this year compared with last is re ported twenty-two per cent, less, and of thit amount-sixty per cent; are purchased ‘on time.' This is the greatest obstacle to profitable farming in Georgia, and it is very gratifying to know that the evil is gradually diminishing."—S»v- auuah News.

B, Lumpkin with a middenriPHN flint, confused the family and embitter ed the surprise of the proud pa rents with the keenest grief. About the time supper was announced, the tube—28 days old—commenc ed fretting, and Mr Lumpkiu hasti ly completed supper that he might give directions for its re'ief. The babe wos given ro her sister in i whose lap the fretting ceased and ! was followed by a deep infantile 1 sigh, which touched the hearts of, tne parents with pity, and yet with! gratitude for its relief, but imagine J their surprise when the fond father on taking the babe from her sis ter discovrired that its relief was caused by death. A thrill of sur prised emotion, made pungent by sudden arief, eeizvd every heart fiiiled every rnitid of the family. The s/ster iu who.-b lap the help less innocent- bad died, though but a child, with a grief which mocks at tear and make-* children though fill and considerate, hastagrid through the darkness of ttfe night to neighbors at a distance in town to announce the sadness.

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.
