The Boston Globe, says: “The
democratic position is as impregna

they stand upon the supremacy of

count, without the influence of Fede
ral bayonets, political chicanery or
partisan rascalty. They have only
to stand firmly by their principles to
—them trmmuh with the people, it
s *>Articular form
Mr. Hayes’ Second Veto —Tlie 1>
sue Joiued.
On Saturday last Mr. Hayes re
turned to the house of representa
tives the act to prohibit military in
terferen ) at elections with his objec
tions thereto. When the army ap
propriation bill was vetoed, the
leading objec ion to the measure and
the one most elaborately argued by
the de facto President, was the sixth
section, wh’ch contained provisions
similar to thode of the act vetoed on
Saturday as a sej. ' at3 measu-e.
The objections then urged were not
so much to the measure itself, rs to
the practice of attaching political
legislation, as riders, to appropi.a
tion bills. And while Mr. Hayes ad
mitted that this had been the prac
tice of political parties for sixty
yearr, si'll he insisted that the ten
dency of such legislation was vwong
and should be abandoned. This
portion of the acting executive pre
sented to the democratic majority of
congress the alternative of adjourni
ng and leaving the army without
provsion for its support, or of c in
forming its action to his \iews.
After a conference of the members
of the two houses it was decided to
incorporate the provisions tf the
sixth sec f: on, prohibiting nr'ituiy
iuterfe: mce at elections into a s< pa
rate bill and thus s cure the repeal
of the obnox'ous law and then m ke
provisions for the support of the
army.
From the tone of his f rst veto
message it was not believed that Mr.
Hayes would block the repeal of a
law so object’onable in feature and
so repugnant to the spint of f -ee
institutions. In th’s however < in
gress and the countiy arc disap
pointed, for the de facto President
when driven to the wp’l makes the
startling announcement that this is
a “Nation” and his argument when
stripped of its sophistry is that the
national authority is paramount to
that of the States even in the con
duct of elections, and that the mili
tary may be used to enforce this
authority. The gravamen of Mr.
Hayes’ objections and h : s position
may be gathered from this para
graph:
“No pre-e ;Jent has been found in
any previous legislation, and no suf
ficient rep sou given for d-scrimiu
lion in I'ivor of State against nation
al authority which this bill contains.
Under the sweeping terms of the
bill, the national goveiament is ef
fectup’ly shut out out from the
exerc'se of the right and from the
discharge of the imperative duty to
use its whole executive power when
6ver and wherever required for the
enforemeut of its laws at plac es and
times where and when its elections
are held. The employment of its
organized armed forces for any such
purpose would be an offense against
law, unless called for by, and there
fore upon permission of, the authori
ties of the State in which the occa
sion arises. What is this but the
substitution of the discretion of the
State government for the discretion
of the government of the United
States as to the performance of its
own duties. In my judgment this is
an abandonment of its obligations by
the national government, a subordi
nation of national authority, end an
intrusion of State supervision over
national duties, which amounts in
spirit and tendency to State supre
macy.”
That is, the repeal of the law giv
ing the general government the au
thority to control elections in the
States through the military arm, is
a check to the centralizing tenden
cies of the government and a step in
return to the practices in the early
and better days of the republic.
From the very organization of the
government it has always been un
derstood that members of congress
were the representatives of the sev
eral States and were to be elected
by the people thereof in their own
way, free from the dictation or con
trol of the general government, and
that the President, himself, was not
the President of a nation but of the
United States.
On this subject the constitution of
the United States is too clear to ad
mit of doubt or misconstruction. It
declares distinctly that “the house
of representatives shall be composed
of members chosen eveiy second year
by the people of the several States,”
and that the Senate “shall be com
posed of two Senators from each
State chosen by the legislature there
of.” And further the same instru
ment gives to the States the right to
determ ; ne the times, places and man
ner of holding elections for senators
and representatives.” With these
plain declarations of the organic
law, it is not strange that the found
ers of the government regarded
congressional as much State elections
as any others. And this distinction
must be maintained or the spirit of
our institutions will be subverted
and liberty destroyed. If the doc
trine of Mr. Hayes is to be carried
out and the control of the elections
be transferred from the several States
to the executive of the “Nation” to
be supervised and directed by the
army, then the States become mere
municipalities and the general gov
ernment a centralized military des
potism. The issue is distinctly made
and it is one between the civil and
the military, ballots and bayonets,
liberty and despotism.
The Cincinnati Post has a pleas
ant allusion to our old friend, Col. A
E. Jones. We are glad to know that
the Col. is still on deck. By the way,
as there seem to be no offers for the
office, why can’t the Col be made
Mayor, we mean Governor of O bio.
California’s New Constitution.
The new constitution recently
adopted by the people of California
is certainly a rare document of its
kind. As an organic law, many of
provisions are in direct conflict with
well settled forms of government. It
revolutionizes all the previously es
tablished relations of property. It
aims to expel the Chinese by making
their employment a punitive offense.
It alters tie jury system, by substi
tuting the Scotch plan for the En
glish. It restricts the legislature,
the representatives of the people, to
a line of particular actions, w ithin
the radius of a limited circle. It
makes war upon ‘corporations’ of a’ 1
sorts, and holds the associative prin
ciple in abhorrence as the fountain
of all the evds of society. It remod
els the State judicial./, and attempts
to measure the efficiency of decis
ons by the degree of haste with
which they ere to be rendered. As
for the transportation interests, it
prohibits these c ompanies . om is
suing ’ee passes, and they can only
utter excursion and commutation
tickets under especial regulations.
It ordains that ‘no discrimination in
charges or faefl'ties for transporta
tion shall be made by any railroad
or other transportation company be
tween places or persons, or in the
facilities for the transportation of
the same classfs of freight or pas
sengers withm the Si ite, or coming
from or going to any other State. Per
sons and property transported over
any railroad, or by any other trans
portation company or ’nd’vidual,
shall be delivered at any station,
landing, or port, at charges not ex
ceed'ng the charges for the trans
portation of persons or property of
the same class,in the same direction,
port or landing. A State board ot
railroad commissioners is provided
for to enforce these regulations, and
they are given autocratic powers.
They may send for persons and pa
pers, administer oaths, take testimo
ny, and punish for contempt in the
same manner as courts of record,
and may call upon the regular courts
to enforce their decisions. The reg u
lations of this new constitution in
regard to taxation are upon the in
finitesimal plan— every separate ob
ject is sought to be taxed, -'n the
place of a general and rational plan
of taxation; ‘fiar,’ property is as
sumed to bo one of the sources of
revenue, aud, in fact, this instrument
flies in the face of eveiy precedent
which has hitherto been regarded in
the construction of organic laws for
the States.
The Kind They Are.
In an article last week about the
Okolona Southern Stales it will bo re
membered that we were so charita
ble as to give them credit for sin
cerity but condemned their judge
ment. Since writing that article the
following letter wbmh has been se
cured and published by the Colurn
(Ohio) Democrat explains matters a
little, and changes the aspect of af
fairs considerably:
Office of the Southern States, Oko
lona, Miss., April 30, 1879.
Gen. J. S. Robinson: The papers
have been sent agreeable to instruc
tions. The points are made red-hot
this week, and all of them will hit
hard. It is advisable to have them
as extensively copied as possible.
We will mark them for our Northern
exchanges.
Congressman Frye regards it as a
great success. We will give them
hell according to the extent of the
circulation. The larger the sub
scription list the louder the thunder.
Yours with respect,
Will H. Kern an.
The General Robinson alluded to
is chairman of the republican State
central committee of Ohio, and Frye
is the man who has been at so much
pains to introduce the Stales to the
attention of cougress. The whole
programme is made plain, and the
true inwardness of the fiery, un
tamed Southerner,” late Ohio carpet
bagger is shown up in a light that
makes him and his republican abet
tors too peurile to excite even con
tempt.
The vote in fayor of the constitu
tion in California, says the Balti
more Sun, was chiefly got from the
agricultural sections, which proves
that the land question in that State
is the real grievance of the people.
The drawback to agriculture in Cali
fornia has all along been the ranche
system of farming. The land is
chiefly held in large tracts, under the
old Spanish grants, bought up by a
veiy few thrifty men very cheaply
when the State was first annexed,
and before the great tide of imrni
gration had set in, in consequence
of the gold discoveries. These gi
gantic holdings are measured by the
square mile rather than by the acre,
and they not only prevent men with
small capital from securing home
steads of their own, but they result
in a shiftless and unproductive style
of farming which is detrimental to
the best interests of the State.
Why, after all, brethren, it is the
old issue of federalism against State
rights. What better issue do tl e
democrats want ? Since the issue
was formulated eighty years ago the
centralists never wen an henest vic
tory at the polls. Let the procession
move. — At. Con.
If the present congress meets the
demands of the country it will le
move the duty on quinine.
