or Spotted Tail agencies, with their
families, since the fight with Crazy
Horse on Powder rivi-r. A few people
went to bring in their own people and
some of them returned accompanied hy
northern Sioux. The Cheyennes at the
Red Cloud agency are alarmed and talk
of going south. The indications a:o that
tho thrashing given Crazy Horse has
affected the Ogullallos so favorably that
they will be likely to keep quiet.
Major Gordon is of the opiniou that
three hundred Ogallallos would go with
an expeditioa against the northern Sioux,
if they were allowed fo keep what they
caotured. The northern Sionx have
ttolen their stock lately. The Indians
at the agency are remarkably docile.
A few miners have been killed near
the Hills lately.

Milford, Ind, April 19.—A $50 000

Washington, April 19.—To the Senate
of the United States: Herewith I re
turn Senate bill number 172, entitled an
act fixing the salary of the President of
the United States, without my approval.
I am constrained to tbi3 course from a
sense of duty to my successors in office,
to myself and to what is due to the dig
nity of the position of Chief Magistrate
of a nation of more than 40,000,000 of
people. When the sala y of the Presi
dent of the United States was fixed by
the Constitntion at $25,000 per annnm,
wo were a nation ol but 3,000,000 of
people, poor from a long and
haustive war, without commerce
manufactories, with but fewer wants
and those cheaply supplied. The salary
mast then have been deemed small for
the responsibilities and dignity of the po
sition, but justifiably so from the impov
erished condition of the treasury and the
simplicity it was desired to cultivate in
tho Republic. The salary of Congress
men under the Constitution'was first fixed
at $6 per day, for the time actually in
session, an average of about 120 days to
each session, or $720 per year, or less than
one-thirtieth of the salary of the Presi
dent. Congress has legislated upon their
own salaries from time to time until fin
ally it reached $5,000 per annum, or one-
fi th that of the President before the sal
ary of tho latter was increased. No one
having a knowledge of the cost of living
at the national capital will contend that
the prt sent salary of Congressmen is too
high, unless it is the intention to mak •
the office one entirely of honor, when the
stiary should be abe i-bei—a proposition
repugnant to our Rqmulican ideas and
institutions.
I do not believe the < itizens of this Re
public desire their public servants to
serve them •ithout a fair compensation
for their services Twenty five thousand
dollars does not defray the expenses of
the Executive for one year, or has not, in
my experience. It is now one fifth in
value to what it was when fixed by the
Constitution. In supplying demands
and wants, having no personal interest
in this matter, I have felt myself free to
return this bill to the House, in which it
originated, with tny objections, believing
that in doing so I meet the wishes and
judgment of the great majority of those
who indirectly pay all the salaries and
other expenses of the Government.

Pakis, April 19.-A report is current
that the United States intends to annex
Hayti.
The Dt-midston of the Ministry.
Tnis question is assuming much prom
inence, especially in Presbyterian circles.
East Hanover Presbjtery has recently
passed the following memorial, which
wa- prc-tented by Rev. Dr. Brown:
Resolved, That the Presbytery of East
Hanover does hereby memorialize the
General Assembly to send down to the
presbyteries, in such form as may.be
judged proper, an overture grantibg ex
pross authority, by constitutional amend
ment, to tbe presbyteries in certain cases
to divest a minister of the gospel of his
office without censure.
We find also in tbe Presbyterian Review
fer April an elaborate article on the
same subject, in support of the affirma
tive of the proposition. Tne writer
states tno caso thus: " It is perfectly
notorious that men are ordained to the
work of the ministry who discover, in the
course of time, that they have mistaken
their calling, and in this unwelcome
conclusion tbey have the concurrence of
the congregations of God’s people, and
the Presbytery.
They have the same sort of evidence,
and the eatno degree of evidence, that
they hove not been c&tledof God, as they
at first supposed they had that they were
called Some -of this ui happy class feel
grievously oppressed by their ordination
engagements, which they have no ability
to meet, and desire to be released, to lay
aside the title and privileges of the min
istry of the Word, as well as its duties.
They plead, and with great plausibility
at least, that a Christian man ought to
attempt to do no work in which he can
not maintain a good conscience beforo
God and man j tnat in such a work as
that of tbe Gospel ministry, it is impossi
ble to be useful or to enjoy any comfort,
if a man’s conscience is constantly ac
cusing him -of exercising an authority
which tho Head of the Church has not
given him.
And, again, if a man “is called to
preach aud rale, the church i9 called to
be preached to and to be ruled; and sho is
at least as good a judge of the question
of her calling as the man is of his. Sup
pose that they differ in judgment, ther,
there is either a dead-lock in tbe ma
chinery, or the church surrenders the
liberty wherewith tho Saviour has made
her free, and becomes the slave of men
• owe « • • i
Where tho minister not only consents
to be relegated to tho status ot a private
member of the church, but even requests
it, tnere is no difficulty in ihe case, if he
has the concurrence of the church in his
judgment that he has not been called, or
ia no longer called, of Christ to the
work.”
This is a question of great importance,
and the overture on the subject to the
General Assembly, which meets in May
at Savannah, will call forth a very inter
esting discussion.
From a cursory investigation wo are
inclined to think that tho minister should
be permitted to lay down hia office if ho
honestly believes that he has not been
called cf God, and is convinced that his
labors are not owned and blessed to the
salvation of his fellow men. Who ia to
decide the question but tbe individual
himself, in the light of his conscience
and in view of tho tremendous responsi
bilities involved ?

Shocking Accident.
Special to the Richmond Dispatch.
Nobfolk, April 15.—A dreadful catas
trophe occurred at the Portsmouth wood
dock this morning. For several days the
wreckers have been engaged in taking up
from Craney Island bend the remains of
the famous Confederate iron clad Merri-
mac, and amongst tho debris was a quan
tity of loaded spherical and cylindrical
shell that went down with that formida
ble ship fourteen years ago. This ma
terial is usually brought to Portsmouth
aud deposited in the warehouse. Yester
day the wreckers brought up a quantity
of shell, and this morning commenced
moving it to the warehouse. The move
ment attracted the attention of a large
number of lightermen. One of them—
James Bass—proposed to examine the
condition of the powder in the shell.
He selected a lound nine inch missile,
having the fuse and cap detached, and
emptied a portion of tho powder on the
ground in a train about twelve inches
long. He then deliberately struck a
match and fired the train. The effect was
perfectly terrific, producing the wildest
consternation aud jarring the neighbor
hood for a half-mile around with the
stunning of a field-mortar, while frag
ments of the shell were scattered in dif
ferent directions a dozen blocks away.
When the smoke cleared away two ne
groes were found dead—James Bass with
one half of his neck carried away on the
left side, and Benjamin Boverly with an
enormous hole torn through his right
breast- Zichariah Perkins was whirled
against the bouse by the concussion, and
bad his face and neck cut by flying debris;
while Lewis Johnson, fifty yards away,
was thrown down considerably stunned.
In a few moments people poured down
to the wharf to witness the horrible spec
tacle, until thedock was literally crowded.
An examination of the results of the
explosion, aside from the sanguinary hor
ror. was startling; and the wonder is
that more lives were not lost.
A fragment of the shell swept into the
crowd of people in the fish market, and
strange to say, only tore down an awning.
Another piece was driven through the
office of the Seaboard and Roanoke rail
road depot, and in different parts of the
city and across the river houses were
struck.
The dead were disposed of by the cor
oner, a d the wounded by tbe doctors.
A Correction.
The Fort Valley Mirror says:
Seventeen millions of red bugs »ill fce
brought away from Central City Park at
Macon during the month of May.
There are no apprehensions with re
gard to tbe red bugs, but the Mayor has
ordered a special police force to look after
the hippopotamuses, rhinocerusesana ele
phantesses for fear some one will slip a
few dozen of them off in their vest pock
ets. It is so pleasant to see them gam
boling on the lawns.
