TIE prkhidenth veto.
Mr. Flayrs ha* vetoed the army appro
priation hill recently paused by both
branches of Congress, making appropria
tions fr the fiscal year ending .lime 30th.
ISSO. The veto power was exercised by
Mr. Hayes mainly upon the ground that the
ilth clause of the bill prohibited the use of
the army at the polls, and in his message
transmitting the bill to Congress without
his approval he inveighs to a considerable
extent against the propriety of Congress
attaching any other species of legislation
to appropriation bills. Whatever course
Congress may pursue with regard to the
question. there is no concealing the fact
that one of the most serious problems is
prosen tod for solution. In 13(13, for tile
first time In the history of this country,
the nations! Congress passed the bill allow
ing the use of the military authorities at
popular elections. At the time a terrible,
bloody war was convulsing the country.
Everything was paralyzed anti in chaotic
disorder, and as a w ar measure the United
States Congress passed the bill. In the
discussions over the measure at the time,
its most able advocates admitted that it
was only necessary as aw ar measure, but
that it would be highly inexpedient in time
of peace. Since then the odious law —one
fatal to liberty and contrary to the princi
ples of our free system of government —
one. too, that was at the time of its pass
age admitted tube too odious for peaceful
times—has been retained on the statute
books. Elections have been held amidst
the glittering of bayonets and under the
overawing inllnencos of an armed soldiery.
Tiie war billows have subsided, the dis
cord between contending States has been
healed, peace in all its lovlitiess haa re
turned to bless our land, law and order in
all its venerated majesty prevails to the
fullest extent, and why continue the bar
barous relic? Why not allow the sacred
precincts of the polls where the sacred
liberties of our countrymen are to be pass
ed upon to be as free from contaminating!
influences and undue force as the spotless
temple of Diana? A fraudulent President
who owes his tenure of ollico to the intimi
dation of the bayonet* pays homage to the
authority that stifled the voice of Ameri
can freemen, and for party purposes refuses
to allow the representatives ot the people
ui Congress to wipe out tlie dangerous
bane that may again dominate over the
beilat box, by interposing a veto. The
issue is being made up. The refusal to
grant to the people of this country’ the
right to free elections w ill rest on the Re
publican party, which has spoken through
their chief organ. Mr. Hayes. W hen the
pi and struggle of ISS<I shall come, not only
Will the fraud of 1576 plead in trumpet
tones, hut the dying, gasping agony of a
falling dynasty will cry out against it in
having sought to perpetuate its power by
trying to keep the free voters of this coun
try under the ty rnnnic oppression of armed
•oldiery at the polls.
TIIL COX TKUL.
The greatest criminal trial in the judicial
history of Georgia is just drawing to a
close in Atlanta. We allude to the trial
f£d ward Co*, under indict incut charging
tliiui with the murder of Col. Alston. A
large and brilliant array of counsel were
retained on both khloh. .Judge Hopkins is
lending counsel for the State, and General
Gartrell occupying a similar position among
the defendant's counsel. The evidence
closed on Saturday last, and on Monday
the argument commenced. Doubtless by
■tlii* tune the trial is ended. The following
counsel addressed the jury : Judge Twiggs.
Solicitor Hill and Judge Hopkins for the
State; ('ids. Billups, Candler and Gen.
Gartrell. for the defense.
MB. -Al'E PHEW LETTER
Below wo present to our readers tbeful!
text of Mr. Stephens' letter to 1/on. E. P.
Howell, one of the odltors'bf (lw Ntkinla
Constitution. It will he seen that the
views therein expressed are in full keeping
with the wise and conservative statesman
ship of Georgia's gifted son;
Washington l>. <C\. M-try 2. ISTU.
To lion. Evnn I’. Howell, Editor of The
Constitution :
{Dear Srrt 'l'here wns quite an animat
ed discussion in the House caucus yester
day evening. A strong feeling was mani
fested on the part of several memU-. sU.
commit the party, in view of the vlo. to
the position of standing by the tunny hill
as it went to the President and adjourning
without passing any other appropriation
iiilla. Inking it for granted that the Presi
dent would for like reasons vote the legis
lative and judicial
cause of the political legislation incorpo
rated as riders upon That. Against these
views and policies i entered tn urgent pro
test. 1 niaml.lined tliat. while liw House
had a juried constitutional right, u iiltwut
a violation of principle or custout. to xut
such riders upon the appropriation hrlls.
yet the President had an equal coimfkni
•tionn! riglit to interpose his veto against
them if he saw tit for any reason u>.su>sittce
the responsibility of doing svt„ I would
not say that a ease might not wise vvhejie
it might be the duty of Congress to
withhold the appropriations forihehoyßif.
when a bill appropriating money therefor,
should designate the usage nuU purposes
/or which it should be applied. Mioiiid be
vetoed by the President, because of such
designated purposes ; but such a case has
' not yet arisen.
Without discussing the merits of the veto
message, it clearly apjtcars from it that he
does not disagree with Congress upon the
essential point of keeping troops from the
polls to control elections. He seems to
have placed his veto chiefly upon the ground
that the language of the sixth section of
the bill restrains and puts r. penalty on
civil eft>rrs for ke*pij'g the rea—. tr e*e
cultng legal criminal process at the polls.
This construction I thought strained. Ido
not think the language susceptible of such
contraction, nor do I think Congress in
tended any such. Still, as the President
has placed his veto on such a construction.
Congress can easily supply a remedy to
that.
As to the legislative and judicial bills, F
thought, in no event, nor under any cih
Cumstances, could Congress adjourn w ith
out making the necessary appropriations
because or a veto on accouht of tne riders
of the sort now put upon them. Ilritisli
precedents are not entirely pertinent and
applicable to this country in the matter of
withholding supplier. That is a monarchy.
The army, and the judges, and all the otH
cers of the administration are but instru
ments of the crown.
The ciowo asks the commons for money
to support them. When great grievances
are complained of. therefore, which the
crown w ill not assent to relieve, the com
mons may properly refuse, and often have
refused supplies until the grievances are
redressed.
Hot ours is a representative government,
w here the people are sovereign and govern
themselves through those constitutional
channels established by a written organic
law. In this organic law of the federal
government the exercise of the sovereign
powers within their proper and limited
spheres i delegated to three distinct, sepa
rate an 1 independent departments. These
arc the legislative, the judicial and the ex
ecutive departments. The proper mode,
therefore, under our system of obtaining
redress of grievances is through these con
stitutional channels of Instrumentalities,
and. they failing, then an appeal to the
people themselves. These three co-equal
and co-ordinate departments in the proper
workings of the system should not be al
lowed to encroach upon each other, and
the right of the President, therefore, to ex
ercise the veto power as prescribed in the
Constitution should he as free from assault
as the right of Congress to perform any ol
their constitutional functions. Congress
ill this ease. 1 maintain, lias done its duty
in an attempt to redress a great grievance.
The President, in the exercise of his con
stitutional power, lias seen fit to veto it.
The question is one that allows no appeal
to tlie judiciary or the other co-ordinate
departments of the government.
The issue, therelore. if these differences
cannot be properly adjusted between Con
gress and the President, must he decided
by the people as the last resort fur a peace
ful redress of grievances at the ballot-box,
after a thorough understanding of the ques
tions involved, as they shall be discussed
by an enlightened press and patriotic
speakers on tlie hustings. 1 gave the opin
ion to the caucus, and now repeat that it
would be Utterly wrong for Congress to
lail to appropriate money to support the
judiciary, the other co-ordinate department
ol the government, to sav nothing of other
olficers. and maintain tim rdmiiiistrstjon
of the laws which the Constitution makes
it our duty to do. because the President
may veto riders of this sort. The system
could never be liui inoniously w orked under
such a policy.
Mr. Emory Speer followed by enforcing
the same view in a very able and eloquent
speech, which made a 'Wp impression and
produced a decided effect, lie was highly
complimented by some of the older and
leading members of Congress. Mr. Till
man. of South C arolina, advocated similar
views in a strong and effective speech.
The result was. no proposition as submit
ted to commit the porty as indicated, hut
the whole question was referred toa future
joint caucus of the Senate and House.
Yours truly,

Atlnuln A Charlotte Alr-I.ln* Railway.
Having had occasion recently to take a
rule over this road, it being the point of
connection by the Klhertnn Air-Line for
the trad# of our county, it may be of in
terest to yonr renders to have some little
description of the same.
’When (his road first commenced running
some five or six years ago. the country
through which it traversed was nearly alto
gether one vast and howling wilderness.
Now it is built up for its entire length by
beautiful villages and sonic large cities,
none of them being more than ten miles
apart for its whole length of 2'io miles.
There are many places of interest along
the line, where the tourist a> and invalid in
the summer time seek recreation and re
pose. The grenl trouble is tiiat there are
not sufficient hotels and accomodations
for all that seek the benefits of ibis climate
for that purpose. In the past few years,
our more wealthy people of Georgia and
•Soulhern States have sought these moun
tain resorts in preference to the springs of
Virginia and Northern resorts. East .sum
mer every place along this railroad where,
there was any accomodation was filled to
overflowing with guests. This is an in
viting field for capital, anil there is no ser
tmn where an investment can be more profit
ably made than in building increased ac
comodations in the shape of hotels and
homes for those who visit these places.
There has also during the past winter
been n considerable number of emigrants
in the neighborhood of Mt. Airy, quite n
colony from Switzerland having settled
here and engaged in agricultural pursuits.
They preferred this mountain locality, it
being the most adapted to their wants by
reason of the soil, mountains and climato
being as near as possible that of their na
tive land.
The management of this great railroad
have labored hard to foster the various in- i
terestsalong the line, and while the fruits j
of their labors have been slow they now
ale surely coining in. and in a few yeans
along this line must necessarily be one of
the grandest countries in the world.
The Elberton Air-Line Railroad has
already done considerable towards build
ing up our countv. and with the building
and completion of the projected branch to
Hartwell it will place Hart county as one
of the in this grand old coui
nionwodUh. both in population a well as
in wylHth and prosperity, and our town
will soon he one of the most flourishing.
The business connections that our peo
ple have had with the Air-Line Road all
show conclusively that the management j
are using all the diligence in their power to
build up her local interests and to let all
the people along the line feel that where
they make the same known their every
want and every interest they may have,
are met with cordial efforts "to encourage
mid promote the same. All that is neces
sary for Hart county is to build her branch
railroad to Howersville. and the railroad
facilities she will get thereby will be a
heritage you will leave to your children
and generations yet to come will rise up
and call you blessed. K.
Here's to Hie One Hint Ilona the Nliunl
Spray at UH I.ast Week :
I like spray, and more especially do I
like the Shoal Creek spray ; but the little
dab that •* Amicus” cast in the light of
Thk Sun last week was about the thinnest
that I ever beheld. We are all aware that
sprav is very thin, hut I think that •• Ami
ens ” could have selected a better heading
for his items m your last issue, by putting it
*• Shoal Creek’Mist.” for it was entirely
too thin for spray. The spray-dinger, or
more appropriately, the mist-scatterer.
wants to know if 1 intended to convey the
idea that the debating at Shoal Cteek cor
responded with my orthography, and was
it a poke at them ? or was 1. in my weak
and stammering manner, making mv first
effort at complimenting ? Perhaps if I had
written my communication in the African
dialect, ••Amicus” would have under
stood it. Although lie denies living in Af
rica. lie confesses that lie uses negro
chat a< food for laughter for the flat-noses,
Ac. We differ in that respect—l write for
the amusement of the intelligent and re
fined—people who can distinguish a com
pliment from a poke. Therefore, if a flat
nose or a flat-head, as lie calls them, gets
offended at my writings, they may know
that the communications arc not intended
to offend them, but to amuse higher culti
vated people. Ido not think that any of
the gentlemen present at the debate, spok
en of in my recent article, can be offended
at anything in my former communication.
If there are any, T do here apologize to
them, for it was not mv intention to bur
lesque or criticise the debate, for I enjoyed
the speaking, and hope to be present at
another ere long, and so stated in my for
mer article. Ginx.

Improvements seem to be th e orler of
the day in Dowersville.
As some of our exchanges do not wish
to publish anything of an advertising ua
ture written in the interest of Dowersville
or any of its leading business houses. 1
thought 1 would see how The Sun stooi
upon the subject—if it was in eclipse o
not. I will say as an introduction to un
future correspondence to your most valua
ble paper, that if you treat my items as
some have done—if you take from or add
to what suits you and leave out what 1
wish inserted." I will hunt up all the back
numbers of The Sun that 1 have been
tiling for future generations yet unborn to
read and burn them. I'll tear from the
sacred pages of my Scrap-book every select
piece of prose and poetry that I've clipped
from its columns, and thereby destroy one
of the most valuable works to be found in
the select library of one of the great men
of the future, so-called.
Dowersville continues to move grandly
on. while other places are becoming dull.
The guano trade, as was looked tor. lias
about closed. Dowersville can claim to
have sold more of it than any other place
on the E. A. L. R. R.. including its term
inus, and we have sold more provisions
than all the others put together. Consult
the general freight books for evidence.
E. B. Benson & Cos are doing a good and
safe business, and I would just here re
mark. if this should meet the eyes of any
of Bowersville's future visitors who have
as yet not made the acquaintance of the
above firm, that a call is all that is needed
to make them future customers to the
house. They will he treated in such a
manner that they will go no where else in
the future. An introduction to their house
will only prove a prelude to a future happy
business connection. E. B. Benson has
just returned from market the second time,
buying one of the best selected stocks of
goods ever brought to N. E. Georgia, and
which they will sell at rnilrond prices.
Bowersville as a natural consequence is
not only now. but is destined to become
the chief shipping point on the railroad.
Not only will Hart county, her mother fos
ter and nourish her. but old Franklin, with
all its boasted generosity and fatherly de
votion, will supply her with the bulk of
its productions. Many of the best citi
zens of old Franklin have already bought
lots, and expect to improve them this sum
mer. It was no small pleasure to ve local
a few da vs ago. while visiting old Oarnes
ville. to hear her citizens speak so favora
bly of our little city and its business
bouses. M. M. Johnson has his new ho
tel finished and his doors thrown wide
open. He aiso has a splendid line of se
lect goods which he will sell cheap.
\Y. B. Weaver lias in operation one of
the best boarding houses and eating saloons
to be found in the State. He seems to
know just what everybody loves to cat. at
least lio one ever enters his dining room
without coming out ‘with a Satvstien appe
tite, a smiling countenance, and only mi
nus 25 cents.’ Any one who would not
willingly pav 25 cents three times a day
for such meals as ho furnishes, ought to bo
fed on young owls. I would advise all
who visit this place to give linn a call.
Ye local stays with him. and you know if
he is satisfied no otic need entertain any
fears.
Linder & Johnson continue to turn out
good lumhei at cheap figures.
B. Bowers, our polite railroad agent, is
pushing ahead his house with a vim.
J. C. Adair, of Carnesville. has let the
contract to finish his house by August Ist.
The laying of a foundation for a huge
business house for T. It. Cheek, on the
corner of Beecher and Tilton streets, will
shortly commence. J. M. C. Bagwell, of
Carnesville. business house on public
square. IS. G. Childs is getting lumber
ready for store-house. E. 15. Benson's
hands working on his stately mansion, and
when completed will add greatly to the
appearance of that part of town. Ye local
would commenca his hall, but 1 am wait
