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, Alexander IF.

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.

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."

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.

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.
