the president cannot enjoin that rig

essential to an honest and efficient
execution of the laws. Its revoca-
ton would enable the executive de-
partmeut to exercise the power OF
appointment and removal in accor-
dance with the original designs of
the federal constitution.
The act of March 2, 1867, making
appropriations for the support Of the
army for the year ending June 80,
1868, and for other purposes, contains
provisions which interfere with the
presidents constitutional functions
as commander-in- chief of the army,
and deny to the states of the union
the right to protect themselves by
means of their own militia.
These provisions should be at once
annulled; for, while the first might,
in times of great emergency, serious
ly embarrass the executive in his
efforts to employ and direct the com
mon strength of the nation of the
United States, for its protection and
preservation, the other IS contrary
to the express declaration of the
constitution, that, wellregulated
militia being necessary to the securi--
ty OLA tree state, the right OF the
people to keep and bear arms shall
not be intlingcd. 1t is believed that
the repeal of all such laws would be
accepted By the American people as
at least partial return to the tunda

ATTEMPT AT BuRGLARY.--On the night
of the 18th inst, an attempt was made TO
break into the house of Edward Rix, ESD,
of Royalton. The noise made by the
burglars fortunately aroused the hired
man, who succeeded, without observation
in gaining an outhouse where he kept a
loaded gun, armed with which he returned
to the house in time to see a man open a
back door of the house. He fired, and
two men rushed out and ran towards the
railroad. near by. He pursued and again

Some time after wagon was heard to
drive rapidly by the house, and some little
time after that one # the citizens of
Bethel, five miles distant, heard wagon
stop before his house and some talking
and groaning. Thinking it might be a
sick person being carried from the station,
he paid no particular attention to the mat
ter, but the next morning he picked up at
the place handkerchief soaked with
blood. In all probability the party were
the burglars carrying their wounded com
rade home. No clue has yet been obtained
Of their names or whereabouts.
