The dead lock on the appropriation
bills came from disregard by the House
of the old rule 120. Under this rule,
Barclay says, sit is not in order to pro-
pose an amendment to a general appro-
priation bill which changes existing law"
The rule was intended to cut off the old
vicious habit of injecting Objectionable
legislation into appropriation bills, and
forcing it through on pain Of defeating
the appropriation. The Senate ustains
the rule. The House has reason for de-
string to force change in existing laws
by means of the appropriation bills, and
it set aside the rule. As the rule is now
in the House, there is absolutely no mat
ter of legislation which may not be graft
ed on an appropriation bill, and be forced
through, with the appropriation; or
failing in that, may defeat the appro-
prfatiOn Indefinitely. We hope the SEN
ate will resist to the last all such attempts
to exact laws by dishonest evasion and
trick. The appropriation, instead of be-
| ing made a means of changing existing g
law against the will of one branch of the
legislative body, should be made to con-
form strictly to existing law even where
| the law is not approved. If the law is
disapproVed it should be repealed OF
amended on its own merits, not by using
an appropriation bill as gag for that
purpose. The appropriation bill e1hausts
its capacity in making the most ecOnOmi-
cal provision possible fer carrying out
existing laws.-O. S. Journal.

The Man that Always Wins-The man
who led the desperate charge across the
treacherous morass at Winchester lived to
overcome in-the political arena the Demo-
cratic leaders of Ohio, Allen G. Thurman,
George H. Pendleton, and Governor Allen.
He lived also to become the embodiment
of all the principles opposed to the ffnan-
eial sophistries, the ill-cOncealed dishon-
esty, and the arrant demagogism of which
these leaders were the exponents and the
representatives. His election was tri-
umph of able and cautious leadership, and
of the bold and steadfast championship of
public faith and conscience against the
mischievous intriguers who palfered in a
double sense with these essentials of the
stability of the State Washington Repatb-

A Bomb Shell.-The nomination of
Hayes and Wheeler has fallen like a bomb
shell in the Democratic camp. They read
in those two names the handwriting upon
the wall, and know that they mean the
union of all good citizens against the COM
mon enemy, Democracy, in the pending
campaign. The struggle will be between
Bourbon Democracy with it's rebel allies
its loyal followers on the other. There
will be no disaffected element to weaken
the great party of freedom. On all sides
it is conceded that the ticket selected heals
all differences and unites the party in one
solid column against the common foe

THK Democratic papers are just now
expressing a wonderful deal of sympathy
for Mr.. Bristow, simply because the Re
publican convention did net nominate
him for the Presidency, and our cotem-
porary says that he was 'the only man in
the party that had honesty and pluck
enough to prosecute the rascals.'' Our
Democratic friends need not think that
by their fulsome batteries and hypocrit-
ieal praise of Secretary Bristow, they
can induce him to accept Presidential
nomination from their party. He is too
honest man, and hates political corrup-
! ton with a sovereign contempt; there
fore he could never accept nomination
of any sort from the Democratic party
Bristow supports the nominee of the Gin
cinnati Convention with his whole heart
and soul, and is not to be seduced by the
hypocritical sympathies of party organs
that would, if he had been nominated,
have found their vocabulary of slander
and abuse insufficient to fully express
their hatred of an honest man for the
Presidency.

Recently letters of inquiry have been
received by citizens of this place from in
dividuals in Georgia, asking informa-
ton as to the article below given. We
have before US letters written to the Post
master, County Clerk, and the Sheriff
These letters are written in a spirit of
sincerity. Somebody has imposed upon
the cFedulity of the editor of the paper
from which the article is taken, and in
dividuals have been egregiously hoaxed
by the statement therein made. Here is
the article referred to:
NAN ELEVEN YEARS IN PRISON.
To-day we met in town poor n1aifled
soldier, who has walked all the way from
Ohio, where he has been in prison ever
since Atlanta was taken, in June, 1854,
by Sherman. - go
His name is James Johnson; he ran
away from his parents when only four
teen years of age, entered the army,
where he served as a private, and was
shot through the hip in the fight near
Atlanta, where he was captured. His
wounds have prevented his walking, and
he has been confined in Northern hos
pital, denominated the "Jef Davis, % in
Marion, Ohio. He has written repeated
ly, and SO have the other prisoners, but
no reply ever comes back. He says the
keeper of the hospital, Rev. Stringer, is
interested in keeping them there, and
destroys their letters. The keeper gets
50 a week for every prisoner-and they
are kept as prisoners-al1 allowed no COM
munication with the outer world, and lit
orally isolated from sympathy.
There are yet thirty-three MANNED sol
diers in the hospital; none of them able
| to escape from their loathsome abode. It
is utterly narrowing to listen to the ac-
count of their mode of life. Mr.. john
| son is trying to get to Talladega, to see if
he can find any of his kindred.
We have never heard anything sadder
than this poor mans history, and we
| hope he may, by the aid of our citizens,
be enabled to pay his fare from here to
Talladega, and thus save him from a
long, and to his poor crippled limbs, a
| toilsome Journey
Let those having friends missing, send
to "Jeff Davis Hospital, - Marion county,
Ohio, and see whether the lost may not
be found.-Rozne (Gd.( Batllett7 =
As we will send a copy of this paper to
! the Bulletin office, it is proper to request
that paper to state that there is no foun-
dation whatever for the statements made
in the article. There is no 'tJeff Davis
hospital, or any other kind, in Marion
county, Ohio. The whole story as related

The Democratic papers are unable to
find anything against Governor Hayes's
conduct as a citizen, a military man, a
Congressman or as Governor of the State.
Failing to find anything in any of these
respects, out of which to make political
capital, the last mean resort is to charge
him with being. fool, incompetent to
discharge the duties of the presidential
office; kind of wooden man. This kind
of spirit shows that the party has little
hopes of success against Gov. Hayes, and
their last resort is to -basely underrate his
talent and statemanship. But that pftti-
full resort won't save them.

IL his speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the 18th, Hon. J. S. Savage
declared himself in favor of the repeal
of the specie resumption act, in favor of
Withdrawing all the National Bank cur
reney and issuing Greenbacks to take the
place of bank currency. Here is what he
says about the repeal:
am in favor of the immediate and un-
conditional repeal of that stupendOus fol-
ly of the Republican party known as the
specie-resumption act; and what is the
most surprising thing to my mind is the
fact that, although there is DemocFac
majority in this House, or nearly two
thirds, and petitions and letters have
poured in upon us by the thousand beg
ging and praying for its repeal, it still
stands upon our statute-boOks untouched
even by the action of this House. .
Again, Mr.. Savage says: afe4
FHThe Democracy of Ohio have placed
themselves upon the record in favor of
| the withdrawal of the present National
Bank circulation and the issuing of 1e-
gal tender currency in it's stead. -
If Mr.. S. desires that the National
Bank currency shall be retired, his de-
sire in this particular is likely to be
gratiffed without the repeal of the re-
sumption act; for, under the provisions of
the law, the banks themselves are con-
tracing the circulating medium too rap
idly for the interests of the country al
ready; and that is what the people are
complaining about.

In that most delicate and difficult Ohio
campaign of 1875 Governor Hayes was
prudent without being pusillanimous,
wary without tricKery, and bold without
temerity. He bated not jot of the in
tegrity of his party's record on the treat
nent of the finances, and he went far be-
yond the halting utterances of the State
platform on the question of resumption.
But he never insulted the wavering mass
of doubtful voters by reckless imputations
of motives, and he acted on the principle
that advantages which could not be gain
ed by sober discussion were not worth
gaining at ALL Washington Republic.

The Democratic House of Representa-
tives in Congress has thus far failed to

and the funds will run out on the first of

LoCK;N CONGRESS - e----z
!. The prospect that the mails will stop,
that the salaries of all Legislative, judicial.
and Executive officers viii be discontin-
ued, and the whole Government
blocked on July ], is now very good. 1t
does not seem possible that the billscan be
got through by June 80, and, should they
fail, there is nothing to do but to ''shut up
shop" so,far as the Government is con-
cerned. ea:
That is the way the Democracy under
take to retrench the expenditures of the
Government. If they cannot tack ON some
bill that has no merit of its own in it, to
the general appropriation bill, they vote
against and defeat necessary appropria-
tions.
