WASHINGTON.
Veto.


WASHINGTON, July 20.-The President
vetoed the bill amending the postofice laws
tor the reason that mistake in the title
and enacting clause renders imperative its
provisions in relation to straw bids. But
for this, the Postmaster General says, the
bill would have been very valuable in
breaking up the vicious systems.

Hon. William A. Wheeler's Letter of
Acceptance.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Mr. Wheeler in
his letter Of acceptance quotes his report to
Congress on Southern relations, saying his
views remain unchanged. Regarding
money and schools and reform, he says:
The Just obligations to public creditors,
created when the government was in the
throes of threatened dissolution, and as an
indispensable concitiOn of its salvation
guaranteed by the lives and blood Of thou
sands of it's brave defenders, are to be kept
with religious faith, as are all the pledges
subsidiary thereto and cOnformatOry there
of. In my .judgmen the pledge of Congress
of January IA, 1875, for the redemption
is the plighted faith of the nation, and ma
| tional honor and justice to the people,
whose permanent welfare and prosperity
are dependent upon true money as the
basis of their pecuniary transactions, all
demand the scrupulous observance OF this
pledge, and it is the duty OF Congress to
supplement it with such legislation as shall
be necessary for its strict fulfllment. In
| our system Of government intelligence must
give safety and value to the ballot, hence
the common schools of the land
should be preserved in all their vigor,
while in accordance with the spirit
of the constitution, they and all their in
dorsements should be secured by every
possible and proper guarantee against
every form of sectarian influence or con-
troll. There shoulds be the strictest econ
omy in the expenditures of the government,
consistent with it's effective administration,
and all unnecessary Offices should be abol-
1shed; offices should be conferred only upon
the basis Of high character and particular
fitness, and should be administered only as
public trusts and not for private advan-
tage.

proportion as this race pride reflects itself
in the womanhood of the emancipated race.
just in proportion will this womanhood
grow in moral tone, in moral self-respe ct,
and in all which constitutes true, digni1ied,
womanly character.
With these facts before us we can COM
prehend somewhat the delicacy Of the
questions which lie before the nation under
the era Of moral reconstruction upon
which we are now entering. We can cer-
tainly understand the utter impossibility Of
dealing properly with these questions un-
der Confederate Democratic auspices. A
Confederate Democratic restoration would
be as harmful to the North as to the South,
unless wiser and better men than this party
has yet produced are selected as its leaders.

Democratic Rome HOWIs.

8 A Washington dispatch of the eighteenth
instant, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, handlei
the Confederate Brigadier of Mississippi
without gloves. 1t says:
Lamar, of Mississippi, the gilt-edged blow
Z hard, called his caucus together tonight fol
the purpose of cutting Tie throat of the
Democratic party, and insuring the defeat
of the Democratic ticket. The object of the
caucus of the Democratic members was to
consider several matters relating to the ap.
preparation bill. After this was settled,
Sheakley, of Pennsylvania, offered q resO-
luton, couched in the language of the st.
Louis platform, for the repeal of the re.
sumption act. Considerable excitement
prevailed.
Lamar arose from the chair and announced
chat he had convened this caucus for the
purpose Of considering that question. At
this stage much excitement prevailed, AMI
the air was filled with motions. Hurd
moved to lay the motion on the table. The
motion was made to adjourn, which was
lost. Walling, of Ohio and other members
made strong speeches, calling on the caucus
to stand by the action of the St. Louis con-
Fention. Lamar left the chair and went to
Atkins, of Tennessee, and Springer, of Illi-
Dois, both greenback men, and promised
ehem if they would vote for an adjournment
Do WOulu Gall Lno caucus TO consider the
question at an early day, and they voted to
tdjourn, and aided in the triumph of the
bard money men. Ohio men made Rome
bowl, but were impotent to accomplish
anything, but will see that Lamar keeps his
pledge to call the caucus at an early day to
consider the question.
The same dispatch also refers to Louis
lana statesman who, it appears, has asked
the advice of sergeant-at-arms regarding
the effect of the repeal Of the resumption
elause on the Ohio election. The needs of
the country are not looked to SO much as
Ore the needs of the Democratic party. If
Gr. Gibson yields to the demands of the
Hendricks and the soft money branch of
bis party he will run against Tilden and the
lard end of the ticket, and there he is be.
(ween two factions, with good chance of
Psing his head in the muddle. The cor
respondent says:
II Gibson, of Louisiana, member of the
banking and Currency Committee, called
Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson to day, and
ked him if the repeal OF the resumption
ause OF the Sherman act would aid the
Xemocrats in the coming contest in Ohio
Thompson informed Gibson that it would
ave decided and favorable effect in the
october election for the Democrats, It NAV
Gibson is coming to his senses.

past four this afternoon and capslzed. Com
mOdOre Garner, his wife and party of

Hunters Point.
Among those saved were Edith May, L.
B. Montant, Gardner G. Rowland, J. S.

Another report says: Frost Thorne,
brother of Mrs. Garner, and the cabin boy,
were also lost. The yacht has been towed
to the beacon, where the bodies of the Com
modore and his wife can be seen in the
cabin locked in each others arms. At last
advices, owing to certain Obstructions, the
bodies could not be reached

POLITICAL NOTES.

@ Thursday, July 20, 1876, may be marke'
as day that developed unfathomable in
banity among Democratic ward bummerf
The day aforesaid was set apart for tn
Several ward clubs to elect delegates to g
10 Baton Rouge for the purpose of nomi
Il hating somebody who will strive to b
y Governor of Louisiana during the mex
& Jour years. From the rising of the sun IN
Bill long after the going down of the sam
hard fsted men, many of them of the crol
hair quality, busted themselves more dill
gently than if saving wood or engaged il
5other legitimate occupation. Why they
were go untiring in their task may MOI
+. be explained easily, especially wher
1t is remembered that a majority
hi this class will not toll toe
willingly when it is necessary to earn
bread for themselves or families. Although
khere has been something of cry for re.
form and for good men in office, the silk
Stcckirg, kid glove gentry did not freely
walk up to the polls and drop tickets into
India rubber ballot boxes; indeed, some OF
that ilk who really desired to drop in slugs
or their friends timidly drew back on see
ng the Sioux on the war path. Those gen
blemen who denominate themselves con-
ervatives were willing in spirit, but slight
y weak in flesh, if not in'numbers; they
appeared to be waiting to see what would
turn up.
4 All the central wards had two, three or
Jour polls or tickets, and the usual lodges
were played to secure this or that
man. Party spirit ran high in some places,
but it did not pan out richer than bloody
nose or two; however, the battle is not over
yet, and if the results Of yesterday g election
do not satisfy certain strong element it is
stolerably sure that another election will be
called Immediately after the Baton Rouge
nominations are announced. The loftier
class of Democrats are far from satisfied
with the manner the campaign has thus far
been managed; they have been crowded
down and out by persons who have little
more than q bare living at stake.
In the second ward, for instance, there
was decided bolt, headed by such citizens
as Messrs. T. Devereaux, j. A. Shakespeare,
Archie Mitchell, Dug M. Fitzpatrick, DR..
Chopin and others, who advertise that they
were "retused an efficient representation in
the commits sioners and clerks of election"
and they invited Democrats who had been
deprived of an opportunity to register on
the ward books to join them at an inde-
pendent poll.
In the fourth ward there was trouble in
the camp. One set warned voters against
the other, thus leaving the timed or indif-
terent in a state Of embarrassment SO great
that they declined to participate at all.
In the tenth and eleventh wards, the con-
fusion was beautiful, and the opponents of
prop hairs succeeded in getting in some
good work, and they may win.
Nearly every ward has its quarrels, and
the end is not yet.

Rather Expensive RetKenchrnent.


A Washington special in the Philadelphia
Bulletin of the sixteenth says:
The effect of cutting down the expenses
of the PostOtfice Department by the Dem
ocratic House manifested itself to-day in a
manner which will hardly prove very sat
isfactory to the country at large. The Post
master General to-day received letters from
Mr.. Vanderbilt and Colonel Thomas A.
Scott, notifying the department that the
fast mail service will be discontinued on
and after Saturday, the twenty-second of
July. Mr.. Vanderbilt says that when he
began running these fast mail trains he did
it upon the assumption that Congress would
pay for this extra service; that instead of
this being done, compensation for the trans
portation of tha ordinary mails has been
materially reduced, and, therefore, he de-
sires to give the department notice that the
fast mail trains running over the Hudson
river, New York Central, Lake Shore and
Michigan Central railroads will be discon-
tinued on and after the twenty-secOnd.
Colonel Scott, in his letter, says that on
and after next Saturday the postal cars will
be detached from the limited mail trains
running over the Pennsylvania railroad and
other roads under his control. Inadequacy
of compensation is the cause assigned for
this action. Neither Mr.. Vanderbilt nor
Colonel Scott say what arrangements they
propose to make in forwarding the mails
now going by fast trains.
Before communicating these facts to Con-
gress Postmaster General Tyner will send
Mr.. Vail, superintendent of the postal rail
way service, to New York to see Mr.. Van
derbilt and see what arrangements can be
made for forwarding the mails after next
Saturday. 1t is believed that as soon as the
mails are discontinued such remonstrance
will come from the commercial interests in
the West as will influence Congress to take
some steps to continue the fast mail service.
Postmaster General Tyner is powerless to
do anything in the face of the appropria-
ton bill which has just become law.
