Acting President HAYES and tbe Arr,

Acting President Hayes and the Army.
The acting president has issued his
proclamation converting the houses of con-
gress in anticipation of the day fixed By
law for their meeting" and calling upon
them to assemble at noon on Monday, the
tifteenthaday of October next. In this
proclamation he gives his reason for thus
converting congress. and states it to be
the tact that the Fourty- fourth congress
nnally adjourned without making
the usual appropriation for the sup
port OF the army for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1878" In these words
he plainly codemns his own action. OF
the year ending June 80. 1873" more
than one quarter part will have expired
before the date liked by him for acting by
congress upon the question of making or
not making the usual appropriation for
the support OF the army" The acting
president therefore calmly assumes the
rights OF keeping up the army for one
fourth OF d year without the authority of
the only body which can legalize the sup
port OF an army by the United States. 1t
Is matter OF common notoriety that he
does this tor the political convenience of
his own administration. But it is a pretty
serious question whether the people of this
country can afford to allow an executive
TO usarp IN this way the constitutional power
OF congress to raise and support armies
even tor one-quarter of fiscal year; the
acting president himself having explicitly
stated that no appropriation has been made
for that purpose to cover that time. The
question, be it observed, is not whether
the war department has or has money
enough to meet certain obligations: nor
whether 1t can raise in some extra-legal
way money enough to meet those oblipa. |
tionsi nor whether it can keep the armv
together by promises to pay whenever cou- |
gress shall give it the means of paving. |
Inc question is whether any army at all |
can be lawfully raised or supported" 10 |
this country by the executive alone. when |
congress, IN the exercise of its own exclu-
slve and absolute power to raise or not to |
raise, to support or not to sup
port an army, has deliberately |
chosen not to make any appropriation for
the support of an army. The language of |
the acting presidents proclamation is too
to be lightly passed over. He
speaks of the adjournment of congress
without making the usual appropriation
For the support of the army" as if congress |
had omitted to do something which it was
It's duty to do; and as if the raising and SUP |
porting OF an army were thing required |
Of congress by the constitution, and not a |
thing expressly put by the constitution in
to the sole power of congress to do or not
to do at Its own discretion. We advise the |
business men" who have been
IN such hot haste to hail this extraordina-
~ conduct Of the administration as a guar
antee OF political peace and progress, to |
take the first article of the constitution of
their country into their closets with them
and mediate ever it an hour or two.

of early convention for the sole reason thar il
wants the Republicans to pass lot of resolutions
announcing the administration of President HAYES
-Bedf0Fd argus.
The Iowa City Republican may be stu
pid, but it is right. 1t may be very unpo
lite but We believe it is the duty OF honesty
to assert that the Republican, the Des
MONIES Register, and other republican pa
pers which are warning upon Hayes's
policy are therein entitled to respect.
1t will be remembered that when the
New York Nation propose last winter that
some Hayes elector should on the voting
day boldly give his ballot II Tilden and
thus end the contest, the proposition was
denounced by the whole party press. and
as eminent an authority as DR.. James
Russell Lowell, himself Hayes elector,
thought 1t so important that in a public
letter he declared that no man of honor, no
matter what his private convictions. could
survive or should survive the public COM
tempt and condemnation which should
follow such betrayal of an electors trust.
Ii some Hayes elector had voted fol-
Illden, President 1ilden would have car
lied out the same southern policy as tina,
accomplished by Hayes, and it was in the
fear of such result that the party de-
nouaced any attempt at betrayal by a
Hayes elcctor.
1t such betrayal were base in an elector,
how much baser 10 man elevated to the
presidency by electors held up to their
trust by this great argument of honor?
Hayes is guilty of that betrayal and if
honor this spring is the same quality of
honor as last fall, and If honesty is clad in
the same garb and truth is as white and as
naked as then, Hayes is the basest traitor
OF the century and his example is more
harmful than that of Arnold or Burr.
Primarily.of course, the fault lies with the
Republicans who put him in power, knowing
that he was not elected, and while their
punishment is severe as it is deserved, yet
those who refuse to be bought by patron
age into outward approval of what thew
inwardly hare are entitled to the respect
if not to the sympathy of honest men

THE WAR.

The Turks have organized and sent
to the front a fresh corps of cavalry 10000
strong.
Baron Krout, a Russian nobleman, ar
rested as n Turkish spy some days ago at
Ploiesti, has not been shot.
Portugal has proclaimed her neutral
ity in the Turco-Russian war, but Germany
refuses to do SO.
The Russians are making active prep
a%rations to cross the Danube at Ibrail, and
that event may be looked for at an early day.
The London Times states that the con-
tingent furnished by the khedive consists Of
forty-fve hundred infantry, one thousand
cavalry and five hundred artillerymen, with
the necessary cannon. The cavalry and ar
tillery are unprovided with horses. The
khedive also sends one hundred thousand
cartridges. A Vienna letter to the Times
saws: Great un~easiness is felt here relative
to the attitude af Servia. Everybody is pre-.
pared for occupation, if necessary. The par.
| ticipation of Servia in the war, which a short
time ago appeared possible to the Vienna
cabinet, is now thought probable. Adyices
report terrible ravages by the Russians upon
the Circassian population of Siberia. Towns
are sacked, women ravished, and men
banished. A reign of terror prevails. The
Russians burned the military hospital in Ar
dahan. Eight hundred inmates persisted.

An article in the last number of the
Scientific American, " Land below TIE
Level of the Ocean," treats of the
scheme to convert the desert of Sahara
into an inland sea by cutting Il canal to
it from the ocean. The article gives
large figures and suggests some marvellous
results:
cit should be considered that this
large inland lake, if once established
would have no fresh water supply by
rivers; but the sea water would rush
in Through the channel, to make up for
the evaporation, which We may slfely set
down at 1900 pounds of water per year
for every square foot. This would lower
the level twenty feet per year, which is
one quarter of the whole quantity OF the
lake. This, for a whole surface of 4, 1000,
600 square miles, or 100, 600, 900 600
GOO square feet, gives 1000, O0O, OO0, 600,
600 cubic feet of water to be replaced
annually from the ocean, or nearly
5000, 600, 600 600 cubic feet per day, or
$50, 600 .000. 600 cubic feet per hour, or
!, 1876, 666, 666 cubic feet per minute, or
69,444, 444 cubic feet or 525,OOO, 600 gal
Ions per second. As the German Rhine
carries only 100000 gallons of water
per second, on an average, the channel
bringing the supply to the desert OF
Sahara from the ocean would have to
carry as much water as is carried by
52j rivers like the Rhine and from the
salt water only pure water would be
e%vaporated, leaving the salt behind. As
this amounts to -four per cent, or one
twenty-fifth of the sea water, and as
nearly twenty feet deep, or one-tourth
of the water in this new lake, would
annually evaporate, it would only take
4x5, or 100 years, n single century for
all the water to disappear and a deposit
of salt take its place. Then the now
sandy desert would be changed into a
desert of salt, when salt would fill the
whole basin, and would certainly be a
more serious affection to Algeria than
the present sand plain can possible be.

FOREIGN.

The tunnel between France and En-,
gland is reported perfectly practicable, as
there is a continuous bed of chalk between
the two shores.
Reports from Erzeroum say that the
Russians continue to make determined at.
tacks on Kars. Confined fighting at that
place for three days resulted in the rcpulse
of the Muscoyite troops with great sIaugh-
ter. The Sukumkaleh rising in Caucasus,
which had been languishing, has suddenly
immensely revived.
A disastrous fire occurred at ST.
Johns, New Brunswick, on June 81. The
telegraph office, all the public buildings,
three principal hotels and all the newspaper
offices, t'gether with Trinity church, the
customhou e and about three-fourths of the
city, were destroyed. The loss is estimated
at over SIX million dollars, and it is stated
that thousands of homeless people are on the
stree Is.
