THE Constitution of the Confederate
Government contained clause which
empowered the President to veto such
items of 4 general appropriation bill as
failed to meet his approval, and to sane
ton the rest The provision was excel
lent for the reason that that it did not
present to the Executive the alternative
Of sanctioning bill with Objectionable
features to avoid defeating appropria
tons necessary to carry on the Govern
ment. We observe that a similar law
is operative in New York, and that Gov.
Robinson is commended by the press Of
that State for having recently vetoed nu-
merous items of eXtravaganteX expenditure,
the product of log-rolIing and bargaining,
in the general appropriation bill recently
passed by the Legislature of that State,
-~-o-. S
The Democratic Legislature Of South
Carolina has despaired of restoring the
once Furnishing University Of that State
for the present. 1t had been bought
very low by the carpet bag administra-
ton, converted into hot-bed of ANAL
gamation and the yilest Radical politics.
The institution will be closed up as a
case beyond immediate remedy, until
other matters receive attention. The
best they can do is to is to follow the
example of Abimelech with the city of
the Sheehemites beat it down and sow
the ground wherein it stood with salt.

There is universal regret that ia the re-
organization of the New Orleans, Jackson

ID. Frost has retired from its service as
General Manager From the beginning
of that great enterprise, twenty Years
ago, to the present time, Col. Frost, in
it, troubles AMI trials, and in sunshine and
prosperity, had been intim ltely connected
with 1t, until it had becoma part of
himself, and he had est ,blished an en-,
able reputation for business cap lcity and
for integrity in his management of the
road AMI in IFS varied relations, as
common carrier, to the public The ser
vices of such a IN IN in the prime of his
powers ard with his large experience,
cannot be we'll spared by our State, and
We hope that his services will be secured
by other enterprises Important to its
development, if his disconnectjon with

THE politicians who essayed to lea
the Democracy of the South intn the
fools Paradise OF "a new party" are
learning that they had reckOned with
out their host. Demagogues who have
axes to grind move rapidly on the
road of expediency. The people,
however, are slow to. act and are
prone to stand upon the order of their
going. They never have seen the sense
OF abandoning the only national orgauiza
ton that hal committed itself to the
principle of non-intervention and the SUI
premacy of the civil power; nor of
gushing over an Administration which
owes its existence to the device of an IN
constitutional tribunal A Tennessee
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
Hayes paper after careful review of
the situation in that State, writes:

RAILROAD MArTERs.-There doesn't
seem TO DO any change in the railroad
outlook here, everything remaining IN
Staia quo. No freight trains are running
on either ot'the roads entering the city,
nor Is II likely when there will be any.
We understand that Capt. Devries yester.
daysent word 10 the striking freightmen Of
the B. 4 o. Company that;he would like 10
have a talk with them, in the hope
Of eifecting a compromise by which
the running Of trains could be re.
sumed on this division (.he fourth,
which extends to Grafton. Only one Of
the strikers could beiound, however, and
90 the proposed conference fell through.
The strikers say they don't see any use
in conference, as they have made up
their minds not to 20 to work until their
demands are acceded to, and when the
company are ready to give them what
they desire they can so notify them.
There will be no attempt made here at
present to move any trains, we are in.
formed by the railroad authorities. No
firemen are 10 be had TO run the trains,
even should an attempt DO made to move

SUICIDE BY HANGING. - Yesterday
morning the staid Germans Of our
Brighton-the little village Of Fulton
were considerably excited over the sui.
eide Of August Miller, one Of their well
known citizens, a stonemason by occupa.
ton. Miller was found hanging to a tree
on Mr.. Kober's dairy farm, on the hill
side above Fulton. He had evidently
been dead several hours, and the
position in which the body was found
showed that lhe had deliberately pre-
pared the fatal moose, attached ii to
a limb Of the tree, and then swung
himself into eternity. It Is not de.
tinitely known when the net was commit.
ted, whether on the previous night or at
an early hour in the morning. Miller
was about forty.five years Of age, and
married. His wife keeps saloon in
Fulton. For several years past they
have not been on good terms, and he has
several times been arrested for assaulting
her. He was very dissipated, and whisky
is ascribed as the cause Of the suicide.
