AS was anticipated by his Republican
friends, President Hayes sent his message
to the House of Representatives in Con-
gress on Tuesday last, giving his reasons
for Withholding his official signature from
the Army bill. The bill, as it passed Con-
gress, was loaded down with riders of a
character entirely dissimilar to the bill i;
placed there because they had not merit
enough in them, disconnected with bill
of imperative necessity, to pass the ordeal
of successful legislation. Now what will
this Democratic Congress do about it Z
Will they present bill free from riders
of all kinds and pass it, which would be
approved by the President, or will they
persist in their revolutionary policy
They must do this or take the RESPONSE
bility of thwarting the wheels of the Gov
ernment. (which hOrn,' gentlemen?
The veto message will appear in th'
HERALD next week.

A NAN named Mark Lyons attempted to
kill Edwin Booth, the actor, at McVicker's
theater, in Chicago, on Wednesday night,
April 23d. Lyons stood up in his place
in the dress circle, and fired two shots at
Booth upon the stage, taking careful aim,
but missing his mark each shot. He was
then seized by an officer before he could
fire another shot. Lyons is thought to be
crazy. He does not assign any reason for
his attempt to murder the actor, but says
he went to the theater to kill Booth, and
regrets that he didn't succeed.

PETITIONS are in circulation in differ
ent parts of the State calling on our State
Legislature-to adjourn Immediately. In
a political point of view, no Republican
ought to sign such petition. 1t is a
Democratic strategy resOrted to for the
purpose Of trying to save the life of their
party, for they begin to understand the
fact that their protracted session is likely
to be the death of the party, and thai
what is their loss is our gain.

We respectfully call the attention of
the readers of the HERALD to the able
speech of Hon j. E. Bryant, Chairman
of the Republican State Central Commit
Tee of Georgia, at the organization of the
State Council of the Union League OF
America, delivered at Atlanta, Georgia,
on the goth of April, 1879. The speech
is one that should be read North as well
as South. There is no sectional pleading:
in this speech, and it has the ring of pure
Republican metal, and is equally gooC
doctine in all sections of the Union. Reat
/ it?

The Democratic Legislature of this
State threatens to abolish the Board of
State Charities. They are great on or
gsnizing, or rather disorganizing our
State institutions. 1t is fair to conclude,
from their acts, that they are fit subjects
for the Columbus Lunatic Asylum, and
that they ought to be in that institution
instead of the State Capitol, as law-mak
ers. The change would be decidedly
proper, and the finances of the State re
lieyed from set of ravenous leeches.

Jackson county paid for medical at
tendance for one year and ten months the
enormous sum of $9,2l9-outside of In
firmary. DUNCAN of that county has a
bill in the Legislature which if passed
will remedy this matter. rwentv-five
doctor shops had fin ger in the pie and
pulled out sums ranging from 81 ,5l7 40
to 81 so. And the dollar and ha,f-fel-
lows name was Steele CbiLlicothe E1-
press.
The above reminds us of the fact wher
the senior editor of this paper, two years
ago, was urging the passage of bill il
the House of Representatives, for tht
purpose of preventing this kind of out
rage upon the tax payers of the State
DR.. MOnahan (now deceased) was tn
Representative from Jackson county ant
opposed our bill, making furious speecl
against its passage, alleging that in Jack
son county there was no complaint of ex
horbitant charges for outside medical ser
vices, and no cause for complaint. Hat
the bill passed, the needy and suffering
poor of jackson county would have bee
equally as well cared for at an expens
of much less than SO ,21s for medical ser
vices outside of the Infirmary.

AFTER our own fellow-citizen as the
Republican candidate for rGovernor-Hon.
Mills Gardner-there is no doubt but
what Judge Taft is the choice of the Re
publicans of this county. Mr.. Gardner
has had great deal of experience in pub
lie life, having served the people well and
truly in both branches of the State Leg
islature, also in the late Constitutional
Convention, and later, one term in Con-
gress. His record is one that recommends
him to the people for high official posi-
ton, and with due respect to the claims
and competency of other gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connec.
tion with the Gubernatorial nomination
we are confident that none of them have
superior claims or would fill the position
more acceptably to the people of the State
than would Hon. Mills Gardner.

In the Ohio Senate on Wednesday of
last week, the following resolution was
offered by Republican Senator:
Resolued, that i'm honor of the memory
of the distinguished patriot and soldier,
Gen. John A. Dix, author of the senti-
ment, eff any man attempt to pull down
the American flag, shoot him on the spot, -
that the flag of the Senate be placed at
half mast during tomorrow, the day of
. his funeral.
A Democratic Senator promptly moved
to strike out the sentiment eff any man
attempt to pull down the American flag,
shoot him on the spot,' and the Senate
voted to strike out. The resolution was
offered in the House, but that body re
fused to entertain it at all.

THE army bill passed both houses of
Congress last week without a single
change in it. The Democrats fiattered
themselves that the President would not
dare TO do otherwise than to sign the bill
and allow it to become a law. In this they
were counting without the shadow of a
probability that the President would graf
ify their wishes. The Presidents mes
sage, in which he gives his objections to
the bill, was ready TO be sent to the House
where it originated on Monday, but ow-
ing to the fact that the House had adj
journed over until Tuesday it had to be
delayed until that day. The president
is prompt business man.

Can a Diamond BE Broken.

In cutting or rather rubbing the dia-
mond into shape, and in polishing the
cut stone no abrading agent can be
used except the diamond itself. 1t is
this supreme.hardness that gives much
of the value to diamond; for the
toughest wear scarcely destroys the
sharpness Of the cut edges or deadens
its polish. The exceptional hardness
Of the diamond is well known. and
gives point to the expression, ida
lnond cut diamond;' but the popular
notion often credits this gem with an
lndomltable nature which it can
scarcely claim Among the many ex-
travagant things which Pliny tells MS
IS his remark that certain diamonds
have such excessive hardn9 SIS that
when struck upon an iron anvil the
hammer and anvil are torn asundcr
with difficulty, yet SO soft that it may
be indcntcd with the finger nail On
the other hand the diamond is so hard
that no other substance is capable Of
stretching it, yet so brittle that the
Regent" itself might be shattered
into fragments by dropping it on the
ground from the height of only few
feet.

A remarkable story is told Of the
late Captain Stone, of Moundsvlle,
who was buried at the beginning of
this week. Thirty.ive years ago he
came from New Orleans 10 Mounds
vile to make his home, and brought
with him two seeds of mahogany
like tree that flourished near his for
ner home. These he planted, remark
ing to his family that he would have
his coffin made from the tree. One of
the seeds died, but the other -four
ished and grew. From a shoot it be-
came a sapling, and finally, in the
course of thirty years, grew to fine
tree. About eight months ago Sc
we're wind storm passed over Mound
vile, and Captain Stone found his
tree laid prostrate He had it dried,
sawed into lumber and sent to Pitts
burg firm. IN short time it was re-
turned to him in the form Of q beauti
full coiiin, and for four months it was
preserved in his residence. AS our
readers well know, about two weeks
ago he contracted sickness that cul-
minated in his death, and his desire
being fulfilled, he was laid within the
coffin he planted thirty.6ve years ago,
and in which he has been laid away
forever.
