VETO OF THE ARMY BILL.

Every Republican, and every citizen
who favors fair and impartial ballot,
will applaud the action of President
Hayes in vetoing the army appropri-
alton bill which was loaded with rid
er removing all obstacles to repeat
ing and illegal voting generally at
federal elections. The army bill,
which by the dictation of King Caucus
passed the Senate as it came from the
House, was returned to the House, in
which it originated, on Tuesday of
last week, accompanied by veto
message in which the President clear
~ sets forth his objections to the same
and it seems to us that his exceptions
are well taken. The contents of the
bill. so far us they related solely to APP
preparations for the maintenance of
the army, were not only unObjection-
able, but were in consonance with the
interests of the people, but those clauses
which sought to remove from the
ballot box those safeguards surrounding
it were of that demoIalizing tendency
which, were they given the force of
law, would soon transfer the ma
chinery of our elections in the larger
cities to the control of an irresponsi-
BILE cabal which would render them
travesty upon fairness and justice.
Step by step has the Republican party
and a Republican executive, for the
sake of reconciliation and harmony,
recognized the claims and acceded to
the demands of the rebels of the South
until that valiant and persistent band
of traitors have acquired very nearly
all they sought in their appeal to the
force of arms and in which contest
they suffered most inglorious defeat
They were first amnested, then adj
mitted to the councils Of the govern
ment which they sought to destroy be-
cause they no longer controlled it; hay
ing gained admittanee to these coun-
ellis they have persistently sought to
accomplish by legislation what they
failed to gain by the relentless arbi-
ter of war, and in this they have met
with a marked degree of success.
They seem to have gone so far in
their requirements, however, that it
has been deemed proper for Repub-
lican President, acting in conjunction
with what has become a Republican
minority in Congress, to check them
| in their unreasonable demands; in
| fiFm and dignitied manner President
Hayes spurns their threats of coercion
and reads them concise lecture upon
| certain of his own rights and duties
under the constitution which lie ITas
sworn to support. Those 'stalwarts
who denounce President Hayes for his
overtures to the Southern people in
the name of Cancellation are jubilant
over the veto, while those calm and
/ conservative Republicans who have
sustained the Chief Executive. never
doubling his loyalty in what they
deem a. honest purpose, possibly for
+ the best. quietly endorse it. feeling
that their faith has proven well found
