their friendly relations with Anahools.
Aside from this no trouble arose during
the Osprey's stay at Sitka.

The exodus of colored men from the South
is evidently a deeper and more widespread
movement than the Southern white men are
willing to concede We infer this from the
fact that State conventions of prominent men
are suggested to devise means for checking
the labor migration from that section. As
some evidence, also that the negroes are
themselves considerably interested in the
matter the convention of colored clergymen
and others which met at New Orleans Thurs
day is not without significance. Committees on
emigration and relief were appointed, and it
is said that the convention includes among its
members careful thinkers and representa-
tive men," The employers of labor at the
South have, or may soon have, the alterna-
tive before them to treat the blacks as though
they were whites, in respect to legal and po-
litical rights, or their fields may be left unto
them desolate.

The debate in the Senate on the Army APP
preparation bill was practically closed last
Thursday by Senator Conkling, with a speech
of great force and eloquence The audience
which was drawn to the Senate chamber by
the announcement that the brilliant New
York Senator would speak upon this measure
was as marked in point of numbers as it was
in quality and character. The galleries were
packed at an early hour and the number that
was unable to gain admission was greater
than the number which found accommoda-
ton. Mr.. Conkling spoke for nearly three
hours, and had the undivided attention of his
large audience during the entire period. The
speech had evidently been prepared with
great care, and its delivery WAS even more
graceful and impressive than is usual with
the oratorical efforts of that gentleman. 1t
generally admitted that this was the greatest
effort of Mr. Conkling's life.

William NJ. Lowe, Greenback congressman
from Alabama, and an ex-cOnfederate colonel,
sent a challenge to Senator Logan to inject
him on the field of honor" and the Senator
having taken no notice of the challenge,
Lowe has ''posted" him as zone who knows
how to insult but not how to satisfy gentle
man." The difficulty grew out of statement
made by Mr.. Lowe about two weeks ago, and
published in a Pittsburg paper, in the form of
an interview, in which that gentleman is re-
ported TO have said that Senator Logan, on
the eve of the rebellion, contemplated enter
ing the confederate service that he raised
three regiments of troops in Illinois which en-
tered and fought in the confederate army
and that just prior to the departure Of these
regiments from Illinois Logan deserted them.
When this interview WINS called TO Senator
Lognn's attention he promptly published
card denOuncing the statement rs a vindictive
and malicious lie. Then came demands for
Tetraction from Lowe, then the challenge and
then the ''posting" in true Southern style
Logan simply laughed over the challenge and
said, if Lowe wanted satisfaction he could
easily obtain il.

Passage Of the Army BiII---Its veto by
the PreaIhent.

The Senate passed the Army appropriation
bill last Friday by vote Of 40 yeas to 81 nays.
The bill was then enrolled, signed by the
Speaker Of the House and the President pro
TEN. of the Senate, and sent to the President
On Tuesday the bill was returned TO the
House with the Presidents message refusing
his approval. As the House adjourned soon
after assembling on Tuesday, out Of respect
to the memory of Representative Clark of
Iowa, the message was not formally read un-
til Wednesday. As a matter Of immediate
and vital interest we give the message in full
in our columns to-day. Tire document is one
which meets the hearty approval Of the Re
publicans at the national capital and the po-
sition taken by the President will be heartily
sustained by the better judgment of the whole
country. The language of the message is
plain and direct, its discussion of the subject
is full and incsive, and the objections to the
measure are stated with admirable skill and
judgment. We trust that no reader will pass
this important state paper by without giving
it careful perusal.

Here is Democratic journal, the Lewis
ton (Ill.) Democrat which seems very much
inclined to speak out in meeting" on the
question of Mr. Tilden's candidacy in 1880:
This Office is in regular receipt of the AL
bany Argus Mr.. Tilden's personal organ. 1t
comes to us weekly, with all its Tilden arti-
cles carefully marked We infer that Demo
cratic papers generally are similarly favored.
This is the old plan In the spring of 1876,
Mr.. Tilden inaugurated this identical scheme.
He even did more than that-employed reg
ular advertising agency to procure the inser-
ton of Iilden's editorials in Democratic pa
pers at so much line. The offer named
came to this office-of so for printing five
certain short editorials in Mr. Mr. Tildcn's in
terest. The identical editorial appeared in
many papers, but not in the Democrat We
doubt il any other presidential aspirant in
America ever resOrted TO such contemplate
means TO secure a nomination 1t would be
degrading in a candidate for even a pitiful
country office. But it was in keeping with
Mr. Tilden's management of the campaign
throughout. With full knowledge of the
facts stated it is not very singular that we
more than surmise that Mr.. Tilden was not
ignorant of the Oregon rascality and the in
famous cipher dispatches. We do not deny
that Mr.. Tilden was defrauded of the Office to
which he was elected. His own ineXcusable
cowardice made this crime possible This
sickening cOwardice, the groveling methods
of his campaign, and his evident completely
in the attempted frauds proved against Pei
tOu a Co, render it impossible for honorable
men to join in the scheme TO boom Tilden TO
the front in 1880.

Friends of the President report that he was
very much displeased with the extraordinary
haste exhibited by the Democratic managers
in placing the Army Appropriation bill be-
fore him after its passage and enrolment last
Friday. The bill was not passed by the Sen
ate until late on Friday afternoon, and was
not signed by the presiding officers Of both
houses until about & o clock on that evening
1t was then delivered to Mr.. Kenna. Of West
Virginia, chairman of the House committee
on enrolled bills, whose duty it is to see that
all bills originating in the House which are
passed by the two houses are duly enrolled
snd submitted to the Executive. Mr. Kenna
took charge of the Army bill himself, and in
stead of waiting until the following day,
rushed directly to the White House, where he
arrived about o'clock. The President had
not returned from his usual afternoon drive
when Mr.. Kenna called, but that gentleman
regarded his mission as so urgent and import
ant that he waited about three quarters of an
hour before the President made his appear
ance, when the bill was placed in his posses
sion This haste was not only unnecessary
but unusual and indecent. There is no law
which prescribes the hours for the delivery
of bills to the President, but common decen-
cy suggests that a public measure like the
Army bill should not be hurled at the Execu-
tive in the night, as if he was contemplating
flight to avoid receiving it, particularly when
no possible inconvenience or danger could re-
suit from a postponement of the delivery of
the bill until the regular office hours of the
following day Mr. Konna delivered the hill
to the President with an air which plainly i'm
piled, We told you we would pass this bill
here it is; disapprove it if you dare The
friends of the President say that he was con-
siderably annoyed by this unusual exhibition
of haste, and was disposed to meet the ma
jority in Congress in their own spirit and re-
turn the bill on Saturday with his disapprov-
al. Had he known that the House would not
have been in session on Monday it is believed
that he would certainly have returned the
bill on Saturday.

Against a really strong democratic nomin-
alton it is our belief that Grant, simply as
Grant, would be a weak candidate The re-
publican party, if it expects to succeed in
1880, must be prepared not merely to over
come such candidates as Tilden or Bayard
whom Grant might defeat, but to oppose 9TH
er candidates, who might defeat Grant By
tying itself to Grant it cOnfesses the unmis-
taxable sign of conscious weakness which is
shown by any party, or even by any public
or private concern dependent on the patron
age of the people which commits fortunes
entirely to one man. If il is a fact that with
out Grant the Republican party cannot win,
then it is as good as beaten already and
those who urge him as the only possible man,
as the only candidate who can carry the
country for them next year, ought to be ST.
fenced by the party leaders as quickly as pos
sible, for they are proclaiming to the world
their belief that defeat is at least highly prob
