4 chronic obioctor like Mr. CoNGER Of
Michigan may often be useful in Congress,
even though he be indiscriminatei in his slash
ing methods. Mr.. MARrIS Of Delaware re-
ported a resolution from the Committee OF
Accounts, the other day, authorizing the
Snrgeant-at-Arms TO employ one additional
clerk at slS0O per aunum, and one messen-
ger at $1,000 per annum, said messenger to
assist in preserving order on the floor OF the
House in the absence Of the Sergeant-at-
Arms, to serve subpUnas, and TO perform
such other duties as may be assigned to
him.
This barelaccd proposition TO create new
offices, without the least color Of necessity,
has been tried several times, and deservcdly
failed. The preteXt Of preserving order on
the floor is n sham, and is, TO "A certain ex-
tent, a reflection on the Speaker. Since the
strict enforcement Of the rule regulating adj
missions TO the lloor, in the last Congress,
there has been no complaint Of any kind,
aud no sign of disorder that was not imme-
diately suppressed among the clustering
members who caused 1t. This scheme to
give Mr.. BoMPsON two additional part-
sans at high pay was sent TO the Committee
Of the Whole ON point raised by MI CON
GER and he merits thanks for his vigilance.
Mr.. WILSON of West Virginia, who was SO
ardent in h7 zeal for the two corrupt claims
against the payment Of which Mexico had
protested earnestly, reported joint reso-
luton last Friday providing for treaty Of
extradtion with Mexico, and the appoint
mont of a special commissioner to negotiate
IT. That is TO say, while we pay Minister
twelve thousand a year for diplomatic
service at Mexico, it is coolly proposed to
ignore him entirely, and TO hire some favor
tie TO do his business, with Il round salary
attached.
Mr.. SPRINGER promptly objected, and as
unanimous consent was required, the propo-
sltion had to 90 over. But IL will be tried
again, and we hope the Speaker will keep
his eyes open, as several small schemes
have Slipped through which should have re-
ceiyed no countenanco or liberation.

the Prevention Of Crime. The jury recommend

On the Part of the society, however, il WIS

MIR. IInNes,s Lntcst Veto.

There is one thing about Mr. HAYEss
latest veto 1t is not Il surprise to any one
Everybody expected it.
The ground on which Mr.. HAYES vctucs
the bill "ior making appropriations for GER
tain judicial expenses Is that the act pro-
hibits the use Of the money appropriated for
certain purposes for which it might other
wise have been used.
He says:
"tis not sourhthr the bill before me to repeal the
election laws Its obcctis to defeat their enforcement
Mr. HAYES seems to forget that the
authority by which the use II money for
certain purposes Is now prohibited IL pre-
cisely the same authority from which he
derived the power ne now possesses to use
the money in the prohibited way-thc au-
thority OF the National Legislature.
To charge the Congress OF the United
States with an attempt to defeat the en-
lorcement OF the laws is n height Of inso-
lence never reached before 10y any EXccu-
tive. Why, what docs the Constitution OF
the United States sayY
"ALL Legislature polcsrs herein granted
shall be rested in Il Congress- 0f the UHdcd
.Stdies Which shall consist Of It Senate and
House Of Representatives."
These be the very words. all the words,
and the only words contained in the first
article Of the Constitution OF the United
States.
The Senate and House OF Representatives,
In pursuance OF the authority thus fully
vested in them, have forbidden Mr.. HAYES
to use certain moneys at the polls to in-
fluence elections. Had they right to do ii
or not p? Can there lo any question about
the meaning OF this first provision OF the
Constitution, and one Of its plainest?
