A Szegedin dispatch of the 10th instant
says: " The lowest estimate now current,
fixes the number drowned at 1000. Many
believe that 1900 persisted, as the gale pre-.
vented the majority of the inhabitants from
hearing the first alarm. The frost is eaus-
ingmuek suffering and diphtheris has broken
out among the refugees. Sixteen thousand
horses and cattle and ninety thousand
sheep have been lost. Of $500 houses in
the city, all but 26l have been DESTROYED.

Another Presidential Veto.

The veto of the bill relating to military
interference at the polls is a shorter paper
than the message on the Army Appropria-
tion Bill. The two main grounds of the.
veto are that the bill repeals, or rather
nullifes, for all days of general or special
election in feverat States, laws of great
Importance which confer the right upon
the President to use the militia,
the army and navy in enforcing the
laws and preserving peace. The particular
acts named are those of 1792, 1895, 1907,
1888 and July IS, 1861. Each of these laws
was passed to meet an incipient rebellion,
and to enable the President to promptly
preserve the national authority. These
acts were called out by such events in our
history as the Pennsylvania whisky rebel
lion, the Aaron Burr conspiracy, South
Carolina notification, and the great rebel
lion and the laws passed after it was crushed
to enforce the rights OF citizens.
These laws in general give the President
the right, and make it his duty, to call out
such portion of the militia, army and navy,
as may be needed whenever the execution
of the laws shall be obstructed in any State
by any combination too powerful to be sup.
pressed by any judicial proceedings. Un-
der the act of 1892 and others, including
the act of 1888, it is sufficient that the Presi.
dent be notified of such a situa,ion OF
aHalrs Dy an Associate Jusuce OF
the District Judge. The suspension
of all power to execute these various
laws in any of the States on the days of ma.
tional or State elections is held by the Presi
dent to be sufficient ground on which te
We. o the bill.
The second of the main objections of the
President to the bill is that the ect is clip
ping away of the power OF the nationa
government and that its tendency is t.
strengthen State sovereignty at the expense
of the general government

Consideration was resumed of the bill
making appropriations for the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial expenses of the
Government for the fiscal year ending
Jane 1880, and for other purposes Mr.
Beck, of the Committee on Appropriations,
sand the bill was substantially the same as
agreed on by the Committee on Conference
at the former session of Congress. Mr.. Ed
munds inquired whether what is called
political legislation is the same as proposed
last year, or did it differ by enlargement or
diminution. Mr.. Beck replied that he was
not prepared to answer, rs he had not COM
pared the two ropositions. The amendments
restoring the compensation of Senate Off
GERS, clerks, and other employees, which
the House had reduced, were agreed to.
Mr.. Beck moved that the reading of the
bill be dispensed with to afford Mr.. Hill an
opportunity to address the Senate, as he
intends leaving the city, and may not re-
turn before the end of the present session.
Mr.. Hill then spoke with reference to that
part OF the bill proposing new legislation

SITTING BULBS STATUS.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says that the dis
patch lately published, that the Ad-
ministration had decided henceforth to
treat Sitting Bull as a British subject,
was read in the Canadian Parliament,
and pronounced canard by Sir John
Mcdonald, Premier, who stated that the
Dominion Government had received no
such information, official or otherwise,
and denied the fright of the United
States Government to say who was or
was not British subject. The publica-
tion was originally made upon the very
best authority, .and is reiterated. The
Dominion Government has received no
notice of the decision of the Administra.
tion, and will receive none until some
cause arise to call for it, but it is never
theless true that General Sherman has
received orders to this effect from the
Secretary of War, and will act accord
ingly. The correspondent called the
attention of the Secretary of War to the
incident in the Dominion Parliament,
and he said that it was not customary
for one Government to notify another
what its opinions were, until occasion
arose, making an expression Of opinion
necessary. He said further that Sil
John Mcdonald was right in saying thai
the President could not determine who
was, or was not, British subject, bu
he could decide who was, and who wa
not, subject of the United States, ant
it was a we'll matured opinion that Sit
ting Bull was no longer subject of tn

ACCORDING to the most recent calcu-
lations-those Of Peterman-the popu-
lation of the world is now l, ,424, ,OO0, 600.
1t is well known that not few thinkers
have called in question the account of
the origin of mankind, as given in the
Biblical writings, on the ground that it
was impossible that in the period in
question 30 many could have descended
from two ancestors-Adam and Eve.
This objection, however, Euler has un-
dertaken to meet, by showing that, in a
process of doubling the population from
one pair it might amount to any con-
ceivable number. 1t has been laid
down that a population can double
itself in twenty-five years. 1t is true
that, if the population increased to its
present pitch in five thousand eight
hundred and eighty years, it may have
doubled itself every two hundred years.
The inhabitants of the earth would thus,
in two hundred years, approach three
billions; and at the same rate the differ.
ence between the birth-rates and the
death rates would be nearly constant,
although themselves varying widely.

his desire for peace with his Anglo-Indian

will soon be compelled to think of protect
