OF THE DEATH OF Mr.. CLARKE. OF IOWA
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL NOW Do-TnE
CATTLE DIsEAsE-PERsoSAL AND OTHER
BRIEF ITEMS.
| from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The chaplain OF
the House bad scarcely said amen" to-day
before the private secretary OF the President
appeared with message in writing from
his EXcelency. This was the signal for
everybody to say at once, "There's the veto
message"; and everybody was right. The
formidable document was laid upon the
Speakers desk, and the clerk proceeded to
read the journal, the general expectation
being that rs soon as that monotonous dury
was performed lie would read the message
and disclose the best reasons Mr.. Hayes
could give for wanting to starve the army
of the United States. Not so, however; for
as soon as the journal WAS approved, Bro
Their Price, OF Iowa, arose, and with due
solcmnity announced the death OF his COL
league, the Hon. Rush Clarke. After
stating that the family and friends OF
the deceased did not desire any funeral
services to be held in the ball OF the House
of Representatives. he moved the usual reso-
lutions; after which the House adjourned.
Copies OF the message were subsequently
circulated, and the impression was general
among Democrats that it will not 90 into
history among the great State papers. He
contends, as you will see, that the law in
regard to the use OF troops secures equal
rights 10 citizens without regard to race or
color, and therefore should not he repealed,
and that the method by which this law is
repealed, il persisted in, would allow the
House TO usurp all the powers OF the Senate
and Executive. There were good many
people who said that Stanley Matthews had
been sent for for the special purpose OF aid
ing John Sherman in experimenting the
preparation OF this veto message, and that
when he conferred yesterday on the floor
Of the Senate with Carpenter. Chandler,
Logan < Co., he was completing the recon-
Citation between his cousin Hayes and the
chiefs OF the stalwarts. They intlmated,
also. that hereafter less will be said about
"my southern policy and more about tho
principles and traditions Of the great Re-
publican party.
THE DEMOCRATS WILL CAUCUS on THE VETO
AND THE SITUATION GENERALLY.
I asked Mr.. Cabell what would be the
programme now, and he frankly said,
"Whv, we will caucus as to what line OF
procedure will be now followed" / asked
Mr.. Eyins. OF South Carolina, like que>.
ton, and he was not more communicative.
A Democrat from Republican State, how
ever. remarked to me few moments after
wards that the warm place would freeze
over before he would yield TO a fraudulent
President. The fact is that the northern
Democrats are much more belliScrcnt ant
demonstrativc than their southern brethren
and this grows out OF the fact that the latte
have not yet forgotten how Dr.. Lering
Ben. Butler, John A. Logan, and otheI
Democrats talked in 1861, when they wanted
to stfen the backbone of the South. | tax
it, too, that the southern men, who nav
with patience and forbearancc Listened
week after week to Joyce, Williams, Ryan
Burrows 6 Co. read in cold blood infamou
SANDERS Of their section and people, wi
not now he betrayed into anything calcu
lated TO iniure their country or their party
They will rather, before determining as t
what is best to be done, hear the counscls O
their wisest and safest statesmen.
WHAT LEyEL-HEADED NORTHERN DEMO
GRAFT SAYS.
Said I to-day to q northern Democra
who is as cool as Mr.. Bayard, and VIII,
usually considers questions about as judge
Davis did the army bill in his speech thu
other day, what he had to say about The
situation, aud be replied, ." do not see tina
the Democrats will have to back down
They did their duty bravely when they re.
healed the obnoxious laws, and all gooC
men approve the act. The President has
intcrposed his veto, and this the Constitu
ton permits him TO do, and the Democrats
could not preventit it." Then he said, The
, Republicans would be suprcmcly happy ii
the Democrats In Congress would JUS
boil over with rage, and after saying impru
5 dent things without number would so home
: without passing any appropriation bills
Then they would repeat Garfield's cry abou
. starving the Government from St. Johns tt
St. Johns. But, on the other hand, ii thu
Democrats, after cXhausting all honorable
and Constitutional means to secure the re
peal of the laws in question, vote the usua
appropriationS, and then 60 to the country
on the issue the Republicans have made
don't YOU see that they will have all Of th'
advantage on their side, and that it will takt
more than Grant and bloody shirt to defea
them in 1880"
GENERAL LIE DUO AND THE CATTLE DISEASES
Colonel Hatch, who was at Richmond
during the war with Judge Ould, Will TO-
morrow, by direction OF the Agriculture
Committee. report to the House q bill in re-
gard to the cattle disease, and ask that 1t be
nrintrd and rccommitted. There is already
.. oDDosition to the conclusions OF the COM
mittee, because it is proposed to give Cen
cral lie Due, Commissioner Of Agriculture
the establishment OF quarantine stations or
the Interstate lines, and the appointment
OF INSPECTORS and special commission
:. ers. and this official has managed Il
become one OF the most unpopular a
Washington. In fact, the great agrlcultufa
: interest of the country suffers at every ses
: sion of Congress because OF tEis. The gen
eral opinion is that Congress will solve th
difficulty in the end By turning over tnl
. important matter to the National Board 0
, Health. have as yet met no onei in Congress
