The conduct of the Democratic party
in the closing scene of the late Congress
makes clear to all intelligent men, not
only the supremacy on the part of the
ex-Confederates, but the fact that those
Confederates have not acquired useful
knowledge. Those who want the South
ern COnfederacy to be placed over the
United States, can aid the practical ex-
preston of their views by voting the
Democratic ticket as often as chance
occurs. After the triumphant issue of
war, nothing but the rings that flourished
under the shadow of a great name could
have brought the country to this; and
nothing but the fear of the same rings
doing again the same things, can prevent
the overthrow of the Democracy as deci-
sively as the. Confederacy was over
thrown.-C Cincinnati Commercial.

The broad assertions made by lawyers,

it;'' that is, that all, or nearly all, clerks

Adjournment of Congress--Extra
Session Called.


Congress adjourned at noon on Tues
day, without passingTh necessary appro-
priation bills, thus rendering an extra
session necessary. The Democractic ma
jority in the House prevented the passage
of the appropriation bills by tacking onto
them amendments for the repeal of the
election law, and political measures.
President Hayes has issued proclama-
ton calling an extra session, to convene
on the 18th inst, which we annex:
BY the President of the United States of
America-A Proclamation:
WHEREAS, The final adjournment of the
FOrty-fifth Congress without making the
usual and necessary appropriations for
the legislative, executive and judicial ex-
penses of the Government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880, and without
making the usual and necessary appro-
priations for the support of the army for
the same fiscal year, presents the extraor-
binary occasion requiring the President
to exercise the power vested in him by
the Constitution to convene the Houses OF
Congress, in anticipation of the day fixed
by law for their next meeting.
Now, therefore, /, Rutherford B. Hayes
President of the United States, do, By
virtue of the power to this end ia ms
vested by the Constitution, convene botI
houses of Congress, to assemble at theil
respective chambers, at II o'clock moor

PRESIDENT HAYES, as has been expected
he would do, has vetoed the Chinese bill.
His veto message was sent to Congress on
Saturday evening. Close attention was
paid to thereading of the veto message,
and It is pronounced a clear and able doc
ument. After the reading the bill was
put upon its passage, but failed to receive
the necessary twO-thirds majority to pass
it over the veto. The vote stood 100 for
its passage to 95 against, and was nearly
a party vote. The veto is upon the
grounds that the bill is in violation of an
existing treaty with the Chinese govern
ment, and, that there is better way pos
sible Of remedying the evils feared, from
7 Chinese immigration.

THE NEED OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.
COMMENTS BY ASSISTANT SECRETARY SEWARD ON


THE NECESSITY OF THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
iDi TKLEGBAPB TRIBuSBl
WAsHIS0TON, Oct 27.-Ihe long continuance Of
the vacancies In the English ard Russian Missions
has given occasion for the frequent expression of
opinion that the diplomatic system of the world IL
becoming obsolete, and especially that the Ameri-
can system might be abandoned without serious
detrment to any material interest, aud with great
| advantage III point of economy.
a visitor to the state Department has conversed
briefly with Assistant Secretary Seward upon the
subject calling his attention TO ts sibility that
some ambitious Congressman might take a hint
from the discussion. and seek TO make n reputation
for himself by proposing gradual abolition of the
whole system.
Dir. seGard said that such a step would DO found
TO be very serious mistake. He pointed TO the
fact that the American Mission to the United States
OF Columbia had been abolished 10y act Of Congress
year two ago. The result had been such that it
re0stablshed last Winter, and only to-day the
new Minister frOm that country. Mr Arosemena
had arrived here and been presented TO the Presi
dent "The diplomatic system never more
needed than now." continued Mr. Seward. "a Min-
istcr's functions not like yours and mine. HIS
duties not those whIoh come up for performance
day by day. He Is rather Ike q vldete placed In a
position to watch and report when occasion does
occur for action. He perhaps averts a war by few
timely words of explanation. Abolish the Missions,
and matters which now settled without ripple
of excitement and often without becoming known
to the public would require nr itraton, which
would in the end 10 much more expensive than tue
missions themselves.
Bes des,n continued Mr.. Seward, those who
propose the abolition of missions abroad do not
take into consideration the fact that such course
would result In the immediate withdrawal Of the
representatives Of foreign Governments To this
country. They talk about tie settlement OF our
International aGairs by telegraph Out 10 " hom are

graph directly to b Bismarck, or If We did tnat We
should have no reason to expect reply"
Mr.. Seward predicted that several IF the minor
Missions, which have lately been abolished, would
soon DC restored as q matter of economy.
