ARMS FOR EVERYBODY But the
NATION.

From the n. Y. Tribune. May l2th.l
The Presidents Message goes to
the root of the matter. Under GOV.
er Of preventing military interfer-
ence with elections, the Democrats
attempted to secure for their own
armed and drilled partisan leagues
and rife clubs absolute freedom to
do as they pleased on election days.
Again and again they voted down
amendments to prohibit thepresencs
of any armed force at the polls.
What they wanted was to
strip the United States of all power
to enforce its laws, or to protect citi.
zsns in their free exercise Of the
right of suffrage. Then the rife
clubs would have been able to inter.
fere in any election with impunity.
The Presidents reply makes the
proper distinction. "Military INTER.
FERENcEs with elections" he saws,
in substance, 6 is already prohibited,
and it is not desired by any body.
But the presence of an army wher
ever it may be necessary to enforce
the laws, on election days or any
othor, at the polls or any where else
is not prohibited, and shall not be
with my consent. If you mean no
mischief, the troops will never
trouble you. If you mean to Seize
voting places with illegal bodies of
armed men, to defy the laws, and to
deprive citizens of their freedom, the
United States ought to stop you, and
will retain all the power it has for
that purpose" A great cloud OF
misrepresentation and sophistry
is blown away by this straight for.
ward message. The Federal gov.
ernment has an absolute constitu.
tional right to put forth all its DOW.
er at any time or place for the en-.
forcement of its laws. Only those
who break those laws have any occa.
sion to fear its power. If the Dem.
ocrats mean to have fair and peace
able elections, no army will ever i'll.
terrupt or alright them. President
Hayes can justly point to his, record
that he has no intention whatever of
employing military force in any case
where the right to do SO is question
able. Those who mean to break
those laws, those who mean to carry
elections by meas of armed mobs and
violence, will not be left to 10 Sc
with impunity.

Exc URsION. --- On the GATH INST.
there will be a grand excursion from
Portland to Seattle, onder the auspi'
ces ofthe NJ. +. Church of that
place. A reception at HesIcr' S hall,
a procession and picnic near lake
Union are among the attractive fsa'
lures of the occasion. Some five
Sabbath schools will unite in the
demonstrations. The FIRE depart
msnt of Seattle will be out in full
force, and pleasant reunion is. an
ticipated. Fare for the round trip
from Portland will be be but $40.
Half fare rates have been secured on
the Sound steamers, so that our geo

portunity to take a delightful trip
at comparatively small expense. We
hope the occasion will be general,
appreciated. Invite your Portland
friends to meet you in Seattle.

LONDON, L. u, JAM ~, lo1J.J
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD-
We have seen persistent representations in the
American papers that the proceedings OF The Bolivian
bondholdcrs in the English law courts are prompted
by jealousy of American enterprise in dcvel-
oping the navigation and commerce of
the Amazon. and displacing English trade. So far
from any sentiment of the kind entering into the
matter 1t originally stated In the prospectus of
the loan that ;ho funds for the National Bolivian
Navigation Company and for the Madeira and Ma
more Railway Company were to be raised in tho
United States.
AS that was not done. and the engagements en-
tered into with the holders of the Bolivian
bonds here not carried out, the parties
vino advanced their funds require the return OF
their money, deposited i'm the Lank OF England, for
the security OF the stpuations made with them. For
courts nearly fourhfths OF the holders OF the Doliv
ian loan Gl.30l.J0J at this date. have deposited
their bonds with the committee, ari they trust In
the just uccson of the courts here Tor the return of
their money.
They have not the smallest objection to Mcssrs.
Collins. any other American firm or capitalist,
finding az much money they like for railways or
steam navigation in Brazil or Bolivia, and am sure
| speak the sentiments OF many other holders as
well AZ myself when say that we greatly appreciate
and admire what our American brethren have done
in many regions for tho advantage of the whole
ton of American enterprise would scarcely be COR
rect and would be sailing under false colofs as hc
American firms would lind the enterprise. and Eng
lishnen would find the money against their VIII.
We say, let us have orr money. and let those who
wish TO display enterprise employ their own money
and not ours am, sir. your obedient servant

visit paid to Mr. Barrow, the Newmarket veterin-
AIRY surgeon for the purpose of asking his opinion
ia general way, upon American horses and their
acclimatzation. That gentleman had either got out
OF bed the wrong side or else he particularly
irascible old fellow, for before simple question
could be propounded he broke out about as fol-
lows:-
Il know what you are You are one of these news
paper fellows who so smelling about, and you want
to pump me about my employers horses and then
you'll publish what say. 1t is piece OF gross i'm
pertinence What do you take me for?'
Il take you - be a gentleman who viii at least
answer a civil question, and II for professionals
reasons he cannot do will ut least say without
abusing the questoner."
This somewhat toned down tho autocrGt, and ne
replied. We'll, what do you want to known
will you please say, Mr.. Barrow, whether American
horses adapt themselves readily to our climate;
whether they more liable to colds ana chest CON-
plants. and If SO, the general resuits!
THAT, sir, is guinea but have no time TO give
to you. My lunch is waiting and getting cold. and
think yon are taking gross liberty IN coming 10 see
me at all. Why no man in England would have
dared to ask me such questions and you, perfect
stranger from America do it,"
hungry Englishman is truly an angry one; but
still, to be browbeaten another trial was made.
Please understand Mr. Barrow. reference is made
to particular horse or horses under your charge
and all that would DO said in the New YORK HERALD
would be according to your reply something to this
mary. is OF the opinion that the American horses
thrive equally well with native bred ones"
...That they are not more liable to pulmonary
complaints 80
.Wcll:
"But that they like other horses when affected by
cold must chance of recovering, and that, IL
seriously affected they seldom recover their
full powers of speed and stamina"
There you would have been entirely wrong"
THANK you, Mr.. Barrow. Good morning. and so
that he could only look in asonishment at his ques
