Trying to zsurs: 1t.

The English ordinance officials At
Woolwich, England, are trying hard
to burst the twin 3S- tons gun, in order
to find out how its fellow on board the
Thunderer came to explode. The ex-
pertinent is to take place, not in the
open, but in a great c Aanber Of earth
an! stone, which is being constructed
for the purpose. The theory is that
the cannon burst because it was double
loaded, and the chief end of TIE forth
coming trial is to ascertain whether
other cannon are liable to the same ac-
c;.Gut under the same conditions, or
whether this gun was simply a weak
er brother which could not stand the
extra pressure. 1t seems like a p}aG-
tieai Joke, for if the second gun bursts
there will be no proof that lis expo
sion was due, tothe. same cause as that
which operated in the case Of the first
and if it does not burst the fact that
the other one did will remain un,lter-
cl, The experiment is likely TO cost
the British Government $50, ,OQ9. -'

When saw two boyi,h comrades
On the snowy pavement meet.
| had often paused to watch them,
As they passed me, day by day,
Fog their pleasant faces won me,
As they came and went their way,
"Thcy are manly little fellows"
Often to myself | sail
And hoped their feet would follow
Where the best and hravc,t tread,
They had paused upon the pavement,
Where lUring light was cast
From gaiIy painted window,

Some wears since, in the Quaker
city two men went to law, as they
sometimes do in other cities.
One of them went to an attorney Of
his acquaintance, friend, to engage
hun for his case.
I am very so,ry. said the lawyer,
that | cannot serve you, but am re-
tair.ed on the other side.
After mutual regrets, the gentle"
man said:
Cant you recommend some MEM
Der of you: profession whom can en-
sase?'
OH yes, said Legstus, with great
pleasure.
So he took his pen and Wrote an in
PRODUCTION to a good brother of the
Bar, and after signing it, handed it to
the man, vino took it and started for
the lawyer, On the way he thought
he should like to know what was in
the note so he opened it, which read
after this fashion:
4 am happy to introduce to you
Mr.. A., a friend of mine, who
has applied to me to attend to his
case in court; | should have been
pleased to have done it, but am re-
tained on the other side, and have re.

The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-05-08

Senate, and yet the President, with an
exercise of unprecedented power, vetoes
this bill, thereby rendering the despotism
that of one man instead of that of Con-
gress. 1t makes this assumption of
power on the part Of Mr.. Hayes the
more appalling to compare it with the
past history of legislation in this coun-
try. His is the first veto of regular
appropriation bill since the foundation
of the government, and is also the first
veto of bill repeating an existing law.
All previous Presidents have held that
where majority of the American peo-
pie, by their representatives in Congress,
desired to repeal any law, that it was
unbecoming them to object to such re-
pesl. Not so with Mr.. Hayes. He
came into Office in defiance of majori'
ty of the American people, and is ever
willing to show his gratitude to the
usurping minority who placed him there
by continuing the defiance of the popu-
lar will. Taken altogether the message
shows an utter disregard for precedents,
a firmly settled purpose of usurpation,
an intensely partisan spirit and an aston
ishing lack of argument.

vests the President is trust that involves
a duty which l cannot decline to per-
form.
With firm and conscientious purpose
to do what l can to preserve unimpaired
the constitutional powers and equal in
dependence, not merely Of the executive,
but of every branch of the government
which will be imperilled by the adoption
of the principle Of this bill, desire
earnestly to urge upon the House of
Representatives return to the wise and
wholesome usage of the earlier days of
the Republic which excluded from ap-
preparation bills all irrelevant legislation.
BY this course you will inaugurate an
important reform in the method of Con-
gressional legislation. Your action will
be in harmony with the fundamental
principles of the constitution and the
patriotic sentiment of nationality which
is their firm support. and you will restore
to the country that feeling of confidence
and security and repose which are so es-
sential to the prosperity of all of our
fellow citizens.

further resort to any questionable means
for securing repeal Of these laws would
accomplish every purpose for which. tho
Republicans have labored through this
whole discussion.
Mr.. Evins further explained that
though the Southern Democrats did not
inaugurate this fight they will be held
responsible for all the consequences, aud
should now act with regard to this fact.
He agreed with Mr.. Bayard, he said, as to
the passage of these measures separately
at the outset until it was urged (by Ran
dali and others) that by iactious opposi-
ton the Republicans could prevent the
passage of the measures for months.
They 1.-THE Republicans declared in their
caucus that no legislation should be had
except the passage of the appropriation
bills without any riders, and that shut us
up to that mode of passing these meas
ures if we should attempt to pass them at
all.
CONGRESSMAN RICHARDSON
said: think it injudicious to express any
decided opinion in advance of the action
of the Democratic caucus, as / propose
to be controlled by its action. But l be-
lieve it would be we'll to pass, first, sep
arate bill prohibiting the use of United
States troops at the polls and of United
States marshals thereat, with power to
arrest without warrant and upon suspi-
cion, and thereby force the President to
commit himself to the policy of using
troops at the polls. He will veto that
bill and thereby place himself and his
party squarely before the country in fil-
ror of using United States troops at the
polls. Then we can after that consider
the question, what is to be done with the
army appropriation bill.
CONGRESSMAN AIKEN
thinks there should be no compromise
whatever with the opposition. The fight
has been made upon principle, and
should not be abandoned on any account.
If the Republicans are willing to repeal
the obnoxious laws in separate form, they
could just as we'll repeal them in their
present connection. They say openly
now that they have never agreed to pass
them separately. Garfield explains that
he did not say he would vote for the re-
peal of the eight words "to keep the
peace at the polls" but for the repeal Of
the whole statute in which these words
stand. TO repeal that statute would be
to give the President the very power
which is proposed to take away from
him, of sending troops to the polls under
cover of preventing disturbance" No
question Of mere policy should be con-
sidered for a moment; the Democrats
have asserted high principle, have
fought the fight of faith, and if it is nec-
essary now to test the peoples views,
every Democrat in Congress should re-
sign at once and appeal to the country.
This suggestion, as Mr.. Aiken remarked,
is not likely to be acted upon.
SENATOR HAMPTON
was engaged when I called upon him,
and remarked only that the feeling
among Conservative Southern men is
that the two measures should now be
passed separately for the purpose of test
ing the sincerity of the Republicans. The
Democrats can go before the country on
the issue if they refuse to allow them to
20 through.
