THE Republican continues to call the
Democratic Congress "Rebel Congress"
1t says that in proving that majority of
the members from the South were once
in the rebel army, that, therefore, it has
proved that Congress is "Rebel Con-
gress !" and it is induced to continue to
argue on this line because it finds it pro-
titable and it is sustained by large acqul-
sitions to Its circulation. That is to say
that the people approve OF its falsehoods,
and pay for being misled. 1t continues,
then, because it is thus paid. "Ephraim
is joined to his idols"

Col. W. FISK TOWNSEND called at
the GAZETTE Office this morning. He
denied that he had absconded or that he
had defaulted i'll any amount to the State.
we asked hlm TO write his denial: to
sign it and we would publish it. This
he refused to do, or to sign anything
He said he had resigned and would not
hold political office again upon any ac-
count. He said he was going to Georpe.
town on the noon train. His son was
with him. After considerable conversa-
tion we told the Colonel that as he re-
fused to write his denial we would do il
for him, and that it would be about as
follows That the draft drawn on a
Philadelphia bank had not been maid :.
that he had not left the State that he
did not owe the State dollar that those
who had gone on his bond had been in
demnified, and that lie had resigned his
Office, formally rendering lis resignation
to the Governor. To all this Col. Tnwn.
send assented. IL was said bv one ot
those ia our office that the Colonel had
been drinking. We did not perceive 1t,
if he lad. Being somewhat his senior
we attempted some advice, which was not
received unkind,y. Col. Townsend left
the office apparently well satisfied that
he could explain all his acts to his friend.
and justify himself in bis own paper
which he said he intended to do.

THE Albany argus, in an article head
ed "1he Story ofa Crime" proves most
conclusiyely that the jury test oath law
was repealed by Congress and that it was
through "raseality" that the law was in
corporated into the U. IS. Revised statutes.
And it alleges that this crime was the
work Of Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts, the
chief reyiser, and Edmunds, of TT,
chairman of the judiciary committee
"Ihe others III the conspiracy have not
been clearly or fully ascertained, but the
ineilable villainy Of the proceeding has
led to the suspicion tl.at John Sherman
and Jos. p. Bradley would feel gravely
wronged if they were denied participation
in il. 1t was trick IN which forgery
perjury and imposition Oh Congress ert
involved"
The daily gazette., 1879-03-28
people and their interests that he is called

people and their interests that he is called
upon to consider. The Herald says:
at is not competent for the President
to veto an appropriation bill because IL
cont aims general legislation. If he dis
approves of such bill it must be on his
Judgment of its merits and not on his
opinion of the inexpediency of joining
incongruous measures in the same act of
legislation. Senator Hoar's vehement
speech can therefore have no influence on
the action of the President. Senator
Hoar's argument against this kind of
Jumping legislation is sound enough, but
IL is without force if addressed to the
President, because it is no proper ground
of veto, the methods of legislation
being beyond his power of review. If
he vetoes the bills it must be for some
other reasons than the union of unrelated
subjects. The engrafting of political
legislation on appropriation bills may
properly and. justly be questioned else
where, but it cannot be officially objected
to by the President.
If President Hayes vetoes the legisla-
tion which the Democratic caucus has
not be on objections of form, but of sub
stance. 1t will be his duty to examine
the conglomerate bills which are likely
to he sent to him with the same care and
the same candor as if the combined mea-
sures were presented separately and to be
governed by his judgment and his con-
science as to the action he will take upon
them.
"First, as to the Army Appropriation
bill. 1t is proposed to tack upon this re-
peal of the law allowing the presence of
troops at the polling places to preserve
order. We think such a repeal in such a
connection ridiculous, but that a veto OF
the Army Appropriation bin on this
ground would be still more ridiculous.
ave are confident lie will not veto the
Army Appropriation bill for reason so
utterly empty and frivolous.
'NcAt, as 10 the II eutTal ELECTION law.
The democratic caucus has not decided
to repeal it entirely, but only to amend
it. All that part of it which relates to cleo
tions outside of large cities is to stand, that
part Of it which relates to cities of twen-
ty thousand inhabitants and upward is
to be repealed. The supervisors of cleo
tlons i'll each election district are to be
continued, with the right TO examine and
report all he stages Of an election. This
will furnish to Congress ample means
for judging of the validity of the election
Of It's own members, and it is difficult to
see that any thing beyondthis is important.
II is propose to repeal those sections Of
the Revised Statutes which authorize the
appointment Of a chief supervisor of
| elections in cities Of not less than twenty
thousand Inhabitants and the appoint
lnent Of deputy malshals."

"DAvENroRr's JUDICIAL FUNCTIONS"
In referring to the Federal Elecuon

Gle says
at IS impossible to answer in detail
each Of the many questions which
are addressed to the WorM respecting
the Davenport election laws. The best
thing our correspondent can do is to write
to the Secretary of State at Washington
for copy of the late edition of the Unit
ed States Revised Statutes, which Mr.
Evarts is required by law to keep for sale
AT something like $3.50 for the volume,
and n few cents in addition for postage
The purchaser can then see for himself
with what intention Mr. Davenport
framed the law ofthe authorship of which
he boasts and which Republican Con-
gress adopted with becom ny alacrity.
"a deputy marshal or supervisor is
by the Davenport law empowered to de-
eide on view and on the spot when any
OF the above offenses is committed and
completed, and ARE st therefor. No
resistance Of authority, no spoken word
is requisite. A deputy marshal who never
saw statute book or read a statute in

DEPUTY MARsHAIs PRoNoENcED
UNNECESSARY BY A L. 5. MARsHAI.-
During the examination before the Wal
lace committee at Washington yesterday,
United States Marshal James NJ. Kerns.
in reply to Mr.. Hoar, whether in his
judgment the election would have been
safe from disorder and fraud without the
protection which he had described, wit
ness said lie believed ii would. In some
Of the precincts there would have been
danger Of fraud, in Others there would
not. He thought that as far as United
States supervisors and marshals were COLI
cerned the city Of Philadelphia could do
without them very well.
In reply to Mr. Cameron-The deputy
marshals were not eppointed until aft, r
the application for the appointment Of
supervisors. Would not have been an
pointed then but for such application =
No Republican applied for the appoint
ment Of supervisors. The supervisors
expenses amounted to S27,440.
