involves the right TO compel the Execu-
tive to approve any legislation which
Congress may see ht to attach TO such
bills, under penalty OF refusing the
means needed to carry out essential
functions OF the government. My
views on these subjects have been suf-
ticiently presented IN special messages
sent by me TO the House OF Represen-
tatives during their present session.
What was said in those messages i re-
gard as conclusive as TO my duty in re-
spect 10 the bill before me. The argu-
ments presented in those communica-
tions against the repeal OF the election
laws, and against the right OF Congress
to deprive the Executive OF that sepa-
rate aud independent discretion and
Judgment which the constitution con-
fers and requires, are equally cogent in
opposition to this bill.
This measure leaves the powers and
duties OF supervisors Of elections un-
touched. The compensation Of those
officers is provided for under perma-
nent laws, and no liability for which
an appropriation is now required would
therefore be incurred by their appoint
ment: but the power of the national
government 10 protect them in the dis
charge of their duty at the polls would
be taken away. The states may en-
ploy both civil and military power at
elections, but by this bill even civil au-
thority to protect congressional cleo
tions is denied TO the United States.
The object Is 30 prevent any adequate
nnttNt,l L.. a.. Ifnsk.1 80
tional elections, by forbidding the pay
ment OF deputy marshals. the officers
who are clothed with authority TO en-
force the election laws.
The fact that these laws are deemed
Objectionable by the majority of both
houses OF Congress is urged as n suffi-
cient warrant for this legislation.
There are two lawful ways 10 overturn
legislative enactments. One is their
repeal, the other is the decision Of a
competent tribunal against their valid
ity. The effect OF this bill is TO deprive
the executive laws which are not re-
pealed. which have not been declared
invalid, and which 10 is therefore the
duty Of the executive and of every
other department Of the government
to obey and to enforce. have, in my
former messages on this subject, ex-
pressed willingness TO concur in suita-
BILE amendments for the improvement
OF the election laws; but cannot con-
sent to their absolute and entire repeal;
and / cannot approve legislation which
seeks TO prevent their enforcement.

Plenty Of Love but no Money.

following will attest:

Rochester, and Harriet Lucinda Will
son, OF Toledo. Roch ester aud Toledo
papers please copy.
The wedding was n quie. and excln-
sively private one, being attended on
ly by the bride and groom, the justice
and two Witnesses, aud brought about
in this way. One day, a week or two
ago, the justice was agreeably sur-
prised by the appearance at his Office
Of a couple who wished t. be united IN
the bonds Of wedlock. The justice
with FIVE dollar bill in his minds eve,
smiled one of his most happy smiles
as he arranged his candidates before
his bar for the simple ceremony.
"How old are your" said he 10 Jul
ius.
"Forty-eight years.
"And your" addressing the blushing
lady.
"I am forty"
The Justice always asks these ques-
uons 10 satisfy himself that the parties
intending to commit matrimony are Of
a proper and legal age. Satisfied on
this point the Justice proceeded to tie
the knot and extend his congratula-
tions.
How much is that job WORTH" was
the first question propounded by JUL

cred 10 put himself into shape.

"Well. you see, Julius and I met
each other on the train last night.

"Of course. That's the romance.
I I never knew there was such a man in

That's the way us western girls do;
when We love a man, We love him and
not his money, don't We Julius?"
Julius, who was overcome with the
sudden rush of love, could only smile
in reply.
"Well. well" said the justice, "you
are married?"
"We are.
"He has no money, and you say that
you have none?"
''Not cent, but Julius is good for
II, said fair the one, as she tapped the
ink'stand with the marriage certificate.
The justice saw his chance, and
quickly snatched the certificate from
the hand that was playing with il. -
Then there was scene. The groom
frowned and fumed, the bride plead
for her certificate, and the justice de-
manded his fee.
Give me five dollars and the paper
is yours.
"Do not be so cruel!" said she, 81 will
send the money when weget to Roch-
ester.
This is not cruelty; it is only lit
tie more romance for yon," said the
justice. "No fee, no certificate.
The unhappy. or rather happy pair,
seeing that promises and pleadings
we're alike in vain. gathered up their
robes aud departed.
The justice supposed he had seen the
last of them. and never expected to
hear of his missing fee again. 1t was
likely that with 40 much poverty the
rush of love would be be over before
they reached Rochester.
Wonders never ceasel A few days
after the above occurrence the Justice
was surprised by an envelope with a
Rochester post-mark on the corner.
The envelope contained five dollars and
a short note. In substance it read:
Enclosed find five dollars; send on the
certificate" The certificate was sent
to the address gwen, aud probably by
this time the Rochestrian julius Caesar
has discovered that there is something
besides romance in married life. MAY

day that yellow fever had broken out
IN Plaisance. Judge Fontenot attempted
to hold a term of his court, and we be-
lleve, failed. The public mind was in
no condition for court. People wanted
TO fe0re town, not came to town. The
town was liable to be stampcded at any
moment. More than once people left
town, because they thought, or feared,
yellow fever was already in our midst.
Country people thought it was safer to
pick cotton then, of which they had an
abundance, than to loaf about town.
We never saw the town frcer of loaf
ers since 1S7O-and then it was from the
same cause. To have held court before
the yellow fever panic was over, would
have been, if not impossible, cruel ;
many could not have been compelled to
attend, and the proceedings would have
been blocked every day; others would
have suffered at being held in place
where yellow fever might be lurking.
There is now no yellow fever, no cotton
to pick, and the ground is entirely too
wet for agricultural orcrations-so this
is the best time to hold court. But witlfa
some people everything goes wrong.
their own affairs included and as it is
not human nature to complain of them
selves, they groWl at others. We doubt
II those who were so anxious to have
court during yellow fever and cotton
picking, are now more than ready, if
they have cases before court,

"A reliable informant informs us that
not great distance in the past, in a
land net of pure delight, there lived IL
young couple, whose connubial bliss
seemed to consist in disagrcemcnts and
separations, the faircr and weaker YES
sci returning to the parental domicil.
This individual not seeing the wisdom of
this kind of matrimonial felicity, made
it known 10 her whom it most con-
ccrned that the next return to his roof
must be the last. In due course of time,
according to custom, the return took
place and there she uWcit longer than
usua convincing her parental protcc-
tor, by this earnest, that her stay was
to be permanent. Legal proceedings
were instituted now to recover from

had been advanced to the happy couple,

married and he, taking fright at this,

District C0nrf,

The term of the District Court, calle,
for the 11th of November, having failed
owing to the rigid quarantine, and vel
low fever in the parish, Judge Hudspetl
issued an order convening special
term for the 18th of January-thc earli
est time practical to hold 1t. ..
On Monday, notwithstanding the in.
clemepcy Of the weather, the attendance
was large. The grand jury, with r. J.
Z. Bull as foreman, was empannelled
and went to work. We publish a report
of court proceedings in this issue. There
is a light docket, both of civil and crim-
nal cases, and if they are not all dis
posed of in three weeks, it will hardly
be the fault of the officers of court.
AS the failure to hold the term in No.
vember has given rise to some comment,
it is bqt fair to say that the Judge and
District Attorney were not then present,
because the former, absent in Virginia,
had received kilograms stating that
yellow fever had broken out in the
parish, and q request, signed by q ma
iiority of our lawyers, asking him not to
hold court at that time. One of these
dispatches, received at Linchburg, Va,
on October 9sd, when lie was ready to
start home, sent by Dr.. W. A. Robertson
says: "Yellow fever in Washington

The fclEoV-EcVcr Commission

, This commission protesting to have
done its work has left New Orleans
We have of course the right to examine
/ the results of an expensive inquiry
! the ostcnsble object of which was tc
investigate the causes of yellow fever
and prevent it's recurrence.
As far as we can understand, however
the commissioners beginning with the
two inquiries "What are the causes
of yellow fevcr,' and how is it to be
avcrtcd have travelled in a circle back
to the original questioned unanswered,
and apparently unanswerahlc. Ofconrse
hundreds of theories were aired in this
investigation. There were advocates
Of DIR. Richardson's peculiar groupings
of the yellow fever organisms (bac-
terra sanguin) there were those who
opposed it, and the germ theory in toto.
There were learned doctors, who insisted
that the fever was indigenous to Lou
isiana, and others who qualified it by
explaining that in certain atmospheric
conditions of the State, one ease of
yellow fever, or one infected garment
would be like a match set to train of
gunpower. There were learned disser-
tation upon specific symptoms of the
plague, but neither the groupings of
blood organisms, nor their action on
the human system touched upon the
vital question how they got there and
what produced them" We were told
how the fire burned, but not what
lighted it or how it was to be cxtin=
gnisled. We were made to see the
progress OF tie life thief, but not shown
how to bar the door against it. In fact
the quarantine and antiqnarantinc adj
yocatcs seemed to have worked them
selves into snarl so very intricate that
at times they apparently changed places.
This commission, like all commissions,
has thrown no light on this suljuct of
vital interest to the people of the South.
In fact, it has only made more evident
to the masses, the little that is really
known of the origin OF the devastating
plague. 1t has shown too that physiolo-
gical science alone will never solve the
enigma. There must be % combination
of scientific forces, which will inyesti-
gate the atmospherical phenomena,
which precedcs, and accompanies an
epidemic. Chemical science must work
at the bedside of the patient, to detect
The quality of the poison i'll the house
of life and what combination of agents
Produced it. In fact this evil can only
oe attacked by united FORCES, having
he siege Of the same citadel in view
'et dividing their labors so as to do so
most etfectually.
Without resortins to science, we in
)peleusas knew exactly how to keep
he yell0w-fcyer from us by strict quar-
'ntine, and we will not quit our ground
If vantage for the "ipse dixit' of any
number of learned men, who oppose it.
The experience of more than one epi-
lemic has shown lis that the fever can
'e kept away by proper precautions.
We believe moreover that Opelousas is
uch an exceptional healthy town, SO
rec from malaria or malarious causes,
hat even IT tie fever was imported it
