in respect TO the bill before me. The argu-
ments urged in these communications against
the repeal of the election laws. and
against the right of Congress to deprive the
Executive of that separate and Independent
discretion and Judgment, which the Consli-
tuition conierS and REQUIRES, are cquallycogcnt
in opposition to this bill This measure
leaves the powers and duties of Supervisors
of Elections untouched. The compensation
of those officers is provided for under per
mancnt laws. and no liability for which an
appropriation is now required would there
fore be incurred hy their appointment. But
the power of the National Government to
protect them in the discharge of their duty
at the polls would he taken away. The
States may employ both civil and military
power al elections, hut by this bill even the
evil authority 10 protect Congressional
elections is denied To the United States The
Object is to prevent any adequate control by
the United States over national elections by
forl'idding the payment of Deputy Mar
Slials, the officers who are clothed with au-
thority to enlorc the election laws The
fact that these laws are deemed objection
able by a majority of both houses of Congress
is urged as sufficient warrant for this legis-
latiOn. There are two lawful ways to over
turn legislative cnactments. One is their
repeal, the other is the decision of compe-
tent tribunal against their validity. The
effect of this bill is to deprive the Executive
Department of the Government of the means
to execute laws which are not repealed,
which have not been declared invalid, and
which it is therefore the duty of the execu-
tive and every other department of the
Government to obey and enforce.
have in my former message on this sub
iect expressed willingness TO concur in
suitable amendments for the improvement
of the election laws, but cannot consent
to their absolute and entire repeal and |
cannot approve legislation which seeks to
prevent their enforcement

The Democratic majority of Congress
have been forced to pass Legislative bill
free from all political features. They have
been compelled to pass an Army bill which
the President accepts as not interfering with
his rightful powers. The only remaining
question is whether, having failed to repeal
the election laws, they shall succeed in null
flying them; and, in the face of the Presi-
dents fourth veto, they have no alternative
but to back down from this last position.
Their programme is to divide the Judicial
Appropriation bill. Bill number one, con-
tanning all of the old bill, with the exception
of the pay of marshals and the prohibitory
sections, will be seasoned with the repeal of the
jury test oath, which will enable the South
ern last ditchers' 10 swallow it. Then will
come bill number two, appropriating $780,
900 for the pay of marshals, with restrict
i've clause making it impossible to use any
of this money for the pay of deputy mar
shals. Should this bill be vetoed and Congress
adjourn, the President will probably not con-
slider it of sufficient importance 10 warrant
the calling of another extra session.

Wood turning to Cox said: Where is the

this time had preserved perfect compostre,
began to weaken and show signs OF fright.
Great beads of perspiration stood out on his
brow, his limbs shook like aspen leaves, ms
knees refused to bear the weight OF his body.
and it was with difficulty that he was pre-
vented from falling to the floor After Il
few moments spent in collecting his thoughts,
Cox opened his mouth, but no words came
forth. Officer Wood said My man, you
have got Yourself into n bad hoX; now come,
own up like man, and tell us where the
rest of the jewelry is After short pause
Cox said, ''Well. | suppose might as well
tell the whole truth now, for a lie wont help
me-" He then went on and said that he was
passing along the street where he formerly
lived on the night of Tuesday, June 10,
about midnight, when he discovered that the
front window nearest the hall door OF Dr.
Hull's house was open. The impulse seized
him on the instant to enter 1t was but the
work of moment to mount up the high
stoop and step into the front parlor. As
soon rs he had gained an entrance he closed
and bolted the window, and then began the

to call for help, which he stopped imme-
diately by placing his hand over her mouth
so closely as TO prevent her from raising an
alarm. She struggled as well as she could,
but he being very much more powerful was
able to prevent her purpose, and he held her
down, with her mouth and nostrils closed,
until she became perfectly quiet. Satisfying
himself that she was insensible and helpless.
he lighted the candle which he had brought
with him in his pocket. and proceeded to

BAlLooNING is not yet Il fine art, and many
are the trihulations Of those engaged in it.
The latest experiment in it was that of Grim
ley and New York Herald reporter, who
started on Saturday afternoon from Montreal
with the intention of taking the airline
straight to New York; hut before they had
journeycd far they discovered that the gas was
had and would not long sustain the balloon,
even though they were travelling il the right
direction to reach their destination. Next
they discovered that in the hurry Of depart
urc they had neglected to attach an anchor TO
the car, and an anchor is just as important TO
an air-ship in landing as il is To Il vessel en-
tering port. The balloon was going at the
rate Of Il mile Il minute when the descent
came in wood. Ballast was thrown out as
rapidly rs possible, but still the balloon
swept the tree tops, breaking the limbs of
like pipc-stems. and knocking the men about
in the car in 4 reckless manner. Grimley sciz-
cd the valve-rope to discharge the sgIS as they
reached Il cleared field hui the rope broke,
and then the men had to climb up in the
netting To open the valve, which they final
ly succeeded in doing But even now their
fearful experience WAS not over. for in dis
charging the balloon Of gas Grimlry inhaled
so much Of the volatile fluid as to become
aSphyxiaied and it was only with great dif-
ticulty that his companions restored him to
consciousness.

small account when compared with this dis

The New York TjHicE Washington cores
pOndent calls attention to fact which illus
trates anew the meanness of the Democrats
in the fight over the appropriation bills Tho
per diem Of the members Of both Houses was
provided for in the legislative bill which has
been approved, so that their pay is secure IN
any event. Should the supplemental judi
cial bill finally fail, the court. will be closed,
and incalculable trouble and expense ensue,
hut the Congressman can pocket their pay
just the same. This little game is in perfect
accord with all the doings of the present
Congress.
THE Washington RtpuJlicdA has been
forecasting the probable number and allot-
mcnt of Representatives in Congress under the
next apportionment. Estimating the popu-
lation Of the country in the 1880 at 46,500,
900, it estimates the Representatives at 800.
The Southern States, it thinks, will lose
seven, while the Northern States will gain
81, making a net gain of "A; Texas and
Missouri will each gain three, while the other
Souther States will lose 13 Assuming that
the number Of Representatives will be 300,
the Republican assigns 213 Representatives
to the Northern States and 81 to the South
ern States. According to this estimate, the
strength of the Northern States in the Eles-
tOral College will he 257, while that of the
Southern States will be only 10. Iowa and
Kansas will gain four. Representatives each,
Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota three each,
Nebraska two, and Wisconsin one. One
reason why Southern politicians are 50 exer-
cised over the negro exodus is its direct
hearing on the representation of the section
in Congress and in the Electoral College.
