Resolved, That by the death of viii
liam II. Morris this company has lost a
valuable member and one who ever main
tanned strong claim upon our friendship

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN: MORNING. FEBRUARY 1879

All in all the show is very good one, is
enjoyable to the audience and creditable to
the performers. The same programme was
repeated last evening to a tull house, and
will be continued until further notice.
1t is a fortunate thing for the tax-pay-
ers Of Alexander county, that the poorer
class Of our colored population will suffer
extreme hunger and every conceivable de-
privation before they will permit themselves
10 become the pauper charges OF the county.
were they as ready to take advantage Of
our poor laws pc the whites are, our expen-
ditrlres on account of paupcrs would be
doubled IN less than six months; but they
shrink from the very idea of the poor house,
as from horror. A case in point is the fol-
lowing; In the upper part of the
city, on Twenty-eigth street, is a
colored woman, known as "Aunt
Mary" who, for period Of two
or three months, has been suffering the tor
lures Of continuous death, from an attack
of inhammatory rheumatism She is unable
to turn herself in bed, and shrieksand cries
from the intensity of her pains until her
vocal organs absolutely refuse to do further
duty. During all those two or three months,
her daughter, whose name is Whey, has
stayed, with more than daughters devo-
ton, by her bedside constantly, obtainingn no
sleep but that which overcamc her while
sitting in her chair. The last cent of
money was expended for food many
weeks ago, and both mother and daughter,
governed by foolish pride, declined to
make their dcstitution known, and had en-
tered upon course of absolute starvation
A generous hearted neighbor, happening to
call to see the sick woman, discovered that
there was not mouthful of any kind OF
food in the house, and, by adroit question
ing, succeeded in finding out that the
women were equally destitute of money.
For a period of two or three weeks the
generous, hearted neighbor supplied the suf-
ering invalid with TODD once every day, until,
from wading through the snow and mud
to reach the house, she, too, was taken sick
| and now, for week or more, has been I'M
able to leave hor bed. Deprived of this
! charity, the family is again suffering for
the commonest necessaries. The girl Is a
good and willing worker, but cannot leave
her mothers side for a single hour; there
are no men folks to depend upon and unless
help from the neighbors is actually volun-
tered, we firmly believe that both mother
and daughter would starve to death, before
they would beg, or go upon the streets and
tell their story Of want and restitution.

Three Preachers.

Though Mr.. MoY jim KEE, the converted
Chinaman, Is only Christian novice, and
has thus early in his Christian career fallen
from grace. lac displays spirit of resigna-
tion in his affection which puts TO the blush
the impaticncc under detection in scam
dalous offences Of ministerial wrongdocrs
who from their youth up have been taught
out OF the New Testament. He does not
reyilc his acouscrs as they do, and he ac-
ccpts his punishment as a Christening in
tended for his good. Surely that is the
true Christian temper whether MoY JIN
KEE acquired it under the system Of Cox
FUcIUs, in which he was reared, or in that
of CHRIST. To which he was lately converted.
When BEECHER's adultery was found out,
he was in mortal fear Of public disgrace,
thoughho had formany yearsbcen preaching
the Christian duty Of bearing with patience
the stripes which wickcducss earns, and that
sin is sure TO get its punishment, either hero
or hereafter. How much better il would have
been for him TO undergo n few years Of re-
proach ON earth than TO pass an eternity Of
torment Yet he spent 100000 in trying To
escape tho consequences Of his guilt, and
did not hesitate at perjury to save his tenn
poral reputation, leaving the future life to
take caro- Of itself II was plain enough that
he was ready to risk his eternal salvation to
keep lis earthly income and earthly posi-
tion. when his accusers brought him 70
bay, he turned on them ike an angry beast
ana if the doctrines OF religion which he
breaches are true, by that conduct alone
he forfeited eternal bliss.
TALMAGE, too, when he was caught in
trying to raise money by false prctences,
instead of humhling himself before Con and
man as he was taught TO do in the New Tes-
lament, asked nobody's forgiveness, but
presented an impudent front TO his accus-
crs, and dared thom to convict him. And he
has found his disregard of the principles he
teaches turn out 10 his temporary adyan-
tagc, certainly. llo got of from punish
mont and was able to iecr at the Prcsbytc-
rinn jurors who voted that he was guilty.
He retains his big salary and keeps ON

Chiunman, and who until lately had no

In his late veto message Mr.. HAYES
says great deal about national cleo
tions" What does he mean? 1t might be
supposed from his language that the prnei-
pal business for which the Federal Govern
ment had been created was to look after the
elections. But let us sec.
What has Congress or the President TO do
with an election for President? Simply
nothing. The Constitution says: Each
State shall appoint, in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct, number Of
electors"
What have they TO do with Congressional
elections? Next to nothing. The Constitu-
ton says "The times, places, and manner
OF holding elections for Senators and Repre-
sentatives shall be- prescribed I'm each State
by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress
may at any time by law make or alter such
regulations, except rs to the places Of
choosing Senators" Upon n strained con-
struction Of this language, giving TO Con-
gress concurrent jurisdiction with tho
States, guarded and limited as it is, is based
the whole of the Republican election ma
chnery, supervisors and marshals, costing
the people unknown sums, and terrorizing
and obstructing them, not only at Con-
gressional elections but at other elections
which are held Mt the same times and
places But nobody has ever yet claimed
that this provision Of the Constitution au-
thorlzes the President to send troops TO the
polls and hold bayonct elections.
HAYES prctcnds to think that a statute
which forbids him TO order soldiers to the
polls, abridges in some mysterious manner
the power Of the Government TO protect
itself or to execute its laws. Now, in Great
Britain this same law is fundamental. No
soldier or body Of soldiers can be brought
within certain distance Of any polling
place, but nobody ever imagined that the
British Government was weakened thereby.
On tho contrary, it is strengthened as all
Governments are strong which rest on the
assent and live in the affections 81 the
people. This curious idea of Mr.. HAYES will
provoke a smile Of contempt among the
frecmen Of old England, whore the appear
ance of any portion of the army at polling
place would be regarded as an act of trca-
son on the part Of the Ministry by whom it
was either ordered or permitted
There is in the message deal OF Illogical
and nconeequcntial twaddle about the laws
which have, from time to time, authorized
the President to employ the armed forces OF
the United States TO assist the civil author.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-05-17

tiles to execute the laws. Tho sum OF IL all
l. this: Upon the call Of the Legislature or
Executive of any State, the President may
send the army into that state TO protect it
from destruction by invasion or insurrcc-
ton. That is all he can do in case Of resist
ancc 10 state laws ; II is the beginning and the
end Of his power. But when the laws Of the
United States are opposed and obstructod by
combinations too powerful to be dealt with
by the civil authority, he may, upon ccrtih-
cation OF the fact. employ the whole military
force of the United Stntcs 70 put down tho
insurrccton. But in both cases, whether
the opposition I've to tho laws Of n State or
Of the United States. the military arm can
bc raised only TO overcome resistance which
has reached the proportions Of insurrcction
or invasion. All else Is a moro abuse. But
nowhere do we find any constitutional power
to station soldiers at tho polls, even in times
" invasion or Instruction. That, at least,
is unlawful at all times and under all cir
cumetanccs; and HAYES rrctcnce that the
right TO 90 50 IL necessary to the due cxccu-
tion Of any law Of the United States is, like
HAYES himself. n mere fraud.

perhaps. n better chance for study. as He

said, Forgive me, Mr. PARKE. Bad got

During his sojourn in prison MoY JfN KrE
will have an opportunity To get out the bad,
and II he succeeds in doing it, Of what
slight account are his temporary bonds
compared with the eternal freedom and joy
he will earn
Is not the Chinaman then better Chris
tan and more consistent one than the
Brooklyn preachers and thousands OF other
preachers and dcacons who are worrying
over earthly affairs as II they were Of prime
consequence and who would risk their
heaven to escape disgrace? They act rs II
there were no promises OF rccompcnsc for
trials patiently borne, and no punishment
for offences unatOncd for, though they are
ready enough To point them out to other
people. MoY JIM KEE, however. has conf
dencc in the Lord. and cXults in his cell,
whore he may better iit himself for heaven
than II he were abroad among mon.
Yet the probabilities are that MoY JIN
KEE will lose his cue and his handsome silk
blouse, and wear n striped suit at Sing Sing
while BEEcHER and TALMAGE will keep up
the preaching OF the Gospel thcy have set at
naught. and in whose prcccpts the China

A Hint TO that Eminent APOSTLE OF Civil Ser
vice Reform. Mr.. CnrI Schnrk.

WASHINGTON. May 16.-Surprise is ex-
pressed IN official circles that Carl SEIZURE. the
eminent apostle OF civil service reform. has not
suspended +. A. Hayt. or granted him tempo
rary leave Of absence. Hayt is Indian Com
missioner He was recently indicted as n party
to the criminal mismanagcment Of tho lnterna-
tional Trust Company OF Jersey City. 1t Is not
customary for public officers particularly chiefs
81 important bureaus. to be under indictment.
Neither is 1t customary to permit servants Of
the Government who have been indicted. to
continue in tho discharge of official duties
while the Indictment is pending. Grant who
was not n reiormer, suspended Babcock when
that person was indicted for completely in tho
whiskey frauds. John Sherman who thinks
that civil service reform is nonsense. promptly
suspended Supervising Architect II W when he
was indicted. Mr. Hayt spends much. II not tho
greater part, Of his time out of Washington.
His absence from the Interior Department until
his trial occurs would not impair the efficiency
OF the Indian service.
