Another Veto.

President Hayes sent to the House on the
18th inst. message vetoing the bill relative
TO military interference at the polls. 1t is a
shorter paper than the message on the Army
Appropriation bill. The two main grounds
of the veto are that the bill repeats, or
rather nullifes, for all days OF general
or special elections in several states
laws OF great importance which con-
fer the right upon the President to
use the militia, army, and navy in enforc.
ing the laws and preserving the peace. The
particular acts named are those of 1892,
1875, 1866, 1888, and July 10, 1861 Each Of
these laws was passed to meet an incipient
rebellion and to enable the president to
promptly take such steps as would restore
peace and preserve national authority.
These acts were called out by such events in
our history as the Pennsylvania whisky re-
bellion, the Dorr rebellion, the Aaron Burr
conspiracy, the South Carolina null
LITIGATION, the great rebellion, and the laws
passed, after it was crushed, TO enforce the
rights of citizens. These laws, in general,
give the president the right, and make it
his duty, TO call out such portions of the
militia, army and navy as may be needed
whenever the execution of the laws shall be
obstructed in any state by combination
too powerful to be suppressed by the ordi-
nary course of judicial proceedings. Under
the act OF 1892, and others, including the
act of 1888, 1t is sufficient that the president
be notified OF such situation of affairs by
the assistant justice or district iddge.
The suspension of all power to execute
these various laws in any one state on the
days of national or state election is held
by the president to be sufficient ground on
which to veto the bin. The second OF the
main objections of the president to the bill
is that this act is a clipping away of the
power of the national government and that
its tendency is to strengthen state sover-
eighty at the expense OF the general gov
eminent.

Kidnapped.

Our latest files of London papers re-
port curious story that was lately
going the rounds of the French press.
1t furnishes material for at least two
acts of modern sensational drama:
Four years ago tailor married the
daughter of an artillery colonel, and
lived happily with her for a twelve
month, at the end of which period he
went Tor few days to Belgium on bust
ness. On his return the wife was no.
where to be found, but a month later
the tailor and his friends recognized her,
as they imagined, in the corpse Of a
young woman who had been picked up
at Auteuil. Unable any longer to con-
tinue in Paris, the tailor went to New
York, where two years afterwards. he
married again. In the month of Janu-
airy the new couple came to Paris, and
rented an apartment in Avenue Fried
land. Last Wednesday, as the tailor
walking the Champs Elysees, he saw a
lady who looked marveIously like his
first wife driving a handsome equipage,
and, hiring cab, he followed her to 8
hotel in the Avenue D'Eylau. There an
explanation took place. 1t was indeed
his wife, who declared that she had been
kidnapped and kept in ignoble seclusion
for three months by a man whose name
she had never been able to ascertain.
When free she had learned to her sorrow
that her husband had gone to America,
and, not daring to return to her rela
tlves, she had entered a dressmaker's
and 50 on. Inquiries are
now being set on foot in order to discov-
er, If possible, who the kidnapper was.

Intelligence in a Bullock.

An Australian paper relates the follow
ing striking instance of brute intel
llgence, which occurred not long ago
near Nairue township, in south Aus
tralia: A very large bullock injured
his eye when unyoked from the draw, by
a chain, the hook of which lacerated the
eye. After few days had passed the
eye became seriously infamed, and it
was thought advisable to get him into
the stock yard and cast him for the pur-
pose of dressing the wound. This was
done by ropes being attached to his legs.
but 1t was found of no avail, from the
strength of the animal, for as soon "a
they attempted to throw him he lifted
his leg and pulled the men to the ground.
As a last resource they put his head in
the bail, continuance frequently used
III that country for securing animals, by
getting their necks between two upright
bars OF wood, one of which is movable at
pleasure. Having thus succeeded in
securing him, they dressed his eye with
bluestOne. The men unbailed the bull
lock and Immediately rushed out of the
stock yard, thinking the animal would
be Infatuated with pain, and expected to
be attacked, instead of which the poor
sufferer walked of to the shade of large
gum tree, and, on the following morn
ing, much to the astonishment of its
owner and all who witnessed it. the
bullock walked up the stock yard of its
own accord, and placed his head in the
bail to have bis eye dressed; and this he
repeated every morning till the eye was
quite restored,
