A Weak Point.

A critical examination Of the latest We
to message has discovered a rotten spot
ia it, which reflects great discredit upon
Its author, who is reported to be General
Garfield. In the Message the President
says: "Tbe failure of Congress to make
the appropriations required for the exc
oution Of the provisions of the Election
Laws would not prevent their enforce
ment; = that the right and duty to appoin,
the Marsbals which they provide for
would remain, and the Executive Depart
ment OF the Government would also be
empowered to incur the requisite liability
for their compensation. Senstors Bayard
and Beck says specifically that this is
not 50, but that the Executive Depart
msnt is prohibited from doing any thing
of the sort by section 1879, OF the Re-
vised Statutes, which reads as 70 lows
mo department of the Government shall
expend in any one fiscal year any sum 10
excess OF the appropriations made by
Congress for that fiscal year, or involve
the Government in any contract for the
future payment OF money in excess o,
such appropriations" What makes the
matter worse, the President quoted this
very law in his message just before ma
king the assertion cited above, and 80 be
sinned with bis eyes open. Farther-
more, TO sustain one OF HE positions,
the President quoted section S733, an &C,
Of 1851, which was repealed by the very
act OF 1870: (sectiou 3679) which be
quoted along side OF it, and it was pu,
back in the revised statutes by fraud. In
other words, the President says be car
do whst the law says he-can not do, and
quotes afraudulent enactment to sustain
his position. s

LONDON, June i5.--Apprehensions re-
speeding the condition Of the Empress

dispatches yesterday, have become still

If Mr.. Hayes, or the man who pre-
pared the insult which WAS flung at Con-
gress and the people yesterday, had been
accustomed to write for modern news
payer he would have said all that the
veto message contained in ten or dox-
en- lines, which would have read like
this: "It is the duty Of the Executive
to enforce all laws. There Il. q Law re-
qulring the appointment! of Deputy Mar
shals under certain prescribed condi-
tions. This bill deprives the Executive
OF the means of enforcing that provis.
ion of the statutes; therefore, l can no,

message Mr.. Hayes plants himself on
the highest of high moral grounds, as il
the more forcibly to remind the country

where he is, and from that altitude ir

We certainly favor the restriction while
the Republicans control the army ,as they
have ssdly abused the trust, and that 1i-
