which, coming from such a source, must
be considered as very remarkable to say
the least. The fears expressed by the

idle as the wind, while its splendid tribute
to his speech at Cooper Institute and great

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with

gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians

TO a careful aud attentive reader OF Mf'
Hayes veto Ct the Army Appropriation bill the
only two points 10 it about which there can DC
any conceivable doubt, and they were reiterated
during the debate on the bill, are those rclat-
;oe to the conflict that would exist between
the rJ,isions of the bill and the laws remain
iop on the statute b,ok-tho latter giviog the
President authority which the former denies
and to the exclusive aud supreme power OF tho
House Of Representatives to place such re-
st,ictions on the expenditure of the money 10
tho Treasury az it may think FIT. That part
of his argument based upon tho ground that
the proposed repeal Of the obnoxious statute is
unnecessary, inasmuch as the statute - prac
,ically imperative, is no argument at all, ttr II
what he says be true why should he veto 8
necessary appropriation bill for so slight mat
ter? That the section ct the Constitution au'
thorizing Congress to change the time, place
and manner Of holding elections for members
Of the House, conferred upon it the power OF
statopiug troops at the polls is, 10 the light of
the days when the Constitution was Nrlttep, and
With knowledge of the men who wrote it, too
absurd to req lirs notice, aud his reference to
the reform he would iuaugurate is ridiculous
when his other efforts 10 that direction arc re-
membered. But uusubstautial as ar, these lat.
ter assigned reasons, they appear 90 whit weaker
than the Two to which We have referred as be-
ing doubtful when they arc calmly aud delib'
eratey considered, fer if thereis anything plaio
10 law it is that the last enacted statute % aDy
subject supercedes oil that have preceded it; but
even ifthis were not so the Presidents Of cotton
could be ob7iated by the simple addition to The
bill cf the words 'aud all acts or parts of acts
inconsistent with this act arc hereby repealed"
With refererc, to restrictions upon The expen
diture eff the money 10 the treasury, the whole
theory Of the government, and OF that of our
kin across the sea, shows that the power of
imposing such restrictions lies with the chosen
representatives Of the people from whom that
money is cx scted in the shape Of taxes, aud
that the people would relirquish their chief
safeguard were they TO surrender it. 10 CON
sideriDg the Presidents veto u,-s,oea it should
