WASHINGTON, ApriI 80. I,

WASHINGTON, April 50, 1879.
EDIToR STATESMAN: Mr.. HAYES yes
terday vetoed the army appropriation bill.
His message is one that will be read with
alarm by thoughtful men everywhere. and
with astonishment by all when the politi-
cal events of this time have become his
tory. It enters into an elaborate aruu-
ment on the subject Of the powers Of
different branches of the government,
and arrives ut conclusions which, If ever
embodied III law or sanctioned by public
sentiment will make servants of the
people, instead of sovereigns, ard give to
| the executive vastcr and more dangerous
powers than any ruler can safely haze
1t has been the wish Of many democrats
that congress should, after the expected
veto, vote supplies for the government
sufficient to pay expenses until the regular
session, hut doubt ii votes enough can
now be had TO secure tha: action.
The publication of the veto message in
newspapers before It's reception by the
house was ais" a gross diseourtesy. The
half official hints Of its contents, given
out for the last two weeks, were, TO say
the least, in taste not heretofore found
at the white houss. On the whole, the
fraudulent president has both by the
matter of his message AMI the surround
ing circumstances, given the country
cause for alarm and shame. He has put
himself SD securely III the hands OF the
wcrst leaders of his party, that those
democrats who, inspired by foolish faith
IL his patriotic utterances, have eounseled
and advised with him, VIII of necessity
keep away from him hereafter
Today. probably debate will commence
on the legislative bill in the senate. 1t
Will, beyond doubt, be prolonged. AS
much of the army bill debate referred to
matters contained i'll the legislative bill,
So, in discussing the latter, senators will
have an opportunity, which they Will i'm
prove, t. express their views on the
actions, arguments and charges contained
in the veto of the army bill | look for
a long. able and most important deba,e.
Thee has been hints III the papers
! tia Secretary Sherman was ambitious
Of presidential hunors in 1889, and VAS
doing what he cnGid to magnify his
chances. There are gentlemen here from
the south who represent that the secre-
tary is very actively working in that sec
ton, and with considerable effect. Ii is
not likely, however, that even 50 shrewd
and rnscrupulnus polite an as Sherman
though backed by our mos important de-
partment, can overcome the strcns feel
ing Of radicals in the south in favor OF
Grant and Window 1t looks as if one
of these gentlemen was sure Of ''solid
south i'll the nominating convention
BIT whatever trickery can accomplish will
be done by Sherman.
Senator Logan, though in earlier lie
was willing to fight duels if the occasion
offered, says that he Will not meet Repre-
sentative Lowe, who has challenged him,
without entering into the merits of the
dispute between Senator Logan and Rep
resentatiye Lowe. | think most people
will sustain the former i'll his present
course. REx.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRIcA-Lord
Chelmsford does not appear to have m;.de
much advance towards regaining the laur-
els lost by him at isanduln The reports
from his headquarters are indeed any
thing but satisfactory Despite the rein
forcements sent TO him he appears inca
pable of taking the offensive, and 1t Is as
serted that he has not troops enough to
protect the frontier OF course this en-
barrassment will not fail - be commented
on by the enemies alike of England and
the government They will ask what
hope the country could have had of coping
with the enormous armies of Rassls, when
a petty Sonth African Chief can 50 effect
ually cripple its military strength: And
it must be admitted that the criticism is
not without point. For at the present
moment If is apparent that King Cete-
wayo Is SO absorbing the attention and
the military capacity CT England that she
could not venture upon war with con
tinental power, no matter under what
proyocation. Lord Chelmsford appears
to be one of those incapable commanders
who possesses a peculiar faculty Of using
up and wasting whatever forces are en-
trusted TO them. and who contrixe to do
nothing with a whole army corps, at the
same time they are wearing out the troops
Had Lord Napier of Magdala been sent to
South Africa there can be little doubt
that the affair would have been settled be-
fore this. and that Cetewsyo would have
been forced to make his submission. Eea-
consfeld, however, appears resolved to
keen Lord Chelmsford In the command
rather than acknowledge that be made a
mistake in selecting him, and the British
people are in fair way to pay very dearly
| for this piece of ministerial obstinacy.

MORMON FAxATIcIsM. Mormons
have recently been exhibiting the pecu-
liagit:es of their religion in a very pro
uounccd way Miles, one of their Elders
has been tried for bi.amy and convicted,
and the occasion has been seized 10 make
display Of hatred and hostility to the
federal government. Ii Is seriously to be
hoped that tie Normons viii not make
the conviction OF Miles an excuse for Sc
ceding from the Union, for though there
can be no doubt about the power of the
government t. cocrc" them, We fear the
moral effect Of the issue would be bad.
In these days of radical theory and lmpa-
tience of every kind Of control, 1t Is really
quite impossible to predict what the re-
suit would be Of a struggle over the ques
iion of the right of the citizen to marry
as many wives as he pleased particularly
if this proposition was complicated by
tl.ological dogmas. That the Mormons
would 60 to war in defense of polygamy
Is quite conceivable, and If they did they
wou.d doubtless fight tereeiy. But IL
may be doubted whether the United
States army could bc got to any pitch OF
enthusiasm over such an ISSUE, and as the
press would take up the question and dis
cuss it i'll all its bearing, it is even posi-
lIe that We should have pro-polygamy as
well as anti -polysamy factions in the
land. ,;ow everybody knows what Pope
has said abont Vice: that however hate
full at first, familiarity leads us to enter
tain far other sentiments towards 1T.
Might it not be the same with polygamy!

subject the kernel Of CONTROVERSY This
