DELHI AMONG THE FTsM.
The Return of n scouru- that Visited the
PassnIc River Inst Year.

Near Paterson the Passaic River for
week past has yielded up dead fish that float
with the current for while and then are
thrown upon the river banks. In n similar way
last summer FISH died in the river. and through
out july and August made the ncighhorhood Of
the river banks offensive. Then the dead fish
we're collected 10y eddies in the river. and the
lowering Of the water in August 1t is said left
then on the banks in cartloads in some places
Thu Passaic Falls is above the city Of Paterson.
and thence the city gets It's water supply for do
nestle uses. Ordinarily the water is sparkling
and It's analysis shows n wonderful purity for
river water Newark also is partly supplied
with water from the Passaic Jersey City gets
the same water through AN aqueduct across tho
Hackensack River
Residents II Paterson say that the rst scource
began last year much in the same way that ii
did last week. A committee OF citizens tried TO
find out whether the cause OF the fishes deuth
siik. cotton. and wool dyeing establishments
strung along the river bank In Paterson. Among
tho chemical substances in use for dyeing are
chorate o. potash. prussiate OF potash, and con
peras. The dyes discharged through the city 5
sewers into the stream ut times streak the winter
with blue or brown, red or black. and some
times tho surface Is rs white as though snow
had fallen and stayed upon the river. II the
dyes kill fish. the dyers nsk, why don't the
fish die all the year round d? In late spring
md summer only the fish die in large numbers.
This conundrum remains n poser to the Pater-
s0nians; but an interview with any one of the
residents. for tho purpose Of learning what is
the reason assigned for the mortality among
the fish. Is invariably ended by the cautious re-
ply; Well. it's said that the dye stuff kills
EN-"
IL IL noticeable that the fish that die are al
most invariably the females. The. Paterson
anglers. who dangle their legs from the bridges
and fish with cork on the line 70 indicate the
proper amount Tor yanking up. say also that
are suckers. The reminder are sinners and
an occasional pickerel, bass. or eel. Ii Is sug-
gested that the dye stuffs have driven the fish
down stream. and that the instinct OF the ie-
male in early summer leads her to swim I'M
stream into secluded places. where she meets
the fatal dyes.
The greatest mortality in tho 1nny tribe this
year has been two miles below Paterson in and
below Dundee Lake n body OF water formed by

The Audacity of Mr.. Hayes.

Another veto by Mr.. HAYES, which was
confidently predicted was sent to the House
OF Representatives yesterday, and will be
found in to-day's Sun.
There is no denying one thing: in this
series Of vetoes Mr. HAYES evinccs degree
of hardihood and audacity somewhat sur
prsng TO those who have become accus-
toned to regard him as the mere cmbodi-
ment Of weakness. To be sure it is in an
unintclligent kind of courage; but even
the courage OF tho bulldog is respected.
HAYES at last shows courage. Give him
credit for it. Uncouplcd as it is with wis
dom, this may be little to say for him. Still
it is more than can be said for some of the
whitc-livcrcd Democrats who occupy seats
in Congress.
It has been n point Of pride with Mr..
HAYES lately to have It understood that he
writes his own messages. This is fortunate
for the members of his Cabinet, for it will
relieve them of the odium of having written
this last extraordinarily illogical and mpu-
dent document
Mr. HAYES, after the manner OF an iratc
schoolmaster, undertakes to rcbuke Con-
grcss for passing this bill. Referring to his
last preceding veto, he says:
81 regret that the objections which then
pressed this method legislation have seemed
Congress Of sufficient weight to dissuado from this
ncwcd incorporation Of general enactments appro.
pnauon till"
Really, Mr.. PEDAGoGUE, who put into
your hands a birch to chastisc in this arro-
giant manner the representatives of the
people?
Further ON in this veto message Mr.. HAYES
says
"Thc constitutional authority to regulate the Con
gressouai elections which belongs to the Government of
the United states and which tits necessary to exert to
the right 10 vote to every citizen possessing the
requisite qualifications ought to be enforced by appro
pirate legislation
Now, the constitutional power TO regulate
Congressional elections here spoken of by
Mr.. HAYES is vested by the express letter
OF the Constitution in Congress, in these
words:
d" The times places. and manner Of holding elections
for senators and Representa-, shan be- prescribed in
each state by the LEGISLATURE thereof, but he s
afaHy time ~ i'r nuke ah,, ah rcaHon except to
thcplaccs Of choosing senators
Congress has exercised this power in
pursuance OF tho Constitution, and Mr..
HAYES. by his veto. has thwartcd and de-
fcatcd Congress in the performance Of one
Of the highest duties specifically confldod by
the Constitution 10 that body. This is the
plain English Of the whole proceeding.
We cannot refrain from adding that Mr..
HAYES, who holds his high Office only by
force of fraud, preaching in favor Of purity
Of elections, and Satan rcbuking sin may be
aptly illustrated by one and the same pic
ture.

RECEITING THE VETO.
Applause In the House Joined in by Men of
Both Parties.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The veto Of the
Legislative Executive. and Judicial Appropria-
ton bill was sent TO the House this afternoon.
read and 10y vote Of ll2 yeas TO 81 nays-not
being the necessary two-thirds-the bill was not
passed over the veto. The House listened at
tentvely 10 the reading of Hayes objections to
modification Of the election laws. Contrary
10 the usual practice. the message had not been
published in advance. There was. therefore. a
certain freshness about the document. although
nll OF Hayes reasons for votong the bill had
been explained over and over again in the dis
cusslon upon II In Congress. When the Clerk

side OF tho House. The Repuhlicnns aid

soon daWhrd upon thoir understandings and
nrmocrHs also appreciated the meaning Of
Hayes r statement that Tho Trainers Of these

iessrs O. admire the operation Of the election
enactment in ISL, he does not refer 10 the
honesty integrity. and ability with which John
!; Davenport enforced the laws in the mptrob-
oils at the last election.
-, The Republicans are pleased with the veto.
Inc DrnucrWs consider II a weak defence of

1t Is pretended 10y the Republican leaders
and by the Fraudulent President that the
bill prohibiting the presence of troops at the
polls is something new and wholly I'M
preccdented while, in point Of fact, there
never was any act Of Congress which even
squinted at such a use Of the army until
1853. Then the present law was passed, and
the offensive feature in II was added on the
motion of SUBSIDY PoMEROY That was the
first innovation on the practice Of the Gov
eminent for seventy-six years.
No party had ever dared 10 propose that
IN any contingency or upon any pretext,
the army should assume TO oversee or
to control elections. Indeed, until the
civil war any such suggestion would
have been regarded as revolutionary
and as movement to destroy self
government Hence no such idea was
ever proposed, eveq in times of the
highest political excitement. II was re-
served for the Republican party Of the
present day TO disfgure the statute book
with an act marking new departure in
legislation and in public policy. and strik-
Ing at the heart OF the republic.
More than three quarters of century
ago, when the fathers Of the Constitution
were still living and still active participants
IN public affairs, JOHN MARSHALL, then
representative in Congress from Virginia,
and aitcrward the great Chief Justice
whose lame extends wherever the English
language IS spoken and the great princ-
pies OF English jurisprudence are valued,
introduced BILL with the Same title as that
recently vetoed, except one word, and hav-
ing the same object in view Both he and
his friends who supported the measure
urged it because in their abundant caution
they thought it wise TO declare by statute
tho recognized sentiment of the country.
and to provide against the possibility that
the spirit OF patriotism should become
lukewarm.
Hero are the words OF this BILL recently
discovered on tho files Of the Secretary OF
the Senate, and only once referred to in gen-
eral terms during the long debate in both
Houses:
bill to prevent the interference Of any military
force in certain elections:

In The SUN OF Wednesday last despatch
was published in regard 10 the death Of Capt
WILLIAM KIoN HoEL Of Waynesville. OHIO.
Capt. HoEL WIS said to have accidentally shot
himself through the heart with pistol with
which he was striking DR.. ]. H. HouGH. whose
attentions to Mrs. HoEL had excited the Cap
tain 5 jealousy The evidence given at the in
quest makes 1t almost certain that Capt.
HoEL was not killed by his own hand.
The doctors who examined the body found two
contusions. evidently made by something
blunt. on the right temple, several nbrnsions Of
the skin on the back and the fingers Of the right
hand and the palm OF the left hand lacerated.
as II something hard had been wrenched forci-
bly, from H. They also say that 1t is impossible.
from the course Of the bullet that the Captain
could have Inflicted tho death wound himself.
Dr. HouGH's explanation Of the encounter does
not agree with that OF the hired girl and alto
gether the case looks very dark for Mrs. HoELs
friend.

The Southern General Assembly Of the,
