From the N. Y. World, June 4. 9il oi
Our voting machinery since 1868 he's
not been hitherto fully understood even
by all people in New York, and II has
hardly been understood at all outside Of
New York. Thanks to the vetoes, lfhat.
admirable system will now. be made
known in all It's detail 8 to the people
Of every voting precinct in the country,
and when this comes to pass the false
pretenses of the Hayes veto aud Of tho
stalwart contention will be, apparent.
That veto did not proceed on the ~
sumption that The supervisors were ht
all necessary at the South. The pessis
mists defend the employment of deputy,
marshals as hired Federal .eleetioneersrs
at S5 a day as being chiefly needed 10
New York City, where we have PO-
lice Board equally divided between the
two rival parties and a Republican City
District-Attorney to prosecute tor voting
offenses. Il is at New York and at New
York alone that veto No. 8 is aimed. It
is New York and New YORK alone,
among all the States of the Union, which
is signa'ed out to be put under bonds
and hedged with bayonets against her
own people. The Empire City is point
ed at as habitually criminal, whereas the
| truth is that our voting laws are the best
in the Union, and that the execution Of
them since 1868 has teen rigid and ex-
act. In purely State elections, when the
Federal hand is never seen or felt, such
thing as a row or an affray at the polls
has for years been an unknown thing in
New York. Our polls are as orderly
and quiet on eleciio days as church
during service. No wonder then that
farseeing Republicans who knew the
facts are wild to see Congress adjourn
before public attention can be fully fast
ened on the real issues between the nom
elected President and the regularly elect
ed represen' atlves of the people in WASH
ington Our advice to Congress would
be decidedly .. .w.f,s. E ,oy
ado not adjourn till you have given
The Executive money enough to keep the
Government going properly and freely
and to promote the general welfare till
Congress again assemblies But above
all do not adjourn till well-considered,

suggested by Mr.. Bayard, has bsen pre-.
pared and presented again to the Presi-
dent; do not adjourn until the supsrvis-

Lord Beaconsield over-exerted hir

Lord Beaconsfield over-eXerted him
recently in his speech in reply to the
Duke Of Argyll. He commenced with
his accustomed vigor, but this vigor was
not maintained, and he soon, although
his oration had evidently been prepared
and he had frequent recourse to his notes
muddled up dates and names in truly
distressing manner. In his own inter-
ests, as well as in those of the country,
it is desirable that he should be relieved
of his arduous duties at the next general
election. He feels this himself. The
other day he said :-"There was time
when l looked forward with pleasure
to making speech now find the same
pleasure in not making one."

A Norm ON Gets 5 Years.

At Salt Lake, Utah, Judge Emerson
sentenced John Miles, a polygamist, to
pay a fine of 500 and be confined in the
Nebraska Penitentiary five years. Miles
impertinently requested not to be lectu-
red, and asked no mercy of the Court.
Miles was to marry three young women
at the ,me time with the advice and con-
sent Of John Taylor, President of the
Mormon Church. An appeal has been
taken to the Supreme Court of the terri
tory. The bond was fixed at $4,000.

The spring OF 1871 was the DusleSt
period these works have experienced up
to the present time. Now, however,
there is much work and 1t is increasing
all the time. A considerable increase in
employment has been made since April
lst. Quite q large force of men are now
working during the night. Enough work
is on hand to keep every thing rushing
for six weeks yet, and the receipt of more
orders is almost certain. Mr.. Harry Dure
who told the reporter all this, thought
the 81 eason would be as busy as its COM
mencement had promised.
THE DIAMOND STATE IRON CO.
Business in the iron foundry and roll
ing line is better, compared with last
year, aud the outlook indicates further
Increase. As many men are employed
here as in 1877, and more than last year.
One thing that is not SO favorable il that
raw material has advanced in price while
the price of iron remains the same. This
will cause smaller margins, and may be,
slightly reduced wages. Labor will not
be reduced at all, but rather increased.

FRIDAY MARCH Is.

New business is rapidly accumula-
ting on the speakers table, and the
necessity for an extra session becomes
more evident every day. In the house
of representatives the general dehcien.
cy bill was taken up and items adopted
at morning session, aggregating $3.50,
900. In the senate number ofreports
wele made by committees, among them
one granting section Of land to indi-
gent pensioners, under bill of July
10Th, 1876, and to provide for printing
and revising the codes. Bill was re.
ported for the issuance Of bonds OF
the state for purpose of retiring those
now outstanding and to supply deficien-
cy in the revenue. Resolution to ad-
iourn March 81 was discussed and
lost on final vote. Senate resolution
asking return to that body of the liz.
upr bill passed on Thursday elected
discussion and motion to- table, but
the request was finally complied with.
On appropriation to pay $1,000 for
support Of Halls command good
deal of discussion was INDUCED in,
but the legislature adjourned before
thore was any final action.

doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote vlS-
OrouS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known Tor
more than quarter Of century, ana
have obtained q worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not intiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements of weakness.

Legislative Proceedings
TUESDAY, MARCH 20.


In the senate committee reported
favorably on bill making it a Unable Of.
tense to throw ballast overheard in the
harbors OF Texas. Bill was intro
duced requiring state officers drawing
drafts on the treasurer to give notice
of the fact to the comptroller. Bill
was passed giving section OF land to
the heirs Of those who fell at Dawson's
massacre. The claim Of heirs of Tom
Toby for $i5, 1000, which was reported
on favorably by the committee, was re-.
jected by vote of II to IL. Bill pass.

raj, and allowing persons entitled to
land for military services to sue for

house good deal Of uuimportant
business was disposed of. Bill was en-.
crossed, providing for taking oath of
merchants, so as to determine what
class they belong to in fixing occupe.
ton licenses. Quarantine law, includ-
ing Houston among the ports. and pro.
viding stringent regulations for ex.
animation OF vessels, was under con-
sideration.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH Z6'
The morning session Of the senate
was taken up with the nomination Of
grand msster Lang for assistant super.
intendent Of the peniten.iary. In the
house the finance committee presented
the general deficiency bill, showing a
deficit of S436,63O. The minority re-
port bears down pretty heavily on Gov.
Hubbard for keeping Halls company
in the field after its term OF service had
expired. The bill regulating railroads
was under discussion, but did not reach
conclusion. Bill was passed in the
house, providing that in cases of con-
yictions for felony sentence should be
passed Immediately after rendering the
verdict The confirmation of Mr..
Lang was before the senate during the
afternoon session, but failed to be dis.
posed of.

The American Editor.
[Chicago Telegraph. ]


A sight to make the world hold its
breath is the average American editor,
pencil in hand, telling his readers just
what the conference in Europe between
Bismarck and Andrassy means. Foreign
potentates and ministers may watch with
anxious uncertainty the meeting between
those two willy diplomats, but there is no
doubt in the mind of the Yankee edito-
rial writer as to what is going on. he
comes blithely in from his frugal beel
and, gancing first at the latest score Of
the New York walking match, turns hi:
attention gaily to European matters and
knocks out an elucidation of the foreigI
problem which would make Bismarck
and Andrassy grow pale with chagrin i
they should ever see it. He knows theil
little game and doesn't hesitate to expose
it. Consequently, while European mon
archs are nervous and worried at the
Vienna Conference, the American people
fully informed by their newspaper writ
ers as to what the consultation is al
about, give their attention to bulline
grain and booming for Grant.
