Miscellaneous Matters

Washington, April 2s.-The records
of the treasury department show that
ex-senator Conover has been appointed
inspector Of customs along the Florida
coast at salary of four dollars per
day, that he has accepted the place and
is now doing duty. He is probably
working up that state for Secretary
Sherman's nomination as president.
The ex-senator particularly requested
that the announcement should not get
into the newspapers.
Ex-Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, was
on the floor of the senate to-day, and
received quite an ovation.
A cousin of Gen. Chalmers, of Mis-
sissippi, was to-day appointed bill clerk
of the senate, vice A. Mayne, republic
can. removed.

More Abou. the Expected Veto

Washington, April 2S.-There is no
longer any doubt that TIE president
intends to veto the army appropriation
Dill, for it was authoritatively stated
at the executive mansion this afternoon
that the veto message is nearly fin
ished, and will be sent to congress either
tomorrow or Wednesday. In view of
this amendment and of the certainty
that the pending legislative appropria-
tlon bill will also be vetoed, there is
much consultation already in progress
tonight among prominent democrats
as TO the proper course for the majority
to pursue when the deadlock actually
occurs. OF course the matter will not
be decided without great difficulty, for
There are many conflicting views, and
large proportion Of the democrats in
congress continue to condemn all
propositions of compromise, but sew
eral of the coolest democratic leaders
nave this evening privately expressed
themselves in favor of the passage of
a Joint resolution extending last years
appropriations until December, and a
prompt adjournment. This plan would
readily obtain majority vote in both
houses by the union of the republicans
with the hard money democrats, who
wish an early adjournment to prevent
further widening Of the breech between
the eastern and western wings Of the
party, which is likely to result from a
continued tinkering with the finances,
put the soft money men have a major
ity OF votes In the democratic caucus,
and the adoption of this expedient fol-
escape from the deadlock is therefore
still very uncertain.

Plot to Burn a Town-One of the Plot
ters Hung,
Starkville, April 2S.-A gang of ne
gros has been discovered who had form
ed combination to burn this town.
The large barn of Jordan Moore, five
miles south of here, was burned last

Army Promotions.

Washington, April 2S.-The senate
military committee decided at their
meeting to request in executive session
the judiciary committee to report on
he question whether last years law,
stopping army promotions, is still bind
ing, and in case said report was not
made before the next regular meeting,
it was the intention of the military
committee to take action itself on all
nominations pending for promotio n. A
majority of the committee favor ecom-
mending all the nominations for contir-
nation. The request was probably
made as above stated for the sub-com-
mittee of the judiciary.
Senators Garfield, Edmunds and Car
penter are prepared and will report
tomorrow, and their report, it is un-
derstood, will be favorable.
Senator Logan, although beaten in
committee on his proposition to make
the date of nomination the date of
commission of an officer, which has
never heretofore been done, except in
the case Of new appointment will, it
is stated, bring the matter before the
senate.
1t is believed to be quite certain that
all pending nominations will be con-
firmed before this sessions close, and
the army appropriation bill, which also
contains u clause prohibiting promo
tions, shall have become law.

Omaha, April 2S.-The Pacific coast
Indians who passed through Omaha a
few weeks ago, en- route to Washing
ton, left ON the noon train on their way
to San Francisco, Mr.. Connoyer,
their agent, states that the chiefs are
well satisfied with the result Of their
visit. Chief Moses had got tract
of land or reservation set aside for his
people, and all the other tribes who
want to join them. The reservation is
located on Columbia river. Twelve
tribes will locate there. The Walla
Wallas, Umatillas and Cayuses will Sc
lect their lands in severalty, each MEM
Der of the tribes being entitled to 160
acres. Some of the chiefs wished to

The Veto Bete Nolr.

Washington, April 27.-Speculations
concerning the presidents action on the
army appropriation bill seem to have
settled down to expectations on all
hands to-day that he will veto it, and
there seems also to be nearly universal
impression that he will base his veto
upon one or both of two grounds,
namely, that the bill trenches upon his
constitutional powers to execute all
existing laws by military force, If ne
cessary, and that its enactment would
prevent the execution Of civil process
by the federal courts, by their own
officers, in cases where the civil power
alone might be insufficient.
Prominent democrats say that in the
event of the veto being based simply
upon the latter ground, the majority in
congress will promptly amend the bill
in that particular, and return it to the
president in such shape as will obviate
his objections.

What May be Expected.

Washington, April 2S.-The veto
message will make about three-quar-
ters of column. The president is re-
ported to be indignant at the haste
manifested, the messenger having ar
rived at the White House with the bill
between seven and eight O'Clock in the
evening, as though the president con-
templated running away.
The president don't objebt to any
law prohibiting troops at the polls, and
it is reported that if the word "civll"
is stricken out of the Objectionable bill,
he will sign it.

sENATE-AFTERNoo SESSION.
Washington, April 29.-On the dis
cussion of the bill giving seats on the
floor of the senate and house to the
heads of the departments, Pendleton
said that the measure appealed to no
partisan interest. 1t touched the rela-
tion of two great powers in the senate,
and sought to improve their methods
of communication with each other.
He made strong constitutional argu-
ment, defining the relations of the
cabinet to the executive and legislative
branches, and showing that the pres
ence of the cabinet In congress and the
oral statements by them were neces-
sary.
The conclusion of Pendleton's re-
marks were applauded.
Morrill, contended against the ming
ling of the executive and legislative
functions, and urged that it was need
less and unrepublican.
On motion of Pendleton, the bill, for
the present, was laid on the table.
The senate then passed bill for the
publication Of the revised statutes.
Williams introduced a bill to regulate
the legal value of metal money and pro-
vide for the free and unlimited co image
Of gold and silver bullion, and restore

1t proposes to make all gold and sill
yer coins, including the trade dollar,
equally legal tenders for all debts, pub
lie and private, to any amounts and at
their nominal value.
The senate went into executive ses-
sion and soon afterwards adjourned.

whether paper or metallic, shall be
issued by the general government
only, and made full legal tender
for all debts, public and private
except as to such contracts hereto
fore made as were originally paya-
BILE in coin.
9Th. We are opposed to all banks
of issue, and demand that green
backs shall be substituted in place
of the national bank bills, and the
coinage of gold and silver shall be
placed in all respects upon the
same footing.
9th. We believe that the money
should be issued in sufficient vol
ume to meet requisites of bust
ness; that the government should
regulate the value of money b,
preserving a uniform ratio between
the supply and demand, and tina
this delicate and important power
should never be delegated to banks
corporations and individuals.

court of the State, reversal OF
that decree. In place OF this hon
orable and legitimate mode OF ac-
ton, which lay wide open to them,
Mr.. Beal proceeded to manipulate
the board of regents, and a majori-
~ of that board proceeded to show
how well ready they were to be
manipulated. -Four of its mem
beers, by name Regents Dutlield,
Maliz. Clinic and Rynd, constitut-
ing that majority, voted for the
reinstatement of Rose with a salary
of $1,000; and aS if even this was
not enough, the aforesaid majority
voted further to wipe out the legal
decree of S4,654. 40 against him, and
which now must come out OF the
pockets Of taxpayers.
This is the present situation OF
the affairs of the University, and
the press Of the State, with few
exceptions, and backed by strong
public sentiment, are denonncing
/ in unmeasured terms the action OF
Beal and his confreres The ac-
ton of the Alumni of the Saginaws,
at meeting held on Tuesday
evening in this city, was made
public in our columns, aud is so
emphatic in it avowal that he who
runs may read. Similar action has
been taken in other sections of the
State.
In commenting on the matter
yesterday the Detroit Free Press
very pertinently says:
"Yet no CONSTANT friend Of the
University can he blind to the fact
that the best interests of that
institution demand that Rose should
be removed. The fact that he
stands before the world adjudged
defaulter by court Of competent
! iurisdiction-a court from whose
judgement he dare not appeal
ought 10 be conclusive on that
point. Bat aside from any ques-
ton of his guilt or innocence, he
ought to he removed. The action
is necessary to vindicate the Uni.
versity and to lift it from the mire
in which it was plunged when the
Beal regents humbled the board
before legislative committee, act
ing under the instructions, not OF
the people, but Of self-constitnt-
ed dictator. It's the only vindica-
ton left the University. Unfortu-
nately, the other parts of villainly
of the Beal regents-the S5,OOO
rohhery-cannot be punished as
it deserves. The money is gone
probably beyond recall. All that
can be done in respect to it is tC
impeach the men who are respon-
sible for its loss to the University
and this duty devolves upon the
legislature, not upon the board o.
regents, as hereafter constituted"
There is one way in which the
remedy can be applied, and that is
through the ballot-boX. 1t is t.
be hoped the people will express
themselves in a manner that cannot
fail to be understood by those who
seek to outrage justice as well as
the public opinion. - Saginaw
Courier.
