VRTo or THE AxTT-CHiNEsE Bill
The veto by President Hayes Of The
Chinese Emigration Bill will meet with
The approval Of every citizen who holds
respect for The observance Of treaty
stipuIatioBs. We forced upon China the
treaty and compelled her TO admit our
c.iizens TO the transaction of their bnsi-
ness in that empire. and in return Invi-
ted her people to find occupation 10 this
country. We guaranteed them protec-
ton in The enjoyment here Of every
right secured to our own people in Chi
ma. The treaty had lis inception and
completion IN the furtherance Of Amer
ican interests and American commerce;
il was disliked by the Chinese and ac-
cepled only in The severest moral en-
forcement. We have been oversaatched
by the Monaghan, and he has gotten
the better part OF the treaty. as some
imagice. This bill, il II bad become
law, would have been most 1agranl
violation Of treaty obligations and dis
grace TO the country. II woeid have ex-
posed many Of eur merchants and much
Of their property, together with the mis-
sionaries OF all churches, 10 The same
consequences that it sosght TO bring
upon the Chinese IN this country. Mr..
Hayes has done well 10 veto il. We
desire TO see the treaty abrogated and
the Monaghan race excluded from eur
.hores. The introduction Of any race
who cannot assimilate with the other
people is positive injury. OF which this
country has already had an abundant
experience. But however desirable
this end may be. The Obligations Of trea-
~ are at present paramount and should
be respected.

Archbishop PuacELL's EMsARRAss-

ARCHBISHOP PURcELL's EMBARRAsS-
MENTs.-AIthough no explanation has
a. yet been offered from official sources
in regard 10 the financial embarrass-
menis OF Archbishop Purcell. il is sug-
ge ted that the money entrusted to him
has been swallowed up in The erection
OF church edifces which returned no in
ierest upon The capital invested in them.
"As the property was unproductive,"
says a Western exchange, 'there re-
manned the annual interest to be provi-
ded for; but as deposits continued to
come in, he met with no difficulty in
paying the interest. In this manner
the curious system Of banking became
one Of steady paymentot compound in
terest, without any return from the prop
erty in which the original principal was
invested" The Cincinnati EOlksfreund
attributes the Archbishop's embarrass-
ments to the brilliant @ financial tai
ent of his brother" but at the same time
condemns "the negligent manner in
which the financial affairs of the Arch
diocese Of Cincinnati have been mana
ged." There is no charge or suspicion
Of misrepresentation on any hand, and it
is hoped that with time and patience all
claims will be satisfied.

Nor REvoLUTIoHARY-T cry of
revolution which certain Republican
journals are raising over the efforts of
the Democratic members Of Congress
10 secure the repeal of the obnoxious
and dangerous election laws, adopted
by a Republican Congress as a means
of perpetrating itself in power. will not
Brighten anybody who is at all CONVEX
SAINT with the real merits and bearing of
the case. These laws are confessedly
political in their character; one Of them,
the test oath law, being so intensely
partisan, that liz most States 1T is prac-
tically imperative. The Democracy
believe these laws TO be unconstitution-
al and fraught with grave peril to re-
publican institutions. II has pointed
out more than once that so long as they
remain in force it is within the power
of the Republican party managers, act
ing through corrupt partisan judges, TO
overawe their opponents in any State
where the local conditions are favora-
BILE TO their purposes, and thus practi-
cally to defeat the will OF the majority.
The only way in which this danger can
be averted is to repeal the election laws
referred to. II has been argued that
there is still time enough TO secure the
repeal of these laws; but Democrats
know by bitter experience that IL is I'M
wise 10 delay action on a matter which
may be availed of by unscrupulous OPP
ponents at a critical moment to defeat
the free expression Of the popular will.
These laws are bad laws: if they are to
be repealed at all there is no reason why
they should not be repealed at once.
The only practical way 10 accomplish
their repeal in the face of Republican
majority in the Senate is to incorporate
them with the appropriation bills.
Rather than have the ..rrnronriotion bills
fail, il is hoped, the Republican Sena-
tors will be forced TO yield their con-
sent. II has been urged, as we have
said, that this course on the part of the
Democrats is Revolutionary" Even
so high an authority as Senator Bayard
has adopted this view; but, when we
come TO examine the charge, il is diff
cult to find any real foundation for it.
II would, Of course, be unwIse to block
The wheels Of government by practi-
cal refusal TO appropriate money on a
trivial or purely partisan issue; but the
question involved in the present contro-
versy is, we think, sufficiently grave TO
warrant the Democrats in maintaining
their point to the last. So far as prece-
dents are concerned. they are amply
fortified. The Republicans themselves
have set them the example On more
than one occasion. and every conces-
sion which has been gained by the Eng
lish people throughout their entire po-
litical history has been wrung from an
unwilling monarch by this method of
procedure. The Democratic leaders in
the House are clearly right IN insisting
upon the repeal Of these unjust and, in
themselves, revolutionary laws, and the
responsibility for the failure Of appro-
priation bills through their action, will
not rest with them, but with those Re-
publican Senators who vote to keep in
force laws whose only purpose is TO adj
vance their party Observation-Disclosures

REPoRT OF THE Potter COMMIT
TEE.-The majority report Of the Potter
committee, which has been completed
and published, dismisses altogether from
consideration the Testimony" Of An
derson, Weber, Mrs. jerks and others
Of that llk, and deals only with those
facts which were proven beyond cavil
in the course Of the investigation. IL
proves in legal form what the whole
country knew beiore-that the actual
results Of the presidential election were
perverted through the Efforts of the Re-
publican managers in Louisiana and
Florida-snd demonstrates that Tilden
and Hendricks ''receN ed true majori-
" OF the electoral vote and were the
real choice Of the people of the United
States at the last presidential election.
The document is singularly dispasslon-
ale and calm in tone throughout, and
presents the leading features Of the pre-
sidential fraud in convincing manner.

STILL IN DOUBr.-It is still unknown
whether the deadlock which obtained
at latest reports between the Senate and
House Conference Committees on the
Legislative and Army Appropriation
bills was broken time enough Tuesday
last to permit the passage Of these mea-
sures, or broken at all. Each side
seemed to be determined to have its
own way. and when last heard from,
was CALAMITY tugging al ITS own end Of
the rope and making malicious faces al
opponents Juggling at the opposite end.
OF course, IL the Army and Legislative
Appropriation bills have failed. there
will have to be an extra session, and it
is said in this event Mr.. Hayes will call
one within thirty days.
