After the defeat of the army appro-

After the defeat of the army appro-
priation bill with its offensive and un-
constitutional provisions, the rebel
brigadiers in congress passed a
separate bill, under pretense of pro-
hibiting the use of the army on cleo
ton days. There is already law
on the L. S. statute books that clearly
declares the army shall not interfere
with elections, except to preserve the
peace, and the proposed law would
seem to be useless for that reason; but
the new bill was so worded that even
armed rebellion could not be resisted
lawfully by the L. S. government for
its own preservation. Persons in
tending rebellion could not be more
artful in law-making to further their
own success. President Hayes on
Monday veryproperly vetoed the bill,
and the rebel brigadiers are left once
more aground in the efforts to destroy
the executive branch of the govern
ment.
