The brig Akbar sailed from Havana
for New York on the 18th inst. Three
drys after the captain and three men were
very sick with yellow fever-One man
had died and but one remained fit fol-
duty. The brig L. T. Munson, from
Cardenas for New York, seeing a signal
of distress bore down upon the Akbar and
rendered assistance by tying up the sail;
and putting the vessel in running order.
She was in a deplorable condition at the
time. There was plenty of provisions on
board and all that was asked for was q
navigator to assist in continuing the voy.
age. The first officer of the Mpnson nobly
volunteered 10 act and he was put on
board of the fever-stricken vessel, That
officer may be set down as one of the
brayest of this years yellow fever heroes

Of company with which they are associat-

when the vote was taken upon the army
appropriation bill. All but two of the
whole number in the House swallowed
their professions, previously made, of OPP

like any other Bourbons. Ladd and Murch
forgot that they were greenbackers and
went back to their first love-the demo-
cratic party. Every time the democrats
want the votes of the democratic green
hackers they get them, whether the repub-

The sophistry of Mr.. Tucker and other
democrats in trying to shift the response
bility for the failure of the appropriation
bills from the democrats to the President
if he vetoes the bills, is altogether too
thin. There is a wide difference between
a veto, which is an expression of the Pres
ident's judgment in form prescribed by
the constitution, and refusal to recognize
the veto by a majority less than the consti-
tutionally prescribed two-thirds. The
President, if he fulfills the expectation of
his party, will simply exercise his lawful
authority; he will discharge his duty as
he understands it. The Congress will as
sert an unlawful pretension, and will make
it the excuse for doing by an indirect
agency what it cannot do in conformity
with the constitution. The proposition is
so obviously untenable, says the New York
Times, that something more tangible than
threats will be required to prove that the
democratic party as whole is willing to
abide by its consequences.

be brought up and parts OF it read in

plies about as well to the present situation

was prepared. Mr.. Chittenden said:
