Republican majorities in this and other
cities. That is the whole object Of the
odous laws, which were expressly framed
to meet political necessity. and for no
other reason. Now it is proposed to do away
with the partisan features of these laws, and
to retain the supervisors as official wit
nesscs of the elections.
But the Republican party, I'm minority,

rs the Returning Board was prolonged in
Louisiana-until after the next Presidential
election. 1t is an essential element, with tho
army, of their machinery; and taken away,
it reduces their chances Of success very
seriously Hence their bitter resistance.
Without tho aid of the Fraudulent Presi-
dent, this opposition would be impotent.
That has been secured by artful manage
mcnt. Instructed by the desperate leaders,
HAYES comes to the determination that the
appropriation for the army, and the appro-
priations for the legislative. judicial, and
executive departments, which Congress has
literally voted. shall not become laws un-
less he may dictate the exact form, and pre-
scribe the limit of their application.
The Fraudulent President and the Repub-
lean minority thus defy the will Of tho
majority IN Congress. ussail the Consttu-
ton, and refuse the supplies for carrying ON
the Government. They have invited this
responsibility. They have raised the ISSUE.
They have provoked the public Indignation,

and nearly concerning the preservation Of

spirit Of the Constitution. and would become
moro Infamous than any name in our history.
But the Honorable JAMES b. BELFoRD was

innocent of all intention to prove anything

The Conflict Over the supplies.

1t is not pretended that the repeal Of eight
words in the Revised Statutes, forbidding
the army 10 act as a police force at the polls; ;
or the repeal of the jurors test oath, which
@ Republican Congress repealed In 1871, but
which was Struggled back into the Revised
Statutes; or the repeal Of the partisan laws
authorizing supervisors and malshdls and
deputies 10 arrest whom they please with

cost of five dollars a day to the Treasury,

rights or duties Of the Executive.
In regard TO the repeating clause in the
Army bill, the power If Congress may DO
called supreme. Tho Constitution expressly
declares that Congress alone may raise
and support armies" and may make rules
for the government and regulation OF the
land and naval forces" What rules; Such

Chief must obey, even when the army and
navy may be "called into the actual SER
vice OF the United States" and which the
War Department, the General OF the Army,
and all subordinates must respect I'm time
Of peace. The rule prescribed In this case
is simply that the army shall not be present
at the polls to oversee elections.
Is there anything unreasonable or i'm
proper In this condition? Is not the con-

What a Democrat who Backs Down
Does.


Tho vetoed bill allows the President to use
the army at the polls against armed enc
mics of the United States.
Mr. HAYES Is not satisfied with that or he
would not have vetoed the bill.
Who are they that naturally collect at
polling places They are uuarmcd citizens
OF the United States 1t is against them
that Mr.. HAYES desires authority to use
the army and navy, or it is to awe them
that he desires authority to have soldiers at
the polls.
We submit that no other explanation of
his message is reasonable or possible. Who
ever among the Democrats rcntrs, and
Succumbs to the Executive, sanctions his
odious doctrine.
Democrats in Congress You areabout to
make your record on a question at once mo-
mentous and enduring are you in favor OF
granting to the President authority to have
any part Of the army and navy present at
elections for any purpose other than to dis
pei armed enemies Of the United States?
The record you make will be your own.
1t will stand.
Your constituents and your country will
Judge you by that record.

Hrandywine Flour Mills Broker
Omen.

Yesterday morning between 2 and 3
o'clock, thieves entered the Flour Mills
Of William LEA & Sons, and Price &
Phillips, on the Brandywine, the bur
glars gaining admittance in each of the
buildings by means of prying open the
windows and doors with jimmies. A
lot Of stencil cutting implements and
wach makers tools, the latter belonging
to Ziba Ferris, Esq, were stolen. The
thieves endeavored to force open one of
Lilly's Safes, and succeeded in break
ing the combination, but they were uD-
able to unlock the safe, and being frus-
trated at every point, they left the mills
taking with them bag Of flour each.
While they we're passing over the
Brandywine Bridge officer Dinsmore es-
pied the thieves and ordered them to
stop. This they refused to do, and
took to their heels, leaving the stolen
property behind them. Officer Dins-
more followed after them, but was un-
able to capture them, though he fired
several shots after them. During the
day two men, named O'Hara and Zeb-
ley, were arrested by Sergeant Jones
and officer Dinsmore on suspicion.
O'Hara was released but Zebley was re-
tanned and awaits hearing.

American Girls.

The Philadelphia Press says it is
singular fact that fifteen Of the ladies
connected with the present Diplomatic
Corps at Washington, are American
girls whose beauty ana diplomacy cap
tured distinguished husbands. Among
the number are wives of the French,
Italian, Guatemalan, and Turkish
Ministers, and many others of lesser
rank, including Mrs. Yung Wing, Of
the Chinese Legation, who was Miss
Bartlett, of Connecticut. In the Di-
pomatic Corps Of Europe there are al
so several Americans ladies, such as
the wife of the Italian Minister to the
Hague, and others. Whether Ameri-
can women have peculiar penchant for
diplomacy, or diplomatists for them, is
a difficult question to decide. Al all
events, diplomacy is career for which
our women seem to be admirably adap-
ted. They have also broken down the
exclusiveness of hereditary aristocracy,
and some of them are connected with
the oldest noble families of England
and the Continent. Proverbial as is
their beauty, their natural grace and
dignity of manner and their intelli-
gence are no less striking.
