copies, and was distributed all over the
English speaking globe. Some idea of
the immense bulk of such an edition
may be gathered from the fact that,
surprising each copy to be three-eighths
of an inch thick, the 5000, piled up,
would make a tower of paper and print
ing ink nearly 5000 feet high, or about
twenty times as high as Niagara Falls.

Passage of the Army Bill, and its Veto
by the President.

The Senate on Friday finally passed
the army appropriation bill as it came
from the House, by strict party vote
Al to 80, Judge Davis of Illinois vot-
ing with the Democrats. The prOyis-
ion prohibiting the use of troops at the
polls is as follows:
"No military or naval officer or other
person engaged in the civil, militery or
naval service of the United States shall
order, bring, keep or have under his
authority or control any troops or arm
ed men at the place where any general
or special election is held i'll any state,
unless it be necessary to repel the arm
ed enemies of the United States. Pro-
vided that nothing contained in this
section as now amended shall be held
or deemed to abridge or affect the du-
ties or power of the President of the
United States under section 1897 of the
Revised Statutes, enacted under and
to enable the United States to comply
with section of article of the Con-
stitution of the United States on appli-
cation of the Legislature or Executive,
as provided for in said section"
On Tuesday President Hayes return
ed the bill with a message to Congress
giving his reasons for not giving it his
official signature. He objects to the
bill in the first place on account of the
Objectionable character of the legisla
ton proposed in the sixth section, pro-
hibiting the use of troops at the polls,
which legislation he declares unneces-
sary and uncalled for at this time Sec
ondly, the section will have the effect
of preventing the use of force by the
civil officers of the law at elections to
keep the peace or enforce the laws,
thus forbidding the enforcement of
law which is still allowed to remain on
the statute book. Further, he objects
to placing extraneOus matter on apprO-
priation bills.
This prompt and firm action by the
President gives satisfaction to the Re-
publican party in and out of Congress,
and brings confusion to the party who
have threatened to starve the govern
ment they did not destroy in '6l-5.
The Democrats in Congress do not now
know just what to do, but the general
impression is they will be obliged to
back down. They will not dare to go
before the country on the record they
have threatened.

Gross Injustice.

Rev. c. D. LOthrOp of Amherst, a
Congregational clergyman, sued the
Springfield Republican for libel, placing
the damages at $4,000. This was for
matter published in the paper as long
ago as 1876, rejecting severely upon
Mr.. LOthIOp's character as husband,
father and minister of the gospel. His
conduct was such towards his grown up
daughters ladies from Is to 20
years old, and girls of education and re-
tinement-as to make those who read
the testimony on the trial, to cry out
with indignation. He whipped them
with a horsewhip; locked them into a
room when the within came over him !;
kicked one of them; fed them on faint
ed meat which he bought at the mark
ct for one cent pound and humil-
ated them in many ways until some of
the best people in Amherst, including
Prof. Hitchcock, interfered for the girls,
saving one from threatened suicide and
another from an insane asylum threat
ened by her father.
The church took the matter up and
accommodated him the Republican
gave history of the affair, with sharp
comments, but no sharper than the
case deserved. The Reverend took the
case into another part of the state, and
after long and expensive trial the jury
brought in verdict of $1,000 for the
minister. 1t was an establishment to
every one. The Republican takes ex-
ceptions, and does not propose to stand
such verdict. But the paper thus
mulcted can afford to stand it better
than the public can. If newspaper is
to be muzzled when such gross mis-
demeanors are perpetrated, the useful
ness of the newspaper is departed.

The Negro Exodus.

The Observer, published in New Or
leans gives the reasons for the exodus
of the colored people, thus:
Almost daily explanations are given
by the press why the negroes are Ieav-
ing the South and going North. Hear
the true one! Cotton lands that would
not command, under forced sales. more
than $40 per acre, are rented to the
negroes for from 81 to 80 a year per
acre. A good mule and pillow is worth
$50. For the use of these the laborer
pays from $50 to $40 per year. A bar
rel of pork is worth say $40 in the CITY.
The negro pays from 10 to I21 cents a
pound on the plantations. This is a
sample of what goes on with the land
owners and labOrers, both on the sugar
and cotton estates. Deduct the ex-
penses of the laborer from the present
prices of cotton, sugar, and corn. and
find the balance if you can. WHY.
then, talk of "Yankeen emissaries and
circulars, or the fear of reinstatement
These are sufficient to depopulate fine
South, and are the naked truth besiues.
