JUDICIAL EXPENSES BILL VETOED.

AS was anticipated the President has vetoed
the Judicial Expenses bill. In his message
he says that owing to the failure to pass the
Legislative Appropriation bill over his veto
the election laws of the land remain valid
enactments and shall be enforced. That the
object of this bill is not to repeal them but to
defeat their enforcement. He claims that if
he signs the bill he assists in curtaiing the
constitutional rights and obligations entailed
by the law, which still remains on the statute
books. He says that his views on the wisdom
and necessity of the Election laws are so well
known that 1t is not necessary to relterate
them. The bill simply removes the power of
the National Government to protect Supervi-
sors of Election in the exercise of their duty
at the polls. The States may employ civil
and military power at elections, but by this
bill even civil authority to protect Congress-
ional elections is denied to the Government.
He would consent to sensible amendments to
and improvements of the Election laws, but
not to their entire repeal, or to legislation
which nullities them.

Showing Their Hand.

On Monday of last week, Vice Presl-
dent Wheeler was suddenly called away
from his duties as President of the Sen
ate. to the bedside of sister who was
lying dangerously i'll. This fact neces-
STATED the election of President pro
tenn, and Mr.. Thurman was elected to
that position. The Democratic majOr-
ity then made unseemly haste to en-
brace the opportunity to make removals
of Republicans in the secretary of the
Senate's office, Mr.. Wheeler being
hardly out of the city when the pOliti-
cal guillotine was put to work, and Mi.
Geddes, assistant executive clerk with
a salary of $4,000, fell as the first vic
tim. Had Mr.. Wheeler remained no
removals could have been made with
out resembling rule of the Senate
which provides that no removals in the
secretary's office shall be made without
the approval of the presiding officer of
the Senate. A party that will make
such an occasion an excuse for removals
from office, would rob a graveyard if
they had chance.

Southern Threats.

The threat which Mr.. Beck uttered
at the beginning of the session, has
made an impression upon the country
which the Kentucky gentleman was
probably not prepared for. And the
country is determined to know just
what it means. Mr.. Beck, speaking in
behalf of the Democratic caucus, which
seems to have taken upon itself all the
functions of Congress and the Execu-
tive, announced that the Democratic
party had resolved to stop the Govern
ment unless the President consented to
violate his constitutional obligation by
signing bill of which he did not APP
prove. If that is the determination of
the Democratic party, the people wish
to know it. But Mr.. Beck, having ut
tered the threat, seems to be afraid of
it. He evaded Mr.. HOar's
questions. He made repeated attempts
to turn the discussion toward other
topics. He shuffled he grew angry
he took refuge at last in obstinate 81
lence. Mr.. Beck and his associates may
as well understand that, whatever pOlit-
ical misfortunes may befall us, the
United States will never again, under
any circumstances, submit to be gov
erned by braggadocio. The day for
that sort of legislation passed long ago.
If the plantation Democracy attempt to
rule us by threats, they shall make
their words good, or they shall eat
them.
The country calls upon these men
now to show of what stuff they are
made. They tried a revolution i'll 1861,
and they were whipped. They threat
ened another in 1868, when they nomi-
mated man for the Vice Presidency
because he proposed to overthrow all
the reconstructed state governments by
force of arms but that menace of war
was ANONYMOUSLY extinguished under
the tremendous majority for Gen. Grant.
They threatened revolution again in
I676-'77 because they were not allowed
to thrust Mr.. Tilden into the Presidency
after the failure of the attempts to buy
it for him, and insurrectiOn died in dis
grace like school-bOys' riot. What
do they mean this time They have
told us that they will stop the public
supplies, starve the army and navy,
lisband the whole force of government
close the Federal courts, ex-
iinguish the lights on the coasts, if we
10 not consent to the repeal of the
election laws. Well, our answer is
prompt and positive will not con-
sent. Now begin your revolution if
you dare.-N. Y. Tribune.

PORTABLE FIRE EsCAPE.-J. w. Rob
insOn, Esq, of Concord, N. H.,-former-

steel hook upon one end and wooden
buttons at convenient distances the en-
tire length of the rope, to prevent in
jury to the hands. 1t can be instantly
put in use by placing the steel hook
under window casing, or taking turn
round bedstead, and dropping the
other end to the ground, when any
person can readily and safely descend,
by simply clasping the cord above each
button. 1t occupies but a little more
space than an ordinary collar box.
weighs less than one pound, and will
sustain weight of more than five hun
dred pounds. 1t is an article which all

some such escape" Mailed to any

The Brooks Insurance Case.

The facts of this case, which was de-
cided last week in the U. S. Circuit
Court, will be of interest to great
number of persons whose lives are in
sured on the half-note plan.
In 1866. DR.. S. T. Brooks of this place
procured an insurance of $4,000 upon
his own life in the Phoenix Mutual Life
Insurance Company, payable to his
wife in April, 1873. The insurance was
on what is called the half-nOte plan !;
that is, DR.. Brooks gave his notes for
One-half the premium for the first four
years, paying the rest in money. The
agent who effected the insurance in
formed him that the company paid so
per cent. dividend, and that the divi-
dends for the first four years would
cancel the notes.
At the end of the first year, the
Doctor became alarmed because some
one informed him that the notes would
be deducted from the amount of the
policy at its maturity, and accordingly
wrote to the General Agent of the COM
pany at Albany, inquiring if the notes
would be deducted from the sum due
on the policy at its maturity, and say
ing that if such was the case, he should
withdraw from the company and make
no further payments. The General
Agent at once wrote in reply that the
notes would not be taken out of the
policy, but would be cancelled by divi-
dends. TheleupOn the Doctor contin-
ned his payments, and gave four notes
amounting III all to $40. At the ma
turity Of the policy, the company offer
ed to pay the $4,000, plus four divi-
dends of t'oenty per cent. each, amount
ing to 1852, making $2l62 in all, less
$40, the amount of the fom notes,
leaving as the company claimed, Sl722
due on the policy.
Thereupon the suit was brought. !
The company rendered the notes, the
$1722 and the costs. The money was
taken by the plaintiff, but the suit still |
proceeded to recover the balance claim |
ed, the issue being the right of the
company to enforce the notes and de-
duct them from the sum due by the
terms of the policy. On the trial the
plaintiff claimed,
LIST, That the policy being payable to
Mrs. Brooks, notes signed by her hus-
band could not be deducted or offset |
as against her.
ID, That the company had no right
now to enforce the notes, because the |
plaintiffs were fairly given to under
stand that they were not to be de- |
Quoted, and that good faith required |
the enforcement of that understanding. |
Sd, That the company earned and
divided so per cent. during the four
gears ,Uhen the notes Uere giUeR, and con-
sequently that those dividends should |
have been set apart for the payment
and cancellation of the notes.
All these positions were sustained by
the court in the final decision of the |
case. The third point above named
applies to nearly all that company's
policy-hOlders in this section, and war
rants them in resisting any enforce
ment OF the notes they have given, on |
the ground that they are lawfully en-
titled to dividends enough to cancel
the notes. As this company has nearly |
$2,000,000 of such notes it is apparent
that the decision may prove very dis
astrOus to the company. The decision
is final.
