CHANCE FOR ANOTHER VETO.

Should Mr.. KNOTT's Printng-Ofice bill,
which takes from the President the consti-
tutional right of nominating Public
Printer, pass both Houses of Congress, there
will be another most excellent opportunity
for exercising the veto power on the part OF
the Executive. The best constitutional law
yers of both Houses of Congress and of both
political parties came 10 the deliberate con-
cluson, when the appointment was last
changed from the Senate to the President
that the Constitution had not fully justified
its transfer to the Senate. This view Of the
case induced the Republican majority in the
Senate TO consent to the transfer and it was
done Now, because the Democrats have q
majority in Congress, and some partisan
wants n rich slice from the Government
cake, they propose not only to divest
the President OF conceded right,
that party ends may be subserved, but
they propose to do what it takes courage TO
do-make a bold and barelaCed attempt
under the forms of law, TO seize and appro.
pirate to private benefit nearlya million oi
dollars worth of the public property-all os
tensibly in the interest Of economy, but
really in the interest of the Democratic
party and its henchmen. We donot believe
that the Democrats have the courage Il
consummatc this piece Of plumber but i
they have become sufficiently desperate t.
make such an attempt seriously, then i
will become the imperative duty of tn
President to do all in his power to head OF
the wrong, and save the public propert,
from spoliation in the interest of venality
and party plunder.

The Louisville Courier journal has an em-
phatic article, so far as double leads can
make it emphatic on the duty of the DEM
ocrats in Congress. 1t advises and cautions
them against the naughty tricks of the Re-
publicans, wherein they annoy and incense
the aforesaid Democrats and lead them to
do ridiculous things-that is, the Republic
cans tease the Democrats the same as the
boys in the menagerie stir up the monkeys
TO make them chatter and show their teeth
This is very naughty-snd, to use the phrase
of the C-J., il is rather devilsh-nnd the Re-
publicans in Congress should hold caucus
and resolve to suspend this mean" prac-
tice of incensing the Democrats, and thus
prompting them to do very absurd and
wicked things.
The Courier-Journdl informs the Demo-
Gratis in Congress that the Democratic
party has planted itself upon the Consti-
tuition" In other words it has attempted
TO sit down on it, but encountered veto
with bayonct in it, and it isn't planted
there in that shape quite as much as twas.
We recollect in 1861 the Democratic party
| planted itself on the Constitution very much
as it is attempting to do now but it met
bayonets then, and very soon broke camp
as Constitution squattcrs, and either retired
from business altogether or opened shop us
Secessionists and traded in rebellion until
that was played out
Now, the COurier-Journdi raises its warn
ing voice in the ears of Congress in eflec
that unless the Democratic policy is changed
all of US are over the dam" 1t adds, will
emphatic terseness:
The veto power is as conclusive as tho legis
latiHg power. Wo cannot Constitutonally CO
cree it. We can only, by two-thirds vote
set it aside. That two-thirds vote we lack
The Republicans are perfectly right in saying
that refusal to vote the appropriations II
revolutionary. 1t is more. 1t Is revolution
1t is more. II is ruin
These are words fitly spoken, and the.
indicate that the Courier-JomRal is begin
ming to get its eyes open to the situation
and sees that the party is in danger o
going " over the dam" and Of landing in tn
vortex of revolution and ruin. Its warning
is evidently prompted by sense of danger
1t acknowledges the revolutionary charac
ter of the Democratic attitude, and sound
the alarm that inevitable disaster await
the future of that party. We apprehen,
that the party is in the maclstrom and tha
to retrieve it is impossible. 1t is too late
Public confidence is impaired.

MIR. j. FLOYD KING.

1t is possible that Attorney DEy-
EMS may have a sufficient excuse for his in
reference to protect M. j. FLOYD KING, of
Louisiana, from immediate trial by the
United States courts in New Orleans If he
has, it is probably based upon the assump-
tiOn that KING can be reached at any time
after the adjournment of Congress, and that
the Government does not desire to raise
once again during this session the question
of the privileges and immunites Of alleged
Congressman in matters of this kind. Nh
KING, who is another Confederate Brigadicr
by militia appointment, is the notorious
person who tclegraphcd to Governor NICH-
Oils during the last campaign: 81 have
crossed the Ouachita with 1000 men!"
and to whom NICHOLS replied with
the question: "By what authority?"
The immediate occasion of this
was one of those frequent sensational and
purely imaginary negro uprisings in the
Ouachita region which always result-as it
did in this especial instance-in the killing
of several negroes, and as invariably wind
up with the stereotypcd information, No
"whites were injured" The indictment
under which ur KING is to be tried is based
upon his alleged participation in one OF
these characteristic Bourbon attempts to
quell bogus uprising, to fight n windmill
as it were, in which several innocent Re.
publicans were murdered. The Copids fol
his arrest here in Washington was is.

States Court, then in session in
New Orleans but its service has been with,

il as they were few months ago with tho
details of the arrest, or attempted arrest, o.
Senator PATTERSON and Representative
sMALLs, upon requisitIon of the authoIi'
ties of the Great State Of South Carolina
In those cases there was no reason to be-
lieve that the accused would attempt to
eyade trial, anymore than there /!
that Dr. KING will now; but
the Democratic managers took The
matter in hands and gave it every pos
sible publicity their object being to make
all the political capital they possibly could
out of it. In the case under consideration
however, General DEYENs seems to have
aided these same Democratic managers in
keeping its details from the public eye and
in preventing the Republicans from making
any political capital out Of the affair II
