The Course that the Democrats in Congress
Intend to Pursue.

New YORK, May 29.-To-day's Tribuae's
Washington special says: A leading Demo
crat, a representative member OF the Com
mittee on Appropriations. says he has no ex-
pectation whatever that the House will con-
slider any more appropriation bills until the
fate of the Warner silver bill has been deter
mined by the Senate and the President He
said one thing is certain: That the majority
Of the Appropriation Committee can be de-
pended on to adhere firmly To any course
laid down by the party, and no more appro-
priation bills will be reported by the commit
tee until the majority of the House desires 1t
to be DONE
The same gentleman indicates the probable
purpose on the part OF the Democrats to pass
imperfect appropriation bills; that Is, to
leave out appropriations for the pay OF deputy
marShalS and supervisors OF elections, and to
prohibit the use Of any OF the money appro-
priated for that purpose. lie thinks the Pres
ident dare not refuse to sign such a bill
There is growing feeling that the Demo-
Gratis may finally conclude to pursue the
course above indicated.

Hayes Sends Another Proclamation to Con
gress.

WASHINGTON, May 29-The following is a
synopsis Of the message of the President
vetoing the Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill:
To the House of Representatives:
After mature consideration Of the bill en-
titled "An act making appropriations for the
legislative, executive and judicial expenses of
the government for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1880, and for other purposes" here
with return 1t to the House Of Representa-
tives, in which it originated, with the follow
ing objections to its approval: The main pur-
required to support, during the next fiscal
year, the several@cvil departments Of the
government. The amount appropriated ex-
ceeds In the aggregate S18o0o00o. This
money Is needed to keep In operation the es-
sential functions of all the departments OF
the government-legslative executive and
judicial.
If the bill contained no other provisions no
objection to it's approval would be made II
embraces, however, q number OF clauses re-
are wholly unconnected with the appropria-
tions which it provides for. The objections to
the practice OF tacking general legislation TO
appropriation bills, especially when the OBJ
ject is to deprive coordinate branch OF the
government OF its right to the free exercise OF
It's own discretion, and my judgment touching
such general legislation were set forth in the
special message in relation to house bill NO.
l. which was returned to the House OF Repre-
sentatives on the twenty-nnth Of last month.
] regret that the objections which were then
eX eXpressed to this method Of legislation have
not seemed to Congress of sufficient weight
to dissuade it from this renewed incorpora-
tion Of general enactments in an appropria-
ton bill, and that my constitutional duty, 10
respect to the general legislation thus placed
before me, cannot be discharged without
seeming to delay. however briefly, the neces.
sary appropriations for the. support Of
the govern ment without repeating these OBJ
jections. 1 respectfully refer to that message
for statement of my views on the principle
maintained in debate by the advocates 81 this

The Puritan stock OF Massachusetts.

New YORK, May 29.-The Sun, referring to
the startling number of divorce cases In Mas
sachusetts,, says: What is especially note
worthy Is the fact that the discontented and
estranged couples belong rather to the old
Puritan stock, over whose decline In eMassa-
chusetts the Boston Congregationalists are
uttefing lamentations, than to races which,
during the last thirty years, have been pour
ing IN such food Of emigration upon the
Old Bay State. Thus we find such names as
Ihayer, Stone Parsons, Horton, Taylor,
Henderson, West, Husey, Foster, Higgins,
Webb and others, original stock and very
few which manifestly belong to the latter in
fusion from abroad. What does this mean !?

MEssRs. EDlToRS In commuuica
ton i'll the Herdld Of yesterday, Mr.
George K. Smith, who was murdered
in l~G3 by the Molli4 Maguires, is
styled as zone Of those truly loyal ty-
rants during the war, who delighted IN
playing the spy" ere. The writer OF
said article certainly is no: acquainted
with the circumstances CONNECTED with
the murder Of Mr.. Smith. At the time
this murder was committed Mr. Smith
was engaged as superintendent of the
mines at Auirnriri, Carbon county,
which position he filled with credit and
wrs respected hv all who knew him.
AS a loyal man he did what he could
honnrabIv Y do for the support of the
Government.
The men who committees the mUr-
ders in that region were not men with
families, and were continually shifting
from one region to another. When Il
draft was ordered in Carbon, they
would suddenly disappear, and turn
up in Luzerne or SchuytkiOl counties,
at winch places they could readily get
work Oh account of the great demand
for coal.
The statement that Mr.. Smith acted
in the capacity Of a spy" or enrolling
officer, is false. The Triter OF this is
personality acquainted with the gentle
man who did act as enrolling officer,
and this gentleman was Democrat,
and has been ever since, but for his
services he was getting
paid, and suppose did not think it
wrong to hand in the names secretly OF
the much abused Mollies, who might
lrift into his district, in order to evade
4nroim in some other. Il.
