Concerning the Presidents Course
ON the Appropriation Bills.
WAsHINeToN, April 20.
Representative Lowe publishes a card
this afternoon in relation to his difference
with Senator Logan, including the follow
ing letter
WASHINGTON, April 21--Hon. John A..
Logan-Sir: On the 21st instant you pub
lished in a Republican journal of this city
= communication containing words per-
sonally rejecting on me. / have twice ad-
dressed you a note calling your attention
to this language. You nave failed and re-
fused to answer either of them, and you
thereby force me to the last alternative.
/ therefore demand you to name some time
and place out Of this District where another
communication will presently reach you.
My friend Charles Pelham is authorized to
act for me in the premises.
Respectfully, VIM. NJ. LOWE.
Colonel Lowe then concludes: Thus
ended this one-sided correspondence. 1t
needs little or no comment from me. l
will not brand John A. Logan as . liar,
for he is q Senator of the United States.
I will not post him as a scoundrel and
poltroon, for that would be in violation of

one who knows how to insult but not how
to satisfy gentlemen, and I invoke upon
him the judgment Of honorable men Of
the community.
WASHINGTON, April %.
Speculations concerning the Presidents
action on the Army Appropriation gtsslE
seem to have se!t1 ishssaasS sne expecta-
sGses $500 anu yesterday that he will
veto it, and there seems also to be q nearly
universal impression that he will base his
veto upon one or two grounds, namely, that
IL trenches upon his constitutional power
to execute all existing law by military
force il necessary. and that its enactment
would prevent the execution of the civil
process OF Federal Courts by their own
officers in cases where civil power alone
might be insufficient. Prominent Demo
Gratis say that in the event of the veto being
based simply upon the latter ground, the
majority in Congress will promptly amend
the bill in that particular and return it to
the President in such . shape as will obyi-
ate his objection.
The Senate Military Committee decided
at their meeting to request. in executive
session, the Judiciary Committee to report
on the question whether last year the law
stopping army promotions is still binding.
and in case said report was not made before
the next regular meeting. it was the inten-
ton Of the Military Committee to take action
itself on all nominations pending fcT promo
ton. A majority Of the committee is in favor
Of recommending all the nominations for
confirmation. The request was probably
made as above stated for the SUBJ Committee
OF Judiciary. Senators Garland, Edmunds
and Carpenter are prepared and will report
to-day, and their report, it is understood
will be favorable. Senator Logan, al
though beaten in the committee, on his
proposition to make the date Of nomina-
lion the date Of a commission Of an officer,
which has never heretofore been lone ex-
cept in case Of q new appointment, will, it ia
stated, bring the matter before the Senate.
1t Is believed to be quite certain that all
pending nominations will be confirmed be-
fore this session closes, and the Army APP
preparation bill. which aiso contains
clause prohibiting promotions, shall have
become . law.
The excess of exports over imports of
merchandise for the II months which ended
March 81. 1879. was $3.50, 831 .122, against
$l99. 400, 800 for the year ending March 81.
1878.
