Alexander Hamilton was one
of the ahlest advocates of execu-
tive power; and if his honorable
ambition had been gratiiied, he
would probably have given a diff
ferent direction to the politics of
the country and to the interpreta.
ton Of the constitution from that
which was adopted under the
lead of Thomas Jefferson. But
Hamilton: with all his strong ten
denotes, regarded the veto as d
conservative power conferred OH
the executive for self defense
against the possible encroach-
ments of the Legislative branch,
and intended to prevent the pas
sage of bad laws through haste,
inadvertence OF design.
1t was never preten led that
the veto might be employed to
coerce Congress into submission
to the executive will regarding
appropriations of public money,
either in expectancy, in form or
in amount, or to prevent the re-
peal of ARBITRARY and partisan
laws. passed during a period OF
civil c%ommotion; or because Con
gress limited an appropriation for
a special object, or refused to
makeit at all. No such preten-
sion was ever made by any law
fully elected President.
In 1867, the republicans graft
ed on the army appropriation bill
a section which virtually depriv-
ed the President of his constitu-
tional functions as commander in
chief of the army, and denied to
ten States of the Union their right
under the constitution to protect
themselves in any emergency by
means of their own militia. 1t d
veto was ever justifable, it was
in this case: because the violence
of partisanship had ~assailed cou
stitutional rights. But Andre"
johnson was disincliued to raise
an issue with a congress that hat
struck directly at the authorlt.,
of the executive. He signed TIT
bill and said: Il am compelled

The Shooting and Killing of
Oscar Dapuy.

On Wednesday night of this
week a fearful tragedy was enac-
ted on east bank OF the river in
this parish. Mr.. Oscar Dnpuy,
a native of this parish, heretofore
considered a most inotfensive per
son, and related TO some Of the
best people OF the parish. in Il fit
of mental alteration, conceived
the idea of entering upon the
premises of Mr.. A. Layrisson,
about half-past II O'Clock. He
was warned away by threats
from Mr.. LayrisSon, but he short
ly after returned armed with a
cooper's axe, a Ratchet, a razor
and an irou hook Mr.. Layrisson
awoke his clerk, Mr.. Lawhon, and
they both endeavored by threats
to drive away Mr.. Dupuy, but
without effect. Mr.. Dupuy per
sisting IN attempting to do bodily
harm upo' MIR. Lawhon, the latter
fired a shot from a double barrel
ed shot gun, loaded with small
shot into the abdomen of Dupuy.
Mr.. Dupuy has since died from
the effects of the wound and Mr..
LawhoD is now d prisoner await

Mr.. Monroe was then Presi-

allowed no sentimentality to in
tertere with his Sense of duty, or
with his assertion of the rights of

toed the bank bill, 1882, he was
not less emphatic in expressing
his views. On that occasion he
said.
The veto is an extraordinary

in ordinary cases. 1t was desig,

Internal Improvements.

Our neighbour, the Thlbodaux
Sentinel, tells Us OF the great im-
provem-nt in business which has
followed the connection of the
town with Morgan's r.. Il. by
means of the new branch. We
are happy to hear it and hope to
have a railroad in our parish
some OF these days. We have
had q disastrous fire, which has
proved very destructive to the
business portion of our town, yet
it has been attended with a de-
cided improvement to its front,
as some good buildings are rap
idly taking the place OF those
destroyed. The improvement in
Thibodanx has not been restrict
ed to its volume Of business, but
has extended to the columns OF
the Sentinel, which are now more
numerous and contain a great
increase of reading MATERIALS
sumption Pioneer.
THAT tie Branch road should
extend to Paincourtville is a plain
question requiring no argument.
1t would benefit every planter to
have such d road. but if the peo-
pie along the route desire one to
be built, they must take the initia-
tive and not sit down and
wish tor it. These public i'm
provements are not such terrible
bngbears as some folks imagine
when people once make up their
minds to 60 through with them.
The benefits to be derived from
a railroad would pay for the hos
nus necessary for its construction
and there is no better way to ex.
pend the surplus money of the
country than in adding to its val.
lie by permanent improvement,
There are no negroes to purchase
now, so that money holders may
begin to look elsewhere for in
'estment. Waken up along the
bayou and be a live people.
