Trouble Between shar pst and
Rouehs.Ma9-etsr1
The Bohemian Sharpshooters, an assoc, |
ton composed of some twenty individuals,
had a picnic the other day at Silver Leal
Grove, corner of Ogden-avenue and West.
ern-avenue, Chicago. During a dance one
of the sharpshooters engaged in a quarrel
with Volney Clark, a visitor, and after
using him up pretty badly, had him elected
from the ground. He stated his grievance
to the crowd outside the gate, and gaining
some sympathy there, inaugurated an indis.
criminate throwing of sticks and stones
into the Enclosure where the picnic was
being held. The Lieutenant of the com.
pany, Frank Ladweie, ordered the long roll
sounded and the bayonets fixed. A charge
was Immediately made toward the gate, and
the crowd were %bayonetted and sabered
until they fell back. The company re.
formed outside the gate in single file,
facing the street, and loading their guns,
fred a volley into the crowd. They imme.
diateIy reloaded and fred again, each sharp
shooter picking his man. 1t is stated three
or four volleys were fred in all. The weap.
ons used were muzzle loading Springfield
muskets, the cartridges being composed of
nine buckshot each. As soon as the affair
became known, two squads of police re.
paired to the scene and arrested the whole
company. They formed into marching
order under the American flag and pro.
ceeded to West M~adison-street Station,
where they were incarcerated, charged with
murder, and guarded by a heavy detachment
of police. One man was killed in the melee
and a number seriously wounded.
$780,. u.,--
the Judicial Expenses Bill.
The President sent to the House of Rep
resentatives a message announcing his sp.
proval of the Army Appropriation Bill.
His Private Secretary at the same time, de.
livered to the House a message from the
President returning " the Judicial Expenses
Appropriation Bill" without approval.
The veto message is comparatively brief
document, not exceeding one thousand or
one Thousand two hundred words.
The Presidents objections to its approval
are directed solely against the clause of its
second section, which provides that "no
department or officer of the government
shall during said fiscal year, ending June 20.
1880, make any contract or incur any liza
blliity under any of the provisions of title
26 of the revised statutes, authorizing APP.
pointment or prepayment of general OF
special Deputy Marshais for service on
election days, until appropriation sufficient
to meet such contract or pay such liability
shall have first been made by law"
The President in his veto message, takes
ground that it is his sworn duty, under the
Constitution, to see that every law upon the
statute book be faithfully executed unit.
repealed or pronounced invalid by a com
petent tribunal; that the appointment Of
Deputy Marshals for Congressional elections
in California and the Westchester distr;ct
of New York will be required by title &c o.
the revised statutes during the next fisca
year, and that although the fulfllment o.
this requirement may be of very little
. practical Importance as regards those elec
lions, they nevertheless illustrate a prin
|, ciple, and he therefore can not attach hi
signature to a measure which proposes tt
prohibit the execution of that law by pre-
Guiding the necessary appointments.
e The message also asserts that although
J. thousands of cases arising under the Fedora
u election laws have been brought before The
courts in various parts of the country
. their constitutionality has never yet beer
/: called in question, and that, aside from hi
hitherto expressed convictions as to thei
d Importance and value, he must continue t.
1 enforce them until they are set aside by
proper judicial tribunal, or repealed by III,
O means provided in the Constitution.
The President fully comedies the right o
D Congress to stipulate for what purposes tn,
various items of money appropriated by i
y shall be used, and finds no ground Tor with
