CABINET CONGRESSMAN.


Senator Pendeton, of Ohio, has in
troduced bill in the United States
Senate, giving the members OF the
President Cabinet soats on the floor OF
the House. A similar position Is occu'

for morality and the Union that they
be kept ont of doors-not allowed To

Deputy United States Marshals who
helped the Radicals last November tc
carry elections. The Attorney Gen
eral states that the whole number ap
pointed was 5,49l--about one fourth
as many az the regular army numbers
These satraps were mostly piled int
closely contested Congressional Dis
tricts with orders in every instance Il
do all they could to defeat the Demo
cratic nominees. Thirty Radical Con
gressmen were elected last fall BY
these bloodhounds Of dcspotism, and
just so many Democrats defeated

TIE VETO.


Senator Beck seems TO express q
very correct appreciation OF the veto
when he says
1 am greatly surprised that the President Ia
vinw ofhis own votors while q momber OF Con-
rrcss and OF his past conduct In politics; and 10
view oihis cabinet officers and their past opinions
should veto bill like this after having ad,oea'
ted and voted for bills 80 much more oejesucn'
able than this one. II the States or this Union
are not eompstsat to keep their own peace at the
poll. they arenot a. to be States.
That portion of the veto which Ia
directed to the subject of tacking leg
islative measures upon appropriation
bills comes with poor grace iron a
man who, as member OF Congress,
voted for the same thing, and whose
council of state have nearly all been
defenders and abettors of the practice.
Whatever their views on the subject
may be worth abstractly, they Will be
heard with little patience in their pres.
ent application on this account, and
will be taken as a partisan snbteriuge
that does not get Mr.. Hayes and his
cabinet out of the scrape into which
their past record plunges them.
If Mr.. Hayes does not propose to
use the army, or is unable to use II in
a way to Justify the Democratic appre
hension, then he would have had moth
ing to lose of partisan advantage OF
official dignity by signing the bill and
assuring the country of the complete
innocence of his and his psrty's de-
signs. If he intends no practical use
of the provisions Of the law which en-
ables him to use the army for political
purposes, why object TO the formal re
peal OF tho law 7 He IS advised by o
friendly journal, the New York Eren
ing Post, that, in this view of the case
by consenting TO its repeal he woulc
have strengthened his position, would
have conformed to sentiment whicl
is as clearly proper as it is distinctly
popular, would have quicted the coun
try, would have enabled himself to re
sist more eflectually measures Of actua
coercion by Congress, and would have
put MS party III pettoi s'eu"IVh W
making this concession.
That Mr.. Hayes should refuse u
sign a repeal Of anything so harmless
as he makes out the obnoxious law
to be, and that his party should Sc
strenuously oppose the repeal, have
given the country fear that they arr
OF serious import, and public sentimen
now more emphatically than ever de
mands their repeal. How that repea
} shall be accomplished is a secondary
matter, but 1t does not lie with Mr.
Hayes to say that it shall not be don't
in the way which he and his party 81
long approved and practiced.-LdH

dictory one, but no other expression
at the present presents itself that con-
veys so well what we wish TO say.
During the late war between the
States there were great numbers of
gentlemen who were always on hand
to urge other men to enter the service
of their country, but they were care
ful to remain out of danger. These
are the men to be found in all of the
States, both North and South. In the
North they were full Of blood thirsty
speeches against the South, but found
Canada pleasant country about the
time draft was to be made, and their
class in the South were their equals in
bloody threats against the North, but
managed TO pay visit to their friends
in Cuba or some other friendly coun-
try. These patriotic towards were
bold to make money, provided the sol.
diers would protect them. They did
not want the war TO end while they
could make money out of il. After
the war was over, these men began TO
look out for Office and 1t is painful 10
be compelled TO confess that many Of
them, by the use of their money found
easy places from which they have add.
ed wealth to their already large bank
accounts. These are the men who are
constantly talking about the danger oi

DEsPorc PowER.-There can bo no
question about it. The Radical lead
ers are welding all the power they
possess inside and outside Of Congress
for strong military government. A
cotemporary says: Now it appears
that "Congress is coercing the Presi-
dent" again. The "coercion" this time
doesn't result from the arrangement of
topics in bill, but from the order in
which bills are to be considered II is
squarely asserted in leading Repub-
lican newspaper that, as Congress was
called in extra session to pass appro
priation bills, it cannot with propriety
Or decency do anything more nor less
than to pass such bills and go home ;
and further, that to hold back the We
toed army appropriations until anoth-
eT matter is sent to the White House
is clear case of attempting to "coerce
the President" 1t would be a waste
Of time TO treat such stuff and non.
sense seriously, but it is well for the
people to understand that the mon.
archial powers claimed for Mr.. Hayes
by his party organs and the insignifi-
cant position assigned to the law-mak.
ing power is the Radical creed.
