Combination Against 1t.

Combination Against 1t.
Special to the Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May lO.-The Grant
men are much alarmed to night at the turn
in the tide against him. 1t is rumored that
Washburne has formed a combination with
Blaine to defeat Grant, and the air is rife with
the widest kind of speculation concerning
this new move.
ADJOURNMENT.
The latest movement in regard to adjourn
ment is shaping itself tonight, and that Is to
take a recess from the lst of June until the
lst of July, which is likely to be done.

HAYES VZroEs THE DEFICIENCY APPRoPRIA-
TIoN BIIL-HIs REASONS FOR so DOING.
WAsHI. GToN, May 4.-The President sent to
ing the deficiency appropriation bill:
To the House of Representatives,:
After mature consideration OF the bill en-
titled "An act making appropriations to sup
ply certain deficiencies IN the appropriations
year ending June 80. 1880, and for other pur-
poses" return il TO the House OF Representa-
tives, In which it originated, with my objec-
The bill appropriates about $500, 600, of which
over 26OO,0tO is for the payment OF fees OF
United states Marsha!s and of general and
current fiSc Al year, and their incidental ex
penscs. The appropriations made in the bill
Government and to fulfill its obligations for
the payment OF money long since due to It's
officers for services and expenses essential 10
the execution OF their duties under the Ia ws of
the United States The necessity for these
appropriations is so urgent, and they have
been already so long delayed, that If the bill
before me contained no permanent or legal
legislation uncOnnected with these apprODri-
ations, il would receive my prompt approval.
IL contains, however, provisions which mate
rally change and by implication repeal four
important parts of the law for the regulation
of United states elections. These laws have
for several years past been the subject of ve-
hement political controversy, and have been
denounced as unnecessary, oppressive and
unconstitutional. On the other hand, it has
been maintained with equal zeal and ca nest
ness that the election laws are Indispensable
warranted by the Constitution. Under these
circumstances to attempt, in an appropriation
bill the modification or repeal of these laws,
is to annex a condition to the passage OF
needed and proper agproPIiiatlons, on which
and Independent exercise of discretion and
judgment which the Constitution cOntem-
plates. The objection to the bill, therefore, is
as follows: To which respectfully ask your
attention is that ii gives marked and del1ber-
ate sanction, attended by no circumstances OF
pressing necessity 10 questionable, ana as am
of the opinion, the dangerous practice OF tack
ing upon appropriation bill, general and per-
manent legislation. This practice opens wide
legislation. 1t invites attacks upon the inde-
pendence and constitutional powers OF the
Executive by providing an easy and effective
way of constraining executive discretion.
Although of late this practice has been re-
sorted to by all political parties when clothed
with power, II did not prevail until forty
years after the adoption of the Constitution.
"The States which have adopted a new Con-
stitution during the last quarter of century
have generally provided remedies for the evil.
Many of them have enacted that no law shall
contain more than one subject, which shall be
plainly expressed in its title. The Constitu-
tions of more than half the States contain
substantially this provision, or some other of
like interest and meaning. Public welfare
will be promoted in many ways by a return to
the early practice of the Government, and to
the true Iu'e of legislation, which is that every
measure should stand on its own merits. 1
am firmly convinced that appropriation bills
ought not to contain any legislation not rele-
want TO the application or expenditure OF the
money thereby appropriated, and that by q
strict adherence TO this principle an import
ant and much neeied re orm VIII be accom-
pllshed. Placing my objection to the bill on
this feature OF its frame, l fOrbear any COM
ment upon the important general and perma-
Dent legislation which IL contains as matter
for specific and independent consideration"
