MARSHAL BILL VETOED.

The President has vetoed Senator
Bayard's Deputy Marshal's bill.
The main object of the bill was to
secure non-partisan deputies Of in
telligence and good moral charac-
ter. Mr.. Hayes is not willing, APP
parently, that this shall be done.
The result will be that no money
has been appropriated for any OF
the special deputy marshals. The
vetoed bill, almost verbatum, was
inserted as a proviso in the little
Deficiency bill, which passed Con-
gress some months ago Mr.. Hayes
disapproved of that because of what
he termed sits rider" but he init
mated that should the proviso be
presented to him in the form of a
separate bill, 9 would sign it. As
that is precisely what the Bayard
bill was, it follows that the Presi-
dent, in vetoeing the same, has,
acting in his official authority, broke
faith with Crngress.

STAND BY THE COLoRs.

The Greenbackers have gone
through the farce of nominating a
ticket for President and Vice Presi.
dent, knowing at the same time
they have not the shadow of a
chance Of carrying a single State in
the Union. The only harm the
Greenback party can do, will be to
draw enough votes from the Demo
cratic ticket in doubtful States to
assist them to go Republican. That
is all it can do. 1t now remains to
be seen if Democrats who have been
persuaded to join this new party
will vote for its leaders and help to
continue in power corrupt Republi-
canism. If they have a gill Of Dem
ocratic blood in their veins they
will forsake the Greenbackers and
cooperate with Democrats in then
efforts to destroy the Republican
party. A vote for the Greenback
ticket amounts to the same as /
vote for Garfield and Arthur. :

ANA ON THE EXODUS,

Senator Lamar made a speech in
the Senate on the 18th inst, or the
negro exodus question, and said
If labor was needed in the North
and obtainable in the South he
thought it eminently useful and pro-
per that the demand should be sup
piled, and further, even if the mi
grafton of the colored people were
in obedience to such a natural de-
mand, but if they had been induced
to remove by misrepresentation
and efforts more political than in
dustrial, as he found reason in the
Investigation to believe, still he held
that while there might be suffering
among those who were thus misled,
on the whole the change would be
to their benefit as a class, but he
held that they were not forced to
migrate. He said that he himself
knew of many negroes who had &C
quired property and never knew of
one who lacked food, and read ex-
tracts from statements of Bishop
Simpson, Rev. DR.. Hatfield and
Rev. DR., Talmage, who had recently
visited the Southern States, and
who, being well known friends OF
the negro, testified to their comfort,
!. prosperity and peaoeaale enjoyment
of all their rights. He quoted also
General Grants Cairo speech and
closed by showing that laws in the
Southern States give the negro q
special and prior lien on the crops
he ~cultlvates. He asked that the
negro be left, like every american.

disturbed by men who lever tooh

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

A rule which demands obedience
to party dictates at all times and
under all circumstances makes des-
potism possible. 1t relegates the
mass of unobstrusive thinkers to
slavish silence, and elevates the
mere machine politician into n demi-
god. Such a rule can never obtain
in the Democratic party. Its lead
ers are not masters of the people;
they are guides. Their ascendency
must always depend upon their fit
ness to lead and the integrity of
their leadership. That this has al
ways been practically true in the
history of the party is not asserted,
but that it is the theory and the
true instinct of the Democrat we do
believe. The people detect a ~
terfeit in the end. Demagogues
have hourished in the party, and
they will flourish again; but they
have come to naught, and they will
in the end, and on an average, meet
with that fate.
1t is said that there is some such
talk as the nomination of Grant ut
Cincinnati. We hardly think that
levent is in serious contemplation by
any Democrat who loves anything
but the loaves and fishes of office. If
Grants nomination was secured by
his election, the victory would turn
to ashes on the lips of every man
Iwho was not rewarded with an Of
fee. 1t would be hard and it would
be very sad to be compelled to say
what was the duty of the party in
such an emergency as that would
spring.
Weproceed to-day upon the idea
that the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention will be selected, not only
on account of his availability, but
because he is, and is to be, the rep
resentative Of principles. That he
will be a man indoctrinated with the
tenets which distinguished the party
led by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and jackson; that he will be a maj
of decided convictions, Of mora
courage, and of political integrity
Now, whether that man should b.
Bayard, Hancock, Seymour, Randall
or Tilden, he should be cheerful.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The National Democratic Conven-
ton assembled on Tuesday. Judge
Hoadley was selected Temporary
Chairman. and afterwards Senator
Stephenson, of Kentucky, was cho-
sen Permanent Chairman.
Tilden and Seymour have with
drawn, and the race is now between
Bavard and Hancock. Mississippi
will probably support the latter. The
Hancock men are quite sanguine,
and their fayorite's star Is rising,
though Bay ard seems to lead the
field.
1t is conjectured that none of the
candidats now named will be
nominated, but that Tilden's name
will be brought forward again to
day, and that he will be nominated
almost unanimously.
Bayard has developed unexpected
strength amo NC the New York del
egation. Chas. O'Connor and Sen
ator Wood of New York tele-
graphed the Convention pledgine
that State to Bayard by 10000.
His chances are exceedingly good
and we scarcely doubt but what hi
will be nominated, provided thu
Tilden boom is not inaugurated to-
day.
1t is hard to tell who will be tn
fortunate man. A dark horse ma,

coveted prize.
