Opposition to Appropriations Nothing New
In the House.

Opposition to Appropriations Nothing New
Washington Every Evening.
"Sunset" Cox now and then does some
good with his "smartness." During the
debate on Friday on the appropriation for
the pay of election deputy marshals there
was considerable passionate assertion on
the Republican side of the duty of Congress
to appropriate money tor the enforcement
of any law declared constitutional by the
supreme court. In the course Of the dis,
cussion, Mr.. Cox made little speech
which gave rise to the following colloquy
Mr.. Cox. Does my friend from Ohio
remember the fugitive slave law?
Mr.. Garfield. Yes, and the Dred Scott
decision too.
Mr.. Cox. Would the gentleman have
carried out the fugitive slave law by voting
money for the slave catchers Applause.
Answer that question. Answer it any of
you. Would you have voted money to
have carried out the fugitive slave law
tutional? Applause. You are dumb'
[ Loud laughter.I
Mr. Hawley. have said that no power
lar or move step to execute that law.
side, and very good one Laughter
He we find the simple truth about this
matter brought out. All men admit that,
as rule, Congress ought to appropriate
money for the execution of existing laws,
and all mea admit that, as rule, apprO-
priations should be voted without cOndi-
tions, and yet the House of Representa-
tives has again and again refused to make
appropriations for objects to which it is
opposed. The Republicans caused an
extra session rather than vote money to
the army without conditions during the
Kansas troubles, just as the Demo-
Gratis did later rather than vote
an army bill without restricting
the use of the troops for political purposes
in the South, and the Republicans refused
in Andrew JOhnson's time to appropriate
money to pay the salary of a minister to
Spain who was obnoxious to them. The
fact simply is that, though the rule as We
have stated it is admitted, the majority of
the House every now and then, under the
influence of strong party feeling, makes
an exception to it, and it is ridiculous to
insist that the attempt to do SO is something
revolutionary and unprecedented. Mr.. Haw-
ley was frank enough to say that, if he
had been in Congress when the supreme
court declared the fugitive slave law con-
stitutional, he would not have voted money
for it's enforcement, and yet his refusal to
do so would have been precisely similar to
the refusal of some of the Democrats now
to vote money for the enforcement of the
federal election law which has been de
clared constitutional. Yet Mr.. Hawley
was one of those who denounced the rea-
sonable compromise which Mr.. Garfield
offered and the Democrats of the House
wisely accepted, dispits the fact that they
no more believe in this decision of the su-
preme court than Mr.. Hawley believes in
its decision in the fugitive slave case.

Easily Answered.

The Harrisburg Patriot will not hear
to the precedent established by the high
ly respectable convention of Democrats
which assembled in Pittsburgh two years
ago, and it styles the ruling of that de-
iberate body ''mob laws" when in fact
it was expressly declared by that con-
vention, embracing so many of the ablest
and most honOred representatives of
Pennsylvania Democracy, that the time
ordered precedents forbade any authority
outside of a convention deciding who
were and were not members of it. The
analogies suggested by the Patriot in the
case of clerk of the House making up a
roll of the incoming House fail because in
his case it is provided that regular certified
returns of those prima tdcie entitled to
seats be made to him, while there is no
such provision made for any returns be-
ing furnished to the state committee or
it's chairman.
In answer to the Patriots first conun-
drum we have only to say that it sug-
gests purely theoretical and altogether
improbable contingency, and one which,
if it should ever happen to occur, must
and could more safely be left
to the patriotism and intelligence
of great body of Democratic
representatives than to state commit
tee, created year before and probably
packed for a decision. Under the Pa
triot's view of the matter how much more
deplOrable would the situation be if
twentS-six members of a state committee
could decide that certain bogus delegates,
constituting majority of the convention,
were entitled to make the temporary Of
ganization !? . BY such a device every
member regularly elected, could he barred
out by majority of the state committee,
who have acknowledge nor authority in
the premises whatever.
In answer to the second question we
say that the only prima tacie right of a
delegate to seat is his untainted and
undisputed credentials. 1t has never
happened yet and never will happen in a
Democratic state convention that ma
jority of all the delegates have their
places contested. There has always been
and will always be enough unchallenged

SALISBURY News.

Isaac Kaffroth has sold his crop Of one
acre Of tobacco to Jonas Eby for 233, 10
and 5. Mr.. Kaffroth has again won the
belt for fine tobacco in this locality, hav-
ING received the highest price paid in this
immediate neighborhood, and as he was
called the boss tobacco farmer one year
ago, is by this sale still entitled to be
classed as the Boss.
The public roads of Salisbury arc being
sold to the lowest bidders, to be kept in
order by them for next three years they
are selling for less than they did three
years ago. Salisbury having q special road
law passed in 1863, the roads therefore
are made by contractors instead Of by
supervisors rs in other townships.
N. c. L. Fisher lost a valuable horse n
few days ago. He had been to Lancaster
with load of tobacco. When he returned
home he discovered that ono of his horses
was unwell and next morning found him
dead in the stable. The loss was placed at
5000; as the animal was very fine one.
Mr.. Samuel Kurtz, of Ashland, Ohio
formerly of Leacock township, has just
returned from Philadelphia, where he
disposed of nine head of horses, brought
from Ohio, for the sum Of ss,545 Or

SENATOR WALLACE is to be congrat-
ulated on the consideration he enjoys
among the Republican politicians and
newspapers. Representative O'Neill lauds
him in the House for keeping in the Phil
adelphia marshal which he says he
didn't do. The Republican papers in
Pennsylvania which think highly of Sen
ator Cameron think as highly, they de-
clare, of Senator Wallace. They hold
them to be a noble senatorial team, and
certain Democratic journals and polltl-
clans who are known as the partlc-
ular friends of Senator Wallace turn
out to be defenders of Marsha! kerns's
appointment, although Senator Wallace
saws he did all he could against it: which
seems strange we mean the difference
on this point between Senator Wallace
| and Senator Wallace's particular friends
There is the Philadelphia Record, for in
stance, printed where Marshal Kerns
did all the damage to the Democratic
party four years ago, that republishes the
words of the Lancaster Examiner, Cam
eron organ, praising Wallace and
applauding Kerns, because he would
not permit the Democratic friend:
of the INTELLIGENCER to have
their own way in stuffing the ballot boxe
and driving honest voters from th'
polls in Philadelphia at the last election
for cOngressmen.'

If the Examiner had an editor, in
stead of being mere dumping ground for
everybody who has an accumulation OF
rubbish or wants to spill his cart load of
petty spite into it, it would spare itself
much folly and its friends much humli-
iation. Nothing has been more appar-
ent than the utter decadence of consls-
tency, truth and logic in its editorial
columns. The example which it has
recently furnished of this in its represen-
tation of the INTELLIGENCER' S position
on the presidential question has been SC
conspicuous that it points itself out
When it says that the 1NTELLIGENCER
has been advocating or favorins Mr.
Tilden's denomination, or has made any
sudden transfer of OF change in its opin
ions on the presidential question, it lies
But as it has lied before, and lied will
fully and stupidity, it will doubtless CON
tinue lying, willfully and stupidity.
