PRESIDENT HAyIs's last veto is a vulgar
with Senator Bayard that it has any justifi-
cation whatever The President by this
message virtually assumes the right to CO.
cree Congress into framing its legislation in
the torm which suits him. Now, he has e-
Ultimately nothing at all to do with anything
but the substance of the bills which come be
fore him. 1t is quite as proper for him TO
veto the District OF Columbia appropriation
bill, and insist that these appropriations
should be incorporated as heretofore in the
Sundry Civil Bill, as to make any other re-
quirement regarding the forms of legislation
The fact is, as this journal has repeatedly
demonstrated, that the appropriation and
the regulativc legislation ought To go to-
gether. Experience has shown that almost
any measures, no matter how important
may be neglected by Congress, but the an.
nual appropriations must be made. 1t is
practically impossible to make any changes
or reforms, or to introduce any improved
regulations for the government of the publ,
service, unless they are incorporated in tn,
appropriations for the branches of the Gov.

C1PT. JOEETT'S CASE ONCE MORE.
Capt. Jouett has, to use the military phrase,
changed his base" hut not his " objective
" point" The Joint resolution (S. h. 1860
brought Ia by Senator IIamlin, " ten
dering the thanks OF Congress to Capt
Iouett for eminent aud conspicuous
" services in battle,' proposes that he
shall be entitled 10 the benefits of the law in
cases of officers who have received q vote of
thanks provided in section l44G, Revised
statutes. The section referred TO provides
that an officer who has received vote of
tlanks shall not be retired except for cause,
until he has been Glty-Gye years in the ser
vice. In other words, it gives him ten years
longer ON the active list. The resolution,
with cOmmendable caution, de lares that il
" shall not entitle Capt. Jouett 10 promotion,
4" as provided in section 1906 of the Revised
" Statutes" Ohe section which provides for
an advance OF thirty numbers " under
which his recent nomination was made, and
is equally discreet in making no reference u
section 1905. Now, section 1905 provides
that any officer who has received the thanks OF
Congress "may be advanced one grade. "
Hence should Senator llamlin's resolution b.
adopted Capt. Jouett will not only be ad

A useful lesson has been taught in Penn

matt. The majority gave away the control
u the Convention in compliance with the de-
mands of set of boilers who seemed deter
mined to rule or ruin. The Vaux faction in
Pennsylvania had even less claim to regu-
larity than the Kelly faction in New York.
for until recently the latter has unuuestion-
ably been the regular Democratic organiza-
tion, while the former never had shadow
of regularity. Indeed, the Kelly men have
genuine grievances, as the custom of boiling
was set by their opponents when Augustus
Sclell was defeated by Cooper for Mayor OF
the city of New York while the Vaux men
have had no other grievance than that o
twenty-three votes, which would have leer
good working majority i'll the Convection
were bestowed upon the Vaux men ,sith tw,
of the delegates at large and five distric
delegates to Cincinnati.
If this compromise for the sake of har
mony has any merit, if il is to do the leas
good TO the party, it must be followed up b,
such corresponding concessions as will com
pletely unite the Democracy of New York
But ii it is bc used to enable the Tildenite
to carry through with high hand the sys
TEN which has already thrown the Empir
state into the hands of the Republicans, i
will be a cheat and a mockery. If the spiri
of the compromise in Pennsylvania is fol
lowed, the Kelly men must be given par
of the New York delegation at Cincinnati
This is the logic of the result achieved a
Harrisburg, and the Legitimate sequence I

Sanders AS delegates to the National Con
yenton. The harmony programme is de
fusion and a snare unless the same measur
