GOALS OF FIRE.

Late intelligence from China conveys the
information that "the Chinese of Hong
kong have subscribed literally for the Irish
famine relief fund" This is a significant
circumstance. Would the Irish anywhere
contribute literally to Chinese famine
relief fund /? The Chinese have been looked
upon as an outcast race, and they have
been particularly obnoxious to the people
whose sufferings in another part of the
world they have now come forward SC
magnanimously to relieve. There have
been in China and India, within the past
ten years, several frightful famines. Not
such famines as that of ireland,
but calamities by which scores Of
millions of people have been swept
away. Yet the sympathy created by
these disasters among the Western nations
has been scarcely perceptible. There was
an Indian famine relief fund in England,
because England is responsible for India,
but nobody ever heard of Chinese fam
Inc relief fund On the contrary, when
the Chinese famine occurred able editors
philosophically regarded it as convenient
way of reducing a redundant population,
and congratulated the survivors on having
so muh more room. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the Chinese may, with all
their heathenism, be sometimes capable OF
greater charity than Christian nations, and
when they manifest this generous spirit
the fact deserves to be recorded.

MONROE AsHBgRY.

In the death of Monroe Ashbury San
Francisco has lost one of her most sterling
citizens. He was one of those rare in
stances in these degenerate times of a man
who had held high public Offices for many
years, had borne great responsibilities, and
had retained an unblemished reputation
through everything. The character of
Monroe Ashbury was indeed above sus-
picion. He was known to be the soul of
honor, and utterly incorruptible, and the
general confidence in him was SO profound
and well established that during one of the
worst periods of detraction no whisper of
oalumny assailed his name. We do not
know that there is much more worth hay
ing in life than the attainment of such a
reputation as this good old man enjoyed so
long and so deservedly. He was loved by
host of friends for his genial kindness
and his frank and pleasant manners. He
was revered by thousands who had not
any personal acquaintance with him. He
was bright and elevating example to the
community in which he lived, and his
whole career was a protest against that
mad race for position which involves the
sacrifice of self-respect at every turn, and
whose fullest fruition is for the most part
bat a Barmecide feast.

THE DISPOSITION TO BOLT.

The machine men must be growing I'M
easy about this time, for there are many
indications that the work upon which
they have expended so much time and
labor is liable to fall to pieces just when
most depends upon its stability. 1t is
alleged, for example, that twenty of the
Pennsylvania delegates to Chicago intend
to bolt Grant, and that fifteen of the New
York delegates have agreed upon the same
course. In Illinois a desperate contest is
going on, for that has come to be regarded
as the pivotal State. The Grant men are
said to have scored point in regard to the
Cook county primaries but notwithstand-
ing the confident claims of the Inter-
Ocean that the entire Illinois dele
cation will be for Grant, it appears
that up to this time Blaine divides
the State equally with his rival.
There have been so many bitches in the
Southern States, and so many Grant losses
there and elsewhere, that the solidity of
Illinois, were even it attainable, would not
give him the nomination on the first ballot
And as time goes on, and the anti third
term feeling becomes more pronounced, it
is to be expected that the tendency to
"fall down " will be greater, SO that the
result at Chicago can by no means be re-
garded as settled. What will come of the
st. Louis Convention remains to be seen,
but it is very certain that it will not tend
to increase the influence of the machine
managers, while it may inAict heavy
blow upon them

THE VETO OF THE DEFICIENCY BILL

The President has vetoed the Marshals
Deficiency bill upon the same ground taken
by him on previous occasion. He holds
that the bill is Objectionable because it en-
bodies an attempt to settle political issue
over which there has been prolonged con-
troversy, by lacking it on to an appropria-
toni bill. Herepresents that the effect of this
proceeding is to entrap the Executive into
sanctioning a particular line of policy,
against his convictions. The bill, he says,
contains provisions which materially
change, and by implication repeal, i'm
"portant parts of laws for the regulation
"of the United States elections. These
claws have for several years been the SUBJ
eject of vehement political controversy,
"and have been denounced as unnecessary,
offensive and unconstitutional. On the
"other hand it has been maintained
with equal zeal and earnestness that the
"election laws are indispensable to fair
"and lawful elections, and are clearly
warranted by the Constitution. Under
"these circumstances, to attempt in an ap-
preparation bill modification or repeal
"of those laws, is to annex condition to
the passage of needed and proper appro-
"priations, which tends to deprive the Ex-
"ecutive of that equal and independent
'exercise of discretion and judgment
(which the Constitution contemplates
"The objection to the bill, therefore, is
'that it gives marked and deliberate
sanction, attended by no circumstances of
pressing urgency, to the questionable, and
as am clearly of the opinion, dangerous
practice, of lacking upon appropriation
"bills general and permanent legislation. y
This is very clear, and it is also very
strong. The country is familiar with the
line of argument, but it cannot be repeated
too often SO long as the Democrats continue
to attempt the kind Of usurpation to which
it is opposed. 1t is true, as the President
points out, that this practice of lacking per-
manent legislation on to the appropriation
bills "invites attacks upon the independ-
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-05-06

fence and constitutional powers of the
Executive, by providing an easy and
defective way of constraining executive
discretion" However strong the temp
tation to resort to such measures may
appear to partisans, the fact that they
involve direct and dangerous assaults
upon the independence of the Executive,
and that they are therefore calculated
to overturn the due balance of power
which should subsist between the three
branches of the Government, cannot be
denied. The Democrats, it is said, con-
template passing the provisions changing
the election laws separately, and some of
them profess to think that the President
will sign them in that form because in his
present veto message he has not expressed
any opinion upon their merits. We be-
lieve that President Hayes will consider it
his duty to veto the proposed changes IN
the laws however they are presented, and
that he will find no difficulty in demon
strating that they are unconstitutional and
against the public interests. If the Demo-
Gratis think they can afford to go to the
country upon that issue, well and good.
The Republicans will be glad enough to
meet them upon it. The country has by
this time formed its own opinion as to the
real motives of the Democratic attack upon
the election laws, and there is no reason to
think that the masses believe in the ex-
istence of any permanent Democratic re-
gard for the freedom of the ballot or the
purity and independence of elections.

VIRGINIA, May 5th.-At o'clock this
evening George Sanderson, proprietor of a
lodging house upstairs at 123 North street,
was found dead, lying on his face in front
room, blood streaming from his head. The
screams of his wife and the report of pistol
alarmed the neighborhood, and Mrs. Sander
son said Mr.. Sanderson had shot himself
through the head. Examination showed no
powder marks in the region of the bullet hole
nor SINCE of the hair, although the bullet
passed through just in front of the ears.
Mrs. Sanderson has been arrested for the
murder. Deceased was dangerously cut some
time ago, but on recovery said he stabbed
himself, and Mrs. Sanderson, who had been
arrested, was released. The parties have
lived very unhappily together, and the gen.
eral belief now is that Mrs. Sanderson for
merly stabbed and has now murdered her
husband.
