Singleton on Supervisory Legisla ton,

On cur page, we have commenced
the publication of the mastery and ex-
haustive speech of Hon. O. r. Single
ton, promised our readers some weeks
ago. For their convenience we have
divided its publication into two parts
the second of which will be printed in
our next number. In the present
paper, the various branches of the sub
ject of monopolies, their powers and
duties, and the demand for supervisory
legislation, are argued. The common
law view of the subject is presented
with force, backed by learned authori-
ties, and also the right of Congress to
exercise restraining powers over roads
carrying freight from one State into
another.
The arguments on these points are
followed by a discussion of the subject
of State legislation, and demonstration
of its necessity. The latter part, we
have reserved for our next paper.
There is no question which commands
so large share of public interest as
the subject of monopolies and their
relation to the rights of the people; and
the necessity of protecting the one
against the encroachments of the other.

A Good Measure.

The following is correct text Of the
bill introduced by Mr. George in The
L. S. Senate in January, to encourage
agriculture and manufactures:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House O
Representatives of the United States o
America in Congress assembled, That al
duties and imposts now laid on machinery
| for the manufacture Of cotton and wooler
goods, or goods composed of hemp or jutt
or rance, and all tools of mechanics which
are used solely by manual labor, and al
agricultural implements, and on all iron
ties, ties commonly known as cotton-ties
including the hoops, be, and the same arr
hereby, repealed.
The tariff is Il living issue with which
the people are confronted, face to face
The present system creates and shields
monopolies at the expense Of the great
body of the people, and ought to be
thorough " overhauled If its reduc
ton as whole is impracticable, then ii
would be we'll to reform it piece-meal,
beginning with the articles on which
the duties bear most oppressively upon
the producing classes. The South is
especially interested in the establishment
of manufacturing enterprises and a
measure which would reduce the tariff
on machinery employed in manufacture
ing, as provided in the bill of Senator
George, would be of inestimable value.

Thus speaks the fair minded and

Reyeille in vindication of Governor
Lowry from the unreasonable com
plants that have been made against
him, because in pleasing himself in ex-
ercising that most difficult and respon

never discover a lesson in 4Esop's fable
of the fate that overlook the miller who

The old man, hearing this, quickly babe his

THE HEATHEN CHINEE.
The President VetOeS the Bill to Prohibit
the Importation of Chinese LabOrers.

WAsHISGToN, d. c., April Anime
diateiy after the reception of the President
message vetoing the anti-Chinese bill, the
President pro TEN, suspended the operation
of business to lay the communication before
the Senate, and directed it to be heard.
The reading of the message was listened to
with marked interest by the entire Senate
The vital objection of the PRESIDENT is to the
twenty-years suspension of immigration,
which he CONSTITUTES as virtually prohibitory,
and therefore violatiYe of the spirit, if not
the letter, of the negotiations upon which
the treaty was based, and as a breach
Of national faith. The message calls
attention to the propositions made by the
United States Commissioners on this point
and counter propositions on the part of
China, to show that the understanding of
the latter country in the agreement which
was ultimately made, was that immigration
would be limited or restricted to reasona-
bic period. The President then points out
other features of the act, which,
in his opinion, can be modified to advantage
The system of personal registration and
passports is specifically mentioned as I'M
Democratic and hostile to our Constitutions
and he alludes to the commission of the act to
make any provision for the transit to China
Oi CHinese SUBJECTS now settling In foreign
countries, to which subject, the President
adds, his attention has been called by the
Chinese Minister. The message referred to
the alleged benefits to its industry derived
by the.Paciic slope from the presence of
the Chinese heretofore. Without naming
any specific period of suspension, he sug-
gests that the length of the term should be
experimental
In discussing the meaning of the word
"Laborers," as used in the treaty, the Pres
ident comedies that it includes ARTISANS or
skilled laborers," In regard to the term of
suspension, he says: "The examination
which | have made Of the treaty, and of
the declarations which its negotiators have
left on record of the meaning Of its language.
leaves no doubt in my mind that neither
contracting party in concluding the treaty
of 1880, contemplated the passage of an
act prohibiting immigration for twenty
years, which is nearly a generation, or
thought that such a period whould be rea-
sonable suspension or limitation, or intended
to change the provisions Of the Burlingame
treaty to that effect. l regard this provis-
ion of the act as a breach of our national
faith, and, being unable to bring myself
in harmony with the views of Congress
upon this vital point, the honor of the
country restraints me to return the act with
this objection to its passage.

self. 1t will be the old fight over again
in which Andrew jackson lead the
cohorts of freedom against the gigantic
monopoly known as the United States
Bank. As for ourselves we will stand
by the old landmark. The National
Democratic party in former days nailed
its flag to the mast with this inserip-
ton:
Congress has no power to charter a national
bank. We believe such an institution, one of
deadly hostility to the best interest of the coun-
try, dangerous to republican institutions and the
Liberties OF the people, and calculated to place
the business of the country within the control
of q concentrated money power and above the
laws and will Of the people.

The Anti-Polygamy Law.

We have copied on our first page the
law to abolish polygamy in Utah. It is
a severe measure. Nothing but drastic
treatment could abate the abomination.
The milder measures hitherto tried by
Congress, had failed. Tufts of grass
did not avail, and a huge stone was
righteously brought into requisition.
1t is clearly within the province of Con-
gress to employ whatever means that
might be required TO effect the object.
The territory of Utah belonged to the
people of all the States. It was held
by the general government in trust for
them; and the government would have
been false to its duty if it had permit
ted the Mormon squatters to dedicate
it to the abomination which practically
excluded all but themselves from its
enjoyment.

resolved. ike brave, true men, to put

For Immediate LeYee Repairs.


The House Committee have agreed
to insert in the river and harber bill an
appropriation Of 4,723, 900 for i'm
provement Of the Mississippi river from
the head Of the passes to the mouth Of
the Illinois river They provide that
of this sum, 81, 123. 900 shall be ex-
pended for improvement below Cairo,
and 5000, 600 between Cairo and the
Illinois river. The whole appropriation
is to be expended by the Secretary Of
War, in accordance with the plans,
specifications and estimates Of the
Mississippi river commission. The
committee inserted a proviso as follows
ssThat no portion Of the sum appropriated
shall be used in the repair or construction
of levees for the sole and exclusive purpose
of preventing injury to lands by overflow
or for any other purpose whatever, nnles:
in the judgment of the commission II
should be done in connection with the
object of improving the navigation aud
deepening tile chadbei u 1he ii'St'
The meaning of this IS, that Congress
should not commit itself to the policy Of
leveeing the river for agricultural
purposes, but will do so in the exercise
of its power to regulate commerce
between the States. As the protection
of the lands liable to overflow is q
/ necessary eoneomitant Of leyeeing them
for the improvement Of navigation, the
friends of the levees will not quarrel
about the objects of the bill. Its the
effect, they are looking to.
