Of murder ont of political necessity. "

read the papers OF May and June, you
will find exactly what the political situa-
ton was, and you will perhaps appreciate
what mean by political necessity"
Witness asked him if his alleged insptra-
ton came as vision, Il voice or direct
command? He said: mo; it came into
my head as :; conception, and Ilet1ected
on it unlil resolved that it was Justified
by the situ4tion.1

WHEN so careful and conservative a
publicist as Senator Bayard, not easily
moved by public clamor and devoted to
what are popularity considered Eastern
rather than Western interests, takes
issue with the grounds upon which the
president bases his veto Of the Chinese
bill, and maintains that Arthur's con-
struction Of the treaty is not justiiiable
by any proper canon of Interpretation,
the public will regard his views as of
weight, and we publish them for general
consideration. Unfortunately for every
such measure, the vote on the veto makes
this Chinese question in its present shape
before Congress partisan issue. Mr..
Bayard insists that the ground taken by
himself and his colleagues does not in
volve a violation of the national faith
and abandonment of the honor of the
country, and he resents such an impugn-
ment by the president of the majority of
Congress. No man has been more re-
gardful of the national faith and the
country's honor than Mr.. Bayard, and
his views OH this Chinese question will
go very far to impress upon the public
mind not only that there is reasonable
ground for the regulation of Chinese
immigration, but that the bill passed is
proper mode Of reaching the object,
which even the president comedies may
be desirable.
